    You have bigger problems now that I got to see your Bill properly.

    Since you said your bike is the first version meaning its Carburetted with Drum brake at the rear:

    In the bill dated: 8-12-2018

    1. Why was Rear Brake Caliper Assembly OverHaul done? Your bike doesnt have a Rear Brake Caliper. Its a DRUM BRAKE.
    2. What was the "Drive Chain" job that costed 72INR? You were ALREADY charged for Chain Cleaning and Lubing.
    3. Why did they charge you for Clutch Lever Assembly? I suspect they did this just for replacing the Lever which is malpractice. So you got charged 126+37.71+Tax unnecessarily. The cost of the lever itself is just 38INR, they robbed you for an additional 126INR
    4. What was the Rear Brake shoe and/or spring Job that costed you 90INR? Cleaning the drum and the brake shoes are part of general service. Did you get something replaced?
    5. You have 3 "OTHER" jobs listed in there. 2 of them have the same code but different costs (DB9999 - 80INR and 100INR). The 3rd job with code LG9999 costs 250INR. What are these OTHER jobs? Did you verify?

    In the bill dated: 2-3-2019

    1. They once again charged you for Rear Brake Caliper Assembly, Drive Chain and "OTHER"
    2. Theres a Job done for Carb Assembly, I am assuming Carb Cleaning was done? Verify this for me
    3. What the Heck was done in the Clutch Overhaul(All Parts)? Was any part replaced because I dont see any Clutch parts mentioned in that bill?


    The guidelines are CLEAR for SVCs. They cannot replace or change any part in your bike without your authorization.
    I am definitely going to ask this tomorrow. I have also uodated the original post

      Just take a print out of my previous reply and slap that paper on that SVC Manager's face.

      I want to ask 1 more thing in addition to the questions I asked before.
      Theres a Front Brake Assembly overhaul done in the 2nd bill. I presume this was done to bleed and top up the brake fluid. Did you ask them to do this?

      Suzuki SVCs are authorized to ONLY use MOTUL Chain Cleaner and Lubricant. THIS is what they probably used

      Dude if I were you, I would have called the Cops and shut down that SVC and stuck an Iron Rod up that SVC Manager's Arse.

        Yea it looked a lot like the one in the picture. I use motul so I know how it looks and what he used is not motul at all.

        And I was planning on printing your list and write down is reply for sure. I am definitely gonna do it.

          For six months i had this kind of foam.
          Its very light, spongy, and looses its shape after 15 mins. Spent Rs. 400 for this solution

          Me and my friends ride with this spongy seat:-
          this sponge top costs 400? i need to find something like this in Chennai. The stock seat makes it hard to ride even 50kms without break ><

            does idle rpm effect the fuel efficiency of the bike?

              Yes. Higher the RPM, more will be the fuel consumed. You want to keep it between 1250 to 1500. It's hard to see the exact reading on a digital console in all. Using the choke in idle brings it to 3.5k RPM.

                Can anyone recommend me a good pair of tires for Suzuki gixxer 155 (2015 bought)? Currently, I am using the stock tire in the front, which has developed some scary looking cracks and in the rear I have Metzler 150/60 tires (though the recommended size is 140/60). It's time for me to change both. I am looking for tires with good wet and dry performance and good lifespan. Please suggest.
                Thanks!

                  Last service, they replace clutch handle and number plate which i never asked for. I was already frustrated with their service that i told them to remove them or refund me the amount. The manager(i am guessing), told me that refund is not possible since bill is generated and said he will reduce it in from the bill next time.

                  2 months later, on 2st March 2019, i am at the place for my next service. I told him before giving itself about refund. When i went to collect the bike in the evening, i didnt see any deductions and i asked him. He said he reduced the price for 'Rear brake caliper' and 'Clutch Overhaul'. I had my doubts but i couldnt do anything then.

                  URL since
                  photo is not clear: https://ibb.co/0j0MDbz

                  I came home. Checked my older bills and found that last service(the first attached image) also i was charged for 'Rear brake caliper assy' and it was the same price!!There was no change. I am not sure how much the 'overhaul' costs as i dont have any bill with that.

