Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

It's the other way around.. Pillion would be stressed...

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Exactly, gixxer 250 will a much better option, thanks to 6th gear and more performance [emoji106] [emoji108]

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I have been using Gixxer 155 for the past 2 years 3 months. You cannot do 100-110 on it all day long. The Engine will be stressed and one important thing that you have to consider is the Braking at that high speeds. Short Outbursts for quick overtake can be done on this 150cc bike but cruising on it all day is not at all recommended given the fact that number of surprises our roads throw at you. Agreed that RE is rough and vibey at high speeds but you will be more less tired on it because of comfortable upright sitting position and better seat. Though Gixxer is Japanese you will have buzz on the foot pegs and handle bars at higher rpms.I suggest you better look at Gixxer 250 and make a decision.
The Pillion comfort will not be there at all for long distance and the pillion seat will be even tiresome with the split seat and higher sitting position.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

It's been great! I am not sure what all things should I include.

Just got my second service done day before yesteday, 21st Jan 2020.

Odometer reading is at 3800.

Riding comfort is good for rider, pillion comfort is below average. Rode solo till Mumbai from Pune and didn't have to stop for any break. As for pillion, even commuting with Pune, pillion's ass can start burning!

I was worried about SVC quality and so far, it's been a great experience. Mine is willing to go above and beyond.

As for the bike itself, only problem I was facing was with downshift, it was very hard and false neutrals were frequent in traffic. Just been two days since second service, and it's all gone.

If you are looking for a bike in this segment and pricing, I found Gixxer better than NS160, Hornet, Unicorn, Apache 160, FZS V3. It's a perfect mix of commuter and sports for me. This is my opinion, a lot of people tell me that R15 or MT15 would have been better but that's not what I was looking for. I needed something which could give me good average and won't hesitate in munching miles on highways. Bike exceeds my expectations here, average I get in city and rare highway ride is 50 KMPL, top speed I got was 107 KMPH.

10/10 would recommend!

2. 2017 Gixxer SF FI user here. Have done 105-110 4-5 hours continuously.( I weigh 118 kgs and add some 5-10 kgs of luggage). Hitting the upper end of 118 was a little difficult. On downward slopes, did 123.
I am yet to do the all day long test. Will be doing it this April, May.

3. Go for gixxer 250, 155 will be stressed with pillion.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Questions for 2018 and 2019 owners:
1) Difference between both versions apart from the looks and LED headlight. I can watch a few YouTube videos but I want to know if the difference is really that apparent in real world riding experience.
2) Can it do 100-110 all day long on the highway? I know the engine would be stressed, but if I can do it on a rough and vibey RE, I think a Jap wouldn't mind much either.
3) Point no.2, with pillion

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Hello, how's the ownership experience so far?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Spray WD 40 followed by 3M rubbing compound and 3M liquid polish.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Hi guys, I got something like this on the left grab rail. It's like a left over glue after removing the sticker. I didn't use any sticker, may be because of sun light? How can I remove this without scratching the metal? Suggestions please.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Happens in mine too... Right now it's 30 minutes behind time[emoji23]

I'm looking for LED headlights too...

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Anyone else notice the annoying clock running slow? Like you set the time today at 12 PM. By tomorrow 12 PM your clock will only display 11.59 AM. Overtime the gap gets bigger and bigger and eventually you need to reset your clock from time to time to make sure the variation is not significant.

And any recommendations for LED headlights? I understand the existing bulb is rated for 12 A 35 W and need a bulb in that spec or lower. My budget is Rs.1000.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

2 days before i have changed the front sprocket and swing arm bush. After the work, in meter console the speed fluctuate too much. It's actually 4km difference. For example when i going in 55km/hr suddenly it will show 51km/hr.. then it shows 55km/hr. And this cycle continues throughout the ride. To fix this today i have cleaned sensor area inside the front sprocket box . But the issue not resolved. The front sprocket was the same 15t.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

My front wheel disc got jammed and when I showed it to a local mechanic he told me that it because of an alloy bent. He said it cannot be straightened up and asked to buy a new one. I inquired the price at Aditya Automobiles Coimbatore and they quoted 4k

I Googled online but couldn't find any relevant stores to purchase. Does anybody have any experience in replacing alloy wheels?
