Re: Suzuki GS150R

What exact mileage are you getting????

refer to the tips in comment above me, two most important points are
1) tire pressure...
{front tire --25 and rear tyre should be 29( 33 if u have a pillion). i always have 33 in my rear tyre as i occasionally do have pillion.}

2) YOur riding skills
{ maintain an rpm of 4, i generally cruise on 5th and 6th gear once i reac speed of 40kmph and do no go beyond the speed of 65kmph, i am getting a mileage of minimum 49-51kmpl by doing so, and always keep in mind its a 150cc bike, anything above 44-45kmpl is a bonus, you should be satisfied even if you get 44-45 kmpl mileage }

yup i agree bike rattles if you throttle up fast. what i have recently started doing is, after a gear upward shift, i dont accelerate, i hold the throttle for a second or two and than gradually accelerate, try it once and see the difference in rattling :-p.

regarding jumping and wobling i can say that yes i do feel it wobbles more than needed, but i just ignore it, i dont have my hands or wrists paining

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Hi sagarupadhyay,


Well frankly ,before I gave my bike for the 3rd service I was getting anything from 46-48kmph...and thats when I used to acc hard!!!...after the service it suddenly dropped to around 26kmph.I took it back to the service centre and after a bit of tuning,they said everything has been corrected. But as of now I am getting around 38-40.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Today I took my Bike for service at SSC. Good news is that I got AMC for just RS.475. Four free services, 50% off on labor charges and 3%off on parts for an whole year.

BAD news is, When the new Disc Pads where installed, the tire jammed.First, they said if the it does not gets smooth in two days bring it back in. After riding for couple of hours i realized that it was the same. so I went to service center again. They checked the Disc pads, rubbed them and tried again, they even tried removing a bit of brake oil, it did not caused any effect. They told me that they will open up the Calipers and check the Pistons. And now i will get my bike tomorrow.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Thanks Sagar,
I will try the tip about acceleration after a gear shift.

I went for my second service today. They had asked me to leave the bike for one more day for some more troubleshooting. I think it is normal in GS150R especially the more recent ones. I think I should just ignore and get used to the way it rides. Maybe if I ride more, my arms and wrists would get used to this.

Please ask them to replace the break oil. Taking out break oil is not good and the break efficacy will be lost in the long run. Alternate solution to your problem is trying a different set of break pads. Generally the gap between the pads and the disc is too less. If the new break pads are bulged or even has a slight manufacturing defect, this situation may arise. Ask them to try a new & different set of pads and check the results.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

guys i need some help i am planning to come from hyderabad to pune by riding bike can some tell me where i should i post to join the touring groups so that i can plan my journey accordingly

Re: Suzuki GS150R

What they did is that they replaced one side pad with old one and other is still the new. One thing I'm facing is now is slow breaking and some times the break Jams have to press the lever twice thrice to release it.

Re: Suzuki GS150R



whats the rpm of your engine is idle, as in when u start the bike?? does it lie between 1 to 1.2??

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Not the ideal condition. The breaks are essential parts of the bike. Let them not tinker with this too much. Get them to replace both side pads with new ones. You deserve new pads as you have paid for it. Also get them to bleed out the brake oil completely from the pump and the tube to remove any air and please get them to refill the oil completely.

My bike's 2nd Free Service - update

Total kms done = 1980 when giving it for service

ASC: Aryan Suzuki, Whitefield.

Duration from purchase = 3 months

Complaints and actions taken=
1. The headlamp assembly gives out a clank sound when I drive on level differences in the road. Something is out of place inside. Tightened and sorted.
2. Clutch and gear shift is tight. Greasing and chain adjustment. Clutch feels much smoother now and gear shift has also improved.
3. Wobbling. They claim that the tyre was incorrectly fitted on to the wheel and it was refitted. Does nto resolve the issue. Jumping and wobbling persists.
4. Engine noise is definitely smoother now. Lesser rattling noises and lesser vibrations
5. Rear alloy wheel heating has reduced. Probably as the break shoes wear out, this issue is getting resolved.

Still pending:
1. Wobbling and jumping needs to be tested and checked for any available resolution at all. This is something abnormal in bikes though common in GS 150.
2. Headlamp focus and mirror adjustments (minor and I forgot to mention about this during service).
3. Reduce idling speed. Currently it is set to 1700 RPM. Definitely needs to be reduced. This will improve FE and also make the engine a bit more smoother.

Cost of Service: Rs. 51. Yes that's correct. They charged me for some battery service and consumables. Not sure what the consumables are.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

After a lot of search, online reviews and following this thread...finally got the GS 150 R....

Here are some snaps of my bike....



Do give some suggestions and tips for the initial months of riding....

Re: Suzuki GS150R

SUperb pics, superb colour. Here are some tips

1) do not let bike rpm go above 4 for initial 1500kms.
2) Follow service schedule as advised by the service manuel
(dont skip these, if ur bike has any spares and parts problems, the svc guys wont replace it for free if you have not followed prescribed schedule of servicing or if you give your bike outside for servicing, atleast give the bike for servicing till 6th service).
i had a spare part problem and svc guys replaced it for free because my bike had followed full service scheduled.

1.7 rpm is way way toooooo much, mine is 1000rpm when idle(when bike is not hot). 1500rpm is maximum that you should be keeping

Re: Suzuki GS150R

rpm is all fine. At 1.1 cold start but after some time sets at 1.5. I am planning to take it back to the service centre to do a carb tuning again.

Re: Suzuki GS150R


Congrats Satish for your new ride .. excellent pics.. . . and it looks like you are using "power" mode for driving (from second pic ) ... I would suggest you to use all three modes during the running-in... get some 200+ kms in each.


Follow the instructions as the manual says during the running-in period ..

Fill some good quality petrol.. Better use Shell or HP ... (Least suggested is Indian Oil)


and I too own the same color bike, but 2012 model..

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

I read in this forum itself that we have an opting to change the focus of Headlamps..Some sort of button / switch or something like that behind the headlamp.. I checked for it in my bike.. but couldnt find anything.. Can someone tell me where exactly it is .. If possible, please post a pic as well..

51 rs ?? Am i reading it correct :O


what about Engine Oil and Oil Filter? Didnt they changed these two ?

Oil filter itself will cost 40 and Engine Oil is around 240 !

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Today i faced a wierd problem in my gs. The odometer is not displaying the gear in which i am riding the bike, it shows first and second gear but it does not display after that.
must be some electrical problem coz of the heavy rains in mumbai.
neways lets see if it gets back to normal by itself, i am not bothered or worried abt it, will report the problem next time when i visit the service centre

Re: Suzuki GS150R

They said yhere is no need to change oil for 2k kms. So no oil change
