    1. Is bolt bike charger a good idea? will it affect battery health or anything else in a real bad way? Smart Mobile Phone Charger for Bikes - The Bolt

    Thanks!
    It's the best... Comes with a 1 year warranty. Stay away from the China chargers, they come cheap but they will kill your phone's battery. It's water proof. Comes with a tank bag which keeps your phone dry even during the heaviest rains

      Why don't you take a ruler and measure the slack yourself. The range should be the one mentioned in the owner's manual. But a lose chain won't make a swish sound, I think. Are you sure its the chain? If so, let's wait for more experienced or other gixxer owners to pitch in. Till then check the slack and lube it.

        I think its the engine's induction noise at 65 to 70kmph (around 5k rpm) which sounds like grinding "gargargar". This is what I Have in my bike. It vanishes after 80KMPH.

          Know what, actually my GS too makes this " thrummmmmm" sound at 5k. The Suzukies ! But I actually don't find it irritating. Yes Shamanth, you are right. That's the reason he was not hearing it at gears lower than 4 because I don't think he would have revved it at 5k in those gears.

            Will the warranty be void if i fix it? What about the health of the bike's battery? I am looking for a mounted holder too. Any suggestions?

              It's a plug and play... Don't need to cut any wires... But it will charge your phone even when your bike is off

                Ashwanth & Samanth . thanx for sharing guys .but. I have changed into 4th gear at 40 km/hr. & also I never exceed 4500 rpm of engine. When I change into 4th gear at 40km/hr sound is coming. Its doesn't sound lyk engine noise. Its definitely coming from chain or from wheel .

                  Hi guys, I have done my 3rd free service. At that time the Service Center guy ask me for Oil Addictive & Engine Oil Flushing with oil change. I have done oil change with oil addictive & refuse to Engine Oil Flush. My bike is just 7 months old & odometer is at 4.5k. Is that necessary to add Oil Addictive & Engine Oil Flushing??

                        Seems many of them having drive chain noise issues in their gixxer & gixxer sf including me. I did cleaning, adjustments etc, but nothing works here. Finally i asked the well known local mechanic to reverse the engine sprocket. Now i'm able to hear a bit noise & vibration. He told that the quality of the chain & sprockets is not upto the mark. I heard that usually chain & chain sprockets will withstand upto 25-30 kms.

                        Planning to change the entire set of chain & sprockets in next service but not from svc. Need to search for a good brands like rolon, diamond.

                          I too am facing drive chain issues. The bike makes 'tak tak' sound when i drag it on foot. It is more audible when drive chain gets wet in rain or while washing. This does not change with even when the engine is running. Also after 4K RPM facing vibration issues (Posting a video). Cant hold speeds above 85 kmph due to severe vibrations. If the engine sprocket is of bad quality than why everyone is not facing the same issue. I guess the counter balance chain came off or something. Also the lazy SVC guys refuse to open the drive chain. If anyone has found a solution, please share.

                            To all the guys facing chain noise issue or vibes, clean the chain with diesel and blow dry it if possible, if not clean with a cloth preferably towel and for lubing use gear oil or fork oil, I haven't tried gear oil but fork oil works wonderfully.☺

                              Sam, my bike also makes 'tak tak' sound when I drag it on foot. I saw ur video but I'm not facing vibrations like that. I think vibrations u r getting is not because of only drive chain. If so clean and lube chain and check for that vibrations. If problem persists check with some good local mechanic, he ll listen ur problem. If he is also not able to solve ur problem put a mail in suzuki website.

                                A lose crash guard (the one that protects our legs) can also lead to vibration.
