Im 6 feet tall. I wish the handlebars were a bit higher as I need to hunch a little, however the lower seat helps reduce discomfort to a large extent.

More comfortable than the Fazer for me.

Thanks, which other bike will be good for comfort?

Hello riders

I've been watching these forums since a long time but thought that its about time I join. First of all, thanks guys for being an excellent resource of information about the Gixxer SF!

I was about to book one for myself when I heard the news of the rear disc version of the bike. The dealership guy didn't have a clue about it, though.

What would you guys suggest? Should I wait for it or go for the normal drum brake variant?

I'm a new to the biking scene, mind you, having experience only on a Pulsar 180 where I learned riding.

Well I was on the same dilemma about waiting for the rear disc version or not... But my current bike is giving up on me... So I went ahead and booked the SF MotoGP edition on 12th Oct [emoji16]
Well even the dealer I spoke too had no clue about the rear disc variant... Seems like its launch is still some time away...

Dealers mostly never have any idea about the upcoming bikes or variants... it's only the bike news websites that leakes such news... 9 out of 10 times such news are true.,. so you better wait for some time

Yeah, I think I'll wait for a few days. Diwali is not far off and I have a feeling it is going to be announced very soon or around that time. The wait is going to kill me, but I guess I'll somehow hold my horses. [emoji12]

Used Amway Silicone Glaze on small area of black SF ... Can't describe in words how its shining . Better than New IMO . Just a little concern the microfiber towel become slightly black while buffing .

But a motul chain cleaner and motul chain lube it will cost you around 300 bucks each, it will last you for 15 rounds so you can use it 500-700kms once if you visit the svc they charge you 250 plus service tax , lube your chain once in 10 days!! Happy riding!!

Are you worried about the chain or engine color...?

Engine color will fade off... and you cant do anything as the the color burns since the engine gets hot... atmost you can get it colored after 10000kms or so...

I asked SVC regarding chain lubrication and they said that chain needs to be lubed every 1000kms there is no chain cover on it. So it gets dryer and dirtier in very short run...

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Thank you both for the suggestions i really appreciate it..

Am a novice with all this and have not tried any DIY stuf..nd left it to known hands but you have pointd .e in the right direction..

Ashwin mate is lube and clean two seperate products that i wud need..?

Sagar bro i undrstand the black paint might peel off after it is inevitable but gues did not expct it to happn only aftr 4months of usage..
I did ask and got chain cleaned and lubed on my 2nd service a month back at 2200kms and they charged 160rs extra for it..
