Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Let me know the maximum speed that we can do continuously without stressing the engine in sf

its pretty happy at 100. but i prefer to keep it at 6k RPM max while cruising long distances. So 85-90kph in 5th gear.

just recently hit its top speed of 125kph on the mumbai pune expressway in the dead of the night. i was quite happy. no stressful vibrations from anywhere.

but if there is traffic, i dont feel like riding in the 5th gear. i stay in the 4th so i have enough power to get out of sticky situations like riding next to car and they suddenly come into your lane. ETC. no matter what most people say, power on a bike often saves you from other people who dont notice you.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

So i wanted to ask another noob question...so here it goes

I wanted to know if i should use any other type of petrol rather than the normal one...for my gixxer sf....and will using a different type of petrol improve the performance of the bike in any way.??

Yes there are two types I know of one is leaded which every fuel stations, then it's unleaded/premium petrol which is like 4rs more the price of the leaded but it's more purified than the leaded and suzuki recommend using the unleaded fuel in our gixxer, using leaded fuel may damage your Catholic convertor (pardon if I spelled wrong) not only that using unleaded fuel has many more advantage over like more mileage, less engine knocking, less carbon, better combustion too I guess and I'm not sure about this but my bike sounds good on unleaded while on leaded it sounds a bit different, I prefer unleaded so does anyone else here, read a lead vs unleaded fuel topic from Google to know more. Happy riding.

Guys I've installed a led headlight on sf and its bright AF, specs where 18-20w low and 33-35w high, I asked the is it possible to use high and low both at same time would it damage battery he said no well he was a Noob, you guys tell me if I use both it'll be like 55w (high low both low takes just 20w) where stock was 35w (just low high takes another 35w) would it'll be a huge affect on battery do I need to buy a tickle charger or its fine? Btw I always ride hard on rpm does it helps charge battery? I'll be posting images of headlight tommorow.

That's what I love about this bike practically vibe free until the Rev limiter, on attacking corners I don't feel a thing maybe it's the adrenaline in me which makes me forget the vibs but really i do not regret taking this bike, I wish it had 4v and a liquid cooling (ready to take on them cbr and r15 down)

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Getting minor vibrations on the left handebar at times. Is it a problem?

Another issue, from full tank to empty (no visible petrol in the tank & I am having to check like this as the fuel gauge is faulty), my bike gave me 413kms only, that's like some ~35 kmpl average. Anyone else experiencing low mileage?

ODO: ~4700kms, Services done: 2

Sir you do not get leaded petrol anymore, atleast not legally.

The fuels that you get are, unleaded and premium ones which are the same as unleaded but contain certain additives to improve combustion and to reduce emissions.

And sir it is Catalytic converter .

@Rohit Yadav - Sir, Does the Catholic converter work only on Catholics, or other people also can benefit?
Thanks in advance..

Im not the moderator for this group but this is really indecent.

Come on boy the guy said he dint spell it right, there is no need to embarrass someone in a public forum.

Every one here is for help and to share their thoughts on their bikes, lets just maintain that and not make this a joke.

Thanks

Yes bikes without a Catholic converter won't have a problem with leaded fuel but which has it should use the unleaded fuel, and yes with our without convertor you can get advantage of the unleaded fuel more power the Engine has more effect you'd see.

No not major but yeah it'll be like growing cancer sometimes cigrate is fine but daily that's harmful I use leaded when I visit urban area or when I'm low at fuel, yes please use unleaded fuel as much as you can use Leaded just in case when you can't find unleaded.

Vibrations mean being uncomfortable if it's getting you uncomfortable get it checked out bro.

I've avoided your sarcastically mean reply since I'm not as immature as you i just read a article and I was just telling what I know I didn't knew the spelling and I apologize for that once again.

Yeah I did get it, I choose to avoid and think he made a mistake I'd answer without making fun of him.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Hey guys I was waiting for the Gixxer SF FI with double disk brakes but it seems that they are only going to release the Access 125 in April next month ! They have mentioned in their FB page comments that they haven't ascertained a launch date for the new Gixxer SF ! Does someone have any clue regarding the launch date or should i go ahead and buy the current version of Gixxer SF ? Please advise..
