    Apart from the technical aspect, the cost difference is not proportionate to the difference in change intervals. Most FS oils cost 3-4 times more than mineral oils or double that of SS oils but the change interval is just 2-3 times more than mineral oils.

    FS oils are also some of the most duplicated commodities so unless you are experienced enough to differentiate the real deal from fake, you could be cheated into buying duplicate/adulterated oil which apart from monetary loss, also damages the engine affecting engine life.

    Using good quality FS oil might be good but there are more VFM alternatives. The number of people looking to change to FS prompted me to post this. Some people also have a belief that engine oils boost performance.
    Am using Motul 15 W - 50 Oil Thats mineral and its already ran 2700 kms

    such kind of rare good grade mineral is great for different season temperatures,

    FS is too smooth and it will not let the engine core parts to kiss each other to settle down smoother as a result, here most of us wont recommend FS during run in period.


    thats true good brand mineral oil costs around 250 rupees where as a good trusted brand FS will cost you close to 900 and its good to go for another 5000 kms

    250 rupees mineral oil 2500 kms * 3 = cost spent 750 rupees for 7500 kms
    850 rupees FS oil for 5000 kms approx.

        Matching pulleys , mounting a pulley to rear wheel should be easy , pulley towards transmission will be tedious due to space constraint , complexity at shaft and in GS adjusting the speedo - sensor will be hectic.
        Wow,nice idea guys, I hope you all will get success..

          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.[/QUOTE]

          Now it makes lot of sense.
          Thanks a lot Vikshe.

            A question to owners of the GS150R here. Does the current version of GS150R come with full DC electricals ? If not, what does it cost to switch to full DC and will it void warranty ? Same goes for installing 55W halogen lamps.

              Stock bike is not Full DC.,

              Yes, warranty will be void (Battery, worst case for engine if not done properly).

              It costed around Rs.1700 for the materials.,
              Did it by myself and so no labour charge..

              Will cost extra Rs.500 if done outside + Price of 55w Halogen...

                Could you explain the part in bold ? Didn't understand what you meant there.

                And one more thing. How are service centers in Bangalore ? Any good ones that don't have the habit of cheating or charging for things that are not needed ? Do any of the service centers allow you to be present throughout the servicing process ?

                  Changing to Full DC (any mods in electrical circuit like adding higher wattage bulbs ) will void the warranty of Battery.,

                  If any things got changed/damaged in Pulse Generator coil while rewinding,(which is near the stator coil) it'll affect the ignition circuit which leads to the warranty of the engined to be voided..

                  Clear?

                  Sorry friend I'm a Chennai guy and no idea about B'lore SC's... Others will assist you on this...

                    I have tried Aryan Suzuki so far, one at Domlur and the other one is in Thubarahalli, Whitefield. I was never charged except for the oil, oil filter and misc like Rs.40.

                    For decent service as per manual, go to Thubarahalli and Domlur one is good for bigger problems.
                    I have seen few on the forum recommending Rajajinagar one and few others about Apple Auto at Devegowda petrol bunk and BTM layout. It is as per their experience and understanding wrt those SVCs.

                    If you want to stay throughout the service process, you can request them and they should be able to allow you. They will ask you to sit in the visitor's area but for sure they will not allow you in the service area.



                    Most of the guys here believe DIY and avoid visits to SVC for service.

                      Round headlight Dome on GS150

                      Atlast i got my round dome on my GS 150.


                      Brain storming on better options to mount instrument console and mounting the dome closer to the fork tubes.

                            looks great but yeah, the dome needs to be closer. i've been wanting to do something like this since i got the bike.

                              IMO the tall handlebar looks out of place there. And I'm so used to seeing the bike with the crash guard that I feel something is missing without it. Looks scaringly bare



                              @dip097-What were the steps involved? Also include some pictures taken during the day in bright sunlight.

After soldering the new LEDs in place of old ones you have to solder the LCD back in position which require a lot of soldering skill and there is a risk of damaging the speedo assy itself.Reversing LCD is very easy.All you have to do is tear off the old sticker (actually it is known as polarization filter) and stick a new one upside down.

                                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



                                +1
                                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/-

                                Removing the speedo assy from the bike can be difficult because some screws/nuts won't come off so you have to cut it off.After you have removed the speedo from the bike, dismantle it.The RPM meter can be removed by unscrewing four screws in the back and unhooking it.Then desolder the LCD from the board, for this use a desoldering pump.Now you could access the LEDs.Desolder them and solder new ones.While soldering LEDs connect them in right direction.Never connect the LEDs in reverse, because it will reduce it's life. Use a multimeter to find plus and minus.

                                For reversing the LCD, remove the sticker from the top of the LCD and clean it.After cleaning it place it back upside down.You won't need to apply any glue because it can be jammed between the LCD and RPM meter

                                LEDs that i used are white(for RPM meter) and blue/cyan(for LCD)

                                Now you could assemble every thing back
