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

Sorry bro, I meant the front sprocket axle, not the rear one.
May be I'm wrong, but it worked for me.

I agree. The exhaust note is really awesome. Feels like as if you are riding a super bike.

Hi,

I Purchased my bike on Jan 24 2015 and its nearly 6months now and crossed 4800 kms

Im riding daily 30 kms to my office

I have and i am still riding other bikes like apache , pulsar , honda unicorn , yamaha Fz

Gear shifting is hard and sometimes not even proper especially between 2-3-4th gear and 4-5 is smooth
I usually apply full clutch as said by service man and due to applying full clutch my clutch has become loosen and i need to take it to service station to tight it.

When i took this issue to service people they said this is common in gixxer and many complaints are noted and when they enquired with the japanese techs who visited chennai showrooms ( they said the bike is built in such a way of locking gears hardly inorder to make the gear lock correctly)

I asked is gixxer anyway special in gear system to yamaha fz, they said no and i asked then why is yamaha giving their customers such a pleasure in shifting gear with nice clutch and such a smoothness and why are you making it an issue rather.

only silence is the answer and they said it will solve as time goes but i said its already months from purchase and still this is an issue.
Self start button is not smooth its becoming worst day by day


Do you people have any solution for this hard gear shifting issue !!!

I have the exact issue. When ridden hard, gear Up shift is butter smooth(in higher RPM>5k). But riding in city pisses me off a lot. 2nd, 3rd and 4th are hard to Up and Downshift(Even harder), doesn't slot in at times. Only 5th is smooth. I even got the gear shaft replaced(around 3K KM). Still have the issue even after completing 6.5K KM. Bike is due for 3rd service next month. Again I have to argue and prove my point to the SVC. Even changed different oils(SS,FS) coz of this issue but still the issue persists. This is the only issue I have in this bike till now.

Hi bro.my bike has completed 7400 kms on the odo and is due for 3rd service.upshifts have smoothened but as you have pointed out even now I face hard downshifts.its not smooth at all.during the 2nd service I had pointed this issue to d SVC guy and asked for replacement of clutch shaft but he said this bike is designed such a way that it has a longer shaft.so it takes time to shift and will not be as smooth as other bikes.sorry I cannot use the correct term.I mean to say from the gear pedal to all the way where it connects to the gear box-it is connected by a long stick like thing. Should have taken a pic to bring forth my point.fellow members can give your suggestions whether this is correct or not.

This is a serious issue with so many Gixxers. When I was getting the shaft replaced, the SVC guys told that certain batch of bikes have this issue and hence Suzuki is replacing the shaft under warranty. As my fellow biker told, he bought his bike on Jan 25th. Mine too was purchased on Jan 8th. May be the bikes manufactured during september to october 2014 had this issue? When did you buy the bike?

I had bought it in December. I have to find out a solution this time.the SVC guy has to give a solution else need some others assistance [emoji14]

How many of you guys rev-match while downshifting? Isn't it why they came up with slipper-clutches in sport-bikes?

Engine speed should be more than gear-speed(Speedometer) when you engage clutch.

Sir, I'm not using my bike as track tool. I specifically mentioned that the issue is while riding in city traffic. I always shift when its necessary and not revving the nuts of the bike. The issue is only when downshifting below 3k rpm.

Hi all,

Yesterday 20.07.2015 - i filed a issue in suzuki motorcorp official website forum regarding hard gear shifting in Gixxer

The form went like this

Bike Name

Bike Registration number

Booking date

Address of Showroom

Customer Phone number

Feedback / queries and complaints

Customer Email id

Bike chassis number

And followed by many other options with finally a submit button

What i actually stated in complaint box is that

The Bike is having a issue with gear system and when i approached to showroom service man (pramaan suzuki ) , the response was not satisfactory and they are not able to figure the exact solution but finding temporary solution to get rid from customers and the response of showroom people towards customers is utmost poor especially from Pramaan suzuki,

Finally waiting for a positive solution for the issue stated and a diligent response from service people.



After i posted this in their official website

Immediately within an hour i got call from Pramaan suzuki showroom supervisor ( Rajasekar )

He got a mail from Suzuki India to rectify what so problem the customer is facing under warranty if its replacement and to pay importance to valuable customer

He spoked to me and said sir why did you file an issue in suzuki site and if you had said me i would have helped you and i replied dint i tell you for times from fist service.

He asked have you gone for your third service for any other showroom, i said No* next month im planning for my next third service not in your showroom.

he said sir its my duty to solve your issue now and i need to close this issue to you and file it in website query.

so he spoked as if he is ready to replace all the parts that are causing the issue for hard shifting - entire Gear System under warranty and will return my bike only after im satisfied with the gear shift.


Lets see what these people gona treat me and my beast this time.

Im planning to get my Beast to the showroom for his 3rd service by first week of August.

You have to understand one thing. For any bike, rev matching is important.

I insist once again, without any memes this time, read the manual thoroughly.

It also says about revv matching. When downshifting, pull in the clutch, downshift, and before releasing the clutch, revv 1/4 or 1/8 of the throttle so that there are some 500-1000rpm extra and then slowly release clutch fully through its friction point.

Please read the manual. Again.
