    I have noticed a trend in this forum (once again), like a lack of interest in any updates regarding GS150r, so I will write an update about saying good-bye to my beloved black GS... and an interesting twist connected to the loss.

    The 'zuma name is involved... just priming the pump.

    Talk to you later.

    Thanks, Gilbert. The GS150R forum might have fewer posts these days but I hope the long term owners stick around for when their counsel is needed the most . It was on this forum where I learnt to do the "Full DC conversion" on my GS150R, thanks to [MENTION=43996]gmagesh14[/MENTION]. The rewound stator coil and full DC wiring are 4 years old and are pumping out the 55 watts without a hitch. Now that I'm back to using the GS daily, I plan to upgrade the halogen headlight to LED projectors.

    GS and Zuma.... great to see you moving up the horsepower range. Do keep us posted

Turned out to be a defective diaphragm in the carburetor which was throwing a tantrum and not opening the main jets when I needed it.

    Well, I changed the whole carburetor unit because they could not replace just the diaphragm spare. And now, the bike is back to its usual performance and that sweet smooth highway cruising mode. . All in all, a very happy ownership for the past 6 years. Hope to keep it revving for many more years.

    Hello R0rshack, guys,

    I meant to enquire about this before, as I am planning to change to a LED headlamp bulb very soon (without going FULL DC); the PDF from the forum instructs to:

    1. Take the +ve terminal from the battery and connect it to YELLOW wire in the connector of stock RR.
    2. Connect this yellow wire to ORANGE from our bike (HORN).
    3. Just join a wire with horn's ORANGE and connect it to YELLOW wire in this connector.

    But the socket of indicator is mentioned in your procedure (above). So, indicator socket or horn?

    Could you please give more precise instructions regarding COLORS and HOW TO CONNECT everything?

    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    Gilbert
    Gil! it will work both ways - connect to the indicator socket or horn, both will work as they are connected directly to the battery. For me, i have the yellow wire connecting the stock RR is connected to the battery line ( at the indicator socket). Now one terminal of the stock rr (the erstwile yellow terminal) is dummy. No other changes.


    I'm not using this setup anymore now, and have reverted back to stock setup due to my usage pattern.

    Please share the pics Cylinder and Piston before installing. Inform us about the price also.
    Thanks

    Please consult some other mechanic. Generally mechanics tell engine overhaul as a measure to save their time to investigate complicated issues and make fast money.

    i could hear some rolling sounds when i shift to 6th gear.

    these sounds appear only when i shift to 6h gear. in 5th gear the ride is smooth and no noise.

    though the ride is smooth and fine, i don't know why these sounds come.

    recently i have changed chain sprockets and battery. km run:60200. 2013 model

    kindly reply to my queries.

    thanks

The draw on my battery is around 15W lesser than the stock and have been using this setup for the past 3 weeks, travelling close to 100 kms every weekday. battery is retaining its charge and battery voltage is consistent when checked.

    Kudo's on the feat, I'm quite surprised you churned 50k out of the stock chain and sprockets, I presume you went with gear oil over chain lube.

    Even your brake pad life is something spectacular as I'm the type who would proactively change at 10k intervals. Though you do not find the need to change pads, make sure to change your brake flud at least once a year.

    As for the "Clutch Boss" I'm not sure which part is being referred to here, please provide more details and a picture if possible.

    Cheers,

    I had my GS150(25k on odo in 2015) Piston and Cylinder changed at the same Ranigunj service center after an engine seizure due to lack of engine oil, back in 2015 it costed me around 16K, but the bike was under the 3 years warranty( bought it in 2013), so paid only the labor charges and some other component charges which costed me around 4k.

    I am not an aggressive driver and mostly maintain a speed of 40-60 Kmph. And only city riding.

    Now in 2018 the odo is at 37k and being servicing it regularly at a local mechanic. And now the performance is low, Tapet sounds, low pickup. And the mechanic say the engine need to be re-bored. I don't have an intention to get the Cylinder/Piston replaced again, and the local mechanic quoted a price of 8k for a re-bore. Would this really cost 8k?

    Any good local mechanic you guys can suggest in Hyderabad to get the re-bore?I love the bike and don't have an intention to sell it.
    Any Inputs to this would be of great help
