Re: Suzuki GS150R
Questions: Experienced people please advise:
1. Is it required to put tank cover? Somewhere I read it will lead to rust in the tank...etc. But I got one small scratch on the petrol tank yesterday for a bike delivered 4 days ago..So to avoid scratches few collegues advised me to put tank cover. Please confirm
2. The dealer/sales person told me that saree guard and the crash guard (the square thing which comes in between front wheel and engine) does NOT come as a standard fitment and it comes under additional accessories. Is this true?Comment

Re: Suzuki GS150R
Hi mates, Just one query.
Is it good to do engine braking ? or will it damage the engine ? ( I use it often mainly when passing Humps)Comment

Re: Suzuki GS150R
I think on GS150ROriginally posted by nikhil.krishnan View Post
- Every time we close throttle we'll be engine-braking. We're in fact closing throttle valve.
- During normal operations engine(combustion chamber) drives the rear-wheels. During engine-braking motorcycle's momentum drives engine.
- Effectiveness of engine-breaking depends on how effectively supply lines are cut-off. Pilot-bypass circuit & Idle-screw turns on throttle valve.
I'm sure engine is designed to handle engine-breaking (vacuum suction).
To avoid engine braking we need to dis-engage clutch every time we close throttle. Doing so, we'll have to engage actual brakes to decelerate not to mention unnecessary clutch wear when we re-engage.There is no honest path to prosperity - KoKa

Re: Suzuki GS150R
err.. well with all those terms, you are confusing me. :P
making it simple,
when am approaching a hump if my speed is 50 kmph, i will just apply a little bit brake(only if required) and then downshift immediately to 4th or 3rd gear and will release clutch as well as brake. So the bike will slow down to the corresponding gears speed and will pass the hump without any probs/jumping.
will it affect our engine badly in any way ? or is it ok to do it..? personally, i like using engine braking.Comment

Re: Suzuki GS150R
Yes, it's ok & will not affect engine aversely. It's what most of us do.Originally posted by nikhil.krishnan View Post
If you're braking hard, try blipping while down-shifting; it helps.There is no honest path to prosperity - KoKa

Re: Suzuki GS150R
All the good riders use engine braking and encourage others to do the same. It is considered a good practice.Originally posted by nikhil.krishnan View Post
No it wont damage the engine in any way. On the plus side your brake pads and clutch disc will last twice as long as other people.I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.Comment

Re: Suzuki GS150R
And on the downside it will increase the wear of engine parts which are multiple times more costly than brake pads and clutch plates.Originally posted by Ankey View Post
Engine is more costly than pads! Keep this thing in mind before making braking a habit.
It should not be used extensively and only when necessary.
Ride safe and have fun.

Re: Suzuki GS150R
Is it(engine-wear due to engine-braking) more than the normal operation(positive throttle)?Originally posted by nadz11.ns View PostThere is no honest path to prosperity - KoKa

Re: Suzuki GS150R
But why to add the more wear when we can just use brakes. ?Originally posted by SparKot View Post
Engine wear is gonna happen, but why multiply it. That's what i'm saying. Actually i have said the same in other threads also. Riders choice it is

Do you pull-in (disengage) clutch every time you close throttle?Originally posted by nadz11.ns View PostBut why to add the more wear when we can just use brakes. ?

I completely agree with you on one instance, "Panic Braking". Some say "don't touch clutch" during hard-breaking, use engine-braking as much as possible & down-shift too matching the speed!!!
I disagree with them, it's "Panic Braking" for heaven's sake. All I can think/do is squeeze all levers(brake/clutch/pedal) and coast my bike to safety without skidding.There is no honest path to prosperity - KoKa

Folks, I wanted to do DC conversion in my bike. But I am not a DIY guy and need some assistance to do it. Is there anyone available in Chennai who can do this for me? And how much cost this would involve?Comment
