Thanks

Thanks for your suggestions . I did book my bike on 24.


Hi Thanks for your suggestions . i wanted to ask you Did you select your own bike or he gave(assigned) you the one.

@ALL

1) I has booked on 24th and made the entrie payment by cheque. Swargate showroom people told me i will get delivery of the bike 3 days from my cheque is cleared. Is this fine or when should i get the delivery of my bike.
The manufacturing of the bike must be 2009 na.

2) What all accessories are necessary other then teflon coating.

3) Please Tell me what all documents the dealer has to give me at the time of delivery. Please pardon my ignorance as this is my first purchase.

@Siddhv,
What was on the road price and did the showroom give u any accessories or did u pay for any?? Also how was the experience....meaning did he let u choose your bike or were you assigned one.
I am also planning to book this bike from pune in August

While climbing ghaats, the bike sings merrily, letting everyone know it is coming. The sound definitely increases on upclimb of ghaat, not on flyover or in city. On straights or slopes though, it is smooth as a cat.

I tried clutchless upshift today. The gears switch in position so smoothly! Try it yourself, when you want to upshift, just blip the throttle (give it a quick raise and turn it back to 0) and press the gear down. It shifts perfectly, maintaining the velocity of the bike. However, don't try downshifting without clutch.

@Siddhv: Hope you got 1000rs off, as you paid full. Kothrud suzuki gives 1000rs discount on full payment, resulting in on road cost of 66570.

As animeher has said i got Rs 1000 discount so on road price is 66060 with no additional aaccessories. I am thinking of getting it Teflon coated. where as selection option is considered he told me to select it from the bikes at his store room.

Yes i got Rs1000 discount but i paid 66060. Can you please tell me why Rs. 500 is charged more at kothrud.

Hi all,

I have been reading your posts from the past one month. One thing that really bothers me is the brakes and head light according to you guys.

Are the brakes and headlight really that bad ?
I had test driven a gs at airport road suzuki in bangalore and I was quite happy with the performance except for some cluttering sound coming from the engine after the ride.

Could some one guide me on purchasing this in bangalore.. i mean are they any showrooms that offer the best price ?

My options are Unicorn and GS as of now... the new fazer is the same fz-16 with fairings I suppose....

The brakes are not an issue...I dont see why such a thing emerged. I have test ridden the Zuki and the Front disc and the Rear Drum are at par with others. as for the headlight, well, I have a habit of Riding on a Philips Xtreme on a DC set up with my Visor closed, so yes, I find that the Lights are not as bright as a DC set up, but what the heck...it still solves the matter efficiently.

Value for Money is what we are aiming at... 60k on road price with fuel efficiency of 50-55~ kmpl, torque, comfortable riding position, Go for a GS150R. you wont regret.

^^+1 to what dcs has mentioned.

The bike does not have any braking issues.Its just that when all the parts are new,it takes some time to get in shape & set in place & hence the running in is done.The headlight is not bad,BUT the stock bulb is,you can change the bulb to a Philips 35/35w & you will get better lighting,I have done that on my GS & till date clocked 6650kms.

Regarding the tik tik sound coming after the ride is the cataylic converter sound you dont need to worry about.

Go for it buddy.

@Siddhv: I am not sure why kothrud suzuki is charging 67570 when Swargate suzuki is charging 67060. I have sent a mail to suzuki regarding this. Let's wait for the answer.

Hi hi!!!!
The breaks are not bad at all.....
Maybe not as sharp as pulsar and rtr. It stops when u wanted to.
Last week i was about to bang an autowala (@ 65kmph) . The bike stopped still when the breaks were applied and one amazing thing was it didn't even skid an inch
Rock solid stability....

And about the head light, it can be rectified...
Only someone who knows better can focus it properly...
Some of our friends in this thread have got their headlights adjusted...

The cuuttering sound is from the silencer.. I witnessed the same sound in my friends pulsar also.. nothing to worry about that

Regarding cluttering sound it is from the catalytic convertor... and the catalytic convertor cooling is more audible in GS in the form of cluttering sound.. it sounds as if the bike is still on..

I had the same issue and checked with suzuki service.. the reason for more audible sound is this..

The catalytic converter is not housed inside the silencer as in all other bikes.. the exhaust if you notice has a small rectangle platform like thing jutting out from the silencer near your footpeg.. it is exactly below the crank...

This is a separate unit housed outside the exhaust tube.. but the exhause fumes have to pass through the unit only... hence when it cools it is more audible since its ouside the silencer unit..

The reason behind having a separate housing for the catalytic converter is that , it helps in reducing loss of momentum when one climbs over flyover / gradient .. in other words this unit helps the bike climb gradients without downshifting even though there is a loss in momentum...

note that other suzuki bikes like heat and zeus do not have this feature and the conventional positioning of catalytic convertor is maintained in them

HI i m from bangalore and i m teh provde oner of GS ,i was a series lover of unicorn....

You cann't belive that i was in honda showroom before 2 hour purchase of GS ..since they don't have stock...i bought this blacky gs....it never let me down from the desiosn i made in last min......u never regret to buy this even i feel i just escaped from uni's old techniques.......fazer looks gr8....reall master...but millage & cost...u decide.

i bought from KH road...he is the main dealer i beleive.....but u need to find the show room which is close to ur location..bcoz for service that will be easy.....im from kalayan nag...and my off @ ITPL....for its very tough to take my wheel to decinson road for service.....since i buy this from that showroom i know the peoples so i m taking very long drive for service.i feel airport road suzuki also serve better....find the diff in cost both the showroom.....my gs onroad with teflon & sheet cover 67500...
u decide now.

The front discs are awesome man... I have applied the brakes suddenly at 70-75kmph twice... It stood rock solid (That old man who ran in front of my bike suddenly should thank the GS discs).. It was standing rock solid... I am damn sure that other discs from the 150cc segment would have given atleast a jerk...

What my service center mechanic told was.. The front discs are fantastic in GS and the rear brakes are just for support... So the bite in rear brakes have been kept low....

About headlights... You will learn to leave with it soon

Buddy... I think fazer should not come into picture when u have short listed to UNI and GS

What my service center mechanic told was.. The front discs are fantastic in GS and the rear brakes are just for support... So the bite in rear brakes have been kept low....

never heard story in my life. till date i think rear brakes for stopping/slow down the wheel....today only i understood front is main..rear only support....

Boss the sc guys will tell lot of stories...but fact is rear brakes in GS really poor.

Vensan, this is true. Front brakes are always the primary brakes, and rear are only supplementary. About 70% is front and only 30% is back.

Though this is not the reason for bad rear brakes in GS150R

disc brakes

dude my odo has clocked to 1385 and my disc brakes r giving sound and when pushing with engine off the is some "sssss" sound frm disc brake i s it normal or shud i repot it to service center
