To cover the light you could check on ebay for vinyl wraps and then get the number printed at a local sticker guy. The lights you can also get on ebay or aliexpress.com ... Aliexpress has a really long waiting period since the stuff flys in from south east asian countries.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Yahh !!!! You are well said. Suzuki is well known company in the world but its popularity is bit low in India. One of my mechanic friend said Suzuki bikes have very low resale value even though it is equipped with high lasting and problem free engine. I found a lot of sf adds in olx majority of bikes just completed the run in period only( new bikes which completed 1 or 2 services). I don't know why people are letting it go before its engine get set for proper mileage and power. I just responded to 2,3 adds and the owners are ready to give the bike for even 70 k.( which nearly completed 2k,within 5k kms)..........

To many idiots out there who don't break-in properly and rape the engine. Light engines like the ones in suzuki are very sensitive. I had done my first service at 300km( i learnt to ride bike on this bike :P) but it crossed 1300km today, so i did an oil change with motul fully synthetic 10w40. I know this because next service is 3500km and still 60days away!<i am mech engineer btw and i could hear the engine being a bit more noisy than usual, specially since i did a long 250km trip, driving 4 hrs straight!>

[QUOTE=Rapper Deepak Arya;1209729]Planning to Get colored my wheels,

OMG !!!!! White look stunning dude..... and the second one lime green also great. Don't go for for blue or red bro.....will ruin the bike.

About u r sticker work ...is it replaceable? Be carefull dude!!! might ruin the stock painting. Bigger stickers may do the job great making sf striking. Once you remove u r current small stickers go for some what bigger one since little ones looks bit messy......( small stickers are also good since sf is a motogp inspired bike LOL).

Keep sharing your future alterations.........
Stay blessed :-)

Yahh bro correct!!!! Run in period is the most stressful and carefull period of bike riding. Bro beware that :don't go for fully synthetic oil unless the engine completes its run in period.

How's is your long ride in sf? Is there any heating issue in engine (sf got no liquid cooling system :-( .. Wanna know since I'm a tourer...Only done 4,5 trips in my dads p180 and awaiting for sf fi for me to purchase soon :-)

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

I have one doubt guys,please enlighten me...
I have rode both glamour and fz,when using self start i dont need to press the clutch lever in these two bikes even on neutral,but in gixxer sf i have to press the self start button along with the clutch lever to start the bike in neutral.I just want to know is this the mechanism in gixxer sf or is there something wrong in my gixxer's self start mechanism?
Kick start working fine,i mean i dont need to press the clutch lever to start the bike when kick starting it.
I am totally a newbie,i just learnt to ride bike a month back...

Yes, every Suzuki bike including the bigger bikes (except GSX-S1000/F) require you to pull in the clutch to start the engine with electric start.

Its there in the manual! Take out the tool kit, use the large spanner, look at the oil level indicator, right under it below the bottom front splitter will be a bolt, connected to the end of a metal pipe that seems to protrude out of the base of the engine. Loosen it, (needs a lot of force) and let the oil out. Make sure your bike is on centre stand. Leave the bike for around 10 mins like this because oil takes a while.

Put the bolt back on (along with the washer, dont LOOSE IT!) tighten it by hand now. Take the oil filling cap off which can be found right above the oil level thing. Take a plastic disposable glass, fill it with new oil, and put it into the engine. Turn off the engine kill switch and slowly use the kick start to crank the motor around 1 or 2 times. Then open the bolt under the engine and let it drain. This will flush out the old oil from the engine. After 10mins of letting it drain, put the bolt back in with the washer and fill 850ml of oil into the engine and use the kick start again to crank the engine.

Take bike off mainstand, and have a friend look at the oil level. if you cnat find someone to help, you can use ur phone while sitting on bike to take picture of oil level. Make sure its near the upper mark but under it. YOUR BIKE MUST BE COMPLETELY LEVEL AND ON LEVEL GROUND! add or remove oil as necessary. Tighten everything up and you are done. Dont forget to crank the engine manually with kickstart before turning on kill switch, this will make sure oil is in every nook and cranny before you start bike. After starting let it idle for a bit.

synthetic or not doesnt really matter. synthetic is the only one available for 10w40. suzuki must be using synthetic as well because this bike has so long service intervals. 2nd service and oil change is at 4500km!
synthetic is better because synthetic does not break down as easily as normal.


touring was epic! did not feel stressed at all(me) and the sf DOES have a form oil cooling. It sprays oil into the underside of the piston to cool it down.
I rode it to lavasa, and boy was the road steep! not only that, but my friends pulsar 150 was struggling so i had to carry his GF on pillion as well. Still no problems.

The suspension is a bit on the hard side though, specially the front forks, so you will feel every efficng gap b/w stones on old roads that dont have asphalt. On the specially bad roads, i was riding while standing and the bike is beautiful in handling even in this mode!
here is a video of what i did
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8zLvJOJu98



yes the bike was drifting quite a bit on the gravel/sand but even a noob rider like me who has been riding for 2 months and 1000km only could handle it so i guess its quite forgiving

Thanks lot I never knew about that using new oil to flush old ones 👍 after 1st service will ask svc to get fs if they don't now I can

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Thnks for the rply mate,i was thinking that i spoiled the self start,lol...
This is my first bike so very much exited as well as cautious,a little scratch makes my heart beat faster

this is there because of safety. Gixxer has A LOT of torque in first gear at low RPM. so if you have bike in gear and start it off accidentally, the bike will run off without you

flushing out should be done so that there is no chemical reaction b/w the two oils

i bet the stupid f*cks at the SVC have no idea about this.
