Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Hey guys which parking cover you all are using..?
My college parking is not that good so I need a parking cover. Kindly suggest some good one's.
Dealership gave me one but that doesn't fit the bike properly.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

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)

I did a couple of turns at 100-110 kph. Its quite doable on this bike and feels very eager to do turns. No vibration. just dont forget to use countersteer instead of your weight to lean and steer else you will 100% die.

But, i wouldnt advise crusing in india at 100kph constant. Specially on dual-carriage way i.e roads without dividers. Because of retarded cagers who dont pay attention.

as for all the controversy about speeding which arose from my post.... I do not endorse speeding.
However! When you slowly push your self and the machine to the limit, in safe environments without endangering others, what you are doing is improving your skill.
Skills that will save our asses when push comes to shove and shit hits the fan.

Do i ride at crazy speeds all the time in traffic? ofcourse not. But when i started riding(which happens to be on this bike) First basic thing i did was go upto 30kph and brake as hard as possible. Then increased speeds slowly and braked again. This allowed me to learn how to brake "SAFELY" in an emergency should it happen. And it has helped me quite a few times.
So, take baby steps into increasing your skill. Make it so that no one else is being endangered. Dont just go out and start speeding at 100kph without even knowing proper techniques like counter steer, proper posture etc. And most important wear your gear.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

This is a led it's way too much bright uses the reflector which I really like I didn't went to a projector since it won't look good as r15 and the wattage was too much this has 20w for low and 35w for high and now when you press High beam switch low and high both works so total 55w, I removed my rear parking light to clear some wattage so I'm not way far the limit even with high and low at once.
I don't like colorful lights and blinks so my friend installed blue led strip inside it doesn't bother peeps on road and looks nice.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

What should be the interval of oil change. My svc changed it in <1300 kms. Quite curious about this.

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

Read your post on carb tuning and how it has improved your the FE in your xtreme.

My bike is smooth and all, so I was wondering I should get a carb tune up done, What do ya say?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Gixxer SF FI version is going to reach dealers on 15th of April is what the Suzuki representative told me on the phone just now. Can anyone collaborate? He seemed to hesitate a little bit before telling me that.

Dont touch carb until you are sure it has some problem, tuning carb requires lots of experience .

Check for loose handlebar nut (Lh and Rh) which are causing vibes to creep in .
Try another fuel pump / Fill 1 lit in a bottle then pour it into tank ( if its near empty) then check mileage.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Hi guys!

Weird issue. Got 12 punctures in my front tyre in 2 DAYS!!!!
all of them were in the crevice of the tread pattern. Is someone vandalizing? (i use underground parking which is semi secure)

Also no foreign objects were found in them except of a shard of glass in one.

You can use bullet cover or can try online for covers , also bullet cover doesn't cover the bike properly.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

So, after receiving this Mini Busa on my birthday in Jan. It's been a very good experience.
In the first month or the break -in period, I couldn't put the bike to full use as my office is just 16-18 kms away from home & i used to take it on alternative days.
When the first service approached on Feb 19th, the odometer had done 450-460 kms. After the firs service, the bike felt very smooth.
But I continued to ride it under 5k rpm to ensure that I break-in upto 1000 kms. Couple of days ago I have completed 1000 kms on the odo & increased the rpm limit to 7k rpm.
But in the stop-go traffic in Mumbai, the bike stalls sometimes and when I try to rev for more speed the engine sounds a light knocking grunty.

My question is: "Whether this is because the oil has not been changed for quite some time?" Because I read somewhere in the earlier posts that Oil change should be done every 500 kms to ensure the smoothness of the engine. Is there any other issue that needs to be addressed? As the next service is in May? How do I keep the engine intact and the bike refined?

Handlebar

Look at this handlebar on a Fazer I saw parked somewhere
