Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

You know even me too fed up with the Gixxers engine performance. Hard gear shifts & tight clutch leading to pain in my wrist and legs badly after a drive in the city traffic. Suzuki svc centers in hyd sucks visited many svc to rectify issues but none of them got rectified the rear brake noise is irritating me a lot. Engine became rough and sluggish don't know the reason it might be peculiar with my bike. Driving the bike at low speeds in the city traffic has became very irritating as the engine feels rough & heavy to revv. Sent many complaints to suzuki india but no use the svc mechanics are incapable of solving even the minute niggles. No doubt Gixxer is the superb 155cc bike in the entire segment but the worst after sales servicing is what spoiling the image of the bike. Planning to sell the bike in the feature as of now iam saving money for the other bike. Over all iam not satisfied with the Gixxer except for the looks & superb digiconsole which it is carrying even the road grip is awesome but the engine performance is not constant at all the times it varies drastically. My bike is 26 K Kms old one all the services are completed as per the schedule. I do change the oil on my own at every 2.5 k Kms mark. I own a 2015 naked one not SF. SUZUKIS AFTER SALES SUCKS FOR SURE I think bajaj service is a bit better than this shit.

What I have heard from 2015 gixxer owners is the same what you have mentioned. The reason for that might be because 2015 was the first production batch these issues might have arose.But the 2016 & 2017 batch gixxers dont face such issues.I have even seen a youtuber who owns same 2015 manufactured gixxer giving the same review.

The bike inherently has a Speedo error of ~10%



I have clocked 10,000 kms, no issue. Some of my other buddies have clocked 20-30,000 kms and their bike feels just as smooth as mine.

If your clutch is tight then get teh cable tension adjusted. Hard gear shifts is a known issue with all GSX 150 bikes. You can compensate for it by wearing harder shoes (like boots) and changing the shift lever position downwards so that you dont have to Dorsiflex too much for upshifting.

I am assuming you have drum brakes in the rear. In that case go to teh SVC tell them to open the drum and service the Brake shoes properly, replace if necessary. Check the drum wall as well for irregularities. In case of Disc brakes, check the alignment of the wheel and make sure the rotor isnt bent.

If your engine became rough and sluggish then you must have abused it or something is off. Could be a fueling issue mostly. Have some patience and get it checked at a SVC. Be stern with them when you address the issue. Ask to talk with teh supervisor or manager.

If teh SVC mechanics are incapable of doing anything then take your bike to a local mechanic. (Might void teh warranty so be careful)

Tried all the things u mentioned a long back still not at all satisfied with my Gixxer because the main thing is the engine it's very sluggish and heavy I don't have plans of either changing the engine parts. In the coming months iam gonna sell this bike and I will go for other alternative. If u people are not facing any issues like me then u r very lucky ones to enjoy the Gixxer to the core. U know I had done the CO setting many times at the svc but no use. Finally what I made in my mind is use this bike for a couple of months or even more without bothering myself about its issues & after saving I will go for other alternative for Gixxer. I never abused the engine I change the oil at every 2-2.5K KMS & I frequently clean the chain and lube it with motul or other brand chain sprays. Still the chain is in good condition even at 26K KMS. I think it's a manufacturing defect. And the suzuki svc people here in HYD are the worst i say.

Just because your problem is not getting rectified does not mean SVCs in Hyd are worst. Keep that judgement to yourself. I cannot comment any further as to why your Engine is "sluggish" without knowing exactly what you put your engine through. If your bike is under warranty you can get teh entire engine replaced under warranty.

Also FYI, if it was a manufacturing defect, your engine would have behaved in a sluggish manner from the beginning not after reaching 26000kms.

Anyways if you do plan to sell the bike, all the best for it and for your new bike.

Even i am facing the same problem while driving in city at low speeds, the bike feels very lazy to rev.
but in highways it will give competition to premium 150cc segment and entry level 200cc bikes. very smooth no vibrations at all stable at triple digit speeds. i think the fairing will do the magic in highways.

Yeah that is the exactly same thing which iam facing with my bike. Tuned carb at the svc many times, adjusted the tappets, cleaned the carb even cleaned and lubed the chain but no use. Worst svc people here in hyd says urbike is fine and good but don't even identify the minor niggle that's why iam also fed up dude. Tried GEM SUZUKI KONDAPUR,MAHAVIR SUZUKI KUKATPALLY, MIDAS SUZUKI MALAKPET & uppal branch all of them are useless. They just have a general knowledge about how to service the bike that's it. Finding the root cause of the issue is a very big task for them I think that's why when ever we complain them regarding any issue their simple answer is EVERY THING IS FINE SIR COME AT THE NEXT SERVICE WE WILL RECTIFY IT. WTF......

CEAT tyres are worst for anything except the great warranty.

Worst in which way?

Which tires ar best of similar size?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

I was using full synthetic....can i turn back to semi synthetic? What are the effects observable? Did anyone tried this?

Stick with the default MRFs. I do track runs with teh default tyres and they are absolutely fine.

Nothing will happen, you wont feel any change.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

From last few days , my younger brother was having my bike, and today when I took back the bike I notice a bend to the Mac wheel. Can anyone help me out what to do. And It is also creating little noise when bike is going through potholes.

That'll be the best thing you could do to your bike.

Claim insurance and replace the rim, do not attempt to get the bend fixed on the alloy, it is just too risky and might result in catastrophic, you never know. Better safe than sorry.

Will I get the 100% cover in it?

90-95%, talk to the SVC guys, they might be able to give you precise numbers.

But interval is 1500 kms isnt it for SS oil......and would the bike loose its engine smoothness as on using motul 7100 FS oil?
