Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Yes this is the new one with pure plus technology and its MRP is rs.827, it got sticker/label with date feb 2015 and the shell dealer in my place offered it for Rs.650 and despite the very bad review by @truelypulsarian I purchased it.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Guys... went to SVC today after washing my bike and with the usual problem... they said it was switch that got short circuited.. so they took for repalcing it... but as soon as they opened they found that the starter pin was way inside than normal... they said it was stuck inside... so they corrected it..and said it was causing the problem... i asked if it will happen again or not if in the rains...they said it shouldn't happen and if happens then they will replace it..[emoji5] [emoji4]
So my bike got wet again in the rains just after returning from SVC (co-accident[emoji13] ) tried starting and it started without any trouble ..[emoji41]

Thanks guys.. peace of mind now..

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION FOR NEW OWNERS !


Anyone ever saw a baby who walks and runs right after they're born! no right ! They need time, they progress slow by slow. So is the case for our new bikes. Our bikes need time to learn our driving style, so we should be very careful during this time period and this time is known as BREAK-IN or ENGINE BREAK-IN period.
Now i'm not a pro in bikes or mechanics or any stuffs

What i'm about to tell you is the collection of many advices i got (or found) from over the internet, my family (mechanics and riders) my friends and of course from SUZUKI.

BREAK -IN

1. For first 100 km's it is advised not to have a pillion rider
2. Till your bike reaches 1000 km, dont rev your engine more than 4500 rpm
3. Dont let others ride your bike till it reaches 1000kms. Yes people, learn to say NO to others, change in driving style during this period is a NO NO to all bikes
4. Even though 1600 km is the proper break-in period, once you cover 1000 km, you could slowly raise your rpm limit to 5000
5. Quick and hard acceleration is a strict NO NO during 1600 period. That is when someone trying to show off with their bike, let him do it, dont chase or anything


1st opinion is from internet ( pro bikers and mechanics )
2nd one is from all (internet, family, friends and suzuki )
3rd one is from internet only, how ever i once gave bike to my bro and he hungout with friends and the next day, right from the moment the wheel started moving, i knew there was a change, ride wasnt smooth, it was slow, i couldnt go for more than 50 even at top gear. when asked my bros gear shifting timing and throttle response was completely different. So yes 3rd one is an experience.
4th one is from mechanics, friends and internet. They said if we dont have a progressive approach, our bikes in future wont deliver the true power which it can offer but delivers good mileage.
So the 4th opinion is sort of independent. its your choice
Hope i dint bore you with this post and hope its someway useful for everyone. thanks and dont forget to comment what all advices you've got.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Some here on xbhp are advicing do higher rpms in short bursts and use engine braking to slow down so that the piston wont glaze and engine will get accustomed to higher rpms as well and ultimately we'll get a well broken-in engine. So will doing so harm the engine?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

2nd opinion I feel is total babying the bike which I don't agree with. My brother hard broke our Unicorn (150cc with spoke wheels) back in 2006 and feels smooth and better compared to my Yamaha FZ16 which I broke in the soft way as it was my first bike.

I've decided to do hard break in for my next bike. These two videos will help for those who want to do it the hard way. And no, this works for all kinds of bikes not just superbikes, infact all kinds of combustion engines.

This made it concrete for me.



And a nice how to.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

too bad you don't have a photo of that stuck switch. These same switches are employed on their GS 150R ;-)

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Yea i thot to take... you have Gs 150r?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Ok so we anyone knows how to find out the mileage without using the tripmeters? I actually didn't set my 2nd tripmeter... just using trip A

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Thanks bro.The choke was indeed on and that's what caused the problem.Now its back to normal.How stupid of me?.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I bet even two bikes each with hard-break-in and soft-break-in will not feel the same after 5,000 kms. Coz, motorcycle mechanics is not simple mathematics (2+2 = 4), not to mention the unpredictable human errors that gets involved in the process.

cheers

The thing about the switches is on the internet, automobiles' reviews sites. So, you don't have to own one to compare external resemblances.

So you are saying?

Re: My black beast


Yes what I said is right.

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----


Yes what I said is right. Ask them to wrap a plastic sheet over the switch.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

During my second servicing my speedo backlight went off. The svc guys removed the switch and found that the wire had moved , maybe maybe not but on holding it tightly towards the switch the light came on. They replaced the switch free of cost though. I think in might have been that preasurised water spray that caused it!!

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I dont think the mechanical run in or break in is necessary for new bikes for a period of 30 days. A couple of hours would do the job. When you buy a new mobile, the shokeeper might suggest charge the battery for atleast 8 hours.. This is not needed nowadyas it was for old bateries. The same applies to new engines too.
The below is copied from wiki

The goal of modern engine break-in is the settling of piston rings
into an engine's cylinder wall. A cylinder wall is not perfectly smooth
but has a deliberate slight roughness to help oil adhesion. As the
engine is powered up, the piston rings between the pistons and cylinder
wall will begin to seal against the wall's small ridges.[1]

In the past, the engine break-in period was very important to the
overall life and durability of the engine. The break-in period required
has changed over the years with improved piston ring materials and
designs. In reference to small engines, the break-in period now (5-10
hours) is short in comparison with that of engines of the past. Aluminum
cylinder bore engine piston rings break-in faster than those used on
cast iron cylinder bores

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

The break-in/run-in period doesn't depend on time factor. It depends on how much the engine will be run.
Complete the recommended run-in distance mentioned in the manual in one day or one month, it will be the same.
