    Since last two months my GS is idle and one more month it will be idle. (due to professional reasons) i would like to ask

    what should i do when i start it after a long period? should i change anything like oil filter etc..

    what should i do before making it idle for long period?

    thanks in advance..
    Somewhere I referred in the manual that battery is to be disconnected if bike is kept idle for long time..

    Gotcha, Refer 8-3 , 8-4 in manual

            FZ's and Honda's are of plastic..thats y cheaper.. I even bought hondas weights..it costed only 28rs for a set..
            I like the chrome colour of the Heat handlebar weights. I will see if I can get it at the SVC.

                did you asked it in svc.,any +ve response?..
                cos they need the coupon for each service till 15th for their record..
                though they will be feeding the record in computer only...

                  It wont be a problem.....your bike is out of warranty i suppose....and all remaining services are paid ones....

                    actually i went to get black color only, but that yamaha svc didnt had it in stock..so just bought this one and it looked really nice..
                    initially the sales person refused to give spares to customer.. they asked me to bring the bike so that they'll fix it in svc itself..
                    then i spoke to the svc manager and convinced him by asking why do i need to bring my bike for this little work.. my bike is some 20kms from here and i could manage to fix it by myself.. then he told the sales person to give it...

                      after 3 months start the bike run it for some 15 minutes and drain old engine oil
                      feed her with new engine oil

                        Actually, you need to complete 9 paid services also if you want your warranty to stand.

                          Senior members might be able to troubleshoot it better.

                          It's already late to break in hard, don't you think? However, you would've been the first person to do it with GS150R as no other GS owner tried it so far.
                          Dud I didn't try motoman method and ya its too late for it... I jus posted it as for some in need of power might find it useful...

                          Check the idle rpm after riding 4-5 kms and adjust it to 1400-1500. Then check the engine mounting bolts and both axle nuts and tighten those in correct torque. Check the seating of the crank bearing, readjust or replace the engine balancer and adjust the chain slackness.
                          Finally and if necessary, retune the carburetor at the SC bringing down the CO level to 0.15-0.20%.
                          Thanks for the info.. I did meet 2 guys @SVC speaking of the same issue & did see same complaints in other portals.. I will definitely look into crack bearing seating and engine balancer.. All the other checks suggested by u were done during my first service...

                          And ya now m attempting to ride upto 6-6.5krpm and in such cases I DO NOT notice the problem I mentioned.. I find this issue only if I ride continously below 5krpm for more than an 30mins or so.. (though it has reduced in magnitude after first service)..

                          Any thoughts as to y it is so??
