Re: Suzuki GS150R

What are the rpms at which you're down shifting without clutch disengagement?
Can we be spectators when GS150R's engine is dismantled at SVC for say something like replacing worn out clutch?

Point noted.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

first service done today at 1023km

bill amount - Rs.512/- vat included

engine oil change, filter Rs. 390/-

15W40 JASO MA-2 SL POWER-1-4T

can anyone explain the above.have they filled the correct engine oil(grade)..i couldn't ask them since they delivered the bike to my office.


value added service Rs. 60/-...what is this...will ask them tomorrow..don't know what value they added to service.

engine feels some wht rough..gear shifts were smoother than earlier...front brake screech sound gone.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Let me check it again tomorrow.
Possibly not. But a very few riders are not disengaging clutch while shifting gear. I too am not recommending it.

Oil they filled is Castrol 15W-40 Power 1 semi synthetic. It is a good oil and I am using it from the 1^st servicing of my GS. Price of the oil is Rs. 350/- for 1 litre and of oil filter is Rs.40/-. So, I guess, they have filled 1 litre of oil instead of the recommended 1.100 litre if oil filter is changed. Check the oil level tomorrow and add another 100 ml of oil if necessary.
The mechanic may have used some cotton waste to clean his hands while servicing and he may, perhaps, have poured a few drops of engine oil here and there on the chain to lube it. That 60 rupees is the value of these ‘added services’; I think. So ignore it to keep the relationship with the SC warm.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

ok will check the oil level tomorrow.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Which SVC is this?
They're filling Semi-Synth in the first service these days? Nice improv though.
Never heard of bikes being delivered to office. How far is the SVC from your office?

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Sir, no offence meant but can u think of something that the dealership or svc would do to keep customer relationship warm. As it is the service schedule is too frequent at 50 days. Added to this are these knick knacks. Why always customer is bearing the brunt

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Hello frds,

I need one advice, which is the best service centre for this bike, I am staying in Vikaspuri, New Delhi (west Delhi).

I know this bike is not very common in Delhi... so a advice please.....

Re: Suzuki GS150R

i have checked the oil level in centre stand....it shows around 75percent filled...it seems they have not filled it fully..or is it normal

also the amount of engine oil to be filled is 1000ml as indicated in the engine compartment..how come 1.1 litre?

Re: Suzuki GS150R

It is 1.1 litre when replacing oil filter but I dont think svc center guys do it rigorously.

Is beleive it is good for now but do check it frequently and top up if it falls below the min mark

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Do we get 100 ml of oil in the market for topup. Or is it advisable to buy 3 litre cans to use for filling appropriately and topups when required.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Automobile dealership and workshop is a business demanding investment of huge amount of money. Don’t expect anything free from there.
Do the routine maintenance works yourself as a lot of the bikers do and go to the SC only when major repairing is needed.

Are you sure the bike was straight when you checked the oil level? Hold the bike upright when it is cold without centre stand and check the oil level again. The level must be between the “L” and “M” marks on the oil window. Excess oil does not provide more protection to the engine but damages it. So, drain the excess oil if over filled.
While changing oil, the mechanic removes the oil drain bolt, waits till the continuous oil flow stops, refits the drain bolt and fills 1 or 1.1 litre oil. If the quantity of oil drained is less than what is filled, it results over filling.
Buy a 17 mm socket spanner and its lever (It is safer than ring spanner.) and an 8 mm T spanner from shops selling tools, oil cleaner from the SC and change the oil yourself, next time. This ensures longer, trouble free engine life.
100 ml packets are not available. I bought two 1 litre jars and am keeping the oil left for next oil changes. Here too, as usual, some experts may be against it. I am not an expert; so this is what I do.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Yesterday I was able to b3at an apache rtr 160 from a standing start at a signal. I tried this on purpose but I beleive the apache guy was a bit cautious with his revs. Should try again with a friend.
