Hi gixxer owners, Has anybody tried changing the default instrument orange backlit color to something else? Can someone say how easy and safe to change the backlit light color?

Check DIY thread. It's in there.

Direct link of the post will be much appreciated. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm not aware of it being done on a gixxer yet.

Here is the mod done on a pulsar 200 ns - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/do-yours...sar-200ns.html

Got a chance to ride Rahul N's Gixxer for 140 Kms in mixed conditions like freeways, urban traffic and with a pillion.

Awesome handling & pickup. Best ever handling in the 150CC category.

All the enjoyment comes to an end with a pillion on board. Handlings take a toll.

Seat quality seems to be very poor and also pillion seat is poorly designed.

Any implementations done by Gixxer users for replacement of seat/foam ?

Hello Bikers,

Can anyone suggest me a respite from the front wheel mud splash? The mud guard on the front wheel hardly does anything it is meant for.

For example : Anyone tried a mudguard (With long lower reach) form other bike manufacturers fitting a naked Gixxer?

Note : Even though effective, i dislike to hang a cheap rubber sheet with my leg guards, looks like a disgrace to the bike's style.

I got a call from Bharat Suzuki in Pune asking me to come for my 3rd service, and a free bike wash and chain lube.
When I gave my bike to the mechanic he told me that I didn't need to change the oil as I'd only done about 2200kms so far. But the bike was feeling a bit gruff and the engine was getting noticeably warm, so I asked him to change it anyway. I also asked him to make the suspension firmer, and told him about the hard gear changes.

I spoke to the workshop owner who was asking for customers feedback regarding the bike so that he could report back to Suzuki. He told me that the rear disc brake variants would be launched soon.

He also told me that they're putting in a new oil from Idemetsu, who were sponsoring the chain lube camp, and told me that the bikes engine would be quieter after the change.

He was right, and the engine noise has changed, and feels fuller/richer at higher rpms, and a little quieter at lower rpms. The engine still feels a bit gruff, but less than before. But I feel the accelerations come down a bit.

The engine felt a bit warmer than usual when I rode it back from servicing, but the next time I took it out I don't recall feeling any engine heat, so that's an improvement.

Since the last 400-500 kms I've sometimes been feeling a very mild buzzing on the footpegs. It comes and goes and only happens at some rpms and then vanishes. Sometimes I think that it could just be my imagination. I thought the chain was loose + not cleaned/oiled some the last 1200kms and could be the problem. I got it adjusted, and oiled but I still felt the mild buzzes a couple of times since the servicing.

I got the suspension setting changed from 3 to 5. I think handling's improved, but the rides also a lot stiffer, and not as comfortable. I don't think the bike will bottom out any more, even with a pillion on board (not that it did that very often), and I think the difference between handling while going one up and two up won't be as much now.

Gear changes have become much easier, and smoother after the visit to the workshop.

The bikes doing great, and I like almost everything about it. The one thing that I think could be improved is it's performance at lower rpm's. It's not that the engine knocks, or that I feel the need to do frequent gear changes, it's just that after about 4500-5000 rpm the engine and bike seem to come to life, and below that it just seems to putter around. I wish it felt sporty while going slow too.

Hi Gixxer users,
After riding Hornet, Fazer, and 150AS, on Pune's Khadkwasla backwaters road (a mix of ghat road and straight urban road), I finally picked Gixxer - blue moto gp edition, as my next bike as I was impressed with its performance, pickup, and stability.

Booked it.
Bike is yet to be delivered.
I wanted to know about Suzuki Service Centers around east of Pune.

1) Has anyone serviced it at Bharat Suzuki, BT Kawade road (It is closest to my residence) ? If yes, How was your overall experience?
2) Any other Suzuki Service center you recommend in Pune? Preferably east pune like swargate/camp/market yard/solapur road/kondwa?

Hello Chats,
I read your above experience with suzuki svc.
I've sent you a PM regarding inquiry about service at svc.

Hello guys! I got my bike last saturday(19-03-2016) and am about 100 km on the odo. I've been facing an issue. Whenever I come to a halt with my bike on second gear(of course, with the clutch fully pulled in), my bike stalls. I don't know what causes this problem.

Ensure that idle RPM is around 1500 when engine is hot.
Also, check clutch free play and adjust it per specification in user manual.

Thinking of painting certain parts of the bike Lemon Yellow, as red/black and green/black is too common in glamour and stunner. Specially the grab rails and tank mid section

Rims like this, half painted
