    Thanks bro. Mostly I will be a proud owner of gixxer by next month. Lets see.

      Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

      Guys after getting the bike serviced(5th service), the pickup after 80KMPH has become sluggish. It's like when i open the throttle gradually, the engine accelerates in pulses rather than in a linear manner. Also , engine is too rough that I cannot go past 100 KMPH. Before I used to clock 115 easily. I have not kept anything near the air filter. I'm using Motul 7100 10W40 oil. What could be the reason? Have the mechanics screwed up with the AFR setting? Please help

        Trust me, disc brake won't make much difference. The brakes on this bike is sufficient. If you want to have fun, you can lock the rear drum and drift. And have I mentioned? I have accidentally experienced stoppies too. Of course other bikes might have better brakes but this set up is actually enough for day-to-day usage. It's okay to be old school and it's safe too.

        Once you learn to ride better, your skills will help you stop the bike in no time. You won't think much about the brakes or the discs or the drums.

          This can happen if the AFR is too lean. Also check if the Air filter needs cleaning.

            I'm too waiting for a new rear disc version of Gixxer. I've mailed to Suzuki a fortnight back but didn't receive any response from them for the availability.

              Thanks ... Can a trusted local mechanic modify the AFR setting? Is it common for all carb bikes?

                It's not common for all carbs. Any local mechanic who has good experience should be able to tune it. I can only see the fuel screw on Gixxer's carb.

                According to my experience (Turning clockwise=Leaner [Idle RPM will decrease] & Anticlockwise=Richer [Idle RPM will increase]) also check the colour of the spark plug (Note: the ceramic SHOULD NOT be as white as shown here in the pic). However if you are not sure, i will advise you to take it to SVC so that they can't blame you later that you ruined something.

                  Turning of AFR/ fuel/air screw will have lil effect of idle change. I think you are confusing work of fuel screw to idle screw.

                  Fuel screw governs how much fuel is mixing with air , ideally if you change this during HOT idle, you can notice some idle change but it requires loads of experience to detect fall in idle speed by ears.

                  Idle screw's work is to increase or decrease idle , this is irrespective of AFR setting. This is just governed by rotation of screw , keep it at 14-1300 rpm when hot and it will drop to 1200 when cold.

                    You are spot on! But i was not talking about the idle screw at all. When tuning carbs, it is recommended not to touch the idle screw (That's on the right side- kick lever side). That's where the experience comes in. You will definitely notice the slight RPM increase/decrease while rotating the fuel screw itself (It comes at a point where you will see that even 1/2 or 3/4 rotation is not making any difference to the RPM & make sure there should not be any stutter when opening the throttle - The sweet spot-Done) When the tuning is complete, you can set your idle as mentioned above while headlights are ON position.

                    Rusted guys please provide your inputs to help us understand better.

                        Raised the handle bars of gixxer 155 to improve riding position. Cost me around rs 800 to make it.

                        Though, riding is still not very much long ride friendly (atleast better than before). My back and shoulders start paining after an hour or so of riding. Please suggest what can be done further.

                          What's your height? Do you generally sit with a hunched back?
                          Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

                            Average indian. 5'9 I guess. Yes I hunch a little while riding. Not that I have to, but it happens almost automatically.

                              Make a habit of sitting with a straight back and bent elbows while riding and not the other way round.

                                check the stiffness of rear suspension.
