Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Thanks for the info dude. :-) But while I removed the spark plug it was completly dry. And I also checked that the smoke from exhaust was invisible. So engine oil is not mixing. Correct???

Check the photos you have posted.
Your spark plug is dripping oil from threads.
It could happen in only two cases.
Either your engine is over filled with oil.
Your engine is burning it’s oil reservoir.

Considering your service history, overfilling case could be ruled out.

Smoke from the exhaust is in second stage. Also, you won’t notice it until the bike is burning more oil.

I have touched the spark plug theard and saw it very clearly and sure that it was very dry. So no oil is mixed. Thank u so much for the info dude. :-)

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Hello everyone! I've just bought my Gixxer SF and the chain seems to be a little loose. Can anyone please tell me what amount of free play in chain is permissible?

Re: Engine vibration

So my bike is done 5k KM's and 3 services with oil change. But now I feel my engine ideal is at 2k rpm when I switch it on and only settles at 1200 rpm after 30 seconds. Also I feel quite a lot of vibrations while riding.
What could be issue here? I'm using normal Suzuki motoul oil of service centre.

its quite normal in cold weather
engine takes time to heat up and get up to a ideal rpm

vibrations would be there until the engine warms up and would eventually reduce after 3-4 kms

Owner's manual page 6-34 (unless your manual is different than mine, section: Inspection and maintenance, sub-section: drive chain)

Congratulations on your new bike! Happy mile crunching

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Thinking of ordering a Disc Brake Lock for added security. Not the cheap crap but since budget is restricted, thinking of getting this...

Abus Solid Cast Metal Motorcycle Disc Brake Lock With 2 Keys (Black)

https://www.amazon.in/Abus-Motorcycle-Disc-Brake-Lock/dp/B01DLZU2CG/

It's got good reviews. Is it worth it at Rs. 1200? Is there a better option? Will the price be cheaper locally?

Another good one I researched was...

Kryptonite Keeper 5s Black Chrome Disc Lock

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GBRAVC/

Comes down to Rs. 2500 including shipping and customs, etc. I might not get this coz 2500 seems too costly but if it's worth it, then sure.

What do you guys think?

Also, is it worth installing the official skid plate in a Gixxer SF?

Let me know if you put a different rear sprocket and what difference it made. I'm also interested in doing so.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Its sad that you dint/dont follow the maintenance schedule. It says clearly in your owners manual to replace Spark Plug every 8000 kms and to inspect & clean it during every other service.

I only did the free services at SCV after whoch all the regular services are done by myself. Bcoz I had a bad experience with the service centre here at chennai and also find it difficult to allot time to go to scv for service. Also only I can do a better service to my bike than any other service guy.

1. I replace engine oil (Shell advance semi synthetic) every 3000kms along with oil filter.
2. I clean (Kerosene) and lube (wonderfill lube) the chain whenever I feel the chain dirty or dry.
3. I change my air filter every 10000kms.
4. I have changed the chain sprocket set at 18000kms.
5. I have replaced the headlight bulb at 26000kms.
6. I waah my bike myself whenever i feel its dirty.

But i missed with the spark plug bcoz I did not have any impact on the performance or mileage so far.

And on my personal opinion I feel my bike and I are tied up by heart. Whenever my bike needs my help it tells me. :-)

So thats how I felt of changing the spark plug.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Have you replaced the air filter in this 27k period - if no, do that too. Where do you service the vehicle?

Yes I replace it every 10000kms. I feel that is correct due to some dusty areas in chennai. :-)

Hav you checked the chain condition? Bcoz a dry chain will also result in rough ride experience in the bike also an old engine oil. But if the chain is well lubbed and engine oil is also good then there is something else :-)

Hello! I had the same doubt but I don't think it really makes much of a difference as the engine of gixxer doesn't work on high compression ratio.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Octane 92 Petrol and Octane 95 Petrol

Interesting, what company is it from?

Also 92 is enough.
