Hey guys, after 3 rd service my gs seems to be more free running ( not free reving), is it a common or a problem after 4,800 km odo. earlier it was acting like all parts are tight.
I also feel as if load carrying capacity is decreased , RPM indictors woubles at 1500 rpm ( warm engine), flickers a bit, how to make it stable.

Are pehle kyu nahi Bola....even I would have come.....

Which parts of your bike are loose now? Slightly increase the idling RPM of the bike. This will solve the tachometer problem.

Aare i went for taking my Palios spare parts...
Projector wasn't in mind.....
will be going there tomorow noon....

frnd i am using my bike with cpr6hsa spark plug and now my mileage is only 42kmpl previously i got min 50kmpl is it spark plug fault or shud i retune my carburetor ?

Thanks for your attention again , it just feels engine too free , i mean internally . i hope its no big deal or quiet normal for bike to be free though, just for you guys who take efforts and care for others .
This bike behaves differently every time , but curiously makes the owner smile , thats sure.

hi guys..this is krishna...i have been a keen follower of this thread!
i have completed my run in (3000kms) !
my idea is to drain the present oil(shell ax7) and pour a good synthetic oil(20w40)..please pour in tour thoughts..is it worth a try?please tell me as to which synthetic oil would suit my bike best? and please give me the options!! and please let me know about the best 20w40 mineral oils available in the market!

was it stock plug or recently replaced? who replaced it?

jeezy creezy SVCs

Castrol Power 1, 15W-40 SS is used in my bike from the second servicing of my bike which has covered 23200 kms now and is in excellent condition.
If ready to test SS oil, try it which costs Rs.319/- per liter. Be sure that you buy it from the authorized dealer.

CPR7HSA is the recommended sparkplug for GS. But I don’t think it is the reason for the low FE. Anyway, check the FE properly now, replace the sparkplug and check it again.
Returning the carburetor may not give the FE you are expecting.

Hope it will appear soon.

Hi All,
I am new in this place and this is my first post.

Since the last two months I was planning to replace my 16 year old HH CD100. This old horse still runs fine and I never had any serious issues except replacing the worn out parts due to old age. But while riding, I always felt a bit of an outcast with all the crowd zooming past me on their mean machines. My machine lacked all the blood rushing adrenaline, pickup and show. I saw how the pretty new bikes (most often the pulsars) let down their owners on the road because of malfunction. On an average I would see at least 1 pulsar being pushed by the owner instead of the other way round. This may be because their numbers on the road is huge compared to other bikes. Seeing this gave me the satisfaction that no matter what at least my granny machine was young at her heart. It never gave any trouble on road except punctures.

But then finally I thought of moving up the food chain. Thought of leaping from 100cc cat to 350cc beasts. Yes, the bull was my first choice specially the classic version. Pondered for a long time over it and finally moved it out of my list as I wanted primarily a commuter bike for office and the bull seemed a difficult beast to tame in the city traffic where u need to take advantage to every small gap to move ahead and escape the jam.
Second choice, Honda Shine. I heard the mileage was exceptional so thought of getting it....was trying to play safe. But something just didn't seem right. Didn't like the style.

After all the confusion I realized I need something which looked stylish and gave VFM. And then began the daily browsing.

Yamaha SZ-R got me attracted. I liked the style but was not sure about its mileage. Went to showroom had a test ride, liked it more. But smthing still stopped me from booking. While coming out of the showroom I met a new owner of a month old SZ-R. Asked him how was his experience. Boint blank he said, "Don't buy this, the parts are delicate and poor mileage". This got me a little unnerved and I left the showroom without booking.

Still more browsing and then I finally landed in this part of xbhp. Suddenly I realized I had completely forgotten suzuki. Visited their site and the more I read about this machine called GS150r the more I got hooked to it. Asked a few of my colleagues about this bike. Some were surprised. Some never had heard about this bike. Some suggested get a pulsar. Again I felt unsure. So I went to a showroom and did a test drive. I was love at first touch. The moment I sat on it, I liked it. The feel during the test ride was awesome. Sine I am 5'11, loved the height of the bike, my CD100 always felt too short for me.
Went though this thread and found that most of you are not only liking the bike but are also crazy about it. Checked in mouthshut and the recommendations were assuring. Took a week to go read though some of your experience and finally I took the leap of faith.

Got my GS150r white today from Aryan Suzuki, Whitefield, Bangalore. Took one of my friend while taking the delivery. He loved every moment as a pillion while we were heading home. I loved the road presence of the bike. Did a 30k run with my friend and we felt very happy, he as a pillion and me as the rider.
Felt like I have been transported from the Jurassic age to the present age while comparing the comfort level with CD100. The best thing I like is the front panel with all those digital meters and the smoothness of the engine.

When I finally parked my new one besides my old bike, I felt bad. Felt like I have ditched my old dependable wife for a new fancy girlfriend. But then nothing lasts for ever. Hope I get over my feeling for my old bike. Sorry my CD100. I ended up having a mixed feeling, bit sad for my old one and happy for the new one.
And a huge thanks to all of you who helped me in picking up this bike.
Sorry for this long post.

Hearty welcome to this family of GS owners who, as you said correctly, are somewhat crazy about their bike.
And I am sure that you have selected the best 150 cc bike in our market.

Welcome Board asidnayak,

a white GS looks great, but am sure you can take extra care for the dust attracting color.

the bike you selected again is also a good work horse that goes good for another dozen of year(s)

@ SriKi.GSpian, hope you got my reply in Engine oil thread.

tell me howzz the AX7 (shell) oil and how many kms you done with that.

what factor(psychological or phenomenal sound / feeling) made your mind to go for the kill (engine oil change).

its almost 7+ months since i changed the oil last time crossed 2000+ kms with motul 15W - 50 mineral oil

a 15w-50 is good for most of the indian climatic condition, where as this rare grade mineral costs you around 220 rupees



@ punarvasu we all know it that no authoritative or doctorate in engine oil; we are all learning from either mistakes, or by sharing knowledge
