    Your GS is probably the highest run in the forum. Good to see the reliability. So many KM done with so less part replacements and mileage still intact. Good going.
    If the company provides a rear disc brake then they need to provide a better tyre. The current one skids like crazy with drum brakes itself. So mostly they wont as the current tyre is pretty cheap and it lasts really long.



    I weigh close to 100 KG. In the Eco mode, the bike does not touch 100. Or if it does by some slope then it feels really out of breath. In power, its so easy to touch 100 and cruise in it. If I select the no mode after Eco, then it struggles to touch 100. In no mode after power, it cruises at 100 with ease. So I still think these change the ignition mapping.
    hello freinds ,
    i also used to belive that these power and eco modes not change any thing other than blink light but after 3 years today i experianced that it changes mapping in cdi ,today i am with pillion waighted more than 90kgs ..and switched to power mode and seriously experiance was much better than everyday ..everyday i struggle for power and today it felt much easiar .

        My 12000 km old bike givingme anxious moments with Bike starting when switched off at signals. This is not occurring regularly, like one in five times.

        When i press the ignition button it gives no response with no sound from starter motor.( she comes to life in one kick)

        I shortlisted few potential causes
        1) Faulty engine kill switch

        2) faulty starter motor

        3) Battery ( but i ride my bike every day and i m sure my bike has one of the loudest horn)

        4) Faulty wire of joint which connects the starter motor

        5) faulty clutch setting


        I really have no confidence on SVC guys to show patience to diagnose the problem as its happening rarely. so want to find it out myself

        So friends plz help me to find out the root cause of the problem.

          1. Check the battery in the morning with a multimeter and ensure the voltage is above 12.4 or get the specific gravity of the electrolyte checked at the SC. Another easier way is honking the horn in the morning and listen its sound without starting the bike. Even if the battery is not causing this starting problem, checking the level of charging and cleaning the terminals is a good practice.

          2. Clean the starter switch, engine kill switch and the switch on the clutch lever with WD-40.

          This will solve the problem; I hope.

            A few days i too had the starter problem. So took my bike to a lical mechanic he told me will have to change the battery. So took it to another mechanic nad he told me the water level is too low in the battery. He charged the same and also filled up the water level. Now it is fine. Also the throw of my headamp has increased.

            Also what point should we keep in the and check when giving our bike for serviving.

              Buddy first get your battery checked from the local mechanic. The other day i had kept my bike battery for charging i drove my bike without the same. All things worked except headlights. So i think maybe the battery is the issue.

                @newfan,

                Looks like you're not the only GS owner facing this problem. Though I lived with it for 4 months, it's a very minor issue and can be fixed by SC guys. I suppose your battery is in good condition. The problem in my case was with the starter switch that gets activated only when we squeeze the clutch lever / engage the clutch. Notice the thick black wire that lies midway between the clutch cable and the handlebar. If you pull out the other end of this cable, you get access to plugs. The problem in your case could be this cable or the plugs. Get it checked at an automotive electrician if your regular ASC couldn't fix this!

                    Used to have similar issue in my slingshot, not sure about GS but my bike needs clutch held even if the bike is in neutral, there is a switch at the clutch lever to ensure clutch is held, this switch might malfunction occasionally causing self not to work,sometimes releasing the clutch a tiny bit helps,any way mine was fixed in first service.

                        Thanks everyone,

                        I got my battery checked up at a Battery dealer, He told battery its perfect.

                        I would take all the potential causes which u all suggested and sit with SVC mech to rectify this.

                        I ll let u all know soon

                        Thanks again

                          Is WD-40 the same spray which was used earlier to clean tape-recorder head


                          I am really thrilled to find that GS-150R mileage poll follows a normal distribution curve!!

                            Yes; I guess.

                              No . Isopropyl alcohol was used for tape head cleaners. WD-40 is a proprietory formulation that consists of a water-displacing (hence the WD in the name) solvent and light lubricant oil in an aerosol propelant . A similar product in our markets is zorrik . You'll find it in large hardware stores .

                                I will surely check the diagram at the service centre and the link was a good help. Thank you Punarvasu! :-)

                                You are right, the diagram is not provided. I have checked the tool box thoroughly and am posting a picture of my new, next generation model in few minutes. :-D
