    Regarding the problems there is no easy solution, check everything, head to tail.

    PS: Do not leave the motorcycle with any mechanic/SVC overnight for repair. Be present during repair/inspection work to stop further screw ups.
    Yea it was in my parking from February, unused.
    Ok if you know whether by changing to a new carburator, will the Air/Fuel mixture go back to factory settings?

        No. GS 2010.. I'm a bit desperate for now so I did some multi thread postings.

          You need to be sure that existing components are useless before replacing them.

          Fuel & Exhaust lines/circuits
          Electrical lines/circuits
          then
          Transmission/Drive lines/circuits

          Tasks from Periodic Maintenance Chart from Owner's Manual are easy to begin with.

          In that case, create a new thread under below section. Since it's a rare case, someone(irrespective of motorcycle) out in xBHP universe might have gone through a similar scenario; esp those who revive old motorcycles.

            The ride is roughest ever in four years. Its making noises 'Gad gad gad gad' taq taq ta gad taq while riding.

            real issue now-

            Mechanic told me carburator settings are tampered and fuel screw is jammed and half rusted. Impossible to turn in any way round.

            1. I start my bike, its at 1.5K, the ride starts, when say Im in 2nd gear at 30 & I decide to change gear to 3rd and press clutch, immediately suddenly RPM goes upto 4K and beyond. I slowly release clutch and then it comes back to normal. This happens even when I plan to brake.

            **Mechanic says this is because my clutch plates are gone, without even looking at it**

            what Im thinking-

            1. Should I buy a new carburator so I dont get this sudden 4K rpm issue and so that Air Fuel mixture is at factory setting?
            2. Or is this sudden 4K beyond rpm due to clutch plates?
            clutch wire changed 1K kms ago.

            replace , repaire chock cable and chok machanism only, carburetor side choke machanism has been stuck in choke on position, this is tough so let ASC do it , there are no other faults, take care

              Seems like a very reasonable explanation. Ineffective AFR(due to stuck up Choke) at lower RPMs suddenly raising with little throttle opening.

                I got my carburettor replaced 15 days back under warranty. The engine was going off at lower RPMs such as while in traffic etc. After replacement few days everything was fine. Now engine stalling again at idling. Could it be the carburettor again or something else? Any tips?

                  Hello All,

                  Owners of "White" GS150R, this question has been asked in this thread before, I am just asking again to get an update: "Does the colour fade?" There may be owners here with white GS for than 2-3 yrs old with a white GS.

                  I understand being "white" the scratches and dirt are more clearly visible, but with "black" I think the dirt/dust is equally visible too.

                  NineStar Suzuki (Bangalore) didn't have a GS at all today, neither a test ride bike nor a new one. The only GS available was of an owner who had left it for servicing. It was white and looked fabulous. I never thought choosing a colour would involve so much brain work

                  They're not offering any freebie EXCEPT a tank cover. Reading previous posts in this thread, I am shocked they have nothing to offer...anyways, I hope to bargain for a bike cover at least and skip the tank cover instead.

                    Re: Carb screw jammed

                    Take white. My cousin owns a 3 year old pearl mirage white suzuki access. It is spotless as the day he bought it. He takes decent care of it. mostly stored inside garage. Only problem he has is with small spots of tar that will be visible on the tip of the front mudguard. Easily removed by rubbing off with a cloth with few drops of kerosene. I own a black 3 year old unicorn and it is a pain to maintain the paint in good condition. Dust and swirl marks are highly visible under the sun. Even thought i took good care of it, the people at the SVC manage to scratch the paint every time its given for service. When you give for service ask them to not wipe down the bike after water service. come back and do it yourself.

                      Well, there is nothing new that you can't guess. With little hands-on I can only guess the below:

                      1. Increase the warm idle-rpm to 1,600 & see if it sustains idling. What's the idle-rpm during cold-start and after warm-up?
                      2. What's the condition of Air-Filter & when was it last cleaned. Hope they did during servicing. Check the status of air-filter, esp damages.
                      3. What's the condition of spark-plug & how old is it?
                      4. Check if choke is working as expected. Start the engine with choke on and notice engine idling at higher RPM. Close the choke slowly and notice falling RPMs to idle-value.
                      5. Pilot air & fuel circuit may be congested. Since it's only 15 days since new-carburettor you can't rule out fuel contamination. Do you trust the fuel source, i.e. petrol bunk?
                      6. How old is the engine-oil ?
                      7. Is the rubber-flange(clamp) between carburettor & engine-inlet is firm and no leakage?


                      It just that engine has to sustain an RPM in neutral gear with a feasible AFR while working against minute clutch friction. Think of anything/everything which can hinder this process.

                      Clutch-friction in Neutral while idling: put the bike on centre stand notice the speed of rear-wheel. I don't have any theory as to why rear wheel has to spin.

                      Owners with more hands-on experience can narrow down to the cause very quickly.

                        Great! thank you for your msg. It is exactly the sort of a reply I was hoping for

                        And thanks also for the tip about wiping the bike after washing. I'll keep it in mind depending on whether they're gonna do a wax polish or not (which, based on my knowledge from this thread, is done after they wash the bike)

                        Rgds,

                          Showroom query

                          Hello again everyone!

                          I'm unable to figure how to use this website to find reviews about Suzuki service centers/ showrooms. Based on my reading, it should be under "What" section, but I'm unable to get relevant search results.

                          I'm looking for showrooms (in Bangalore) with good feedback from customers. Based on this thread, "Apple Auto" hasn't impressed many I guess.

                          Reason for looking for another showroom besides NineStar Suzuki (which is hardly 10-15 mins from where I stay) is cuz they don't have a TD GS150R (and they will only get a new TD bike by end Feb 2015)

                          Thanks in advance.
                          Rahul

                                As per their email (copy pasted below), they sold it. My email to them was about inquiring if they have the TD bike available or not.
