Guys I think some serious problems occurred in my Gixxer , need some help on this..
I bought my Gixxer couple of days ago and when I rode 12 kms from showroom to home the engine was heating bad with some faulty smell.
I can feel the heat a meter off from the Gixxer.
Is this because this is a new bike or there is some serious problem.?
This happens very often when I go for a ride more than 10kms

But are there any necessary mods to stop spilling of dirt e.t.c...???? Also I ve observed slight rust under handle bar on suspension bolts... Any need to worry???

No way sir! this is not normal. Even at 90-100kmph speeds it should be straight. Its dangerous on highways and just in case if there is any stone underneath, the effect will be fatal. I was thinking of a bent wheel but you said you got it replaced. Now its time for you to check the cone set and/or loosen/tighten the front forks. Also check the front tyre for any damage or improper inflation.

Be safe, get it done first and then ride!

This is just a sample video I took off the internet!

Mine wobbles like 20% to 30% of what we see in this video. I took it to the SVC again and they did something with the front forks. Haven't taken it to the highway again yet. I always keep the tyre at the right pressure as mentioned in the manual. Some 2 or 3 extra psi's but nothing more than that.

@rev : Now I know your feelings bro. Yesterday afternoon in a rush I took Kakkanad to Infopark main gate road to reach office (That road is shit now, thanks to PWD pipe line installation). After that 3km road, when I reached my office both me and my ride looked like we are coming after a off-road race. See the pic attached. I have no idea how the heck the mudd gets this much perfectly every where of the bike. Lesson 1 learned : Never drive in muddy road, unless you are ready to wash it just after the ride. It took an hour to clean it today morning. Still there are few stuck in engine portion (right behind the front wheel). Hope it won't be a problem till first service (ride is now at 350km on ODO).

Yes, the bike becomes viby. Also after 95KMPH the rear view mirror vibes so much that I can't see anyone behind. Is this normal at such speeds?

Wow bro! You're same as me.. difference is that my one's black beast[emoji1]
I too did my 1st servicing today @790kms

Engine oil-270
Chain lube-42
Labour charge-90
=402

Ideal rpm of mine has also been set to 1.5
Dont worry.. its the accurate one

Handle bar bent?[emoji15] i have a friend with blue gixxer who did an accident and then his handle bar bent to the left..he made it correct tho.. but he sometimes feels as if the bike is going to the left... if you feel the same then ask at SVC to check again..

Chain sound i too had before servicing... they lubed it..with Motul chain lube.. while returning home i felt the noise again but a bit lower.. so i put the bike on full stand and placed it on gear.. gears 1 2 and 3 had no noise.. but as i kicked in 4 n 5 it sounded as if something is moving inside the engine.. i got afraid n went back to SVC.. there the head technician took it for a trial run.. when he returned he said there was no such noise..also he told me to sit behind for another ride so that if i hear sounds again.. he took me n blasted off!! He was cornering at 77kmph!! I was like i am gonna die today[emoji37] ... anyways.. i didn't notice any sound then.. then i told him to do full stand n check..n there was the sound... then he explained it was normal because of the just new lube that was put on the chain n that the sound will go away after sometime.. n it did.. in the evening while riding it was smooth.. no sound... the lube was setting.. only sound was if i put on full stand.. i guess its because of the new lube n the engine oil...
At the end..my bike is more smoother now[emoji4] [emoji5]... don't be afraid of noises... its normal.. also i hear a sound in the engine while i hold the clutch and without accelerating...i guess its because if the new engine oil setting in...

Chill bro..enjoy your ride


Love my Black Beast.. get watchers everytime on the road..[emoji41]

Hmm..I have travelled extended periods at those speeds, and the vibes were quite neglible for me. As for the mirrors..check the mounting and see if they are loose..it shouldn't shake too much.
Its difficult for me to say bro, I will need a ride on your bike to feel the exact difference[emoji2] ...but u can say this...the bike is a breeze to ride at those speeds and behaves quite well with neglible vibes....

Thanks for the update bro.
Compared to other bikes, this is the best in composure and confidence it inspires at those speeds . I'll live with the vibes and enjoy the ride it offers . Cheers

what are the other bikes?

what are the other bikes?

Bikes in the 150 to 160 CC segment under one lakh

What vibes are we talking about. Never experienced any.
