Ifeel its happening after 1st service.. I will post again tomorrow

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

daft question... which way is reserve and which way is normal? there is a tiny cut on one end of the cock. based on that?

I would recommend you to read owners manual completely
that answers most of your questions

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Up is ON. Down is Res. Now about the lever, The fixed end of the lever (the one pointing at off) is the one that you point at ON for ON fuel flow and at RES for reserve. hope its clear

No. If the lever is pointing down, then its ON and up, its RESERVE. You can verify from your image itself as the lever is currently kept OFF. Now try imagining to toggle the lever to ON and RESERVE by following the MARKING in the image. AFAIK, this method is common in all the carburetted bikes that are being available in the Indian market.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Hey guys I am facing a little issue today. My bike is revving itself automatically.
I drove about 2km without touching the accelerator.
Even on Neutral it's rev increases.
What is the issue?
Is it serious?

Check your IDLE RPM, set it to 1k to 1.5k, RPM might be increased in your case...also check the choke.

So I saw my fuel indicator lever yesterday, Its quite the opposite of whait I Have mentioned. Correction:

1. The free end of the lever is the fuel mode pointer.
2. reserve is Up
3. On is down


Apologies.

found it out the hard way. ran out of gas.

this. check if the choke cable is proper. might just be impurities in fuel.

If it is the case from start , it is the idle speed , or if revs increase after the engine gets warm it is because the AFR tuning is wrong.

Faced the same issue with my NS. Mine was tuned to way richer than it should be due to which i was also getting a poor mileage. Get your carb tuned to the ideal AFR settings and also check for the idle RPM tuning. Cannot comment on it being serious or not.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

I touched 1500 km... I feel minor vibration like in pulsar in normal speed and after 65kmph speed I felt vibration under seat. When I asked SVC guy he told the minor vibration because of the chain loosened inside the engine and the seat vibration is due to chain problem. He didn't fix the problem. He also told the we can change the engine settings only after 3000 km.. And the vibration under seat will be reduced after some time.. But I have crossed 500 kms after this issue. Is there anyone face this problem???

Ownership experience and ...

Hello folks!

Have clocked 2920kms on my Gixxer SF in 3 months of in-city riding in the Mumbai suburbs. My experience so far has been pleasant. It is my first motorcycle and I look after it with care and love. A few dark days I have been through, when my bike fell, but that happens. Will be replacing my UKI fairing on the right and the handlebar in a couple of days.


The first month was a period of apprehension, because you're(as FIRST-TIMERS) exposed to so called issues such as - burning smell, engine heat, low pick-up, less FE, fear of not breaking-in properly, freakin do's & dont's etc .


But yes, things change after the 1st service once your engine has mated and once you're free to rev beond 60 & 5k rpm (note: the latters are for after 1500kms). The bike will get its pick-up after the initial few times you've revved hard beyond the numbers I have mentioned. The bike is so stable that you wonder whether you really are at 70kmph. Its slick while cutting through traffic.


Nowadays I don't miss a chance to twist my acce on an open road - some may relate to it, u hardly can stop urself when u see a few meters of open road after having been through the stop-go traffic. But I do my share of controlled riding too. Got an average of 43 kmpl a month back


Last few days have been I have been revving the bike in the littlest of open patches (suburban traffic I say!) and that is mostly between 2nd - for pick up and while 3rd & 4th gears - for sustainance revving. So after a full top-up I was observing the Fuel Indicator and trip meter for a few days to calculate the current FE in such riding conditions. I observed my first fuel bar (i.e. 3L) DROP at just 82 kms.


What do y'all think, is this fine or is something odd?

Also request you guys to suggest any close-by smooth roads near andheri, where one can freely ride?

Thinking of visiting Kurla to replace the stock RVMs with a smaller one. any suggestions?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread. Petrol is leaking from closed cap?

I have completed about 1700 kms on my gixxy, few days earlier I noticed something weird, I stopped for a phone call and place my helmet over the fuel tank after few minutes when I again try to wear the helmet it smell like petrol in my helmet. I also felt it earlier but I ignored it.

Is my petrol tank is leaking??

That's petrol fumes, in hot day petrol evaporates but not to such extent that you would become 'petrol head' .Did you bothered to open lid of your tank then to check.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread. Petrol is leaking from closed cap?

Thanks hitesh but every time when I use to keep helmet on tanks cap I can sense the fumes. It denser when I kept it for long durations.
