    Is anyone facing any rusting issue on the metal part below the tank that connects to the frame? Mine is a 2017 June model and I never noticed this until today. Click image for larger version

    I took the bike to 9 Star Suzuki, Bangalore, and they had no clue as to why this happened. They have asked me to bring the bike again tomorrow along with my manual since they needed some warranty details from that. They said that they would take a picture of this and send it to Suzuki Motorcycles India asking them if this some material defect and what the next course of action should be.
    Surprisingly, I haven't seen this kind of rusting on any other part of the bike.
    May the wind be always at your back

      Hi all,

      Purchased a new Gixxer 155 some months back and although very happy with it I did notice that the engine/transmission appeared rather noisy to me. Now that the bike is well run in this clattering metalic noise persists and with higher RPM it distracts from the riding pleasure. I am told by Suzuki service that this "noise" is normal but I just can't believe that Suzuki would produce a noisy bike like this. Even with a fully closed helmet on over about 4000 RPM this "racket" drowns out normal engine noise. I have noticed that on two occassions after climbing a rather long winding hill in forth gear the noise disappears for a short time and one can just hear the hum of the motor and the exhaust.

      Would appreciate any input from other owners.

        What should be the clutch free play for old gixxer. Gear shifts are very hard in my case..

          2 to 4 cm from the end of your lever. Also please check your chain slackness and lubricate your chain. Most of the times Mis aligned chain makes Hard and clunky gear shifts

              Guys Could anyone help me out. I'm attaching pictures for reference. Please check if Tyre replacement is required. I noticed these yesterday, my tyre pressure was too low around 10. I ask the guy to check for any Punctures but he couldn't find any. Also there is some squeaking sound from the rear tyre when riding ~ 15kmph. What could be the problem? Also I've ridden just ~ 9000kms in around 2.5 years of ownership. Thanks in advance.Click image for larger version

                The above images are not very clear but in general side wall damage of the tyre is dangerous other than that it is ok if it is jus 9k kms old.Check if any bubbles or cracks in side wall.

                    Is anyone using handlebar risers?

                      Hi everyone, I have a problem. Whatever the engine oil I use, thwy last only upto 2000 kms. Mineral, SS, FS (Motul mineral, Shell Advance AX7, Shell Advance Ultra, Motul 7100 10w40, Motul 7100 10w50). No white smoke or leakage spotted anywhere. I have already used anabond gasket maker to seal some leakage spots at stator cable-crankcase and head gasket area. What could be the problem?

                        What was the exact issue. Is the level of engine oil gets reduced ?

                          Yes.. After 2000 kms, the oil level goes below L level

                            Can you just put ome of your fingers into the exhaust pipe, when it's cold and see if there is a lot of carbon deposit? Some amount of carbon is seen in most of the bikes, but if it is clogged too much, it can be because the oil is burning inside engine.

                              I think the oil is burning inside. I have seen these kind of issues in Suzuki vehicles. My uncle have a gs150r with exact same issue. The bike have 13k odo reading. The issue must be with the piston rings.

                              To verify it, give full throttle and hold in neutral gear. Check for any smoke from exhaust.

                                Great idea.
