Thanks to magesh and vikhyath bro for help..

Friends may I know which of the both amsoil or motul full synthetic oil are better and upto what kms they can last.......

Engine Balancer...

Vaibhav,

I too had the same question before buying the bike. I sent a mail to Suzuki on their website, not expecting any reply. Then I had my query posted on this forum, and some of the senior members advised me correctly. But a few days later, I got a call from guess who...?? the Suzuki boffins themselves. One of the engineer spoke to me from their manufacturing plant, and said "the engine balancer technology is very much present from day 1 is present in the 2012 model as well(i guess this was the issue on the mouthshut.com website) and will continue to be there till the production of the bike stops" I was pretty pleased ... Bought the bike within a 1 or 2 days of this conversation.

GS owner's from bangalore,

Please advise a SVC which many feel is a good one, as my 1st service is due in a week.

Check the chain slack, if it is tight or loose it causes vibes.

That is awesome, i was always wondering why would no one(Motorbike manufacturers) in India has ever adapted belt transmission(exemption Kinetic Luna).

PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED.[/QUOTE]

all scooters / cvt mopeds require belt drive as they have CVT ( continuously varieble transmision) whih is automatic in simple terms, which have pressure discs holding the belt and with speed due to centrifuge varies the diametric peripheri towards final drive.but because of tension( rubber belt & high streessed springs there is high rolling resisitance ( try pushing Luna , it will be heavier than pushing bullet) , which converts to power losses , chain drive is much simpler and less rolling resisitance that too due to friction only. cost and weight are almost similar . scooters have different arrangement ( centrifugal clutch operated through belt drive- engine-clutch), which detaches engine from the wheel

Belt should have grooves matching both pulies .

It will be intaresting if someone tries with bikes ( in mumbai somebody has altered bullet with belt drive ), to start with GS will be great , i am confident it will eliminate all vibes to zero like cars whatever is left over in already smooth bike like GS.

Some very famous bikes like the BMW R1200GS have a sealed shaft drive for transmission because of the reason that its maintenance free. But the possibilities of being able to incorporating it into the GS150R are very few

One more thing , belt drive mostly require good enclusure , our stock chain covers will require replacement as per size of pulley and belt , do not compare with H D bikes they use expensive parts and designed to show off all possible parts (thats there trademark) , open belt drive is bad option in India , we possibly will require frequent belt change if exposed to earthly (indian )conditions which actually overlast metal chains.

No way , this is like reengineering the whole bike , atleast in power plant - transmission , suspension , linkages , engine layout & mounting are diffrent in shaft driven vehicles , compare with back wheel driven 4 wheelers like trucks,jeeps. extremly expensive.

I was waiting for some updates from you on Joeling the GS. Thanks for updating. I guess you need some more tuning in a few places to get the perfect setup. Anyways, Joel can do it. Do keep us updated.

As for HID, you must convert the bike to DC. There is one shop near Lalbagh who can do it. And HID, get it from Navnish as one member already mentioned. He is on xBHP and a few other forums but I am not sure how active he is. His shop is near HAL Stage 3 IIRC.

This is his shop's FB page. You might want to have a look.



To get the least attention from cops, get a Bixenon 4300K HID without the projector. They will have no clue that you have fitted HID. Anything else is a cop magnet.

I used to ride the same way and would get the same mileage. As I had reported earlier, after the first service mileage dropped by 10 KMPL. I feel significant jerking in the 1st and 2nd gear. I am 100% sure my bike has been tuned by the SVC to run rich. I need to get it tuned properly during the second service which is almost due.

Arul sir your mods on the bike is inspiring! So many things you are doing! I never knew our place had such skilful mechanics. Or are these DIY?

One question to you. What is the advantage of going for a belt drive?

KM, trust me you cannot do more harm than installing a naked chain cover which is basically a no chain cover. So much dust and dirt get accumulated that the life of the chain reduces, requires frequent cleaning, lubricating and adjustment. Other than just the looks, it pretty useless IMHO.

Bro, can I know from where you got the Sirac? I have been looking for the same. How much was the resale value of the old tyre?

For the vibrations, check this link. It has the solution. You need to add a washer. That's all.

For me Belt type is best AFAIK

Yes, i too sure that it will eliminate the chain noise

Shaft drive in GS is not possible AFAIK

Thanks i agree

Only problem i was thinking right now is, how to fix the speed sensor when converted to belt drive

Didnt checked it thoroughly,,But the sensor should be a proximity type which senses metals infront of it at a distance of 2/4/8/15mm based on its sensing range..

Speed is measured with the help of interval between each pulses (interval b/w each links) recieved ..

To cross check , take the sensor out and move a metal piece in and out slowly (like TESTER's edge) .. If it shows some value., then it's very easy to incorporate in belt drive system,.By creating projecting points on the pully to which the sensor should sense., Distance b/w each projecting point is the same distance b/w the each link's gap..

Thanks

Hi, guys ......
May I know is this engine oil good for our bike..If yes I am going to purchase it today.
Motul 300v 4T Factory line
Welcome to Motul

My Gs is also giving 51-56 kmpl but didn't got 60 above..
How you guys manage to get so..
