Yes Madhu,

Its just that I can't go <60kmph for long With just 100rs of petrol I can measure the mileage soon and then go back to my style of riding
Anyhow I always fill 1000rs of petrol and as soon i hit reserve I go for the filling again. This is the method I use(yes not the best way of measuring).

tank fill to tank fill is best way we can measure the real operated FE.

I am now riding with "No Mode"
The blinking light is somewhat irritating during night.So switched to No mode.
But I still couldn't understand how come i couldn't cross 50 mark!!

ECo mode should improve the mileage by large factor , no mode is least FE. you can drive on power mode to avoid blinking light, i usually paste bindi if i intend to cross 60 KMH for long.
My daily commute is around 40 kms of which 50% is highway ride(speed varies from 60-90 here), then 30 % medium traffic roads(speed till 60) then remaining 20% is pure gullies( with speed no more than 30 and usually will be in 3rd or 4th gear)

thats average driving condition,

Regarding oil change yes I will always change the oil @2k kms.
Infact just yesterday I changed the oil.
For the first time I did not change the oil with the SVC provided one and bought "Shell Advance AX3 Mineral". Need to see if I can find any difference from this.
Just one query regarding this oil, the oil says "All formulations meet: API SG and JASO MA." but I was under the impression that it should meet "JASO MA2". I checked this after the oil was changed and even the shell people were not aware of this standards.

Shell oil is good oil , you will feel the difference - at least Psychologically.

Mileage relies on several factors and the role of engine oil is some where close to 1 or 2 % at the max

my engine oil is 2700 kms old previously i got 42 and last week 46 and latest one is 45, am happy with it because i know thats the best mileage for any 150cc bike with the way i maintained it .

my last service was done almost 6 or 7 months / 2700 kms ago.

I tried enticer's full dome set and it was a headlight for joke. Output was pathetic.

Pls ensure in what mod you drive , eco mod should give figures above 50 easily , also check exact volume of fuel before starting.
If you are using mineral oil , please change it at earliest , i usually prefare 1500- 2000 kms for oil change ( being 150 cc and our GS has more moving parts), though 2.5 K is what manual suggest.

tank fill to tank fill is best way we can measure the real operated FE.

I am really not able to cross 50kmpl mark but with max speed of 80 i have achieved 45-48 before. But once or twice I open up the throttle as close to the ton mark(but rarely). Constant cruising of 70-80 is what I do daily.

Today I was washing my baby suddenly I seen that water get into my fuel tank from upper side

Place a plastic carrier bag over the tank mouth and close the lid before you wash the bike and remove it carefully when the washing is over. You can see water collected in the plastic cover.
Remove the water around the tank mouth with a piece of dry cloth.

guys are these leds suitable for our gs...

Yeah suitable one... There are plenty of them available starting from one LED,two,five,nine,24 etc for better illumination....

If you're looking for white color , dont get the local ones, get some branded ones like Bosch., Local ones will have bluish tone in their white color..

They'll cost more, but you'll get the perfect white color..

Thanks, bro....I'll switch to white in some days...btw is there any way to connect only the headlight portion to the rear light's line is at dc..can it be done bro.

Thanks, bro..i'll take care of it...

Should I sue Suzuki for providing this info in brochure and not telling this to the svc guys?

Thanks Madhu and Vikshe for the info.

@Vikshe
If not too much to ask can you just describe your riding style. Also what is your max speed in your daily commute.

I am really not able to cross 50kmpl mark but with max speed of 80 i have achieved 45-48 before. But once or twice I open up the throttle as close to the ton mark(but rarely).
Constant cruising of 70-80 is what I do daily.

Eco, Power and No mod or god mod as some others call it is not having any effect on the engine performance as the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) has in Hayabusa. Ours is a simple indicator reminding to either lower the engine speed or shift to upper gear for fuel efficiency and is helpful to a new biker.

Other conditions affecting the mileage being same, riding in any mode gives the same result. But it has a psychological effect of being well on some riders as the case of certain brands of engine oils. Their bikes are never running smoothly unless the preferred oil is filled but almost all are unable to identify the oil filled in the engine.
The suggested oil change interval is 4000 kms; not 2500 but almost all of us active here are changing it in every 2000-2500 kms.





Other problem is the air gaps in the tank while we fill petrol. It escapes when we tilt the bike and the fuel level goes down. That means the quantity of fuel to fill the tank differs each time.





Speed affects the mileage.
