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.

They have given me one pad which was replaced , and told to replace it in next service. New brake oil was also added. they say that my Disc and Callipers piston maybe damage which might be causing the problem.

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

Congratulations buddy, nice snaps. Happy motoring. Tips that I have followed are keep it under 4.5K RPM until 1000 kms, gradually take it up but do not cross 6000 RPM until 2500 kms. The bike will initially be a bit rusty but give it a couple of services and you wouldn't hear a thing.

By far, each of our bikes have behaved differently. Do share your stories.

I intend to get my idle RPM tuned down tomorrow. Thanks for the tips Nikhil.

I remember reading that you had an unfortunate fall on the bike (correct me if I am wrong). Please also have a check if this has caused any damage to the disc/ calipers.
As you know, it is better to change one part at a time starting from the least expensive while trobleshooting an issue.

Hi Nikhil,

You should see a star head screw behind the light when you tilt the handle bar to the extreme ends.
You need a long star head screwdriver to rotate the screw clockwise / anti clockwise.

Sorry, no photos right now.

The problem came after the pads where replaced. And yes I fell but did not ram into any thing which can damage the disk, but i will get it checked.

which way I should rotate it? In my bike, when the light is in "bright" , it falls very much higher..more than normal "bright"..i want that to be made a little lower.. is it possible by adjusting this?

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

Hi Sagar,

I tried your tip on acceleration, it works. However after 2nd service, the engine sound has drastically reduced. Its smooth and can't hear a thing even when riding at 80. However, I believe slower acceleration would do the trick than fast or immediate acceleration.

The wobbling and jumping still exists, think we have to live with it. No solution in sight even for the SC guys.

Looks like you have got a K&N Filter on your bike

.. is it worth changing to K&N from the stock filter? Do you feel any change afterall ?

And Aviraj,

Did you cut down your rear Mudguard?

About the mudguard, It was attached with clips, it could be removed very easily no problem. Yes, K&n air filter installed in it, I have also up sized the main jet, Pickup has increased. I have started to upgrade my bike , next month I will we getting big bore kit from Race concepts

. If you want to change your air filter try to put in a Box so that water can not get in touch with air filter. Good news is that I still get my bike serviced from Service Center with the K&N air filter installed.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

off topic - NO1 here on XBHP owns a Suzuki Hayate? I am not able to find any reviews/feedback on this bike.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Hi. When ingive my bike for service, I generally get a hayate on standby. I have dfiven the bike fairly on a few occassions.

The bike is good. Very peppy engine. Stable and comfortable with good breaks. Ideal for city commute.

In my pastnexperience of owning a tvs for 7 yrs, I would recommend trying a star city. This bike is also peppy, and powerful with a big bike feel. Also try the discocver 100t. Service and spares makes bajaj or tvs better.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Tested..... and the verdict is.....

After 2000 kms, i got the opportunity to speed test. I got a free stretch on the E-city elevated expressway. 102 kmph. The bike was just about to take off in the air and had to slow down but it had potential to go futher. I wouldn't be testing it any further for at least another 1000 kms

The fuel tank holds 17 litres of petrol. I had 3.5 on reserve, I went for a full tank as petrol prices are bound to rise, Could fill 13.5 without any problem. That makes it 17 litres and there is still room for more.

well, am not planning to do any changes in the bike as of now... and this big bore kit was a new term for me... thanks for that.

Hayate seem to be a great bike among the 110 cc segments. I have never driven it but from reviews, i think it is worth buying. after googling, it looks like most people are confused between hayate and Honda Dream Yuga. If you are planning to buy one, take test drive of these two and choose wisely.

The problem with TVS is that, after few years the bike will be with full of vibrations and so much noises. (You know what i mean coz am not getting the exact term for this.. )
