Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
I think so Hornet won't have handling as good as the Gixxer. The CBS model with Rear Disc of Hornet will be approx 1 lakh which takes it in the segment of Pulsar 200NS.Originally posted by sivaprasaad View PostMeanwhile there is a price hike of rs.1264 in kerala. Dont know about other states. So there wont be huge price difference with honda hornet i guess, then its the time to re think. Why suzuki why?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
It's replacing the Trigger and according to rumors its has the same Engine that of Unicorn 160 but instead of carb it has got an ECU which due the suffix R ( Hornet 160R) is tuned in a sporty way.Originally posted by Freak inExile View PostWho's the reliable source of this piece of information, please share.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
I've been taking a pillion on my bike since the last 10 days. The bikes engine doesn't seem as smooth with the extra rider on board. Does the chain need to be tightened a bit more when the bike is carrying extra weight? I'm about 60kgs, and the pillions about 50. When I'm the only one riding it seems fine, but with the extra weight it seems to take a rev or two to engage the gear/chain whenever I shift up or down.
I've discovered a few things about the bike in the last few days.
1) Taking a second passenger affects the pickup and power noticeably. It doesn't affect the speed too much, but the bike has to be worked harder to get to the same speed.
2) If the tyres air pressure is low the bike is a bit unsteady.
3) The bike doesn't feel/sound great until it crosses 5000 rpm.
4) When I was riding solo I got an average of about 53km/l, and with a pillion it's about 43km/l with the pillion on only 50% of the time. It was my first time taking a pillion, the tyre pressure wasn't always high enough, and I was riding in a gear lower than I usually do.eg. 3rd instead of 4th for the same speed.
5) The headlights alignment gets a bit off with the extra weight.
6) My pillion didn't have a complaint about the suspension/ride quality, but she did find the seat a bit hard, and found her high position from which she had a clear view of traffic scary. She may get to enjoy the view later on, but she doesn't right now.
7) The bike scraped a speed breaker only once, and as long as you're going over them at a speed that keeps pillion comfort in mind you probably won't bottom out the suspension.
8) My suspension is still at the default factory setting. I think adjusting it will make a positive difference to handling with a passenger on board.

Which 150cc (or below) motorcycle offers seamless/consistent power with/without power?Originally posted by chats View Post1) Taking a second passenger affects the pickup and power noticeably. It doesn't affect the speed too much, but the bike has to be worked harder to get to the same speed.
That's actually the settings are for. Be upfront about the suspension settings with your pillion and share with us the feedback.Originally posted by chats View Post8) My suspension is still at the default factory setting.
