    As far as my training school is concerned, I have an A2 license. Thats all you need to know. If you want a recommendation for a training school, come to Hyderabad and attend the weekend sessions by Motovation or RACE'ists. They will help you learn the basics of riding in a controlled and safe environment.

    And No theres no such thing as dual disc. The front wheel will always have a disc brake unless ofc you are talking about a bike such as Suzuki Hayate or Bajaj Platina or Bajaj CT100 which you are not, isnt it? I thought you were looking to purchase a Suzuki Gixxer, correct?

    Your irrelevant and uneducated response showed how ignorant you are, buts its Ok I can understand the accident must have left a deep impact within you. But feel free to take my advice on learning the basics of motorcycle riding. Even watching Youtube videos will be very helpful.

    Also my best suggestion would definitely be to Opt for the Gixxer SF ABS version. However its single channel applied to the front brake, but thats what you need since in most situations you would be using Front brakes rather than the rear brakes.

    As per your suggestion, I will definitely try my best giving my Advices to Grade 5 kids and above. I would say Grade 5 is around the nice and tender age for children to learn about Road Traffic Accidents and how they can take steps to prevent them both as a Pedestrian and as a Motorist.

    Wish you all the best.
    My query was regarding disc vs drum variant and other members chose to concentrate on that part.
    You on the other hand decided to take a very different road which usually does not end well.

    You clearly dont know what kind of a rider I am but still chose to comment on my riding proficiency.
    I did not describe any detail about the accident, yet you imagined a lot of things in your tiny head.
    Accidents can happen to anyone.I survived with only three scratches but yes it was my lack of concentration.

    And come on man be practical,unless one is a professional rider no one is gonna travel to hyderabad from the north to take a motorcycle lesson.

    Maybe you should take a lesson or two on how to behave on public forums.

    And man you are completely ignorant.Your continued persistence about "dual disc brakes" is hillarious.
    Larger capacity bikes have 2 discs at front also.So yes, "dual" or "twin" disc is a real term.
    Get some education bro.

      And come on man be practical,unless one is a professional rider no one is gonna travel to hyderabad from the north to take a motorcycle lesson. Asks for a training school, yet complains its too far.

      Maybe you should take a lesson or two on how to behave on public forums. Pot calling the kettle black

      And man you are completely ignorant.Your continued persistence about "dual disc brakes" is hillarious. This is certainly hilarious

      Get some education bro. Medico(ER Doc) with an A2 license? I would say I have a pretty good education
      Bottom line is, dont blame the bike if the rider is incompetent. Simple. Earlier you said Xbhp is a place for helping fellow bikers right? Well I am helping you. More important than drum vs disc, you need to learn about proper braking techniques.

      Given your original statement, any proper rider will conclude that you used rear brakes for Emergency braking which caused a lock up and fishtailing leading to your accident. The fact that you asked about Drum vs Disc further confirms it.

      Drum brakes are history, they are getting phased out. Your best option now is to learn to brake properly. Practice makes perfect.

      Once again, my suggestion, go for the Gixxer SF ABS, best bike you can get in the segment. There is absolutely no need of 2nd thoughts. You can definitely look into the RTR200 if you want but based on my experience with it, I would stick with Gixxer.

      P.S: I deal with RTA cases on a daily basis. I have gotten a fair share of people with accidental cases such as yours. You dont have to tell me what happened, its easy to figure out. Today is my off-day and I am really not in the mood to argue with someone who doesnt want to learn. This will be my last reply to you.

      All the best for your new Bike purchase. Make sure you carry a printout of the PDI checklist when you go for the delivery of your bike.
      Take care, ride safe

        I wish you hadn't replied to me in the first place.
        Kudos man on your effort to type such huge off-topic replies.If all your replies are like this only then I am sure you are benefitting no one.

        Some other guys also replied to my query.Learn from them if you can.

        Dont tell about your a2 licence & medico education because maybe mine is better than yours.Besides that is off-the-topic just like your replies.

          Spidey, if you are locking up your brakes, or are weary of using discs at the rear, chances are that you do not know how to brake effectively. There is no shame in that. We all learn and continue to learn. Getting to a riding school isn't always possible. But read, learn and practice. It will go a long way in making you a more proficient and safe rider.

