    Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

    Hi guys, I have been riding my Gixxer for two weeks now. I see a problem and i need your help on this. During the gearshifts mostly for first and second, i feel engine lags down a bit, sometimes drags badly (like the last moment when fuels runs out) and then picks up better when i give much higher throttle than what is required during gear shifts.. Can i know why is that happening?

      Hi
      I'm using TVS star city 110ES. Due to poor suspension & riding comfort I'm planning to change my bike. But I'm getting 60 kmpl.

      May I know why you asked about my present bike ?
      Just follow my shadow.

        If ride comfort and mileage is a priority, I would suggest you to get the newly launched Unicorn 160 or even the older Unicorn for that matter. Decent FE around 50 to 55(If driven less than 60) and very comfortable for long runs considering you are into sales and do 100+ kilometers everyday.

        Gixxer is more about style, fun to handle and a little lesser mileage.

          Was just checking if you own a 150cc already
          From the discussions seen so far on Gixxer's mileage, i think you can expect something around 45kmpl in Chennai city.

            Congrats to all the Gixxer owners in this thread. My first post here....

            Another Comparo :http://**********.in/suzuki-gixxer-y...arison-review/

            http://**********.in/comparo-unicorn...sar-apache-fz/

            This bike is probably the best in the segment right now and every comparo done by journalists just cements this fact!
            Good looks , good performance ,Awesome price , Nice features and reasonably good mileage too! Backed by Suzuki build quality and good service.

            In my Opinion this bike looks best in Blue!

              You should be able to extract 50 kmpl easily.
              If mileage is a major factor then see if you can convert your test-ride into a mileage-test-ride at SVC.

                Where is the speedometer sensor connected? Anybody observed this? Today I put the bike on center stand and started it in first gear to lubricate the chain and I saw the speedometer showing speed. I couldn't find any sensor attached to the rear wheel either.
                Also I observed a speed difference of +6kmph with my phone(moto g with glonass and gps).

                  Sensor should be on the front sprocket.

                  Do not lube with engine-on, you're inviting unwanted trouble.

                  Explain the speed difference in detail. Which apk was used?

                    Its new to me. I've never seen vehicles with this type of setting.

                    Do not lube with engine-on, you're inviting unwanted trouble.
                    I know; thanks for the caution. But it is the quickest and easiest way to lube. I've been following this method on my Unicorn which has fully covered chain guard. I just have to be relaxed, focused and extra cautious with Gixxer.
                    Explain the speed difference in detail. Which apk was used?
                    Speedview is the apk. The vehicle is showing an extra constant 6kmph difference at speeds varying from 0(not exactly 0) to 95kmph. I didn't go beyond 95kmph. so if we are travelling at 96kmph the actual GPS speed is 90kmph. but the difference is constant unlike the case in pulsar 200ns where the difference increases with speed.

                      Nice, that's a good news isn't it?

                      Many errors are in play here
                      - apk estimation error

                      - rear-tyre errors/losses

                        I mentioned about this on my first post here(about 20-30 pages back). But noone paid attention
                        I managed to get a speedo reading of 137kmph like that!
                        I too found that out while lubricating, toast to that! :thumbup:

                        If its in the front sprocket it must be a hell of task just to change the speedo-cable in-case it get damaged.

                          Click a picture of that 137kmph and tell everyone our Gixxer achieved that speed.

                          what is the good news? constant error? yes it is.

                          - apk estimation error - There won't be any apk estimation error I believe. It just reads the data from GPS sensor hardware. Moto G's location services works really good because of its GPS and additional GLONASS.
                          - speedometer estimation error
                          - rear-tyre errors/losses
                          If the sensor is not connected to any wheel, what happens with the speed reading when we change the tyre to a different profile?

                            You both have a bad habit of lubing chain with bike in gear.
                            To put in contrast, I rotate the rear wheel with bike in neutral. It gives me 10-20 rotations enough to lube with an oil-pump.

                            It just sits on the sprocket, you can easily lift it up & replace front-sprocket.

                            I'm assuming, it's similar to the one that we've on GS150R. If someone has right-tools to open front-sprocket cover, you can take a photo of speedo-sensor share it here.

                            Bingo, error in speedo reading of course .
                            Same with the erstwhile speedo-cable based reading. Tyre-profile change is not reflected in speedo-reading. Even tyre-wear is not accounted for.

                              +1 to what sparkot said, lubing chain with engine running is not at all safe in open chain setup. I've read about an unfortunate incident in another forum, which happened when lubing chain of bullet.

                                Completely agree about the hazards of lubing chain with engine running, but when you have that long extender sort of thing which fits onto the nozzle of the chain lube bottle/can then I don't think it will be very unsafe as a minimum of 8-10cm distance is always maintained between your hand and chain. Whether its cleaning or lubricating my hands are always at a distance of 10cm from the chain.
                                Comparatively riskier, but at the same time its easier.
