        Its actually a lot more easier to maintain in Rain if you can just allocate a good 15 minutes. What I do in rainy season is, before end of the day, I just pour a couple of mugs of water when the dirt is still wet. It will immediately remove the mud. Wipe with a wet cloth and pour another couple of mugs to remove the remaining dirt and wipe with a dry cloth. By this way, my bike is always spic and span when I take it out in the morning.
        Polish the bike once in a month or so.

        In summer(Which is close to 8 months here in chennai :-)) its totally different. Just as [MENTION=74589]Dynamo[/MENTION] said, remove the dust with and just wipe with a wet cloth. More than enough.

        Always ensure that the bike is not left wet and allowed to dry on its own. It spoils a lot of parts. One small suggestion is, try to avoid washing the bike as much as possible. Water is a chief enemy to many parts. I even tell not to do water wash while leaving for service. I always ensure my bike is neat, even when giving for service. And I ask them not to wipe also. Usually they used recycled water which harms the paint and use oil cloth which again spoils the shine.

          I couldn't find time to lube my chain due to my hectic work schedule. It is been 1400km+ now. I think I can make it only on this weekend. Running like this will make any serious issues ?

            Will cause vibes and reduce chain life. Nothing much.
            However, it hardly takes 2 min to lube the chain before one goes to sleep at night.

              OK thanks bro. BTW what did you guys use to clean the chain before applying chain spray ? Diesel is OK ?

                Drove the bike under heavy rain for 4-5 days & i could see rust marks on the chain ,so i took a tooth brush & engine oil in bottle cap & did a chain brush while doing tooth brush Now both are shining good even after I drove in rain last week .

                  Happened to find the following poster in the waiting area of my SVC in Bangalore. From what I see, this price for chain cleaning and lubing should be universal across India as it has been set by Suzuki themselves. Seems like most of the SVC's are ripping us off by charging more than 200+ rupees. Will be complaining to Suzuki India about this and I urge you all to do the same.

                    Either use a dedicated chain cleaner or diesel - works just fine. Kerosene, though hugely debated for modern chains, works well too!

                      I am going for diesel. Since it will evaporate quickly than kerosene. Thanks for the tip Sharan.

                          You will get it in all the big automotive spares shops and will get it in almost all the spares shops in GP road.

                              Right now its on the lean side because I have rotated it 2 times anti clockwise from fully tight position,my gixxer sounds a lot different than other gixxers,it sounds thrashy like duke 200 in high revs.

                                I think that customer information board is common in all Suzuki service centers. I have seen the same at Manikandan SVC, Kochi.
