Re: Suzuki GS150R : 3rd party rear ShocAbs

I'm not sure what components they considered to come up with that total. Get the list of parts they considered & write to Suzuki-India(Contact Us | Suzuki Motorcycle India Ltd.) to get a confirmation using "Spares price related queries". Nearly ₹ 600/- in question here.

Re: Suzuki GS150R : 3rd party rear ShocAbs

Hi fellows, I met with an accident for the first time in my GS I fell down to the road luckily not much damage happened to me or GS .

it was just after silkboard signal , i was accelerating from neutral and i was at almost 40-50 kmph and in 5th gear when a TVS XL moped took left to enter the service road without any indicator or hand signal. I had to apply sudden brake (both front and rear) and the bike skidded . my bikes front wheel just hit the mopeds rear wheel but nothing happened to him or to his moped. i lost control of the bike as it was skidding and at last, me along with the bike fell to the right side. but the speed was almost zero when i fell down , so the damage happened to the bike is very low. ( in a way i can say i fell down after stopping the bike but the bike had leant to the right side, so i couldnt handle the weight with both my foots still on the bike) I was lucky that no other vehicle was right behind me. otherwise , it would have hit me straight away.



the scratches are so small and i am so happy that no severe damage happened to it. same for me aswell. just two scratches on my knee and in my foot.


can someone tell me what is the price of our GS's headlight .. ( not bulb , but the unit)

Re: Suzuki GS150R : 3rd party rear ShocAbs

Around Rs. 1400/- for the reflector as a unit with headlight and indicator bulbs. It does not include the cowl.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

My neglected GS, host/home to several eight/six-legged creatures:



I'm thinking of below jugad: Straighten that bent link...



This will increase the effective length of final-lever on the gear-shifter.
So,
1. Increasing lever by 33% decreases force required by 25%.
2. Catch is, since lever length is increased, higher/larger rotation is required to shift gear. i.e. roughly 133% of rotation.

Effectively, short tighter(toe-unfriendly) gear-shifts will become long softer (toe-friendly) gear shifts.

Any comments?

Also, I dislike free-play on the lever that has developed over usage, will figure something out. Perhaps a metal sheet & tin-cutter for sleeves?

How do you feel now? It's often after several hours inner injuries swell up.

Re: Suzuki GS150R : 3rd party rear ShocAbs

Head lamp Assy. Rs. 1061, 2 years before. I think your's can be polished out.

Oh man. That crash guard saved ur legs.

Re: Suzuki GS150R : 3rd party rear ShocAbs

Did you sustain any injuries?

Maruti-Suzuki won't entertain walk-in customers; Suzuki motorcycles don't mind.
Who told you so? Next time they deny, ask them to confirm on your mobile video camera.
So far I've bought spares from:

1. Saptagiri Suzuki, RajKumar Road, BLR
2. Value Suzuki, Yelahanka, BLR
3. Kalleshwara Suzuki, DVG
4. 9-Star Suzuki, near E-City, BLR

Next, planning to visit KH-Road Suzuki.

That particular Oil-Filter, I don't remember.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

I was speculating about the GS, not Gixxer - I think the mechanical changes to GS might be a MF battery and open chain cover.

did you change to Diamond or settled with a DID for your 30k sprocket kit change?

What about the knocking sound your engine had - rectified/confirmed it is normal?

I thought SEP is Honda's ECO Tech.

I was not suggesting negligence, there is little we can do to prevent that. I thought the wasp prefers camouflage - I thought they build nests on orangish/brown bases, was wrong. But who needs a camouflage when one can hide the house inside a hole? Wasps are known to build nests inside pivot tubes of airliners too (learnt that from Air Crash Investigaton)!

My chain is stock and is DID - loosens crazily.

My gear linkage has this play too. The play is actually "sideways" in the linkage - won't fixing an extra washer solve that? I see that you have already changed the angle of the gear shifter (slightly upwards, to enable easier toe-shifts?).

Your GS looks wonderful - this colour was soon discontinued when I bought mine in end-2012.

What did you use to remove the dust seals of front bearings?

Good to know nothing major happened to you. TVS XLs are major irritants on the road - Most of these moped-driving-uncles accelerate mad till 45 kph and then stay bang on the center of the road without giving way. Damages are not much (of what I can make out of those photos) - change the whole headlight unit only if you need to.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

We can't call them mechanical, can we.
- MF battery - will be a pragmatic move
- open chain cover - I vote against it; I think they'll retain the cover

I once removed the lever when increasing leverage was hot topic in this thread. Thought I replaced to default setting, it looks so.
They're rubber make, check out.



Supervisor @home:


He's the one who mauls my bike to get back at me, often when I'm sleeping.

No, I bought outside. Ask them, get lucky if they're available in 1L Can.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

It’s ROLON ...

Re: Suzuki GS150R

I checked with a couple of service centres and they said that the noise is normal. I even escalated the issue to Suzuki and received a call from one of their executives asking me to bring the bike to ABT svc centre (Nandanam). Even their chief mechanic test rode my bike and said that it is normal. Since then I have started ignoring the noise though it is still very much present. After all, the bike still runs smooth at high speeds and gives a good mileage of above 55kmpl. So, I do not want to make a big issue with the noise rather enjoy my ride .
My ride is due for 2nd svc. I will try the svc centre in Padi next week and confirm the nature of the sound then.

Re: Suzuki GS150R : 3rd party rear ShocAbs

Don't know if it has something in relation to shock failure.

See if the switch on the clutch liver is working. Apply some oil for smooth functioning.

I think it is due to the nest inside the exhaust pipe. Clean it and see if the problem is resolved, before fiddling with the carburetor.

I think it is part of crank case ventilation system.

Fair comment.

It saved my legs, but it was not strong as i expected. I had swollen knees for couple of weeks.

I changed spark plug cap/adapter twice due to spark leak. The original cap was leaking after 300-400 KM or so. So i went to a local electrician and changed it to FZ's. After 8000 KM or so, that too started leaking and currently i am using stock GS150R spark plug adapter.

What is DID/Diamond chain-sprocket?

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Padmini PAIR System is for supplying pulsating air to exhaust gases to burn out remaining fuel(HC); i.e again to comply with emission norms, no power gained only fuel lost.

Crankcase ventilation ought to be in the back. Will check & update.
Last time I had a minor fracture in the left wrist, the nurse lady (Ramakrishna Hospitals chain) in X-Ray room hurt me more while capturing exposure than the actual event of crash.
So, stock is better in most cases.

DID and Diamond are chain manufactures like ROLON. Chain Sprocket set contains chain, both front and rear sprockets; as you know.

How do you find out plug-cap is leaking? Open throttle in neutral under pitch darkness and look for sparks?

Re: Suzuki GS150R

It is in the back, now i remember.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

I live in Chennai. Can some one suggest me a good local bike workshop for GS150R? I am fed up of the SVC (JAV Adyar, Chennai). Please suggest, thanks
