Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Digital Fuel meter actually is not precise...if it is one bar it means around 2-2.5 litres of petrol...Until first service mileage will vary a bit and do not rev your engine above 4500RPM and drive below 65 km/h!

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Thanks for the prompt reply... The chain slack is just fine, and yes I will use gear oil from now!

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Thanks. Keeping the same. Infact I don't drive above 4K RPM & 55Kmph. It is hard to control still doing it

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. It sure did relieve me!!

A friend too had told me about this sensor and I noticed this bike doesn't have a speedo cable connected to the front wheel. Cheers!

I had a tankbag installed in my 13 year old Caliber for carrying knick-knacks, but now I carry my stuff in a 'Skybag'. I don't want to spoil the gorgeous looks of the Gixxer by installing a tank bag or even a pannier.I guess you too could carry a knapsack or something for the raincoat!

Thanks a ton! Is there a way to align the sprockets at home? Chain slack is ok. My other 'roadside' mechanic is out of commission so I mainly do the stuff myself. In fact, I stopped taking my previous bikes to the A.S.S right after the free services were completed.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155


Welcome bro. If you have the proper tools to loosen the bolts & nuts of the rear wheel you can adjust it. First identify the sound from where it is coming & exact position. I think in ur case the sprocket is biting the chain at one point. Adjust the rear bolt & but for smooth spin. Also buy motul or 3M chain lube for better results.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Sure thingy! I'm going to roll up my sleeves and play with the grease this weekend. Just one more day (and a half) to go!

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I use the above Motul Chain Clean and Chain Spray for every 500kms!

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Hi guys, I have a doubt.

What is the difference between an 'O' ring chain and an ordinary one? Which type is installed in our GSX? What are the precautions/maintenance for 'O' ring and ordinary motorcycle chains?

I have been cleaning my previous bikes' chains with diesel and lubing with engine oil. Now I guess it should be different for the Gixxer; hence the query.

Thanks...

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Our gixxer has an O ring chain. Normal chains are rarely used.
Each chain link a small supporting circular ring in between the link.
O rings have a much greater lifespan than normal chains.

Thanks Radikel for the speedy reply!!

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Guys, Done 4750 KM and just changed the oil to Motul 7100 FS 10W40 which cost me Rs.775/-. Will let you know how the oil fairs. Cheers

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Hey guys;me back again.i saw a few posts on chain lubes and since its the season to get wet and wild here's a simple guide on how how to Lube your chain




You'll need


*Chain lube spray (duh) go for 3m,tribocor or motul c2.I personally Couldn't find any of them so I went with rolon(chain manufaturer)


*Toothbrush or any wire bristle brush


*Diesel/kerosene (personally I use a mixture of about 1:3 engine oil to diesel to dilute the solvability)


*Rags and a small container




Put the bike on main stand (make sure it's on neutral). Warning!!! do not turn the engine on .there are some nasty horror stories of people getting their fingers crushed by the chain.

Pour some diesel into the container .Dip the brush in it and gently brush the chain . do not pour the diesel directly on to the chain - simply use the brush to apply it. Do this for for all sides.


as soon as you are done with one section rotate the wheel to move on to the next section. Thusly brush the entire chain from all sides with the toothbrush until clean. Now use the rag to pat the chain dry. After most of the diesel has been cleaned off by the rag. Spin the tyres a few times just to make sure that the entire chain is clean.


Now that the chains clean get the lube.it usually has an applicator straw for reaching hard to reach places.attach it . put the nozzle 5cm away from the chain and squirt in small amounts along the entire chain. Turn the tire to ensure even spread . let I it rest for 5-30 minutes for the lube solvent to evaporate. Otherwise it'll just be thrown off as the wheel moves . Wipe away the excess if any present and your done!!


Depending on the manufacturer the lube will stay on 500 - 1000 kilometres (lesser in rains though).do this yourself and you can save 100-140/- for chain lubing every 2000kms by svc .happy riding

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

My friend told me that the diesel could be used in an aerosol or a spray form... I would just spray diesel onto the chain, let it run for some time and then spray the chain lubricant.... Is it harmful?? Or should I shift to using the method u described above?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

This a very dangerous process. NEVER TRY THIS.

Diesel is an inflamable fluid. In its aerosol form, it is abundant in oxygen and small suspended particles can creat a lot of static charge between them. This static can go off any time getting you a fireball.
