Who says a GS150R is heavy...134 kgs..... Heavy???? My Zma weighs 150 ks(aprox.) and it still is not heavy. Ok, Heavy in comparision to which vehicle??? Zeus? Weighs 114 kgs??? Heat weighs 110 kgs, Access 109 kgs. so, Dear Mate, how come GSR is Heavy.

If thats the case my Dear Friend, then dont ride a GS 150R!

I fail to understand how do we find weight distribution a matter of concern when the vehicle is on the parking stand. Phew...!
Dear, a vehicle is supposed to be parked on stand and moved on wheels, so if you find that while moving, a vehicle is going haywire.....get rid of the vehicle, but please for God sake...parked vehicle and weight distribution.....pssssst..... !

I hope you were badly disappointed.

As for the rusting factor of tanks, Mates if any one of you is aware of the 7 tank pre coating process, you would understand how does and MS sheet gets Rusted. Also, dont think that few compliants from customers will make the Zukis change their vendors. Get back to reality Mates.!

Yet another sheer case of putting your foot forward......

and if I say that GS 150R is 134 kgs...am I tad too wrong???


Dry Weight (kg) 134 Curb Mass (kg) 149
Mates, dont just get into finding faults...... get real!

and should have read the entire post before saying the things.

well yes you are wrong as in the real world situation the Kerb weight would only matter . dry weight doesnt include Oils , fuel , battery etc and no bike can run without them .
and also you are comparing the 134 kg dry weight of Gsr to the 149 kerb mass of Karizma .

Sarcasm prevails Mate!!

Ok, So your take is that with one wheel removed, the bike does not balance properly on a Center stand!!! so, does this imply that the weight is not properly distributed???? or is to say that the center stand is basically not at the center. Please understand the difference and use proper words that should not be misleading.

Mate, I agree that most of the vehicles, apart from from few like Jawa would rest on the front wheel while on center stand. but that still is not a case of uneven weight distribution.


Also, are you sure that the weight of the vehicles in the class tht you have mentioned is on the same plane????

People say that adding a bit of oil with the petrol once in 6 months will be useful, like no rust in petrol tank and engine will be smooth... but honestly i never tried that, but one thing for sure it never creates any problem unless until the quantity of the oil is too much...

mine is orange GS and i have rusted tank... so its not the case with only blue GS

Ya Bro...I totally agree with you....that adding oil in a 4 stroke bike is not such a good idea....its just that the showroom guy suggested me....

I discussed all the problem whichever were posted in this form with the showroom guy....and expect for the rusting.....his only standard answer was that...."when the bike is new...such problems will be there...but once...it has some thousands kms it will be OK...."

Hey you have a Orange GS.....man that's a killer color.....it looked really awsome in the showroom....I had thought of buying only black....because...my current Pulsar is also black...and black is color that never looks old.....

But man I was really impressed buy the Orange one...its a beauty.....well it really has me in two minds now...whether to go for Black or Orange....

Well I will decide soon.....

Guru,
Even I basically feel that this problem is more common in the blue colour.I have seen rusting in black colour also.I do not like the idea of putting oil in petroil tank as it is not advised by the company and all the new engines are 4 stroke engines which do not require oil mixed in petrol.

I still dont understand why the Suzuki guys are not doing anything for this problem or maybe they are experimenting with the issue and may be a permanent solution.

Till then keep checking your tanks & bikes for rust & report to the service centre.

Also not to forget..Keep Riding

When i kick start my bike, my leg(above the ankle) dashes against the leg rest and causes pain.

I cant flip the leg rest before kick starting as the leg rest has got springs.

Has any one of you experienced this?

Man... you are in the same position when i was while buying GS... me too had black pulsar which is a killer indeed... but finally settled with orange GS... hope you also will end orange GS...

Ya I too hope the same...well when I saw the orange in Pictures it was not much appealing but in the showroom....it looked a beauty....it really has a strong road presence...

Hey bro you are from bangalore?? Where did you buy the bike??? Which showroom??

I enquired in rajajinagar and the guy told me if I want to exchange my pulsar it would cost 30K and the rest 37K I should pay....will it be a good deal..??

Did you sell your Pulsar or do you own it still???

the main prob is my native is bangalore but i work in Hyd. I cant buy the bike here as I cannot exchange my Pulsar here in hyd as it has a Karnataka reg.
If I want to buy the bike in Bangalore...I will have to transport a brandnew bike from bangalore to hyd....which I do not want to...

So I am just stuck with it...anyway i have to decide by next month....
