Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Hello everyone,

just a quick question. My GSF has clocked over 2k kms till now. The second service is due in May. May 19th to be precise.
But for now, my engine oil has become too dark. Shall I change the oil now or wait till the next service which is in next month?

Replies would be appreciated. (Last posts went ignore)

Assuming that you have covered 1000 - 1250 kms after first oil change, I would suggest wait for another 750-1000kms. Also, you can get the 2nd servicing done before the due date. So wait for anothe 10 days maybe and get it serviced if u feel like it

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

How many kms have you covered post oil change?

Oil tends to become black as it covers kms.

Round about 1500 kms. I'm planning to give my bike for 2nd service on 14th may as I'll have an off from my office. That leaves me with roughly 20 days. And I ride for about 35 kms everyday. Home-Office-Home. So, I think I could make do till 14th May. Right?

Thanks bud. I plan to give my bike for service on 14th May. 20 days from today. So, I assume it'll be fine to wait till then. And thanks for the reply.

I noticed this in my exhaust, any idea what it could be and what can be done?

Somebody played ball with your exhaust 😁, remove the white thing blocking the exhaust pipe ASAP with a screwdriver or tweezers

So guys in the above picture, whats shown is the fork cap of the front suspension fork. I just want to know, whether the part pointed at is the groove for the oil seal

It has to be; looking at the parts catalogue, apparently it's called front-fork-upper-gasket.

I didnt notice that till yesterday, removed it now though. I suspect that the svc folks who did my emission tests last service(a month ago) might have put it there. Do you think that it could've caused any damage?

They might have blocked a hole to get the exact reading in hope of all the smoke will emit from the other hole

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

So after a 6 months of trials and errors and making shopkeepers rich finally have found the perfect lighting solution
And its rather cheap
Dirt cheap
Bosch 4100k 55/60w
Whichs costs 400 a pair
That means 200 a piece
Installed and was in awe
After cree leds,Phillips orsam and many of our groupmates projector setups we all were unhappy about the results
But finally this thing came to rescue
Highly reccomending all to give a shot

I am using Osram Night Racer Plus 35w bulb which, although not as good as a 55w bulb, is still a lot better than the stock one.

I am not sure about putting a higher wattage bulb as the circuitry is built for the 35w one so I dont recommend them. If you use it then only you can know how will it affect the bike in the long term.

Does installing an osram 55w void bikes warranty??

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Hey guys I have clocked 7500kms and got done my 3rd service yesterday.. The bike was awesome till last month but 2 times my bike fall in a standing position then the problem raised. I feel uncomfortable while driving even at low speeds and I felt the smoothness of the bike totally gone. The sound of the bike is totally irritating me and feel abnormal vibration. When I told the same to the SVC guy, he is trying to convincing me that the bike is in normal condition. I tried another gixxer bike in showroom, it is totally smoother than mine. Please advice me what to do further. I'm in Bangalore, my bike is my only companion here.

According to the manual you're not supposed to use anything more than 35w for headlight so it might as well..

It seems the SVC guys are trying to avoid work. Clearly something broke or got loose. Maybe as simple as a nut.
You should write directly to Suzuki citing the reluctance of the SVC guys naming the SVC. They will take it up with them and you may get a call soon for service.
