In this way one can change the entire color of bike. .. Every part can be substituted with other color I've enquired the showroom guy...no need of repainting. ..

Blipping the throttle is essential in both upshifts and downshifts. During upshift when you pull the clutch in to shift at peak rpm with the throttle pinned the bike experiences what is called a slingshot effect after which it immediately starts to slow down gradually. At this point if you don't blip the throttle the bike has no chance to match engine speed with gearbox momentum causing a jerk that most people think is an indication of power (but its not) it basically causes the gears to jerk causing unnecessary friction and damage to gear teeth. During downshifts the bike experiences the opposite where the engine rpm drops and without throttle blipping the gearbox speed is higher than engine rpm causing a reverse slingshot effect which puts too much pressure on the gear teeth causing them to grind against each other. Both up and downshifts must be butter smooth or the engine is being stressed.

Blipping the throttle is needed when you downshift, not when you upshift. Blipping is needed because the lower gears have a higher gear ratio and when you downshift, the piston speed has to increase to match the speed of the rear-wheel (you can verify this if you notice the tacho after you release the clutch). While upshifting, you move from a higher gear ratio to a lower gear ratio, and so when you release the clutch, the piston speed has to decrease to match the rear-wheel speed, so here you don't experience engine braking. Blipping the throttle briefly increases the piston speed before you start releasing the clutch. Since when upshifting, your piston doesn't need higher speed to match the wheel speed, blipping is not required. However you need to gradually accelerate as you release the clutch, since you need to make sure that the engine doesn't stall and you also get the required torque.

Now for radikel's question on does it matter if he/she keeps the throttle pinned. I think unless radikel skips the clutch operation when upshifting, it should not be an issue. Infact there are certain motorcycle blogs which state that you can avoid the clutch when upshifting to speed up gear-shifts. I tried this on my P200 (old gen.) but i started noticing that the gears sometimes tends to slip automatically by itself back to lower gear. So i stopped doing it.

There is a need for a throttle blip at both instances to keep the bike from jerking but only new riders need to do it and there are two kinds of bliping, one where you match gear speed with wheel and the other where your trying to avoid the sling shot effect. Anyway the explanation is quite big and not really worth both our time. And I answered based on my experience with this, yours can differ.
Besides which, where'd you dig up this old post anyway? This question has been answered so we should both move on.

That is what i thought, byt Balgi changed my opinion on this. Also it does seem logical that gear speed/engine speed need to be matched both ways. Have stopped pinning the throttle, and gradual acceleration with steady clutch release.

However....i just cant help but feel, that the showroom people have detuned/ worked on my carb. I feel like the bike can pull more, but something is stopping it, also, sometimes when gliding on 2nd gear, it suddenly starts kicking, that still hasnt gone. Will ask them to thoroughly check it during my first-service which ios coming up next week.

Is there play in the throttle? If so ask them to adjust it and I think the 2nd gear issue will be resolved.
Showroom does nothing to the carb (which is the actual issue if you ask me) but I think that feeling is because you're getting used to the bike.
But just in case its not have them check the chain slack, I know the manual says it should be 25-30mm but trust me 30mm with pillion is too loose. 25mm is more than enough buddy. If its too tight also it can cause this so check that. Some svc's do it on owners request to avoid chain slap but it causes the sprockets to wear out.

Hi Balgi,

Yes there is a bit of play in the throttle, but i ensure iam smooth with it, and dont do any sudden twisting.
Also, even if there is an issue with the carb, do you think the svc guys will actually admit it, let alone fix it, when all i have going is a feeling, and cant concretely say what the issue with carb is?

Will check the slack as well when i take it to them. But wont tightening it to 25 wear out the sprocket a bit faster than normal?

No it will not wear out the sprocket but if you're still worried then just tighten to 27mm which should hold well and give you mental peace.
Whether your throttling is smooth or rough doesn't matter a loose throttle can cause trouble and you can adjust the carb yourself or show it to an expert mech. Don't trust svc.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Got the delivery of the bike. After riding it for few meters found that the speedometer and odometer was not working. Although it showed rpm correctly. Was so overwhelmed about gixxer that I forgot to check the speedo. How silly of me. Went back to the dealer but the showroom was closed by that time. Upset. Can I fix it myself? I don't want to ride for so long to reach the dealer again for fixing it. Thanks. GIXXER!!

Check the speedo cable to see if its snapped but I doubt there's anything you can do to fix it. These digital speedos are a pain.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

And finally , Gixxer joins my journey of life. It is the first one in my life and man , Its really awesome !!! Just drove from Showroom to home and from home to Office till now. Nice Power , amazing style and great Music. One guy a t the temple thought that the price would be more than 1 Lakh

. I told him the actual price and he tested my bike. He ordered one immediately ..

I need to adjust with shifting the gears. And as no.of people pointed out , The Headlamp is little bit dim and horn is like the one we get in scooters.

Didn't have time to click pics. Will post them soon.

Thanks a lot everyone for your posts,reviews,and discussions. It really helped a lot.

Congrats man even iam about to buy gixxer on next month. Really impressed with its looks,vibe free engine & great refinement.
Do post some pics of your gixxy.

Firstly, congrats on the purchase.......
Secondly, what music? Did Suzuki give you a theme song to go with your bike, coz that would be so cool. :P
And honestly did you let a stranger test ride your bike coz that is just wrong man. Just sayin.
But again, congrats on your new bike and happy mile munching.......

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Any gixxer owners from hyderabad??

I want to know weather the suzuki service centers are good enough to maintain the gixxer problem free?.

Going to buy it on next month but worried because of the after sales service by suzuki is good enough or not. If the service is bad i will go for the yamaha 2.0 V.

But the gixxer stole my heart in all the aspects right from the styling to performance. But the service is equally important to enjoy the every bit of the riding.
