I tried to find out the issue causing vibes. Went to OMS at madipakkam, for all my ques they had only one ans "It's normal and U don't have to worry about". Damn! when it's not found in the other vehicles, how can they say it's normal.

That triggered me for an oil change.

Actually changed the oil after reading a lot of reviews in the forum [emoji2] (Was waiting for the mods to activate my account so that I can post). Normally I don't stress the engine, not at all. Oil is the only thing right now deviated from stock config.

I will just wait for the oil to break in. Ll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for your suggestion regarding gloves. Wil try it out. [emoji4]

I even read on the forum here that Suzuki had shifted to idemetsu.. I service at Roonwal Suzuki..

Oh.. What do you think I should do..

I can't go to another service station.. Everything is too far. Engine breaking dint cross 4k or 4.5k rpm whatever said in manual..

Guys i have my last free servicing in a few days and bought a 7100 from market and thought will change at the servicing they are telling that it will violate warranty and we have to buy from them and they dont have anything apart from the stock oil
It it true?
Changing to 7100 voids your warranty?

Did you know it was gradual?

Upto 800 km its till 4.5k rpm.

From there upto 1600 km its till 7k rpm.

After that you can set it to 9.5k rpm redline.

Don't ask me how this is going to affect your engine but the company has specified all this in the user manual for reasons.

yes. it will void the bike's warranty but not battery's.

Anything deviating from what's specified for the bike, unless and until the company itself approves of it, will void warranty.

Do not laugh now, in my previous experience with a different bike I was told to inflate my tyres with normal air and that inflating the tyres with nitrogen would void the warranty of the bike. Crazy enough, eh?

Yes the pillion seat is high and is not for sitting with two legs on one side.. I sometimes take my mom out and she says that she slips forward.. Which i even feel.. But if your wife sits with two legs on both sides then it will be comfortable for her too.. And you can lower the suspension too.. Default is 3.. You can set it to 2...

Go for a newly launched avenger. As you have just married, avenger would be a proper bike. And about the seat, unfortunately you cannot adjust the height of pillion seat on Gixxer. Take a test ride of avenger and Gixxer with your wife and then decide.

Hello,

3. It's good to know that you reside at Kovilambakkam. So let me start off by saying that OMS suzuki is better compared to all others in the area. I bought my bike elsewhere but I service it at OMS, not because their service is exceptional, but just that they have courteous personnel. That's like giving you a better purchasing experience and service experience than all other showrooms in and around the place.

Now let me come to the remaining list,

1. She is not my wife. I am not married. She is not my girlfriend either. She is a petite girl, well, having the built of an average Indian girl, my team mate at work. I spent pretty long hours on my bike with her as my pillion. The very first thing she told me was this, "wow, cool bike. I find your bike very comfortable. I love the ride!". She was an amazing pillion and gripped the bike so well with her legs - well that's a tip; it works well for the pillion when he/she grips the bike properly. And the rest is relative to you and your wife. Take her on a test ride. Do not go for Honda Hornet. Instead, go for RTR 200 4V which has relatively lower pillion seat and is now very refined and also more powerful. This is just my view.

2. It is possible to take the saddle height little higher. Only way is to visit a good lining shop and ask the shopkeeper to increase the front seat height with good quality cushion. But you know? It will spoil the whole riding experience. You will not experience the bike as it is. It will only hurt your back. This bike can be so much fun! And there is no way to make your wife feel that she is sitting lower. It was funny to see pillions on FZ and gixxer next to each other. On gixxer, it's like the pillion sits higher but also has his legs stretched downward on the footrest at a comfortable angle. On FZ, the seat height is lower and also the pillion's knees have tighter angle.

An extra suggestion. From my experience and friends circle, the dual tone gixxer has poor quality paint job on the side panels. They tend to fade away quicker. The matte grey color on the single tone ones stays longer. It's your wish and preference in the end. Just saying, though.

Thanks EthanReddington for your input.. ofcourse, she would be sitting astride only..


Thanks pbandewar for your suggestion..But I am not inclined towards avenger..I will take test ride of gixxer and decide.


Thanks Srinath for taking your time to explain me clearly about all my doubts I will be getting at OMS only. If not dual tone, which single tone would stay long apart from grey? I dont like grey that much, and black is out of my list as already my honda shine is black.

Im at peace mate
A few unspoken word to the dealers

I know it's gradual.. Now I'm driving more than 4.5k rpm. I've touched 95 and that's when I felt the vibes.

@srinath2494 lol no.. I own a grey one.. Completed second service last 25th..

Oh really? Changing the engine oil voids warranty? I didn't know that.. They are recommending us to use motul with 10w40.. Here the grade is mandatory not the brand.. Correct me if am wrong.

Changing the brand of engine oil does not void the warranty. However, the best engine oil for the gixxer is motul 300v...a bit expensive but the bike give around 50 kmpl and pull almost like a 200 cc bike...
