It is true.. Fi version is only going to be in the moto gp color.. I asked in the SVC itself.. there will be a hike in price for this model(~10k). a new red color SF is also going to be launched

Can you post the pic of your bike ? I am also facing a problem due to these RVM's . It will be helpful if you post the pics of the bike with those rear view mirrors [emoji4]

I don't think so. See below news.

I think he is talking about air filter cover.

--
srvn

I have not removed the filter cover which is held by screws, there is a rubber like thing which we can pull out.

If he is driving without the filter guard then rip to his filter
And if he is driving without the air filter itself then time to leave xbhp

I left it open for months and nothing happened.more air can get in to the engine,I just removed the rubber cap not the filter guard and my mileage have also not gone down either...

Not marketing strategy. The swingarm needs to be changed along with the disk. The disc fits on the new rim. The brake caliper is fitted on dedicated spot on swingarm. That spot must be factory welded for accuracy. Drum brake swingarm doesn't need it since it rests on the axle. Same with old gen pulsar series. You can't fix disc brakes without swingarm change.

One of my Friend did try to do that rear disc break and he told me it's a pain in the A, so he got back to his drum type

Yes. The brake pedal section is quite complicated. But nothing a good mech can't handle. Anyway, stock configuration is the best and least troublesome. I'd advice procuring all necessary parts and spares before entering into the modding. It'd even make sure the mech works with less tension since all parts are within arms reach.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

At one time, when I start my bike using self start I heard some kind of "BODD"sound from the Exhaust. Is that some thing went into Exhaust?

Stock engine oil is good for only 2000-2500k....I would suggest changing it, also no need for service just oil change is enough. Go with the recommended 10w40 semi synthetic oil until 3rd service.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Did some sticker work on my beast! Didn't go for much as it will just spoil the looks. Used only the ones which should be on a Suzuki Gixxer SF.


The Suzuki Emblem above is the authentic one bought from a Suzuki Parts Dealer! This is a single piece sticker unlike the other ones which were cut on Radium sheets by the computer.



I also have a video of the same on YouTube - https://youtu.be/fnSw98gEuTg

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

i got some white carbon fibre vinyl and will apply that to the rear hand grads. its getting scuffed because of womens rings! sadly still no gf lol.
hope this will protect it somewhat.

So i put in motul 7100 20W50 this time.

the manual doesnt say i cant put this in, its just that this is a thicker oil and can withstand higher temperatures.
I can instantly see that the bikes engine tone has muffled a bit in the higher RPMs, and the gear shifting is so much smoother!


So far have done 50kms and it seems fine. previously i used to hear rattle after a bit of riding, its not so pronounced now. will return back with efficiency. stock service centre oil gave me 40kmpl. being a thicker oil, it might give less efficiency. lets see how bad it is fingers crossed.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

I have noticed a significant decrease in the bike's mileage which has came down to 32! The temperature nowadays usually lies in between 40-48 degrees in my city. However, I don't ride much in day. My daily commute is only going to job at 6:30 PM and coming back at 4:30 AM. Should I go for different class of Engine oil?

whcih one are you using right now? the oil doesnt get thinner than 10W40 if you use motul.

make sure you dont use too much throttle, and try to cruise on constant speeds. you might get the bike tuned. how many kms has it done?


also 6 months old now!


meticulous cleaning with proper tools and waxing each time and buffing it off does make it worth it! look at the deep shine.

i have gone offroad with it and had wet sand plastered on it as well. but wax saved it.

i use turtle wash and 3M premium wax. use a compressed sponge for washing and 3m micro fibre cloth to wipe it down. Then wax i with a sponge and buff with another micro fibre cloth.
