Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

When I use Speed, the bike feels smoother and vibrates less than when regular petrol is used.

Perhaps, ideal engines are tuned(by counterbalance, damping etc) finely around maxTorqueRPM and maxPowerRPM, i.e. 6,000 & 8,000 in this case.

Also it draws more power from Speed I have observed.

That doesn't make sense.

Sorry there, you meant Speed version of petrol/gasoline.
Yeah, they come with some additives esp some volatile ones to help burn A/F efficiently. Some suggest to top up with premium gasoline after long storage, since volatile molecules evaporated during storage.

Nevertheless, power bump from Speed-Gasoline is negligible but burn efficiency is better; or so I believe.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Nope, I mentioned 3 factors that lead to elevated rpm . But hot+rpm rise= Lean mix this is for sure

Rich mix doesnt cause this issue , and has good cold starts and well as dark spark plug

bro, when choke is engaged you make mixture rich which is why it idles higher.
lean mixture does NOT lead to increase in idle RPM.

at the start the mixture is set to rich which is why till first service you get poor mileage as well as why bike idles at ~1500RPM.
This is done because petrol as some lubrication and cooling properties(petrol is an oil after all, and when spray enters chamber after exhaust stroke, it cools down the insides.) and helps in breaking in process.

Using BP Speed reduced mileage in my CBR 250. 😾 But the bike was smoother at higher revs.

Where In Dehradun ?

I don't live in Dehradun, Went there to visit my relative, and there was a place Ghanta Ghar , there i found this shop ,

How ever you want you can buy online too. but only very limited quaintity left, i'd suggest to buy asap, coz once they are sold there is no way they are coming back for sale in 4-5 months.
Here are few links that have a good set of bike sticker, they are water proof too , i bought one set from there only , that fox one

Only 3 Links are there which means they only have 6 Total Sheets , and you need pair of same set to apply same on both side,

Looks legit. You can always check the bottle they are using during the service. Color is fine, keep an eye on the performance to be sure.

The bike revs slower than it used to beyond 6k rpm, bike has become slightly louder and acceleration is sightly sluggish past 6k .
I give my bike for service in the morning and pick it up after i get back from college in the evening, unfortunately im not around to monitor the work that they do.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

okay, so here are the problems I am facing after second service:

1. The seat underneath rider gets hot. I took to SVC thrice. They did something and it went away. But this is becoming recurring problem. At times, it gets to an extent where I have to stop bike and let it cool for a minute or so. It generally happens @60-70 kph, at times when I squeeze the throttle for a quick overtake, or if I ride in traffic in lower gears for an extended (15-20 mins) of time. Any help will be appreciated.

2. The transmission is loud as ****. It makes a huge CLUNK sound when I up-shift or down shift. The chain makes noise just like a car makes when drove reverse. This is bad. I opted for suzuki for its transmission and engine prowess. Both these are being a big let down. Took to SVC thrice for same issue and same result. They adjust the clutch and once bike hits a sharp speed breakers (my office building has 6 of these *************) at around 10 kph the sound returns.

Don't know if its the bike or stupid *** SVC people .

Please help!

Get your chain tightened/ adjusted. Also get it lubed if you haven't. And the transmission is naturally clunky. It will automatically smoothen to some extent. As for the seat heating issue.. i don't have a clue.