            I sincerely apologize if I came out too harshly but like I said before, I dont sugarcoat things. And comparing me to those Airline guys? Comeon!

              Yeah sure man.But my query was never regarding my accident.I just cant tolerate that behaviour from some random guy pretending to be a pro online.

              Bro where the accident took place,there was loose gravel and sand all over and only a few could have avoided a fall in emergency braking.I agree experienced riders could have greatly reduced the impact.That was my first accident(a minor one)and i have learnt my lesson.

                + 10000000 for indigo airlines.
                Sorry for this post but couldn’t hold when indigo airlines in picture.

                Bikes with dual channel abs will not lock any wheel and provide effective breaking when needed. However if you have the habit of holding rear brake while riding, you might burn out rear disk and pads much sooner without knowing because of abs too.
                It’s applicable to all 2 wheelers. All brands.

                  I rarely use my rear brake in normal riding.But the situation was such that I had to use both the brakes otherwise I could have also hurt the guy who actually caused this accident.If there was no gravel I would have been safe.

                  That moto guy has assumed a lot of things.Dont go by his replies.

                  Little did I know that my disc vs drum query will take this turn.

                    Hey bikers,
                    I have had a bad bike service experience at RDB Suzuki Khanpur, New Delhi.
                    Please recommend a good service center for my Gixxer in Delhi NCR.

                      Finally a relevant post.

                      Can you please explain the reason for dissatisfaction? I have been long associated with Dwarka Suzuki. They are not great but if you push them, the work gets done.

                        My friend bought gixxer bike last year Feb needs suggestion for engine oil, he was using semi synthetic oil from SVC till now. His bike is on due for oil change. He has rode only 9000+ kms till now and his daily riding will be only 10-18 kms. I have suggested motul 5100 based on his kms and daily riding. Is this fine? or is there any other recommendation.

                          Recommended grade is 10w40. For city riding this should suffice. You can also opt for 10w50 for better heat management during long rides/touring. Drain period would be 6-7k.

                          Brands are personal chocie.

                            Your suggestion might cause him to void his warranty. I would advice your friend to stick with whats recommended and what the SVC is providing.

                            5100 comes in 2 grades, 10w30 and 15w50 none of which are recommended grades.

                            Another viable option is the ECSTAR R9000, which is going to launch in my city Today. Its a 10w40 FS oil developed by Suzuki In-house. If its available in your friend's city. then he can use it.

                              Hi Mustaq,

                              I am currently using the Motul 7100 and it is performing well in both city and highway riding conditions. However this is a fully synthetic oil. If your friend wants to go for a semi synthetic one you can opt for the Shell Advance AX7. I have used this one in the past and it is better than the semi synthetic oils that the SVC's provide. Just ensure that the grade is 10w40.

                              Hope this helps

                                So this is basically going to be a PSA (Public Service Announcement):

                                Got my 6th Service done today. We currently have a MegaCamp by Suzuki for 11th and 12th. All services are free except consumable including Engine Oil.

                                Coming to ENgine oil. ECSTAR R9000 Fully Synthetic oil has officially been Launched in Hyderabad for an MSRP of 599. Naturally I got it filled up!
                                Since its Suzuki's in-house oil, its recommended for the Gixxer. Pics Below.

                                Rode for about 50kms, not a massive difference compared to the previous SS Idemitsu oil but the Gear shifts have become slightly smoother. Still its too early to say anything. Will ride more and see how it performs.

                                Oil change interval is 6-7000kms as confirmed by a Japanese representative from Suzuki.

                                Another PSA:

                                ALso got Nitrogen filled in my tyres from a Machine that is specifically designed for this. Below are images of the machine. Unless you are filling Nitrogen from a similar looking machine, then chances are you are not getting nitrogen filled in your tyres.

                                OLDER REFERENCES TO ECSTAR LAUNCH: I mentioned about this back in August

                                https://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcycle-ownership-experiences/31761-suzuki-gixxer-sf-ownership-thread-26.html#post1309074

                                I was told they are planning on bringing the Semisynthetic and Mineral oil versions of ECSTAR as well and phase out existing Idemitsu and Motul oils.
