New GS 150r
I have white gs 150r since 10 Jan 12 , completed 2 serv and done 3K kms , engine vibes @ 3,800 rpm onwards , little rough before 2K ,didn't cross (reach) over 8 K rpm till date changed oil @ 1000 kms irrespective of standard oil changes (2000 - 2500kms) , please suggest best oil for GS
( changed with elf motogold for now) apart from SVC oil.
milege is reasonable at 54 KPl ( confirmed) .
Over built quality is indistructible , seems like it will last forever
, only worry is vibes that is against its USP( balancer tech and all that)
.
Yuor suggestions welcomed

WOW amazing lighting...


And bring us the process involved...
@mubashirkk:::
By seeing your hometown only suggested kovalam.. A nice beach ,missed a company when I went there last year...
Like Maestro suggested try spray paint., it'll look pleasant compared to stickering...
LED's do have polarities and if you connect it reversed when using DC supply it'll not lit up..not the same case with AC supply... Just a resistor will do the job in case of AC..
I agree man..

Thanks Kripscorp,, your good name?..
EDIT:::
Again opened it today to confirm whether I'm getting the voltage at Yellow wire when High beam is ON,.. Made sure it's coming and came to a conclusion that the work is within the intsrument panel... Surely ,there will be diode connected in series before the LED which is stopping the +ve volt to pass through.. As I said earlier I'll make it up this week and check the culprit and let you all know...Last edited by gmagesh14; 02-27-2012, 02:30 PM.

It's 2K RPM in idle after a ride of 5 KM and varies to 1.8K.Originally posted by vikhyath View PostYou dont have to wait till the indicator blinks. You can shift at around 3k rpm in the usual road conditions. The idle RPM is a little high. Have it decreased to 1.5k RPM when hot(after riding 4-5 kms).
I am not going to use my GS for next one week. Should I care anything in particular. I switched OFF fuel flow.

if it is going to be just one week no such action required.fuel flow off is enough.Originally posted by mubashirkk View PostIt's 2K RPM in idle after a ride of 5 KM and varies to 1.8K.
I am not going to use my GS for next one week. Should I care anything in particular. I switched OFF fuel flow.and the question remains why do i race?
every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

Coming to your queries, if it is around 3.8k rpm only then it's the resonance of the GS engine which is common in all our GS...
Whereas if it's present all over above 3.8k rpm then check for the plastic panels whether it has loosened or not properly fitted...
Like the visor above the headlight, side plastic panels etc.,
Do a complete visual check and tighten them properly ..
Regarding engine oils, I'm sticking to SVC oil and gave this work to them to change it in every service... As far now no gear slippages, no false gears, no vibes (except the resonance at 3.7k), no over heating of engine even in the Chennai's humid condition., So my recommendation is to go with SVC oil itself.,, Other users will point you for other recommendations., If you found it to good in performance please let me know too yaar...Last edited by gmagesh14; 02-27-2012, 10:35 PM.

IMO, Resonance RPM can be anywhere between 3500 and 3800 RPM depending upon Tachometer calibration error. My GS has it around 3700 RPM.
I'm not sure if this is helpful; NGK Plugs are back in stock @SVC. Both cpr6hsa and cpr7hsa costing same Rs 99/- per piece.
Today's Free Service DVG-SVC:
I took my GS to Lakshmi/Kalleshwara Suzuki Davangere for a free service. I used to complain services offered by "Value Suzuki" outlets in Bangalore. And to be honest with you people, LakshmiSVC@Davangere must be father or even In-Laws in offering free services. Guess what, here free service is absolutely free, unlike what's in Bangalore. Don't smile yet, cleaning is almost no cleaning here!!!
Hearing NGK is in stock, I asked them to replace my Spark Plug. Only during payment I discovered they popped in cpr6hsa
I'm not even sure they replaced my old plug for they don't return replaced parts to bike owners. Another despicable practice from Suzuki SVCs. You have to fight for getting old parts.
without hesitation, I purchased another cpr7hsa from spare-parts counter.
Post Delivery:
My front disk was squeaking(due to riding in rain) before service and disappeared post service. I was pleased but only for few kms. I was forced to brake hard at railway crossing, front disk not in action
I pressed harder to see some effects. Stopped the bike by the roadside, saw oil leaks on disk setup
checked brake fluid, looks OK. Ooops!!! them MF'ers.
I was in no mood to go back and argue with them. You won't believe, what it took to get NGK plug and Oil cap O-Ring from the counter.
I wasn't able to compare the performance of new (cpr6hsa) with old(stock cpr7hsa). Coz wind was on my back while going and on face during return.
Several hard squeezing of front brake on the 80 km long return journey has left me with a wrist pain.
PS: I saw an employee@SVC working on totally dismantled Access engine. Guess, it's a paid service then?Last edited by SparKot; 02-28-2012, 12:49 AM.There is no honest path to prosperity - KoKa

which SC?

