Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Friends,

I got my gixxer sf black (double disc brakes) on 10th October.
It came after 16 test rides of 11 bike models.....and reading tones n tones of reviews and ownership experiences of each of the following bikes test-ridden in last 2 months 😝: 👇

RE:
TB 500 n 350
Electra n Bullet 500
Himalayan
Classic 350

Bajaj AS 150 n 200
RTR 200
Honda Hornet 160
Gixxer (both naked n faired)

So far so good ... enjoying this Black Bird 😄

Woah congrats.
You preferred the SF over the RTR200. Wow.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Got 3 issues fellas, need possible solutions for this

1. Recurring screeching sound from front disc
2. Burning smell from engine area (Bike have covered 3000kms so the smell is definitely not from paint)
3. Oil level reducing significantly although there is no smoke from Exhaust or any oil leaks

Question: What is the cost of a single indicator?

If your bike is new and pending 1st or 2nd service, then follow the user manual.

If the bike is done with 2nd service, change gears when you feel like.

Gear change is as usual gradual step up of 15-20 kmpl per gear change.. No harsh acceleration & riding.. :-)

Gear change is something that should come instinctively. No manual in the world is going to tell you when to change the gears. However until your first service you should keep the RPM below 4.5k and until second service keep it below 7.5k. Never run the engine at a constant RPM always keep varying it.

P.S: What do you mean by "10km gap"?

Change gears w. r. t RPM and not speed. You maybe keeping the revs too low with this 10 kmph funda for efficient performance.

Change gears at 4-5k rpm not 10kmph speed increment.
You are driving a petrol bike not a diesel car which requires low rev upshifts

i read in other thread this should be the efficient way of shifting to get better mileage but if we try to change at 4k to 5k rpm isnt it too late?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Guys need your help ASAP! I am about to install K&N air filter in my GSF. I am confused between two models of their universal filter - RC 1060 or R 1100.

I have seen people using RC 1060 but need to know if R1100 will be perfect or not. Please help me choose the right one.
