Engine was sufficiently warmed up as I was more than 15 kms into my trip. I opened the throttle, felt a sudden loss of power, like someone gasping for air...and the bike was making out a muffled grunt. luckily, after 3-4 seconds the bike suddenly pulled up and i made it.

    Is it the air filter or something with the fuel intake?

    Hi friends,
    I have a problem with my Gixxer . I think it has fueling problems in it, apart from normal morning starts now in monsoon times it kind of doesn't pull when I give revs beyond 3-5k suddenly unless I activate choke. This happens almost every time I park the bike and restart it after a hour or two now in monsoon. After I ride for 1-2 km its all fine.
    Is it common or something is wrong. Reply soon

    Thanks
    New bike, happened once. I went for some 2km after kick starting and slowed down to take a tight turn. I was in 1st gear at almost standstill speeds of 4-5 kmph. When I opened the throttle, I couldnt hear the engine and the accelerator behaved as if the engine had stopped. It was for a second.

    The cooling part could be true. After the incident I noticed that I hadn't let the engine to idle. Also, the engine is quite quick in reaching 1.5krpm while its on idle, which is within the limits of a warmed up engine. It cools rather quick compared to my older tvs. I can see that as soon as I stop it after a ride, the rpm drops to 1.25k rpm soon after I come to neutral and after I let it idle again, it rises to 1.5k or 1.75k rpm and fluctuates at this before coming down to a steady 1.25krpm. happens all the time.

    I went through the manual and it has been mentioned that this engine needs roughly 10 seconds to warm up. And it seems to be true. Also they do not insist on long warming up periods and accelerate gradually once the bike is set in motion.

      As Rev stated his issue with the bike, even I faced similar issue today riding in heavy rain. I was revving the bike hard enough between 7-8k rpm in heavy rain. I m pretty sure the engine is hot though raining heavily because I was revving it hard. Still the bike gives jerk sometimes when you sudden blip the throttle.
      I've felt this just a couple of days after servicing is done too. But ignored it .(Thought it needed proper warm up)
      Don't know what's wrong with our carburettors ,probably it has air bubbles blocking the flow. If yes how should I clear them.

      Thanks

        Do check the air filter & the surrounding for any moisture. Also just clean the spark plug this may slowdown the performance.
        Just follow my shadow.

              Does anyone found a solution for reducing the splashing of mud from the front tyre to the engine area & our legs...??

              This has become a big menace since the monsoons has started fully.

                  If you had visited previous pages and posts, you would have known that the only solution is to deal with it.

                        I have seen reviews of Gixxer SF in which they stated that despite of the Same Engines Gear shifts on Gixxer SF are a bit clunkier than Gixxer.(Sources:Bike Dekho)

                              I am following. You say performance is not so great? On what basis? Couple of years back no one would even try to support them. Its a great comeback. Really great one. I think you have to see what happens in the labs and factory pits. They have been testing their vehicles so well for this. Honda and Yamaha have more experienced riders and after these many years, suzuki's bike is on par with those two companies. Of course, the relatively inexperienced riders of suzuki are doing well. Really well. And their bike is just complementing to their skills. The bike looks amazing and also performs as great as other factory bikes. Mind you, the same post you linked actually appreciates suzuki and its rookie rider for securing 2nd position in the grid. And I didn't find any such information of riders complaining lack of seamless gear shifting? Where's it?

                              In my view, the gsx-rr looks more proportionate and has a very attractive tail section too! Go through the videos of suzuki's re-entry to motogp and how they fine tune their bike using experienced test riders like De-Puniet. Its on suzuki racing motogp site and also on other video hosting sites. They have been tweaking their electronics for the same. They have used the gap of 2+ years very well. It will get tougher if kawasaki enters again with a monster of a machine and riders

                              And winning races or securing podium finishes depends on the conditions in the given day. There are so many other factors which are not visible to viewers that determine the winner. As we can see, a fraction of a second can change the fate of the rider in a race. So I wouldn't rate suzuki's performance as not-so-great. They know their capabilities really well. They are a great challenge to other teams.
                              True...
                              To add to that...the Suzuki is the beat handler on the grid.
                              With the upgraded engine from cayalunya onwards its also almost par on horsepower.
                              Only really lack the seamless gearbox as seen from the start if the race..they got swamped!
                              Once the bike gets easier on tires and maverick vinales gets adjusted to the bike...you will see them push for podiums more often.

                                the gear shift fuss again! guys it will go off with time and more km! Forget about it and enjoy the ride! And wear a shoe so that the gear lever doesn't hurt you :P it will be protective to your feet too!

                                It is a reassuring feeling in a way. Anyway, lets not think about what suzuki india does to this right from beginning. It is something that requires time.

                                I had false neutrals twice and for a second there was no response from throttle and engine seemed to die with no sound. Thats all I could comment about the gear box and fueling in 1st gear as a new owner of the bike.
