Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Has anyone used aftermarket brake pads for Gixxer SF, as I feel the brakes fade significantly under hard use.

Hi I have used aftermarket ones. I took the risk because I couldnt source the original one for some reason. The after market ones feel pretty much the same, and yeah I agree the either of the pads wear out quickly. But its important to change it to a fresh one either aftermarket or original instead of letting the old ones spoil the disc

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

For the past couple of weeks I've been feeling the bike feel a bit wobbly/ balance seeming a bit off even at steady speed(40-60 kmph). I've got the bike checked out at the local service centre, but they don't really see an issue.

Now I've ridden the bike for 19k kms and can tell there's a difference in handling. Front tyre has been replaced last month. Rear tyre is stock. I only use the bike for commuting roughly 40 kms everyday. Have been maintaining tyre pressure properly as well since the issue started. I initially believed it might have been a puncture

Looking for suggestions to clear this nagging issue.

Bro if the Tyre is right I don't think you should face any problems
Mostly if your Tyre pressure is not right your average will drop and your tyres will go for a toss

Re: Gixxer SF handling issue

Some kind of check to confirm that all is fine. Or High time to get the rear tyre replaced as well?

Don't double post the same issue. Look at my previous post for an answer to your previous post

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

okay bro, I need to fix that led strips. It looks cool. do post some clear pictures of that led strips If you have time, bro, also please let know where to buy those led strips

So where my finger is pointing, there the wire goes through. Pls open the pic and zoom and see, you'll come to know. See, it's a single strip of LED lights. You cut how much you need. I have cut 3 LED length. That much is enough, else if you you put more, it'll be too bright and the look won't be there. Also, stick the LED strip as shown into the top half. Bottom half means, ppl can see the strip in daylight. On top, it's hidden almost from view.
It's a one way wire coming out from one end. So once you stick it, all you need is one opening through which you drag the wires and connect to your relay. Surprisingly, even though there's no gap there, if you remove the fairing and fix it back, it sits well. Since the fairing is 3 pieces, so you can remove the headlamp side fairing, and the middle part, and fix it back. The wire doesn't cut. The fairing has some play so no issues. He bolted it back well, no vibrations nothing. I revved hard and saw, same as before, zero vibrations. Now have been using the lights for a week almost, no issues as such.
The LED strip, something like this it looks like -



Mine is connected so that, when the bike is on, it comes on. No switch.
I have done it from JC road, Bangalore. The shop name is Accessories Zone, in Shanthala Complex, JC road.

Address-
53/6, Sharada Complex, A M Road, Near-Journalist Colony, Kalasipalyam New Extension, Kalasipalya, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560002

Opposite town hall signal, if your going towards SP road, take first left, then dead end, then right. You'll find the shop on your left. Best is to use Google Maps.
His mechanic will install the lights whatever you want. He has custom indicators and almost everything. No need to buy anything and take it there. If you buy from him itself and fix from him, it's cheaper.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Hei,,
This is ma first post in the forum and i purchased a SF Moto gp edition on march31st, bs3 model.
The OTR came to only 87k in bangalore as i bargained a lot and anyway it was bs3.

i have already completed 3k kms on my SF and so far so good~~ no issues
The Gear shift was hard but has been corrected to an extent post 1st service at Aerolox suzuki, mission Road, Bengaluru.

Sometimes the gear goes to N instead of 2nd gear, but i dont know if i m not pulling gear stick harder. some pics attached as well

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

REQUEST: To all the Gixxer owners reading this, can you do a small measurement for me please. Can you measure the length from the Tip of the tail light to the tips of the adjuster screws at teh end of both the swingarms and see whether the length is the same on both sides or not.

Sometimes the gear goes to N instead of 2nd gear, but i dont know if i m not pulling gear stick harder. some pics attached as well

Pics aren't attached.

Yeah I get that issue sometimes when I am not wearing boots. You will have to push the lever further while going to 2nd from 1st or vice versa.

My advice, get yourself hard boots and lower your shift lever by 1 step so that you dont have to Dorsiflex too much while upshifting.

Hello all
I am in Bangalore and not satisfied with service quality at authorised service centres. Anyone visiting private mechanics ? What is your experience?
Thanks

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Hello guys got my bike last week.. finished 300kms so far
Mods - replaced lights running 55w Phillips extreme vision
Converted indicators to led (used the duke's and damn they are costly and replaced the flasher relay since the indicators were hyper)
