Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
Actually it's the opposite.
Since the Rx100, samurai, shogun days...Suzuki's have always had the best gear shifts.
Its very precise, and you get a reassuring click in every gear.
I actually prefer this, as it gets you very involved with the riding...whereas I've found the yamahas and bajaj very 'fliaty' which others confuse as smooth.
For people with new bikes, work a lot o. Quick upshifts/downshifts, and above all, learn to use engine braking...you will see how the bike totally transforms in character.

I do not have this issue with my gixxer but I faced hard-gear-shifting-issue with my earlier suzuki motorcycle. Downshifting in the lower gears was very hard, sometimes while shifting up (again on the lower gears). I faced the issue thrice and each time different parts of the engine were replaced 
..
1. They didnt address the issue hence I complained to suzuki (via their website) and immediately I was showered with good attitude at service centre. They checked my bike for a day or so and sorry I dont remember this one exactly (I dont have the bills with me) but it was an issue with gear transmission system and it was fixed under warranty.
2. This time Sprocket worn out and replaced.
3. Clutch release bearing and clutch pressure disc were replaced.
Well many suggest 'it will go off with time and more km' and think people looking for a solution are creating a fuss and starting a useless discussion or blame it on your break-in period riding
.. May be they are right .. But better try getting this checked with a different service centre in your area OR raise a complaint in suzuki website about your dealer not resolving the issue since you have already waited for long..
Many GS150r and gixxer owners talk about gear shifting in suzuki not as problem-free as yamaha/Bajaj for example.. I have experienced this too.. Gear shifting is a core function of a motorcycle and if this is prone to damage easily and many customers complaining about it then there is something definitely wrong with the design may be.. Hope suzuki engineers look into it..
