Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

I don't know where you looked up the engine specs, but Honda's official website says 18.28 bhp.

I may be wrong with this...I accept

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Yeah.. But it also has a jet tech where in oil is sprayed on the pistons when the engine gets hot.. And also I have heard people clocking 600 to 700km on gixxer in single day without any problems..

Like said in my post before, I am not saying its a bad bike. That jet tech is known sjcs, suzuki jet cooling system. I am just pointing out my observations.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Source of information on specs of bike???

Where did you see its 18.28BHP I could find only 16.9BHP as maximum power produced in CBR 150R 2016 model.

I may not be aware of the fact that power produced by current model CBR is high than R15, so what?? And now the CBR is no where less to R15.

And how did you come to conclusion that I didn't even ride any one of the bike at least once, I have ride both bike many times....two friends of mine own CBR 150R and my brother owns R15 V 2.o
I suggested about the comfort only after riding these two bikes.

Here you are mentioning that it did not ache you, you might have got practiced to it...yes we can see many R15 on roads, that doesn't mean R15 is more comfortable, riders would have got practiced with it, one of them is my brother who was initially complaining wrist pain, back pain, shoulder pain...

Here I didn't mention about Gixxer I was
talking about R15 and CBR.

You said " When you say CBR has riding comfort then you should be specific. It is more comfortable in city traffic without causing much strain on wrists and shoulder and especially with a pillion"...then what else is known as riding comfort other than this?

In this forum anyone can post suggestions, taking it or not is their wish, you can't say that one should know A-Z facts to post suggestions, practical experience is enough.

I have ride both bikes, when comparing R15, CBR is comfortable and many have accepted to it.

Finally, I gave only suggestions on CBR...at the end of my post I told him choosing bike will his choice whether it is R15 or CBR or pulsar!!

CBR 150R has always been the highest powered 150CC. I am glad you came to know about it now.

Riding comfort varies with person to person depending on the usage. For you, its very much specific, it's city traffic that you are concerned about. Out on open roads and race track the riding comfort is different. In that case, I can very well say R15 is more comfortable for me than anyother bike even in city traffic. That's not the way to generalise it, brother. Each type of physique might feel good with different bikes.

I have always said the pain part is again relative to me. I've used only personal phrases. There is a difference between 'it could be..' and 'it is..' I didn't mean to hurt your ego and hence if you want to argue, then go on...you're in alone for a monopolised argument.

Posting facts and suggestions are different things, my brother. The fact is that CBR has higher power. That, for you, has gone wrong totally. In fact, the forum doesn't allow posting of misleading fact. Also, it is not relevant to discuss different bikes in a totally different thread. Nobody went against your suggesting of CBR or R15, but only against the misleading fact which you accepted for yourself later on, unconditionally.

I have clearly mentioned that I presumed from your statement about your riding experience. Because, any rider who has ridden both the other bikes wouldn't make vague statements like that for suggesting bikes. Comfort is a relative term. Nobody here actually cares if you have ridden both the bikes or not. You have to back up your statement in a better way if you want to prove that you have ridden them.

'But before buying check out ownership experience thread of CBR 150R, take a test ride, don't be in dilemma while buying any bike...it should be your choice whether CBR or R15 or SF or AS.'

This statement alone would have sufficed if you couldn't find anything else worthy of contributing. Now this is a suggestion and not a fact.

Peace. End of Argument.

@srinath2494

And in Gixxer 155 thread you have suggested one fellow mate to keep his spine in arch to have comfortable rides without back pain....but here you have mentioned that for comfortableness you keep your spine straight...how could you have a comfortable ride without back pain by keeping your spine straight??

Brother, I see I have hurt your ego real bad that you would like to retaliate for every post of mine. Gixxer is a naked bike and having my spine straight on it will give me a different result - neck pain, lower back pain, lateral muscle fatigue etc.

If you have ridden a sport bike like R15, which has completely different riding posture then you wouldn't post this as a query/argument. For a tall and slim person like me, that is one posture that can give maximum wind protection, protect my neck and helps me duck in very comfortably behind the petite windshield. I have been mentioning time and again that it was 'for me...' and its completely personal. I have also mentioned that it 'could' and 'might' hold good for other riders with similar physique. That is all.

