    Its a maintanace free bike, but for pillion seat comfort you should definetly rethink, better do a test drive as its seat is a bit high for ladies and might cause discomfort during long drives ..take a test drive with your mom or just ask her to sit and see how she feels.

      Hmm I think she may be uncomfortable but it's ok since mostly I will be riding alone.

        Can it be driven all day long for long touring at 80-90 kmph speed, off course with usual breaks every 2 hrs?
        And what milage can be expected during such rides on highway?

          • Better lights for Gixxer

            I have been riding a Suzuki Gixxer since last 3 months and I do quite a lot of night rides. Though I'm happy with the bike's performance, the headlight intensity is really terrible during night rides on highways. I recently changed the stock bulb to a 55/60w bulb by Phoenix. It's better than the stock one but still not enough for highway rides. Guys please help me how can I have more light. As a side note I would like to mention that recently I rode a RE Classic 350 during night and the headlight performance was really good. It uses the same 55/60w bulb that I have on my bike but has better intensity and throw than my bike's.

              There is no problem with this bike, you can go ahead and by Gixxer. But do test ride and check it as per your requirement, milege is little concern on this only

                Yes, you can ride the bike at the speeds mentioned. It's very comfortable at those speeds with just minor vibrations on the footpeg. It can hold 85 km/h whole day long. Even more than that. I cruised at 85-95 km/h for around 650 kms, and it returned 41 km/l.
                Ride safe,

                  I have done 850km on my Gixxer and done with first servicing. But I am noticing strange whistling sound in 3rd gear when I release the accelerator and when the speed drops from 40-30. Performance wise no issue. This sound irritating a bit. Usually we will see this kind of exhaust sound always in standard Pulsars. Does Anyone having same issue?
                  Anybody Guys?

                    If your talking about a harsh thrashing sound it depends on different tuning of bike which kicks in on a certain rpm band
                    My bikes sound sounds harsh at 4500-5500
                    Beyond that its sounds good again

                      Mine is 4500-3500. Soon after releasing the accelerator. Is there anyway to prevent that harsh thrashing sound?

                        Hi

                        I did my first service a few days back. For quite a few days, even before the servicing..i feel the engine makes some noise while around 4.5k rpm..like a 110 cc bike would make when driven in 70-80 kmph speed. Is that sound normal..or should there be no sound in engine and it is expected to be smooth and silent???

                          To be honest now i don't even feel it as my ears accustomed to it after 15 months
                          No i havent done anything for it

                            Give it time
                            Its in her run in periods
                            It will settle down
                            Yes it does makes a bit more growl compared to others but feel the vibes not the sound
                            The vibes will give away if you are pushing the bike
                            If there is no vibes on the tank or footpegs then rest assured

                              Okay, may i know some more information about that harsh thrashing?. Like why it usually would be coming like that and what exactly happening in the engine to produce such kind of sound?
