    Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

    You can take this bike to ladakh easily. No problem. Other bikes you mentioned can also be taken to ladakh, Avenger being a bit more comfortable and laid back.

    Yes, don't compare, just keep riding. Nobody actually cares.

    I bought my naked gixxer for 87 k on road chennai in 2015. How is this possible? Do you mean 97k?

    Srinath,

    i bought my bike at 87k, mine is Gixxer SF not the naked/nude one . Dealer is avanish suzuki, Vijayanagar, Bengaluru.
    I got the bs3 model and also bargained heavily. Hence, got it at 87k and not at 97k or 107k or whatever

    PS:Avenger is a horrid bike to take to leh , becoz of huge turning radius and shockingly bad suspension. Other than the upright stance, it is a pretty useless bike imo

There is a valve which controls fuel flow to the carb namely float valve which may be stuck and need cleaning or replacement. Thats it! This usually happens due to gummy or old fuel.
      Got a call from service station stating the same problem. The carburetor and fuel tank are to be cleaned. I park my bike out with a bike cover, yet there seem to be rusting inside the tank and the the service manager addressed the gummy thing as rusty sediments that had blocked the inlet to engine, from the carburetor.

      Oh you're one of those lucky folks who purchased it during the bs3 to bs4 transition. Good to hear.

      Regarding avenger. It's a mater of getting used to and personal comfort. You will take it anywhere if you get accustomed to it.

      Have fun and stay safe.

        I am ok living with not having slightly higher fuel efficiency and crispier throttle response that FI offers.

        Can u share how will a FI behave on hi altitudes like leh, munnar etc? Surely, u cant change the AFR mixture on an FI
        Based on the data from sensors, the ECU judges, whether or not the existing AFR is good, and adjusts the fuel flow rate accordingly so as to not let the engine performance deteriorate. That's what the job of EFI is, determining how much fuel should be injected for a given amount of air at the current load on the engine and the performance expected (based on the input from right wrist and rpm of the engine). The better the ECU mapping, the better the adjustmemt would be or the better it will meet the requirement of rider at that instantaneous moment.

        Open loop FI is a different thing altogether. It doesn't really take a feedback from the output and hence doesn't try to correct it more in case the output is insufficient/improper, example RE 500 engines.
        They suffer much more compared to closed loop FI systems at higher altitudes.

        Correct me if I'm wrong.

          Fi bikes are more reliable than carb. There's a reason why the world moved on to fi. The only reason to have carb would be the lower cost.
          Suzuki, Yamaha and Honda know to build machines properly.
          And yes, carb bikes lose as much as 50% of their total power output at high attitudes when the air gets thinner. Fi optimizes the air fuel ratio dynamically by taking signals from the o2 sensor.

Adjust the cable to a point where the wheel rotates only when you release the clutch. I noticed this problem in all gixxers when I took delivery. This is the reason for hard gearshifts as well. It will eat away the gearbox over a period of time.

                    Then your clutch setting is fine. Try to place the gear lever further down. This will ensure you don't miss any shifts

                        Carburetor and air filter cleaned and fixed. Bike works perfectly. Found grains of metal inside the carburetor which blocked the fuel flow.

                        100 rupees including labor + co2 testing + consumables. I was given an option to remove fuel tank and clean it. But I didn't go for it.

                        Weird case, I almost lost 2 litres of fuel during this period. Glad it is fixed now. Phew.

                          sorry for going offtopic here , i own an avenger 220 and i even sometime face hard gear shift(sometimes its smooth) .it was butter smooth till first service , then they did some settings which from then never came back to original smoothness. i checked with ur suggestion , even its different bike though.but facing same problem , i put the bike in gear and did not release clutch still back wheel rotating .is it same issue?

                          i posted this avenger thread too.but wanted to know. dont know its right place to ask.sorry

                          thanks

                              Guys I'd like feedback from your side on the bike and the service centers, I've come across many complaints on incompetency in the suzuki svcs ,I have contact with top suzuki people and can give suggestions, also any other product suggestions or anything is welcomed!

                                The product is good[emoji12].

                                Only things I would wish to be improved-
                                1. The front mudguard is too short and throws mud and water into the engine and my pants. It would be nice if there was an extension like the ones on the KTMs.
                                2. Seats need better padding.
                                3. The clutch free play setting is wrong is from the factory itself. The SVCs don't correct this during service. As a result, many complain of hard gearshifts as there is no free play in the clutch lever at all.
                                4. A bigger pillion seat.

                                About the SVCs-
                                1. The one I go to (Aryan Suzuki, Domlur - Bengaluru) do basic jobs well. Anything more, and they won't do it, like if we complain about excessive noise from the tappets.
                                2. They are more than happy to lean out the AFR (carb setting) if we complain about mileage.
                                3. Delivery experience wasn't good.
                                4. Very few service centres, and they're quite far apart.
                                5. They sometimes screw up the bike. Eg. not pouring fresh oil after draining old oil, not tightening the drain bolt, etc.