Its an air cooled bike. Most faired bikes have a lot of pockets for proper air circulation. On long hot rides the engine may go kaputt. I did not mean to offend anyone here. No offense to any of the bike owners. Gixxer is one of the smoothest bikes I have ever driven. Very well built. Great FE and a great commuter.
CBR150R has a top speed of around 135 km/h whereas r15 v2 has a top speed of around 130. R15 has better low end torque. CBR150 has around 12Nm of torque whereas r15 has around 16Nm making it easier to ride in the city. Less power means more fe. Hence I suggested the R15. It goes for around 1.3L, whereas CBR is a little higher. I do apologise about the ABS part. And you wont go for tvs because of reliability? The apache rtr 180 abs version goes for around 86k, which is the same as the sf. On-road prices are different in different states. These are ex-showroom pune prices. Bottomline, if you want smothness go for gixxer, if you want speed go for r15 and if you want VFM go for apache rtr 180.

I am not biased towards any of these bikes, I dont own them. I own a duke 390. These are just my thoughts.

PEACE OUT.

I still don't get your logic when the engineers themelves at suzuki haven't worried about it and have actually marketed the bike really well. There is no strong proof to believe what you say, really.

I may be wrong with this...I accept

No one has quoted anything here to make you accept a fact and feel bad. Do not take anything personal. It's a public forum and you be right or just don't be there at all [:

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Hi Guys, I am facing an issue with my Mirrors, especially the on the right side.

Just after i completed a month of purchase of my Gixxer SF, the right side mirror started becoming loose. I ended up not using the mirror and then by the end of two months since purchase, i went to the service centre and they replaced the mirror after not being able to fix it. The replacement was a new piece, and it was free of cost

Surprisingly though, the mirror again started becoming loose, and this time within a week of replacement it ended up being useless while riding the bike. Didn't get time to visit the Service Centre after that and so I am waiting for the service due next week to let them know about the issue again


Anybody here faced similar issues? Any solution for this?

Whoa guys I didnt mean to make such a mess over here. Its my bad, I started this.

yes.. quite a few have faced this issue. Even I faced this problem after first 2 weeks.. so I removed them and fixed the naked gixxer handle bar mirrors.. to avoid frequent visits to SVC..

Partly right and partly wrong.
Irrespective of the bike (naked/faired tourer/faired supersports), the back (spine) should always be kept straight!
By straight I mean not hunched. On supersports, you lean over in such a way that the spine is in a straight line. If you only bend over (hunched back) and hold the bars with straight hands (from the shoulder), you start getting neck/back pain.
One sits straight on a naked bike (back almost 90 degrees), slightly bent but with a straight back on faired tourers and on extremely dedicated supersports one sits almost crouched with the back straight all the time. Bend your hands as per the needs and not your back!

Not justifying anything but everyone has their sweet spot on different bikes. On my gixxer I have a slightly bent upper back and I feel comfortable that way. It could be similar to other people who are just as tall as I am or even taller. Sitting upright gives me too much wind blast IMO and eventually spoils riding experience. So I avoid it. On R15, you know how tall people would fit in, I scoot back as much as I can so that my arms are not straight and just have my spine straight inclined towards the windshield. This one is just perfect. But on apache, CBR and even Karizma(old) I feel an awkward bend on my spine because of the raised clip ons and it is painful! after all there are no hard and fast rules for this.

Guys Any News On Gixxer SF With Rear Disk??

Not sure. But if you wanna buy gixxer or SF just go ahead. Rear disc would make no difference on both the bikes. In fact it will be redundant if they release a model with rear disc.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread


New to this thread. Got my new Gixxer SF day before, gotta say"whatta comeback by Suzuki" just like Yamaha did some years back with R15. Down on power but I can live with it as daily commuting doesnt require power. I was absolutely hooked on to the white from the moment I saw it. Drove 200 kms feels smooth and relaxed. Had a damage to the sticker and the Aluminium silencer had some white patches. Dealer changed both without any big fuss. Cons: refined engine, smooth ride, stunning design. Cons: As you would come to expect of a 155cc bike with carburettor little down on power.

White looks better than the black.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Hi guys I got my gixxer sf yesterday. The fairing is a bit tilted to the right. I noticed this today as I was riding to work. Immediately I mailed to suzuki people about this and also spoke to the sales guys of showroom, they said to get the bike. I got it from goregoan west Kiran suzuki, Mumbai. Any one bought from this place? Can you tell me whether this can be fixed/replaced?
