    Cheers, Your uncle.
    So did Mama and Marumagan perform the tappet adjustment?

    Tappet adjustment tool: You mean the Hero Honda tappet adjustement tool ?, but don't the Suzukies have flat-head screw like adjusting nut ?

      I meant the feeler guage (stanley from amazon.in).

      A linemans plier (commonly known as cutting plier) can do the task of the tappet adjustment tool.

      I believe all bikes have the same technology to adjust tappets. Can find out only after opening Gixxer engine head. I have already adjusted tappets on my Uni with the tools I have.

      I have most other spanners, screw drivers & allen keys to do other tasks.


      The below page has the pictures of the required tools.



      Time is a big constraint and we have planned to adjust tappet on Pongal holidays on both my Unicorn & his Gixxer.

        What are the specifications of adjustments for Gixxer??? Service manual doesn't have specifications.

          Hi Guys,

          I want to do some modification to my Gixxer 155 like :
          1. Changing factory horn to some loud one.
          2. Changing factory head light to some high lumen led one.


          Can you please suggest good places(mechanics/garages) in Mumbai to do such modifications?

          Thanks all !

                  Thanks buddy,

                  I would also like to know if you or anyone else is using the same bulb and there is an improvement over OEM after using this. Do I need to change the Number plate and parking bulbs to LED to compensate the higher wattage of extreme vision.?

                    First of all buddy i personally felt mine lighting problems get resolved with aligned of the headlamp dome...you can adjust the throw by loosing the screw below the headlamps and then adjusting the dome...now two mods are gixxer famous one of them is headlamp other being the horn
                    I am the horn guy but i Haven't changed lamp
                    And i personally seen two persons who have changed the headlamps onr with a 35 watt orsam and other with a 55 watt Phillips
                    Now i didn't find much improvement over mine readjusted high beam with the 35 watts high beam
                    But if i compare with the 55 watt then its noticeable and he is using it over 7-8 months now on a gixxer so far i haven't got any problems from him
                    And he didn't compensated the lights for the loads all are there in their places without turning to LEDs
                    For me i have added a fairing light in my SF which consists of two LEDs and yet to face any problems so i don't think you will too
                    Hoped it helped
                    Please let the community know what you finally did

                      I have Philips xtremevision, not xtremevision plus. But everything else is same, its a 55w bulb and I have it for almost a month now. Before that I had Phillips Bluvision also 55w. It's is good and no need to of changing anything else to LED.

                      Though I turn on the lights only after I start the bike. I have also changed the headlamp to point a little bit low so now all is well.

                      You can change to Philips xtremevision plus 55w without any issue.
