Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Are there noticable improvements with motul 7100 compared to shell advance ultra? I read that both are almost same and not much of a difference in engines performance..

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Clutch wire play setting only.
Setting with less/no clearance can cause clutch to be engaged causing vibes; thats what I wanted to say

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

The choke mechanism is taken care of during every service. It isn't a problem.

It isn't a myth. It happens in a variety of bikes starting from 125 cc to 600 cc. I've read that on gsx-r 600 forums too. My acquaintances and relatives are also living examples. Their bikes struggle to kick start or power start(during cold weather in banglore/delhi/chennai) without choke because they had used it ever since they got their bikes. The ones who had never used it - be it after knowing why it is provided or not, have never faced any problems in starting the bike in the first go itself.

There are also travelogues here where people had taken TVS apache rtr 160/ fiero/ pulsars to ladakh and have never used chokes and got their engines fired just using kick start.

I did not believe it in the beginning but as I came across people and experiences, I accepted the idea.

For people living in Chennai, choke is not necessary on a daily basis. The mechanism can be taken care of during every service and the mechanism itself is not fragile to stop working with course of time. Moreover, carburetor tuning is more essential and plays a vital part in starting of the bike irrespective of the weather. A well tuned carburetor doesn't really need choke.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

How can I change that setting?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

If you have seen people who have experienced this bike getting used to choke scenario, I don't have anything to say. You stand correct
May be experienced members can pour in more opinions here.

The choke mechanism on the carb doesn't give up so easily, agree with your point. But the choke cable can get stuck over a period of time, if not used.
I had faced this issue in my Hunk. The bike was getting stopped while taking U turns, as the cable was rusted and stuck inside. I was in Chennai that time and my bike never needed choke for cold starts. So I was not using it which eventually led to this. So I was suggesting our fellow member using the choke once in a while.
And, the service centers in India taking care of choke mechanism and all - can't really buy it. They just don't touch anything if its not broken.
In Gixxer forum itself there are hundreds of posts where A.S.S not doing the right job for even customer reported issues.

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

It would be mentioned in your user manual.
Adjust clutch freeplay to what is mentioned in the manual. Usually service centers would be doing it during the service.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

You are right. I had some problems earlier while sifting gears. Took it to SVC, there one guy adjusted the freeplay for smooth gear shifting. Will try to adjust it and report later on the vibes.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Guys bought my blue Gixxer ...been one week...now a dark line has appeared on the front disc brake...is it normal?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Its normal..

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I felt the shell oil sluggish at higher RPMs (more than 5K). With 7100 , I was able to achieve greater top speed and higher cruising speed (80 to 95 KMPH) without much stress on engine. I think if you ride in Highways a lot then 7100 is great. For city ride it doesn't make a lot of difference.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I had the same problem. After my first service the engine started to switch off every time I left the handlebar to left while going back to close my gate :P

I thought it was exclusive to me. Luckily, I changed the service station for 2nd service. Don't know why but I did it because I had a gut feeling that it would turn out to be good.

You know, the mechanics over there are attentive but they need everything in tamil and also in a very patient manner. I told them the problem and they instantly spotted the cause. It was not because of any rusting. But because the choke wire was tightly grouped with lighting and horn cables on the left and every time the handle bar was turned to left, it triggered the choke. It was something as trivial as that. While I took back my bike they told me that they follow directions given in their manual which clearly mentions what are to be inspected, replaced and adjusted. During every service before/after water wash, the cables have to be secured and fitted back properly. That is why I am now confident that the wires are also taken care of during service.

Rusting of choke wire is totally weird. I feel it doesn't comply with quality standards. I do not about hero or honda which you own but I can be pretty sure about gixxer. Cables can get cut due to mechanical strain but the insulation is pretty good for them to remain unaffected by rusting or corrosion.

Anyway, as a premium product, the bike is well put together for any mechanism to fail abruptly. It should be the duty of the owners to check the bike before and after service and also get the problem sorted out with service stations as and when they show up after the service. I have owned a tvs bike. They do not even ask for feedback after service. Just after a few days of purchase I got a feedback call. Nothing after that. But, the specific suzuki service stations I have been to, irrespective of service quality, call me after every service for feedback. It should also be noted that online complaints are seriously taken by suzuki and that is the reason why these service centres call owners for feedback. There has been numerous cases where online complaints have triggered the company to pressurise the service stations to keep up with the customers and address their issues until they're solved. I also feel personal relationship with the service mechanics is vital. They have to be dealt very patiently until something seriously wrong happens to the bike.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Guys,
I really got fed up and finally posting here for you suggestions...

"MY PROBLEM IS MILEAGE"

I am getting only '30-33kmpl' with riding speed of 55-60kmph...'25-27kmpl' with riding speed of 70-80kmph.

There can be some reduction in fuel efficiency due to some reasons, maybe less by 5kmpl or something, but I hardly get 30kmpl with a 150cc bike!!


All factors reasoning for poor mileage are very normal ( AFR screw settings, Timing chain settings, tyre pressure, etc.,) couldn't find what is the reason for poor mileage.

Cloaked 5437km, 3 services got over, major complaint during 3rd service is poor mileage, SVC guys told we have adjusted things it will be fine, but no change, even SVC guys couldn't sort out what might be the reason for poor mileage.

Comment on this ASAP!!

Thanks in advance.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Guys gixxer launched with rear disc, fuel injection, two more color option for both gixxer and gixxer sf.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Did they test the bike for mileage? (the 100ml can test)

Really, dude?
