Buddy, now 300km mark has been crossed, and the bike is getting smoother with every KM I travel, the loudness of the engine has reduced manifolds and the acceleration has also been increased considerably..........Originally posted by gmagesh14 View PostI too wont hope it should happen in ur bike..
Just shared my experience when I used it..
Please share your experience with this oil after 200-300kms of usage..
I guess those guys might only be driving downhill the entire time and took the bike back on the top in a truck.Originally posted by FREE-RIDER View Post

Dry the bike and apply oil over the metal parts and wax your bike., they will help upto certain level temporarily... Repeat the process when oil is washed out..Originally posted by Vikshe View Post
Simple but effective..

This bike will easily deliver an avg of 50kmpl for a normal riding of speeds at 60-70 kmph.. Anything above or below is in your hands only..Originally posted by FREE-RIDER View Post
I'm getting 52-55kmpl consistently, I neither a slow rider nor a fast or rash rider..
Strike out FE from your check list and check other things which suits your needs or not...

You will get more than 56kpl smoothly , GS loves smooth driving and its delight to glide on roads .50 kpl should be fine for insane driving with gs.Originally posted by FREE-RIDER View PostComment

i would be applying WD40 on rustableOriginally posted by gmagesh14 View PostDry the bike and apply oil over the metal parts and wax your bike., they will help upto certain level temporarily... Repeat the process when oil is washed out..
Simple but effective.. parts , which i have used on my previous bikes , more parts were prone for rusting in those bikes like rims , spokes, silencer , suspension , handle bares , saree gaurd , carriage , all had crome plating and wd 40 was very effective . i never used antirust coatings which destroyes chrome finish.
Only worry is silencer part , though powder coated may tend to start rusting .Comment

Hi Guys!!
Hello guys..i am a new member to xBhp and this is my first post.
I got my black beauty around 2 months back. I am just loving it.
Had a couple of small problems now and then like "swing arm noise", "gears getting stuck", "fish tail skidding on wet roads" etc.The latest one was slipping of gears & gear indicator going blank.
Had to go to service center a couple of times and they took care of the problems pretty good i must say.
Well the problem i am facing now is the ignition going off all of a sudden automatically when the engine is cold during ride.
I am going to explain this problem to service center guys on my second service which is due next week.Any suggestions on what could be done till then? will using choke for cold start and giving sometime for the engine to warm up before ride solve my problem?

New GS150R
Hi Guys,
I would be going to book the GS150R in a day or two. I need your help.
Are there anythings that I need to check when I place the order or take the delivery.
Should I change the tyres to better ones since the stock ones are prone to skidding in the rains?
What oil comes in loaded while delivery? Is it mineral? If not, where can I get mineral oil?
There are umpteen questions.
Any advice is welcome.
Bajaj Super 75000,
Suzuki Fiero 105000,

Nothing as such to check while placing the order if you have done a good test ride and satisfied yourself. However check the bike thoroughly before taking the delivery.
Changing the new tires won't be necessary unless you are planning to really take on wet and slippery roads very often.Biking = FreedomComment

After a 30-60 min run on my GS150R, the rear ally wheel heats up. The vehicle has run about 200kms. Is this normal...? Or does it go away after some kms on the ODO..?
Thanks

Its b'coz of the tight rear brake.
Keep it bit loose so the wheel can rotate freely and also vehicle brakes properly.
After the service they will have tightened it and this causes it.Comment

Not taking the bike to local mechanic nor will i mind about the engine noise since service engineer has said its normal and bikes under warranty.
Last and final question about engine sound, does the bike sound like pulsar after 5.5k rpm or above 80kmph? (pulsar kind of sound but not so loud)Comment

Those problems are usual for a new bike, Glad your request/complaints are neatly sorted out by your SC.. I wish everyone the same..
Regarding the ignition OFF, check the idle rpm after running 5-10kms ,if it's less than 1500rpm range then adjust it to match 1500rpm, you can refer 6-24 of Bike Manual..
Note:: At cold conditions bike will struggle to keep the idle., It's normal..
Check for any scratches/dents and other quality issues before booking and taking delivery.. That'll be enough..Originally posted by Paraglider View PostHi Guys,

Regarding tyres, depending upon the place you live change it accordingly.,
For a normal commuting purpose, it wont disappoint even a single bit..
OT: This is the same tyre which comes in Karizma/cbz/unicorn for a long long period..
Till 80k,if you give the throttle gradually the engine/exhaust sound will be same as like at the 50kmph speed.. But if you ride it like a racer, sound will increase since the engine will work hard to reach the rpm quickly than normal..Originally posted by 0nanu0 View Post
Sound is not like pulsar or rtr,. It's something like 1st gen Fiero....Last edited by gmagesh14; 06-08-2012, 09:01 PM.Comment
