Engine Balancer Technology in new Suzuki GS150r 2012 model

Hello friends
First thing is I really appreciate your comment to help me in selecting bike.
Here is the link I found about this issue.

SUZUKI GS150R, Review, Price, Parts, Accessories, Mileage, India, Engine Balancer missing in 2012 model - MouthShut.com

Hope some one sort out this issue fully.

Thanks again guys

Its a Fake review.If engine balancer technology is removed then vibrations in bike should be increased but its still same or less than before.I think suzuki has just removed it from specification as everyone knows about that technology is present in GS

Thing is when the choke is applied engine RPM will be higher than 1.4K and at a little bit high RPM clutch will play little easy manner so that shifting the gear will become Easy that is the thing he feels, So for Testing purpose those who are troubling in Hard Gear shift can do a small research by just increasing the RPM around 2K and then do shifting the Gear, may be i think that it will be smooth(Don't apply the choke and Ride the bike it will suck huge Fuel)

Other than this i cant think any gimmicks

Changing the SMD type LED's are much more difficulty,
you need atleast the following things for a proper work:
1. Micro solder(the one cell phone service people uses)
2. Infra-Red PCB work station
3.some basic Electronics knowledge
4. More Patience( if not things will go wrong)

And final thing is when replacing the SMD type LED's, should not Apply the Solder heat more then 3 seconds or else it will affect the life span of those LED's

but removing the LCD also is a risky, i had detached lots of nokia 1100 LCD's for inserting a colour image printed transparent OHP sheets between the LCD and the Polarizing plate (which will look like a colour display phone or display with a colour wallpaper)
And while trying so i had broken some LCD's accidentally so take some care while removing the LCD.

Note: cost of the speedo meter assembly is around : 2803/-

Its Suzuki they dont change any core components Easily

Bro I read that one need an engine wiping before changing the type of oil how to do it...bro...

GS Rocksss....![/QUOTE]

Engine wiping , you mean flushing , you don't require flushing , you can change mineral to semisynth to synthetic as regular oil change , synthetic to mineral may require flushing , i hope somebody may highlight in a better way.

Somebody had posted internal circuitry of digital consol 2/3 months ago.

Agreed , LED specs , make ,part no should be matched ,LED require reflow oven processing with 120 deg under 3 sec.

Its digital consol ( and majestic) , cost justified

Engine wiping means engine flushing which is not advisable in a new bike. Instead, do a double change of oil filter and oil. It is safer.


These kind of purposive rumors were spread earlier about the rusting of the fuel tank but the tank of my bike which was bought on 27/1/2010 is still going on without any problem after 28 months.
Another friend there is extremely sure that the engine balancer is not there in his new bike as, as per his claim, the sound from the new bike is different and pickup is less.
It is true that the sound is a little different and it is due to the redesigned muffler of the bike.
The pickup has actually increased due to the modified gear ratios of the bike. It has increased in every gear as the final drive ratio now is 42/14 against the earlier 41/14.
Removal of the engine balancer results huge vibration of the bike as manas34 said.
If you still doubt, ask the SC engineer or any good mechanic there but not the salesman or salesgirl as they know nothing about the technology of the bike.


And rarely replaced.

Hi Guys...I saw a HID kit on Ebay...around 1200 INR, Claims its plug and play...can someone confirm if this will work..

My experience with TB handle bar didn't yield the expected results.
Expectation was/is:
The handle bar should be close to my arms giving me relaxed hold on the handle bar.

Output:
Though it helped me with relaxed hold on handlebar, manoeuvring wasn't easy and felt loose grip and control. (Rs. 450 for TB handlebar + Rs. 400 for handle bar weights(20 packs of kings wasted ))
Tried with Shogun and RD handlebar too(Had spare bars):
RD's: Comfortable as the stock one wrt manoeuvring, grip and control.
But no increase in height of the handlebar, just too wide. RVMs were like for someone else to view .
Shogun: Comfortable as the stock one wrt manoeuvring, grip and control.
Again no increase in height of the handlebar.
Still waiting for a resolution.

Hello my friends, You really help me out on this.
Now I will be 100% sure for GS 150r, previously I was driving Karizma (first model slots- amazing machine)
So weight is not a issue for me . Only thing bothering me was that balancer technology issue.
Thanks again Punarvasu for your explanation on this.
I will asap will book this partner.
Little bit excited

Are you sure of 70 Kmpl , this milege is reserved for 100 cc bikes , any tips to achieve this efficiency

Guys, can you update me on the feed back about the 2012 GS 150R? Have they arrested the tank rusting problem? And more importantly, have they cut any corners in the new bike? Is it true they have done away with the engine balancer?

I may be in the market for a 150cc bike shortly and this bike is my first choice.

Dear Friend , i am using 2012 model since 5 months , no rusting till date, please ensure you visit ASC and meet service manager were you propose to book your GS, they will surely answer your quiries , honestly.
There seems slight changes in muffler , cosmetic changes , but weight , size , specs remains same.

Ya but on sleepy days I will try a kick start in the bike to see if I wake up

I agree with you both. What I did was a mistake. Its not really advisable to try that. But I just wanted to know how that impacted the gear shifting. What firegun says makes sense. Thanks!

Bro, the one that is mentioned in eBay is 8000K. Never buy anything other than 4300K if you really intend to use if for better lighting. Everything else is just disco lights. They will not give good illumination under different climatic conditions, cause headache and are big time cop magnets.
