Hi Guys,
I am not in India. I like this bike and this is within my budget. I had gone through several pages of this thread. I'm looking to buy the faired one. Got only 1 option here - carburetted, no ABS, both disc brakes. Checked at the dealer and they said, it is the 2018 model. What difference can be noted in the 2018 model compared to the earlier ones ?
Someone in this country posted the following pics in facebook, he bought one from a dealer, came home and found the welding to be crap. He returned it. Does all the bikes have the same quality ?

Its a cheap bike for the mass market, so thats how its made. Theres no difference between the 2018 and previous models. All of them are built the same. I have covered two major problems with the bike on my YTC regarding Misalignments and Oil Leak. Besides these 2 there are several other problems as well.

I would recommend you look into the GSX250R (assuming you are from NZ) instead.

Twin disc and ABS owners, have you ever felt that the rear brake's bite is a little too much?
I usually lock up the rear wheel atleast twice in a month[emoji4]

I thought so too. But the bite is not that much. The weight distribution is front biased and hence the rear skids easily even under mild braking. It rarely skids when you have a pillion (never skidded with a pillion, for me).
On a side note, the front tyre is way too good! It never skids even under hard braking (on tarmac).

Members who have owned this bike for more than 3 years, how much mileage are you getting?

40 plus on riding between 60-80.
35 when I go throttle heavy.

Done 41000 km in 2.5 years.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Brake levers as such, especially front shouldn't be grabby and get stuck when pressing the brake lever. They should engage and disengage equally smoothly, irrespective of ABS or non-ABS. If you find your brake levers grabby, it's time to check your master cylinder piston. Faulty master cylinder pistons would mean, grabbing brake lever. This can also be caused if your fluid level is low. Secondly, ABS when detects a wheel lock, pulses the brake lever which is perfectly normal.

The user in no way has to bring a brake lever back to its position after usage of the brake. Get it checked, if you're under warranty opt for a replacement or overhaul of the master cylinder.

Cheers!

I have the same variant and this problem is there with my motorcycle ad well. But I've noticed that it only happens below 20 kmph.

Hello everyone!
Has anyone here tried removing the lower fairing of the bike?
If yes, then can you share some pictures as I'm thinking of doing it so that I could fit a crash guard.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Is anyone using any bike cover? I'm planning to order one online, not sure if all those will fit our bikes.

Did you get any body cover ? I'm also planning to get one and i recently saw a body cover by Raidagears. Has anyone used it here ? Or any other suggestions for body cover.

You can remove the lower fairings but it slightly more difficult and ruins the look of the bike. I don't have pics currently but had uploaded it once in this forum.
