Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Guys, what's the OTR price of Suzuki Gixxer Rear Disc Standard (Triton Blue) in your state? Here is currently Rs 92,048. It's way less than Pulsar 150, Hornet or even the FZ FI V2.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Yes it recommend to do it in the next morning after parking the vehicle for the night.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Yes i did with the help my very known mechanic where i bought the feeler guage myself and told the mechanic to adjust it to its standard clearance as i wasnt happy with the adjustmemt which the svc did as they did on warm engine. So, just remember to do it when the engine is cold other wise the adjustment wouldn't be correct.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Does anyone here tried valve clearance adjustment by themselves ? I have seen the detailed procedure in a YouTube video but never tried.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

most probably because of not replacing the brake fluid. now everythings good. no more spongy lever and brake fade.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Was it due to negligent in replacing old brake oil ?
Also did anyone here find the replacement for rear brake pad as the pads itself costs whopping Rs 1100 as being of Nissin [emoji52][emoji52]

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

was facing a problem with the front brake, firstly the lever been spongy and front brake fading after using it for sometime. the lever would come all the way back and its like the front brake is not even there. the problem was that piston and things inside the master cylinder went bad. replaced them with new mc repair kit of pulsar 180, the reason being it is cheap 268rs and ours being 400rs. brakes for both are made by bybre so no big deal and also changed the front brake hose to a steel braided one. bought it from amazon as the blue colour 90cm was on offer. got it for 520rs (460rs for brake hose and 60 delivery charge).

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

1.yes bent alloys affect handling. also check if the forks are bend and also the coneset.
2.brakes- try replacing the brake fluid and bleed the brakes. if tis the front brakes thats giving poor feedback,like spongy lever after using the brake for sometime, its the psiton inside the master cylinder.you need to buy the mc repair kit, i faced that problem.
3.gasket it is.
4.no vibrations, may be unlubed chain.
5. peak traffic, yes mileage goes down.
6.check the afr of the carb and replace sparkplug, if you havent done so.
7.hard gear shift are a trademark of the gixxer
8.may be low air pressure?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Hi guys. Which Halogen bulb suits our bike well? I'm not ok with LED and its pattern.

Can you give me online store links?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Hi All,

Suzuki Gixxer Rear Disc Model July 2016 model, 2nd hand bike, Owner for about 1.5 years

Kms ridden: 16500
Kms bought: 6300

Had one major accident where I was hit by a water tanker and have been facing a few issues

Issues being faced with possible reasons in brackets:

Straight line stability isn't as great as it used to be in my opinion. (Though the bike was insured, the ICICI Lombard thugs said no to the alloy wheel replacement which was slightly bent and I wasn't in a situation to fight it out, is that an issue ?)

Braking is a huge miss and can't even recognise my old bike (Brake pedal was bent and again ICICI Lombard said no to that)

Issue before the accident, the part of the engine from the base of the fins has been having oil leakage (Gasket leakage in all probability)

While braking, there is mild vibration because of the chain (Reduced by cleaning and oiling with the Motul packs)

Mileage on an average = 38-40 kmpl (Inspite of filling from company owned and company operated petrol pumps, is it because I am riding in peak traffic mostly ?)

Pick up also seems to be not the signature Gixxer across all revvs (Can't imagine why)

Gear shifting is a pain

Tyres dont seem to be giving me ample confidence while going on corners

Other details :

Engine oil: Using Shell 10W40 Synthetic/ Motul 10W40 Synthetic
Regular maintenance
Go to service centre: Whitefield Suzuki, Bangalore

Can someone have a look at the issues and let me know if my reasons are correct and if yes, a good capable mechanic who could help me solve these issues?

Regards,
Raven

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I usually change it at 3500km.but max i have taken this oil 4000km.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Oh good. Thanks. What's the recommended change period (I need it in bothdays and kms)?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Been using shell ax7 semi synthetic for a lobg time, so far so good.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Thanks [emoji4] Tried Ecstar and Motul by Suzuki. Will try that Shell this time [emoji106]

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Nope, just that they felt different. 7100 made the engine feel a bit coarse (rougher), while the idemitsu was quite bad when the engine was hot.

Mineral or semi synth is good enough. You can try the ecstar oils/Shell AX7/Motul by Suzuki/Yamalube. Good enough to use until maybe 3000kms. They all feel the same though, not much of a difference.
