Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Posting after a long time. I have crossed 10,200 km since getting gixxy on 25th June 2015. Has been one hell of a journey, she ignited a passion in me that I never knew existed.
But time has come for me to say goodbye to her as I need a more powerful bike with the amount of touring that I do. I am thinking of selling her now.
One problem now I have is the front disk making a squeaky noise once in a full revolution. Got it checked at my 4th service last week and there seems to a slight bend in the disk.
I am not sure if the disk is covered under warranty. SVC had no clue but anyway quoted 1.8k for replacing the disk.
Have any of u had similar issue, if so how did you guys fix it.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Okay guys what it the best way to get better lights as the current one sucks.. I'm thinking to put Osram night racer. Will it kill the warranty? What other options are there?

Yes Osram will be a good choice, and it won't kill warranty , if you do lot of night driving i'd suggest to go for osram, if you drive in night rarely , then there is no need to switch

Second service experience.

I got my SF's second service done this weekend and here are the takeaways.

The service guy used Motul mineral 10w40 and he said the whole 1l is used. ( The manual says 850 without filter change and 950 with it). I enquired about the fully synthetic one and they said I can opt for it. Planning to do that next time.

They had put in some additives on the first service and AFAIK those are not required, so I asked the service manager there. (seemed to be a senior, informed and cooperative guy). Here's what he told me.

1. First additive they use is for the fuel tank, resists corrosion, rust etc and prevents its inner lining.
2. Second additive for engine, increases viscosity.
3. These are no way compulsory, but good to have.

I decided not to get them this time and observe any differences.

The idle rpm has increased from 1k to 1.5-2.0k. So the bike felt more powerful (unnecessarily) the moment I rode it from the service center and turned back to know if this is alright. They said its better at this level and would help in cold start and mileage. But my logic says more fuel would be burnt even while I'm waiting at a signal, so mileage ought to be screwed. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The worst issue I'm facing now is that the engine seems to be overheating too soon. I don't remember that happening before.
Can this be because of excess engine oil ? Need some pointers here.

Thanks for the reply mate. We dont have any street lights here so it's very difficult to navigate in the night with the stock bulb. Can i get the Osram night racer in the SVC?

I don't think you can get it at SVC. You may have to order it online or find a shop. You can call the SVC though.

additives are a scam for new vehicles. only after around 10 years will you feel the effect of additives. neither of what you mentioned make no technical sense in any language

Anyone from Kolkata pls assist...
I have learners licence,i want to apply for the permanent license from RTO Alipur,the person from whom i got the Learners want more money for the permanent license,earlier he agreed on 1600 for both learners and permanent license,now he is asking 2000,so i thought that i will do it myself.Please tell me the procedure for obtaining the permanent license from Alipur RTO and also tell me the time required for for all these to get completed,i am eligible to give the driving test after 15th March.

you should have gone to a regular old driving school. i paid 1300rs for my complete license. got learner in a week, and went back home to get permanent done after 5 motnhs. no hassle.

Re: Second service experience.

...

Just Visit RTO yourself, and ask from 2-3 Employee There what is the process, There i don't know but here i did all stuff on my own and all costed me around 480/- Including petrol Charges . Without any Agent, so there the price must be around that only max 600 other wise it will be done in 450

Hey [MENTION=82057]Rapper Deepak Arya[/MENTION]!!!

Did you get your license from the Haldwani RTO??
If yes, then you got fooled too buddy [emoji12]

I also got my license from Haldwani RTO and did all the process work by myself. So here's the total expense :

1) File cover and 2 forms(Learner) = Rs10
2) Learner License fee = Rs60
3) Written Test fee = Rs25
4) Medical Certificate fee = Rs15
5) Permanent License fee(after 1 month) = Rs200

So total expense from Learner to Permanent License is just Rs 310 [emoji4]

I think this should be near about same in all over India!!

I was also skeptical, hence decided against getting them. Hope you're right
