      Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

      Hi all,

      I have been following the thread since some days but was not able to reply because my account under moderation. Thanks team xbhp for approving my account.

      After lots of research, i bought gixxer over fz s on 18th April. I have been using bike for my office commute which is 35 kms one side with around 15 kms of highway drive.

      Now i have some observations, I am not able to take my bike beyond 64kmph but till 64kmph, the bike is pretty smooth. I request expert ridders to give their feedback why is this happening.

      I shown bike to Service centrer and they could take bike till 85kmph. Bit I am not able to take beyond 65kmph. Is it any issue of my driving style? Or bike has any issue.

      Please post your views.

        I've a 2017 Gixxer and it's run around 4200 kms. Off late, the bike doesn't seem to start when parked under the hot sun for a while. When I try starting it, using the self starter, the engine doesn't respond at all. A couple of times I tried opening and closing the petrol tank lid and the bike started, could have been an airlock. But since the past 2 days, even that does not help. I have to use the choke and it starts sometimes. It never had this issue earlier.

        The bike has no problem at all in starting when parked in a shaded place, it is only when parked under the hot sun does it have this issue. Should be an air lock, but since opening and closing the fuel lid is not helping, what do I do next?

          I believe this has happened due to sun drying out your petrol inside the carb. That’s why opening your petrol tank cap assisting the petrol to flow inside the carb and allowing the ignition to work. I heard this in another gixxer and seems like this is a common issue i guess. I have the FI version so I don’t have a problem yet and i have never parked under direct sunlight yet.

              Is there no permanent fix to this? My next service is due in another 2 weeks and I am going to bring this up to the SA then, but if this is a common issue then this should be something that Suzuki should find a fix for.

                Today i myself bought a feeler guage and adjusted the valve to 0.04mm(in) and 0.12mm(ex) (when cold)which is the least number for this bike. Took a little help from my local mechanic. But i can still hear the tick tick annoying sound after riding a little for say 6-10km with speed fluctuating from 20-60km/hr in city.
                My mechanic suggested that is related to arm rocker, it may have been worn out a little which is causing the tick tick sound.
                So just want to know that will SMIPL warranty work out in this matter if i claim it ?
                Yup, as i have said in a previous post, i have adjusted the clearances and the tensioner myself, but no reduction in sound. All the SVCs say it's normal. Even a complaint on the Suzuki website didn't help, they said it's fine but changed the tensioner "just in case". I'm living with the sound as it's not audible when wearing my helmet.

                It does get really loud when the engine has been running above 70kmph+ constantly.

                  Hello All,
                  I see some tick tick issues here with gixxer.

                  I am planning for Gixxer 2018 with ABS, would you all suggest me to go ahead with Gixxer?

                    No, look into Yamaha or Honda or TVS Bikes. Gixxer might look and sound good initially but later on you will have troubles.

                      Let me elaborate.
                      I have test driven Hornet, Pulsar 160 ns, Apache 160 4v and Gixxer.

                      Hornet didn't had the suspensions I expected, though CBS was impressive, and now I can expect ABS here.

                      Pulsar had really good suspension, but I already owned a Pulsar earlier so thinking about it.

                      Apache 160 4v has race tuned suspension, giving it position below Hornet.

                      Gixxer with ABS seemed to the perfect balance.

                      My first priority is Comfort, Suspension.

                      I almost came down to conclusion of purchasing Gixxer, after ABS launches.

                      Now, everyone's suggestion is welcome.

                        Apache 160 4v has race tuned suspension, giving it position below Hornet. So? Do you know what "race tuned suspension" means? Nothing. Its adjustable.

                        My first priority is Comfort, Suspension. Gixxer isnt comfortable if thats what you are thinking. Also understand what a suspension does before making a decision.
                        My suggestion will be to go for 160 4V or 200 4V. Goodluck.

                          Hi, your suggestion is welcome.

                          I fully understand the role of suspension in comfort.
                          To race tune directly implies stiffening suspensions more.

                          Though I was/am expecting TVS to be more familiar with Indian roads than Honda or Suzuki.

                          Apache 160 lacks ABS, which is a very good safety option.

                          Though, I would ask everyone to help me by sharing your words on Gixxer please.

                            Ignore gixxer and take a look at the new r15 v3 it's a killer in 150 segment of bike's in India . Though keep it in mind to pay the premium price for it !!

                            Also Suzuki India isn't paying attention to the problem faced by the customers, they should learn the way how Yamaha handles the customers problems.

                              I agree with you mate. R15 V3.0 is a killer. worth the price for the features.

                                I own Gixxer SF FI ABS and if you are waiting for Gixxer ABS then better wait till April 2019 post which all vehicles above 125cc will come with ABS. Test ride the FZ as well it has better brakes than the Gixxer. It won't have the safety of ABS but the stopping distance will be lesser than Gixxer