was it an oil leak or had the SC spilled oil on the disc?

Rejoice knowing that atleast your davangere benne dose is the real deal, unlike here.

wipe off the oil from the disc.

Suzuki GS150R 2nd year Ownership Review
Hi bikers,it has been 2 years today after buying my beast the Suzuki GS150R.I have completed 60,569 kms.Now I'm going to share why I choose this bike & how this bike has been till now.
After getting admission in an Engineerer college I was in search of a bike that I can use to go to College everyday,the college was about 32kms far.So I needed a bike with good mileage,power & speed.
Being a college student it should look good as well.On researching I short-listed a number of bikes that will suit me & also not exceeding my budjet.Here's a list of bike's that short-listed:
1)Hero Karizma R:This is a bike that I really liked,its size,the looks,performance,power all was good enough for me.My friend also owns this bike I rode it & felt its really smooth.But also came to know that it has many complaints & mileage was also low & was over my budjet too,so cutted it off.
2)Honda CB Unicorn:Personal I didn't like the looks of this bike,looked dull.But having good mileage & smooth engine I though of going for this bike & I almost did booked the bike.But as always Honda put the waiting period of 6 months to get the bike which I couldn't as my college would open in just 2 months.So this wasn't an ideal choice & the other bike Honda CB Dazzler it looked over styled & I didn't like it at all like the bike.So cutted of both the Unicorn's of my list.
3)Yamaha SZ-At that time just the first SZ model was avaiable,it is really cheap..i say too cheap for a 153cc engine.Didn't like the looks & the its cheap fibre body.Cutted it off at that moment itself.
4)SUZUKI GS150R-At first I didn't exactly know about this bike.I remember seeing the 'DRIVE ME CRAZY' Ad on TV & Magazines.I did research on this bike.Read many of my friends reviews.Another thing was in my area there where no Suzuki GS150R bikes.So was in a doubt whether I should go for this.It was a leap of faith trusting Suzuki.Through researching the web,I understood the quality,refinement,power of this bike.Final decided to take a test drive,went to the Suzuki Dealer & took the test drive.The bike's huge size & majestic tank really caught my attention.The engine sound was very different & engine & gear was super smooth,the intial pickup was low.It was a small test drive even though I fell in love with this bike's looks & super refined engine.The bike was well priced & had technologies more than any other bike.Booked the bike & said will be ready in 2 days.
Finally came the day i'm going to own my beast.Saw my beast waiting for me at the showroom,they were doing some finishing touch ups.Finally after some time,they finally handed over the keys to me & then I owned my Beast.
This is what happened two years back,now lets come to the present.
TWO YEARS OF SUZUKI GS150R
Today on 28/2/2010 I brought this bike.You might have observed me using the word 'BEAST' throughout this review to describe my bike,thats beacause it looks & feels like one,its huge size is one & unlike other bikes this bike has an Aluminium engine along a metal tank & also more metal less fibre is used in this bike.So the bike's build quality is solid & one of the safest bike to ride every similar to the Royal Enfield bikes.
Till now I have not faced any major complaints.Getting a mileage of 54km/L even at hilly terrains as I live in a high range area.Had done a maximum of 458km a day on my bike.There was no discomfort & the engine never becomes tired in long riding even above speeds of 80-100km/hr.I would like to say this is one of the best tourer bike avaiable in India now.The good mileage along with the huge tank that can store upto 19 litres of petrol & 6 gears of speed to cruise the road,its an increbile feeling this bike offers.The Dual Nitrox suspensions does well in bad roads & gives a comfort ride for both rider & pillion rider.I have achieved a top speed of 121km/hr,other GS150R owners have pushed to 135km/hr.Even though the intial pickup is low the real performance of this bike kicks up after 60km/hr,then this bike effortlessly reaches 100-115 km/hr.The XTP Technology enables such performance at mid & high range speeds & the Engine Balancer Technology(EBT) reduces the engine vibrations & thus no vibrations even at top speeds.
In this long run I have faced a minor complaint such as replacing of the switches as the bike was kept in rain,so make sure that u cover the switches with a plasitic in rainy conditions.Other than this no other complaints upto date.The Suzuki's Servicing is really good,all are well experiened & trained people though in some the servicing is really bad,I suggest you file a complaint against them at Suzuki Motorcycle India's website.Suzuki is very observent & will take take action at the quickest.
I'm fully satisfied with my bike,the bullet-proof engine of this bike will last for another 10years with less maintenance & complaints..I want to keep it.
If anyone is searching for a 150cc bike or a true value for money bike that you want to keep for yourselves for years,then always remember to include Suzuki GS150R in your list as this bike is of now one of the best 150cc bike at true price value.This bike is unique in its own way & is capable of calling itself 'A CLASS APART' comparing with the larger displacement bikes for it huge size & appeal.Hope you guys enjoyed reading my review.Do reply & give your suggestions.BIKES OWNED:
1)BAJAJ PULSAR 200NS (2012-
2)Kinetic ITALLINO BLAZE 165 (2007-
3)SUZUKI GS150R (2010-

