Re: Suzuki GS150R

I vividly remember Pinaki saying that to me once on Engine oil thread - I always use the manual recommended method of checking oil level.

I too miss Vishnu's posts - perhaps he is busy polishing his GS. Miss other souls like BlankPanther and gmagesh14 too. gmagesh replaced the cylinder head gasket after an oil leak - I think his GS is now close to 50k on ODO.

Done with Access' oil and filter change? Post the pics in Access thread if you took any.

+1 for that. I lost it soon. I can show fb message history as proof

Re: Suzuki GS150R

A small typo- I meant to say CPR7HSA.
CR7HGP will run cooler by almost 30deg C when compared to CPR7HSA.

If are willing to experiment with a non-projected type spark-plug then go for CR6HGP .
However, I don't find the need for G-power or iridium plugs. In most applications the stock plug is the best option and replacing periodically should be more than enough.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

As expected,

Thank you, for noting that. I'm beginning with you.
whatever, suit yourself.
Yeah, my English teacher during 10+2 pointed it out already. I like Chinese(both Mandarin & Cantonese)
None but you seem to feel so. Who else ???
I'm not a paid employee/agent from Suzuki. I just happen to like Suzuki 2-Wheelers, primarily because of less on-road presence.

You mean vishnumkd/panarvasu/anilkumar9 ?

Re: Suzuki GS150R

I thought of that, going for hotter plugs. It just the price tag of G-Power is compelling, I'll try CR6HGP once. I can use it in Access125/Dio if dissatisfied.I'm worried about this point, can a non-projected plug effectively replace default(stock) one through out the RPM range.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Can anyone tell me in detail about the dual throttle cable in GS150R ... it's function.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Adding to that, I would also like to know about XTP(eXtra Torque & Performance) in detail.

Can we block someone from sending us a PM - I tried but could not figure that out.

Mobil Delvac 1300 'Super'

Got this HDEO at 280 INR (1L) yesterday. My 'truck' will see another oil change soon .

Re: Suzuki GS150R

There is provision for ignoring others on user-control-panel: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/profile.php?do=ignorelist
I'm not sure how effective is that feature.

Is that Oil API CI-4 PLUS certified?


4^th Bolt on Access125 Filter-Cap:

I changed Engine-Oil(1000 ml), Oil-Filter & O-Rings today. The fourth bolt you inquired about in your previous post presumably used for draining excess Engine-Oil.
It holds nothing inside, just sits on the filter-cap. Considering the position of the Oil-Filter on Access, I can only conclude it's for "draining excess engine-oil".

Re: Suzuki GS150R

I looked at Honda-Shine & Bajaj-Pulsar180 (left & right neighbours' @hometown) silencer mounting bolt & nut; they're solid with two rubber dampers & washers. Will click pictures & share later.
[MENTION=60282]anilkumar9[/MENTION] you may want to report this Suzuki; we need less vibes around 3500 RPM.

API CI-4 is better, esp CI-4 Plus ; we may have to dig up API specifications for clarity on additives and limitations.

- Changed gear oil as well, I was not surprised to find Engine-Oil in there(as it was so thin). My dad remarked about it as well. Sister's Dio had Gear-Oil during replacement.
- Gear oil drain & filler bolts sit under that plastic cover you mentioned. Owner's manual explains this process clearly.

btw, engine oil was more than a year old, I had to replace it even though it was run less than 2000 kms.

While I welcome eXcess engine-oil drain bolt on oil-filter-cap; I don't understand the plastic cap on gear-oil drain/filler bolts. Perhaps an afterthought (or a vent) or something that we are yet to understand.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Hello Everyone,
How are you all and How are your bikes, its been very long I visited the forum. My bike have clocked 20800 KM today. During last service got my bike fully synthetic Engine oil and NGK Iridium (CR7HIX).Two days back got a new chainset.

Does any have problems with chirping of Front calipers when you apply brake?

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

During my first thousand kilometers , I Did not rev beyond 4.5 k and after second service , I took it to 6 k Rpm , after third went to 8 k Rpm.

Dust and Dirt of a month, with a flat rear tire.


The Old front sprocket

Re: Suzuki GS150R


For them, the mounting itself has a “well”/depression that holds the washer. Ours is just sheet metal-to-sheet metal contact like the Splendor. Guess our engineers probably felt it wasn’t necessary in GS.



Am actually loving the resonance grrrr in my GS - helps me shift-up without looking at the tacho. I shift up at 3.5-4 k and sometimes at 4.5 k.



UOAs are interesting. I too visit Bob’s site regularly. They have used Delvac MX which, if I remember correctly, has less sulfated ash than Delvac 1300. Delvac 1300 has more detergents than MX. The oil shopwala near my home didn’t have MX, so I settled for 1300 for the time being. Interestingly, Shell Rimula R4 (mineral) and Shell AX-7 (SS) are very similar specs wise. I think DivyaSharan uses/used R4 in his ZMR.


Plastic cover is for aesthetics maybe. Anyway it looks good than the exposed bolts on Activa.

I searched Google for “Suzuki oil filter cover.” Many pictures that came up had that extra 4^th bolt (especially vehicles of the 70s-90s). Also, many old Suzuki workshop manuals describe procedures to measure oil pressure if the SVC suspects a failed/failing oil pump. So, is that 4^th bolt used to fix an oil pressure gauge? In GS, there is a big bolt just lower the filter cover - may be it serves the same purpose.


Which brand of FS oil?

My sprockets are fine and I expect them to serve atleast 25-28k. But the OEM chain is “stretching” very madly. I think I will end up replacing chain before I change the sprockets.

You mean a squeaking sound? Might be dust. Also check if there is enough juice on the pads.



I see you have removed the chain covers - this will make frequent cleaning and lubing the chain a must. Otherwise metal will eat metal, not to mention the coarse “grinding paste” formed by sand and old grease.

Interesting wear pattern - every alternate tooth has been chipped off and others are classic fish hook shaped.

Stricter Maintenance Schedule for Let’s? (Source: Suzuki’s Website)

• Replace spark plug every 7000 kms (8k for Access and GS).
• Replace engine oil initially at 1000 and then every 3000 kms. Oil Filter change at alternate oil changes (4k oil change for Access and GS).
• Replace final gear oil every 6500-7000 kms (8k for Access/Swish).
• Grease wheel bearings every 7000 kms (10k for Access).
