Re: Suzuki GS150R

There was some air after some riding on my bike. I don't mean from the weight of the bike.

Anyone knew this new price of Inzuma?

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Actually I let my brother hold the bike while i am checking the oil level. But your method sounds good. Will try if no one there to help

Re: Suzuki GS150R

I'll check again with B'Luru SVCs, let's see what they've to say about compatibility. I've noticed few times one GS150R from Kerala belonging to first batch in my locality, but often when I'm in the middle of something.

Yes, it's a pass. I've changed oil-filter twice before & had poured 1L engine-oil nothing more; oil-level did held up until next oil-change. That said, I can't advocate/recommend it.

I used to do it too, now I bend over while sitting on the bike !!!. However, can't recommend it.

Yes, price-cut was mostly welcomed : Suzuki Inazuma Launched at 3.1 Lakhs: xBhp News - Page 7

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Rs. 2.09 Lacs

I have a simple query. If I convert my GS150R to full DC, without coil rewinding, using an APE RR. Will it be able to run a 35W headlamp flawlessly? My only aim is a flicker-free headlight.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

I believe AC coming out of stator coil is half wave as remaining half is grounded. Feasibility of getting full-sinusoidal wave without rewinding can be answered by exp members. [MENTION=43996]gmagesh14[/MENTION] has done full-DC conversion & active on here.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Yes, possible. But again you need to open the magneto cover to bring out the second end of the coil which is grounded inside.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

If I'm not asking too much, can you recollect the full-wave voltage & current (AC) from stator coil @5000 RPM in

1. stock winding (is it 19swg?)
2. 18swg winding

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Hi Saprkot,

"The charging voltage in stock setup is 13.5 to 15.3 at 5000 RPM but the maximum voltage output of Ape or similar RR is 14.5 and reaching there is normal."

These are the texts from our MASTER (You know whom I'm talking right?).
IIRC stock winding is 19SWG.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Then if one is going to use 35w headlight (Halogen/HID) then stock winding is enough. Only we need to alter stator-coil to produce full-wave & replace stock RR with APE-RR. Charging current in that setup should support it, am I correct here?

I'll read http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/universa...ke-all-dc.html for more information anyway.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Hi Everyone, it has been long time since i posted a update on my GS. The bike completed 4 years and has clocked approx 77K till now and doing well. I was supposed to sell it off but decided against it, since i was not getting good value for my well maintained bike and probably because i would switch to only driving occasionally. I currently ride approx 100kms a day, and GS has performed without a sweat in these years.

My only problem with the GS pathetic rear brakes, they are non existent and therefore i make sure my front disc get proper treatment every time for my survival. After riding so many miles i would have picked the new GS again, but what is the point for buying a bike that manufacturer thinks if you add few stickers it is good to go.

I would have gladly bought another GS, if Suzuki had listened to its customers and for their overall safety and had fitted discs to the rear.

But small niggles aside (service is a marriage when you buy suzuki, i don't consider it as a niggle ) i have really enjoyed my ride with my Blue Phoenix, comfort levels are hard to match especially when you are doing that many kms daily.

My advice to new GS owners, listen to wonderful people in this forum they have wonderful ideas to make your ride better everyday.

P.s : Hopeful target 100K kms in my GS and not sell it, since it is now too dear to me. New GS owners kindly change your tyres from MRF to better ones, believe me i have had two falls because of these pathetic tyres leading to fish-tailing and i falling down.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

My GS 150 Crossed 1,00,000 KMs. You can read my Ownership thread here:


Yeah, the rear brakes are pathetic. Full braking is taken care by front brake. No niggles. I find MRF Tyres are better. Changed the rear (3rd tyre) tyre a month back. Tyres lasted for 50,000 KMS. Good bike, badly marked by Suzuki.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

You were looking for a replacement for your old GS150R, did you find the right one?

Re: Suzuki GS150R

4 months and 6000 km done, my GS is performing pretty good for my daily commute of around 70km per day.
Completed the 3rd free service (just routine service). The gear shifts have become smoother now. Though not as smooth as a Honda, the gearbox is still quite manageable. The engine is not very smooth at low speed ride, but it makes up for it with the smoother rides during high speed highway rides.

I could not stop wondering how the suspension is performing it's job very well. I rode in my friend's new Xtreme(2014 edition) as a pillion for a short distance and the rear suspension was a bit hard compared to my GS. Only today I found that GS's rear shocks are of Gabriel make. Till today I had a wrong impression that Gabriel rear suspensions are always hard (courtesy my RX135 rear suspension). But I was proved wrong.

I managed to do a top speed of 110kmph (speedo indicated) once. It was slightly windy and I think reaching 110 in such conditions that too without a pillion is pretty decent for a 150cc. It could go till 115 under a more favourable condition. Expecting anything more than that from a 150cc is too much. After all we don't ride at those speeds often. Maintaining the GS at 80kmph is a breeze. The bike does it without breaking a sweat.

After having ridden my GS for 6K km, here are my observations:
1. Engine is smooth at high speeds
2. Suspension is mind blowing when compared to other 150cc bikes
3. Very comfortable for long commutes.
4. Mileage is a pretty impressive 58kmpl under sedate riding (80% city and 20% highway like roads)
5. Rear brake is poor, but the front brake is adequate
6. Tyres are not so grippy. The rear skids on hard braking (unless the front/rear combo is in the right ratio). I have faced this in my Hunk as well. May be the stock Zappers are not so grippy.
7. The front tyre squeals on hard braking as well.

Overall, GS fits my bill perfectly and I am happy with my purchase despite a few negatives mentioned above.

Re: Suzuki GS150R


I could not find a replacement. I was looking for Inazuma. But it is out of my Budget. Waiting for Pulsar 200 SS

Re: Suzuki GS150R


Wait for Suzuki Gixxer and then make a decision.
