Stretch your budget a bit and get a Rynox Urban jacket. Has a KNOX CE Level 1 Armour at the shoulder and elbow, a foam padding for the back. Has reflective stickers all over for night riding/touring. Can be used as a day-to-day jacket.

I am planning to add fog lights on my sf. Is it legal to add it or will I face problems??

Any modification that you do other than factory settings of the bike, is illegal. Adding auxiliary lights do help with night riding but will also blind the oncoming vehicles. Hence it is illegal. You may be fined by the cops if they catch you.

Hey, Suzuki recently launched their whole new range of accesories for both Gixxers and some cool riding gear as well. Does anyone have any idea about the quality of the jacket they are selling?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Okay, I read somewhere that it is okay to put auxiliary lights on the motorcycle as long as they are placed below the main headlamp.
Also after getting the mod done, one can get a NOC from the local RTO. Not sure about the NOC part, just heard about it!

This is my setup!
You can check out the auxiliary lights from autofy.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Hello everyone, I am facing issue in my 2015 sf. My bike leans to the left. If I let go of the handle bars while riding, the bike moves to left instead of going straight.
Service centre recommends changing fork stem which costs RS 3,500.
Has anyone faced this issue? Need help here.

Anyone has issues with the electric start ?
My electric start stopped working when the bike is less than 6 months old.
I took it with the dealer to fix it under warranty. They said, they cleaned something in the switch and it started working and I was charged for this.
Now after about a month the issue started again. The electric start occasionally works. Sometimes I had to press few times and it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Happens even after driving it for a while so nothing to do with cold engine or anything.

Hey everyone! Has anyone tried the CEAT Zoom rad at the rear end of the bike?
I am due a rear tyre change and the only available options in 140/60/R-17 are the stock MRF Revz or the CEAT Zoom.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

You should look at Apolo Alpha H1 as well, people who have used them swear by its quality, read the reviews for the 150 section one at Amazon.
apollo ALPHA S1 130/70 R17 62H Steel Belted Radial Tubeless Rear Tyre https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07VRS5F47/..._ZFv0Db8MCP8VQ
It's a brand new tyre and is rated for speeds upto 270 kmph, so you can image the quality of the tyre.

If those two are your options, you're better off getting the RevZ. Ceat Zoom has a lot of quality control issues and in my personal usage experience on a friend's Hornet, it has wobbling issues, skidding on moderate sandy surface and side profile went to the ridiculous extent of brittling out and deforming the tyre. If you can order online, go for the Michelin or Apollo H1. H1 is a medium compound and will offer better grip compared to Ceat or Michelin. But Rev Z would be my personal preference among the lot.
