Re: Suzuki GS150R

Dear punarvasu,

I beleive we are talking about the brightness of the light in more practically obsercable terms than the technical terminology.

In theory, all 150 cc bikes may use 35/35 bulbs and assymetric reflectors but on road, certain bikes provide better illumination as compared to gs.

The very reason why u converted to dc.

We all wonder why this feedbaxk never reached anyone at suzuki. Is it because it was never given to them or is it because they dont want to do anyhing about his.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Got my gs today. Delivery process was smooth. Small issues were there and front cowl was scratched. Got it replaced.
Only mistake was I was riding the bike with choke on.
I noticed when the idling was more at
Neutral. I rode it for around 2.5km

Did I damage the engine. The Suzuki people said it is ok.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Congratulations and you are officially now a gs buddy. It is ok to have ridden with the choke on. The choke delivers a rich fuel mixture to the engine and thus the higher idling. Encouraged to use only for cold starts.

Slight misfiring.
Wheel wobbling issue running since beginning.
While riding the bike tends to veer to the right side.
Chain tightening and lubrication.

Problems fixed.
Chain tightening and lubrication.
All other issues still persist.

Could anyone suggest some houghts on what/where I should check for misfiring and wheel wobbling.

Charges rs.140 in total foe consumables, battery maintenance and chain lubrication.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

thanks for the kind words.

i didn't notice the choke ON when i was driving..may be over excitement ...even when i drove the car for the first time, was driving with the handbrake ON..

great rode presence and light handling than pulsar..can feel the wight only when pushing to the garage.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Handbrake on issue happpens to me even now . I have once started with choke on and rode about 3 kms without closing it. Realized that at a traffic signal and changed.

In some othr bikes the choke lever has a spring that goes back to normal position so if u need the choke on, you need to keep holding it which seems to be the better mechnism.

Yes gs does make a few heads turn. It is rare and it gives a big bike feel. The best part is hat it has an upright seating posture and does not fel heavy like pulsar but is also steady at the same time.

sorry for low quality pics . will post good pics soon

Re: Suzuki GS150R



Good news for you dear! :-) It's 'your' hard earned money, it's 'your' bike and 'you are the one' who is going to live with it! Your satisfaction or no deal, and that's the way business goes! Tank rust was a major issue till 2010 and Suzuki did well in curbing this menacing feature from then on! However, there have been few rust related complains and few pictures posted in this thread some time back? Suzuki replaces the whole tank in such cases and there is nothing to worry about!
A second of momentary throttle twist would do no harm to your engine and it is one of the standard pre-shipping checks done on bikes. Make a it a rule to stay in the ECO mode until your run-in period is done with and yes, make it a 'must'! ECO mode is really helpful as it will help keep you in check of your suggested(User manual) engine rpm and crossing it will light up a white warning light(picture added here) on the instrument panel! Power mode and God Mode will deceive you in these crucial run-in times! You musn't ride beyond the suggested engine rpm limit as it will excessively heat up the engine during the run-in period. This is the time when your engine parts are settling in and this will decide the quality of your entire future ownership and your fuel economy!

Who's the 'sir' here? I'm Trailwright buddy! Truly delighted to have you replying. :-) The headlights are non existent on practical highway use when there are no lights whatsoever!! I guided myself with lights of vehicles travelling along on the sides and it was 150+ kilometres of dark evening. I'm installing extra bright lights next time around when I'm on a highway trip! On a second thought, how about we simply switch off the lights and ride in the dark? Yeah?? LOL...
Hey, this kind of mindset says that the world is foolish and dumb, so what's stopping us from being that way? Isn't that our age old bizarre Indian way of conditioning ourselves to live within the box and follow blindly like a flock of sheep? "Accept it(the beatings), he's your husband! "That's the way it is(corruption), whether you like it or not!" "His son is an engineer, why don't you become one?" "You are imagining that crack on the wall Sirji(says the builder), aall eej bell!! You are thinking too much! Jhingalalahoohoo!!"

God damn it! A laughing riot!

Fuel economy check, well I'm on it and would report a detailed review. I have had a round figure but that was before the bike had finally set in. Fingers crossed! :-)

I would never question the GS150R package for its market approach! I'd prefer it over all the Pulsars and RTRs and what have you not, at any given day! Everything grows and refines to a mature state, GS should be the same thing! Hope to see a bigger line up of such good bikes from Suzuki!



I heard clear bouts of light misfiring(4 to 5) one morning when I wasn't wearing a helmet. It was 60+ km/h, descending a flyover and throttle released. The fart(lmfao) teamed along with exhaust notes. I haven't heard such misfiring for a good time now because I rarely ride at 55+. Will definitely try it on a safe open road and check with the Service Centre for an insight if needed.

Damn that front wheel!! You have an inbox alert!


I somehow prefer calling it a more 'planted' feeling than weight. lol.. While riding, you won't find it any different in 'ease-to-ride' from other bikes until you see a HH Passion passing by with its low fuel tank and smaller size. That's when I realise that GS is bigger!


True! Lookwise, GS seems well proportioned and evenly stretched to its size!


Congratulations, it's a beautiful whale! :-) I'm jealous as your seat cover really looks good! lol.. Getting a tank cover soon?

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Thank you sir, first of all, I was doubting that I was sittin to one side but no the bike veers right even if I position myself to the extreme left but I generally sit in the middle.

The handlebar moves freely and is not a problem. Checked that after sercice in front of head mechanic.

They sad they wud have done wheel alifnment but no one at the svc was sure of what they did with the bike, so o doubt if they did anyhing more than a wash. Need to get back to them tomorrow.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Check the wheel alignment yourself as shown in page 6-30 and 31 of the manual. Most of us are doing it in that way but there are many other more accurate methods.
The fork twists if the bike crashes or hits somewhere. While checking it, check the fork oil level and condition of the springs too.
I have witnessed many times the mechanics replacing parts of new bikes with faulty or worn parts of bikes waiting for repairing if new parts were not readily available. That was not at Suzuki SC.
Meet the workshop/service manger and explain the issues and ask to ride the bike with you as pillion rider. The workshop managers at authorized service centers are recruited by or with the consent of Suzuki and are either mechanical or automobile engineers or, at least, diploma holders.
If nothing solves the issues, inform them that you are to proceed with legal actions against the dealer and the company for selling a faulty product to you.
It is strange that even the zonal service manager was unable to find out why your bike is wobbling.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Dear sir, I would certainly check that myself. I am unhappy that despite asking them to check and in spite of all the facilities to check they never did.

I complained to the service manager, works manager and he general manager. The works manager took the bike out and says he never found wobbling.

We cannot reason out with someone who is in denial mode.

This entire service seems to be a waste. Just water wash and I cud hav done a better job of it.

Re: Suzuki GS150R


thanks for the wishes... the dealer said tank covers is out of stock..will soon get one if they didnt.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

It's not about the leverage but the excess free play I'm getting.


Then, do you recommend sticking with stock bulb & setup? Adjust low/high beam accordingly.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

I need to know the ideal tyre pressure.
I have maintained 25psi in front and 30 in rear. I still feel the ride us somewhat bumpy.

Also how to improve the headlights. Do halogen bulbs help?