                  Can someone let me know if the price is as in the attached images?If so, i know i was not given any refund.

                  Also, these folks always messes up the chain every time i give it for service. It starts making this crackling sound the very next day onwards. My friend told me because the loose and tight end is not set properly. The sound is pretty loud and its sad to hear it while i drive bike around. I had to always give my bike a second time for last 3 services because of chain alone. I am wasting my time and energy on this. I want to go to their manager will whatever info i have and get this sorted out for good. I also wanted to mail suzuki head/support with this.

                  I have been maintaing my bike well for 2+ years. I always accept what the service folks says to ensure my bike runs smoothly as ever. Now i am just frustrated. Can you also guide me on how best to go about this? How can icomplaint so they take care of my bike next? How can i be sure service was done well since next time? Is there a checklist?

                  FYI-I had created a thread but i guess it is not approved. If it is, ill share the thread link here for future reference

                  Update 3/6/2019:
                  So i raised an enquiry request from site to Maya Suzuki branch, Adyar asking for price of few specific things. Mainly the overhaul. I got the price and as expected there was no deduction. Suprisingly, for one, the price i was asked to pay was more. See the details in the image below. On the right is the price i got for the part code

                  https://ibb.co/TKYPFzs


                  Part code - Price
                  MK03H0 -126
                  GA03R0 -216
                  DC01R0 -108
                  MK09H0-108

                  Update 2:
                  A service guy came to sort out the chain issue. When he came, the chain was dry. He thought I haven't tightened or lubed the chain for a long time and told me to do it every 1000kms. As expected, he was surprised when I told him I gave for service 3 days back only. I also told him I clean and lube every 300kms.


                  I confronted the manager over call on this. I asked him by they charged me 47₹ for chain lube when it was not done. He told me grease was applied and it dries up. I asked him why would you put something that dries up in two days and then mention in bill it is lube and charge so much.*


                  I asked him then why do the service guys state they use motul lube and that the mechanic used 3M. He was like we use 3M motul. They are two different companies!! !*


                  Really disheartening this entire episode has been.*

                  I bought tank cover from Athvith for 250 Rs, the ropes came off on the same day

                    Hi Guys!!

                    I brought in a gixxer 4 months back. Have done 2,500 kms so far. Got my second service done at Meghdoot Suzuki, hennur road, Bangalore last Saturday(9th Mar 2019). While the service of the engine looks ok, the brakes have not been as responsive as before. When i took it back to the service centre, they say its nothing to worry about, as the abs is cleaned with diesel and this could problem could be there for 30-40 kms. Is this ok?

                      Hi to all
                      I purchased a suzuki gixer sf motorbike that was damaged by its slide shields, and in order to fix it, I have to know the exact gender used in it, but I do not know what material in the slides of this motorcycle is used from the engineering plastic branch.

                      ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

                      I mean, what kind of materials from the plastic engineering branch have been used to make slides for this motorcycle?

                          Congrats for the new motorcycle. I also transitioned from Unicorn to Gixxer and I miss Unicorn very much esp after starting family. Do post a comparison after munching some miles.

                            Being a Unicorn owner, I can vouch for the amount of convenience and refinement it provides. Transitioning from Uni to Gixxer is difficult, especially if you're a family man. Nothing beats the long seat and the low & mid range smoothness that the reliable Honda Commuter provides over the Suzuki Street Fighter.

                              Hello everyone, I require some urgent help.my Gixxer was rear ended by a speeding Jupiter on the highway.my bike was standing still and the Jupiter was doing excess of 70kmph before he started braking/locking his wheels. By the grace of God, no injuries to his family and myself.but Gixxer took the brunt. His front wheel has hit my leg guard and his handle has hit mine.my handle is badly mis aligned now and I am getting pain in my wrist even I hold for 5 min. This incident happened near Hoskote, Bangalore. My neighbour hood mechanic confirmed that the fork has bent and handle bar has to changed.
                              Can someone suggest me a good mechanic/trustful to do the above job.i have lost faith in the authorised service centers as they do not hear a word I say and do the work as they wish.what would be approximate cost?? can I claim insurance for the above.i live in CV Raman nagar/kaggadasapura in Bangalore.
