Is it recognized by RTO as HSRP (the one Supreme Court is trying to enforce)?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Guys, the only HSRPs that are legal on the roads are the ones that are issued by the RTO directly, at least here in North India.

A legal HSRP issued by a legal RTO dealer has IND and a hologram on the number plate. HSRP costs around Rs200 here in Chandigarh. Fake illegal HSRP cost approx Rs1500 and do not look like legal HSRP.

Benefits of HSPR:: Just one. If all vehicles in India have HSRP, then it is not possible to replace/change the number of a stolen vehicle at a roadside painter or it will be easier to catch such vehicles. But thats a distant dream plus there will always be a way out to create fake HSRP plates that look like real.

It is not valid in Chennai, don't know why cops will catch you if you is this plates.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Yes, cops catch vehicles with fake HSRPs as such vehicles are in contempt of Supreme Court ruling of implementing HSRP system pan India and a fake HSRP is an imitation of a government/RTO recommended legal design/plate. Its just like making a fake stamp of a government office.

Supreme court also mandates that State Govt. to provide those plates at cheaper rates (less than Rs 200/- for motorcycles).

While Karnataka is still in litigation with Supreme Court, rest of business junta is mocking and reaping the benefits of benefit of the doubt with hefty prices.

Once Karnataka comes out with HSRP, I guess all the existing ones with KA are rendered fake thenceforth.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Hello people! I would like to share my experiences with Gixxer SF after 200 Kms on odo.
Now probably I am the only one here who is learning riding on Gixxer SF. This is my first bike and literally I am learning on her. So I know I have nothing new to tell as most of you are very knowledgeable. But I thought maybe I should just share the experience from a novice 's view if that helps another novice like me [emoji3]
I started learning riding 7 days after I bought the bike. People here helped me choosing this beauty. Initially I was afraid of riding a new bike because I I tumble or crash it will cost me a fortune. So I got started with a discover 100. It was fun but very hard. The discover had very hard shifts, almost no rear break and later I found no engine oil! So I stopped riding immediately. As there were no other bikes available I had no choice but to practice on my own SF. But when I started It felt surprisingly easy! I started riding and took a 20km ride on that day. I was feeling so confident. I must say this is a very easy to ride bike. As of now I have completed 200 kms. Here are the things I observed
The engine gets real hot even if i ride under 50 km/h
Mileage is 39 kmpl as of now
Front disk brake is really nice and I am so hooked that i sometimes forget the bike has a rear break too.
The color gets scratches very easily. Hating this real bad
Gear shifts were really notchy with many false neutrals. Showed to a local mechanic. He did his magic with only a screw driver and took may be 30 seconds. Now the gears are a little smoother.
Rear view mirrors are very hard to adjust for me.
On tall or should I say Wall speed breakers something under the bike gets scratched.
Gets lots of attention which is something I really hate.
People asks me which Yamaha model is it even if they see the Suzuki branding. Again which is something I really hate.
Mom is afraid of riding because of pillion seat height and no foot rest on saree guard. Makes me sad and regretting getting this bike.
The engine is so charming! Always tells you to go faster which I keep ignoring.
Its very very heavy for me. I weigh 57 kgs. And I can't push her out from the garage.

Now I have some noob questions. It will be very helpful for me if you good people take the pain of answering them

It's 200 kms on the odo. Is it a good idea to change the engine oil now?
I sometimes take her to 75-80 for a second or two and then close the throttle to slow down to below 4500 rpm. I have done thus maybe 3-4 times. Is it going to hurt my engine?
If I change the number plate light DRL and turn indicators to LEDs will it void my warranty?
When slowing down I use front brake more then rear break. Is it a bad habit?
I have lots of questions in my mind which I am skipping for now as the post has already been very lengthy. Sorry for the wall of text.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Replying from phone so no formatting in this post. Hope its not difficult to correlate with your queries.

1. Change oil after around 500km atleast or as per the service manual in case they mention a lower interval. Usually its anything between 500-1000km or 30 days whichever is earlier.

2. No occasional speed eont hurt the engine. Keep in mind not to do hard acceleration though.

3. Don't do mods yet. Ride for atleast 2500km and then make decision. Again no technical reason for this advice but just personal opinion.

4. Your braking habitd are alright.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer SF : Ownership thread

Hi all, I have asked this before. I am asking this once again, please help.

I need a bit more cushion on the seat, my wife finds the rear seat bit too harsh. So are there any after market seaats available?

I tried different after market parts' site but didn't find anything i need. Perhaps any recommendation, hack, advice, or options can be very useful.

You have insurance, use it. File an insurance claim. Call the number on your policy and ask what the process is.
