Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Blown fuse or water inside the connectors. This is a problem in the GS as well. If fuses are okay, remove the connectors and spray WD40 or Zorrick. Next time while pressure washing vehicle, avoid spraying water on carb, switches, connectors, ign key, and tank lid.

Re: Battery drained

FI bikes have ECUs which need power from the battery to start up the engine...!!! So no luck there my friend...

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

thnx buddy,any other alternatives to w40 ? and i could not find the connecters of these lights

Re: Battery drained

oh snap forgot you have teh FI variant. Gota tow it then!

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Get Zorrik 88/WD-40 from nearby hardware store or get Electrical contacts cleaner from an electronics store. A deodorant with good alcohol content might be an alternative but I won't recommend it .

A connector should be present for - rear brake pedal stop light switch, headlight and brake/tail LED. These "connectors" link the main wiring harness to the baby parts. One can usually find them by tracing the wires coming out of a component.

If it is complex for you, take it to SVC. Am sure this is a known problem.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

@MotoBlizzard Nighteye bulbs has been rebranded to Novsight now. I replaced my HS1 with below product and results are satisfactory. The set comes with 2 bulbs so if its expensive then buy it with your friend to divide the cost.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Dust cover?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Does the Nighteye/Novsight H4 LED bulb link you provided have dust cover?

I have seen the product reviews and youtube videos and decided to go for it. Just need to know how it plays with dust and water. I'm badly in need of this bulb for night driving [emoji29]

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Oh dear SVC & their prices!. It's a mafia out there. They don't show you the real pricelist and quote prices on the top of their head. I faced a lot of problems like these.

Fun fact, a lot of the parts used on our bikes like headlight reflector, horn, tyres, switches, etc are manufactured by different companies and assembled by the bike manufacturer (Suzuki) in this case.

I needed a new headlight assembly for retrofitting and went to SVC. They quoted a freaking ₹1500!. Then I got it at a scrap market for ₹400. After some digging I found the OEM that makes the Gixxer headlights their price was around ₹500-600. I spent 3hrs + fuel + travelling in traffic & pollution to get a scrap headlight for saving just ₹100-200 upfront, I lost more energy, time and money in the end.

The same goes for car headlights. Most halogen reflector headlights from the OEM cost ₹800-1200.

Showrooms are absolute lootmarts. Showrooms and SVCs seem to have alarmingly low accountability. Something needs to be done.

If brake pads are outsourced like headlights, try to find the OEM, you'll probably get them at half the price.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Haven't tried. But if you do try, pls report back here. It would be very helpful.

Thanks.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I'd really go ahead and change that damn AHO BS!. I just hate it. I think it's possible to get switchgear with a 3 position headlight switch. Or I'd atleast try and get some activa 3g or other scooter 3 position switch and jugaad it on there. As long as you don't cut wires, it shouldn't affect your warranty right?.

If u still want to keep that shitty AHO, I'd say tread the LED headlight field VERY VERY CAREFULLY! The last thing you want to be is an always ON blinding glare rider.

For starters stay away from all the RTD M3-M6 ones, they hate Gixxer!. Nighteye is generally a good brand but I am very skeptical about the ones on banggood. I'd love to do a photometric testing of them if I can get my hands on them ofc.

Generally speaking Phillips ulitinion are the perfect PNP LED headlights. But don't trust the chinese clones of similar design. The Chinese just can't help but screw up with the thickness and placement of LEDs.

If you do get them pls post back wall shots & road shots of both high & low beams and comparison shots with the halogen. Also make sure to keep the camera settings at manual and ensure it's as close to realistic as possibe.

P.S:
1. AHO sucks, they should have gone with an always on DRL & parking light.
2. Gixxer has a really poor reflector. I don't know how close they are to the H4 spec, but the low beam is more intense than the high beam.
3. Phillips should have put the LB in 50% powermode on their ulitinion H4 LED.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I'm getting the Nighteye H4 LED from Ali Express and I'm planning to place a switch for the AHO after 10,000 kms because I'm not going to service my bike in SVCs after the free services are done and warranty will avoid that way[emoji48]

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

It is possible to use dust cover on most PNP LEDs with fans. But as motoroid said on motorcycle those fans are going to suffer.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Honestly I wouldn't give him that advice unless he has a really good rapport with the SVC mechanics or he is really lucky to get a good SVC or he can easily catch if they try to scam.

As a rule of thumb, I always recommend post your problems here first, get some ideas & approach the SVC to with caution. Build a rapport or find a good mechanic later.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Well for starters, the problem seems to be with the switches or connectors (95%). Certainly a short created by water seepage. Don't use the lights that are not working, let them dry out, look for any burns or anything, and they should work. Gixxer seems to have only 1 fuse and since the self start works the fuse is fine.

What's probably happening is that the water seepage is causing voltage drops and not enough voltage is being delivered to the lights.

I always used to have this problem with my indicator buzzer. Give it a few hrs & it used to work fine.
