HI everyone,
Well i did 100kms in my new gs..

..these are the things that i noticed after 100kms

1)the gears was hard initially (ie about 50kms) but then after the engine gets heated up its smooth...
2) i get a little vibrating sound when i accelerate above 3500rpm ..i think its common
to all..
3)head lights are disappointing .i asked the svc about dc conversion but they dont have any idea abt that

nothing much ....its really a awesome ride thanks to suzuki as well as the all thread members, coz your review made me to choose gs....

next i need some help from you flocks regarding what speeds to be in run in period;

1)i usally accelerate above 2.5krpm to 3.5krpm..at speeds upto 50km in 6th gear (feels its too less).. is it a ideal for my first 1000km??

2)i feel like shifting gear before the white led starts blinking... is it good practice to do so??coz the led starts blinking only after 4k rpm i believe..and that makes speeds above 60kms

plzz suggest me an ideal speed to keep the engine healthy in run in period??

Your complaints will be proccessed after your 1st service onwards..

For shifting gears, you can shift gears at 2.5k rpm itslef

on a flat road or ideally you can shift at 3krpm or above.. You dont need to wait for the LED to blink.. (Depending upon the road I'll be at 6th gear from 28kmph onwards)
The speed you've mentioned is ideal for runin.. Do vary the speeds and shift all gears regularly.. Dont do a constant speed..It's not ideal to ride at a particular speed..

Where on the bike are these scratches? Usually applying rubbing compounds like Formula 1 SCRATCH OUT or sanding with 2000 or more grit wet sandpaper are tried to remove scratches; but it is not successful if scratches are deep.

I too had one at the tank.

, a cycle parked near my bike fall over the tank and it scraped the tank and it peeled off the powdercoat for a size of 25paise coin.,,

Will be doing painting patch work and apply clear coat..

Congrats on your new bike.
The vibrations will gradually disappear as the odometer ticks ahead. For me, the vibrations disappeared after 500kms. Until then, think of it another gear shift indicator. Upshift when you feel those vibes.

Suzuki mechanics wondered to see my DC GSR.

Hi friends,

Today i gave my fully mod DC gsr for service in riyaz suzuki mumbai. All the mechanics surrounded the bike and looking in to ape rr and the ammeter which i have fitted in my bike. All where checking it functionality. That was very nice to see...

My bike odo is 14500. So I asked them to repack the wheel bearing. but they are not ready to do. instead, they ask me to change it for new. But i denied...
Friends, pls suggest me is it good to change or its enough to repack the grease in it ?

Also i asked them to change the oil in front fork. but they didnt do. What the heck, this riyaz suzuki not doing all these i dont know.

Removing the bearing itself causes damage to it. This is why they asked you to replace it instead of repacking grease.
Cannot understand why they refused to replace fork oil. Perhaps may be because it is a time consuming job or may be because the forks are in good condition.

@vikhyath: Thank You for the reply. Regarding welding, found out the same. Regarding Illumination, i will try to balance.

@Vikshe:Thank You for the reply. Points noted.

@Kripscorp.

Whats the use of an ammeter in a GS??? I've seen em on Bullets, but still not sure about their significance.

It is of no use as such in stock electric setup. And many dont know what an ammeter does and that might be one reason, ammeters are not fitted in new age bikes.

The reason why I have fitted ammeter in gsr is to monitor the entire electric and charging system of the vehicle. I have converted my gsr to full DC. planning to upgrade to HID, 2 fog lamps and also roots windtone horn. All these mod consume much electric power. All these electric usage can be monitored in real time using an ammeter. Above all, it will show the battery charge status.

While starting the vehicle using self starter, the ammeter needle deflects 2 amps towards the -ve side. And after engine is started, the needle deflects to +ve side of about 3 amps. This means, battery is charging as it accepts 3 amps of current. Within 3 mins of ride. the needle slowly comes towards 1 amp which means, battery is fully charged. This enures me RR works fine, battery is also fully charged.

Moreover, its a fun for me to see the needle dangling towards +ve and -ve directions in idle rpm.
