Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

I visited the guy yesterday. Turns out both the outer and inner bones on his ankle are fractured. He also took a good hit to his right shoulder which is probably a hairline fracture too.
The guy is married and his wife is expecting to deliver in 4-5 months. Because of this incident, his elder brother has taken 10 days off work to attend to him. He's grounded for 2 months at the least. Even after that, it'll be difficult I hear. He works as a driver and now his career will take a huge hit. All for that impatience to save a few seconds.

I wanted to demand 10-15k from his relative, but seeing his condition made me feel really sorry for him. I guess he has learnt his lesson, I surely hope he has. I've decided to foot the expense if it's under 10k after the insurance compensation. He deserves to pay, but his family isn't really deserving of this turmoil. Their suffering is enough compensation.

[MENTION=72810]joelgreen[/MENTION].. (not just praising).. God has given you a wonderful heart.Inspite of all your suffering, you decided not to ask money and decided to help him further. Sure for your good heart, you will get your bike in best condition and who knows, you might be blessed with a powerful bike & wonderful experiences in near future. Just move on & have peace with yourself.

Glad to see you are okay! that looks horrendous.

Also, i noticed a lot of extra parts on that list that dont seem to require changing.

like : tree, front LH and RH fork assembly,

Disk assembly, etc.


But since its 10 days old, Its a good idea to have it all changed. I am surprised how cool you are.

You might have insurance but your premium and credibility will take a huge hit if they pay out. Make the f**cker pay as much as he can. If it were me, i would lodge a complaint immediately. Its totally his fault and he owes you a new bike.

The front forks have taken a hit and bent, actually. Tadaa!


And as I have already stated in a prior post, we will have to foot the bill ourselves as it isn't in our hearts to put his family through the stress of funding as they already had to blow up about a lac for his operation and were struggling to get the money together.
If it were him suffering alone, I'd probably sell his kidneys off to recover my dues but I visited him at the hospital and his entire family was there, worried and ill-at-ease. They don't deserve to pay for his mistakes, but well, unfortunately, this time around, I do.

My dad will be collecting the bike tomorrow evening. After 3 weeks and 4 days!

P.S. I got a Michelin Pilot Street radial installed at the front through insurance!

Did anyone use motul 300v 10w40 factory line fully synthetic oil for gixxer?
I heard many used this n experienced more smoothness of engine n gear shifts.....good performance n mileage, but lil costly 1+k

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Rode to Shetihalli Church. . 210 kms one way.
Seriously this is a shockingly stable bike on the highways. The fairing does help big time. I was riding with a Bullet 500, a T'Bird 350 and an RX135. The RX135 was the surprise. Clocking 110 - 120 consistently, but requiring lot of bottles of oil.
And ofcourse the SF. I was easily cruising at 85-90, and even when I was at 100, had enough power to overtake the lorries and etc.. and the wind blast is not as much. Because, I took turns riding the RX.. I could feel lot of frontal and sideways wind hitting me. Plus it was raining slightly so the winds were heavy.. I am thankful for buying this. For cruising at 80-90 and for long hauls, this is perfect. Also, the extra foam helped. Didn't feel butt ache

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

The stock headlamp in Gixxer is extremely dull , so I need some replacement suggestions. I am not looking for those higher wattage (60/55W) bulbs but the recommended 35W ones as I don't want to end up messing up with the Stator Coil / Electrical and I don't want the white / blue 4000K+ colour temperature ones. Has anyone tried any HS1 / H4 type 35W yellow bulbs (Philips / Osram etc) with a better throw and brightness than the stock?

Amazon / Flipkart or Snapdeal links are welcomed

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Can someone please help with a problem
Lately my bike has giving a issue.
Say if i am riding on 25 on 3rd and let go of the throttle and while throttling up again while rolling in speeds i feel a jerk from the engine as if a gear has changed. Its gives a rush something like a bunny hopping everytime i let go off throttle and resume it.
Its just for that one jerk only then its normal again.
Its felt on 3rd 4th 5h gear.
Has anybody any idea?
And yes my bike is 1.5 years old, she gets her proper Servicing in regular intervals and i know how she should behave so please don't say it's how it's supposed to be.

Also can someone share the price of throttle and clutch cable?
And can only the exclusive cable has to be used or any other cable would suffice?

One Of The Reasons For The Jerking could be a bad airfilter. Can you try to remove the airfilter(or swap one from another gixxer) and ride it for a couple of km to see if the issue persists?
Another possibility could be a bad throttle cable or a dirty carb jets or the slide(if present). But first check the airfilter.. And if the issue goes away without the airfilter then simply replace the filter if not get the cable checked(adjusted, lubed) and carb cleaned out.

Anyone removed the fairings themselves? Can you give a step by step procedure.