I have seen mechanics cleaning the disc with greasy rag and touching it with oily or greasy hands.Originally posted by SparKot View PostStopped the bike by the roadside, saw oil leaks on disk setup checked brake fluid, looks OK. Ooops!!! them MF'ers.
Wash the disc thoroughly with shampoo or detergent to remove the grease or oil on it.

Your info is valuable, this is latest 2012 edition were all flaws are solved like rustings some points are there( , chaing cover , nuts)-Ignorable, visor loosening (new edition has totally different visor--major change) , still check it again and indicate SC in next service for tightening of all related parts.
As for vibes previously after 4K RPM , it was almost vibration less , but now they are contining above that range with lesser effect , specially at right foot pegs (tingling), sometimes i have to stop and scratch my foot palms
. I doubt engine resonance ( amplifcations perticulary)is hapening in accordance to muffler resonance( there is heavy vibrations at central part of the silencer @ideal 1500-3500- 5000 RPM .will do some research if time permitsto track it out.
Regarding performance , i have 20 yrs experience with 2 wheelers almost all bajaj products 100 cc cat , for me 150 cc was total udgradation
Had booked expensive
Honda Dazzy which has kick start issue with tiny battery, but due to attitude ( Honda supply chain as a whole) had high lead time , which is there USP
, at least they think
(Unicorn another great machine has 8 months even after 7 years of launch , Hyped , you can get it from so called subdealer with 8-10 K extra bucks same day, what a bussiness strategy
) , bajaj sells 30 -40% of total sells in this cat within 1 week lead time.Yamaha has 15 days (understandable with some good products , equally selling well with bajaj & TVS) i cancelled and got this white one in one stroke- though i am just 5.2 , 58 kg, just could not ignore the technology at this price ( GXR DNA) , comes from manufacturers of Busa , gixr , intruder & cars that put our nation on four wheels.
GS is in its class of its own, It is not sprinter like other bikes, but takes off smoothly (sounds like local train) , gradually picks up at faster pace and is breeze at speeds , this is actual requirement in todays traffic (safety).
R15 ( differnt class)can boast of performance, aggreed no comparision but at a price (Almost 50% for both updated models)
Fuel efficiency is class leading , i have acheived 54 Kpl in any driving condition (Mumbai peakTraffic) 59 lts till date with 3216 odo @ average speeds of 53 (stop go max @ 80 KMPH).i don't have any idea about other manufacturers actual figure ( may be better ), but with 149 kg , 13.8 bhp, 150 cc this should be best , not to consider comforts and safety this machine provides . Our dealer in Panvel near Mumbai had recieved 125 bookings for GS last month (they are surprised with this outcome
), where comfortable with access bookings.
I have not traveled on long distances yet due to hectic schedules , but some sub 100 kms with family at matheran , Lonavla.
Will plan a long journey soon . will keep informed .
