Good going! Now use the remaining 20W-50 in the same way (To add that extra 100 ml). Gulf 4T Pride Plus - the oil that's strawberry red. Where did you buy it (shop name, location). Use SGP filter as much as possible, but yes, very vaguely remember PSR sir telling Apache filter is a direct fit. It comes with a rubber washer on inner end no?

Hello friends,

As usual, I prefer to be around the motorbike (GS150r) when it is being worked on, today was no different. I was shocked to learn following:
1) chain cleaning and lubrication was done without even opening the chain cover. Bill said Rs 150 for this job.
2) brake pads were not cleaned, nor checked
3) greasing and various lubrications was carried out BEFORE water washing
4) nothing was done in the name of battery check

I would like to know what all places in the bike we should the general lubrication and what materiel can we use to do the same?
Till now I only lube the chain once every 500 KM and leave everything with the svc guys.

Mine is 4 yr old bike and i don't have the manual with me. Can you guys help in any other way?

Grease..
Clutch lever
Side stand
Stand spring hooks

Oil..
Clutch cable (svc says no need to but I use to do).
Gear shifter
Centre stand.
Brake pedal.
Key(very sparingly).
Brake rod near rear drum (wipe it with oil to prevent rusting)

Chain (oil or grease as u wish).

2.why did old oil MOTUL 15w50(3500kms) smell like fried up(burnt smell).? ..

@Rajesh1136: You are right as far as the names go,but I have a tendency to look and experience beyond just names
CR7HIX- C-hex size 5-8,Resistor-type,7-graded cold type,H-half thread,Iridium Nine(IX)
CPR7HSA-C-hex size 5-8,P-Projected type,Resistor-type,7-graded cold type,H-half thread,Standard special design A.
CR7HSA-C-hex size 5-8,Resistor-type,7-graded cold type,H-half thread,Standard special design A.

So what does it mean................
Iridium plugs are meant for constant ignition and higher temperatures as natural.Standard plugs do not have that character.
The only difference here seems to be the P,the main doubt.
P means projected electrode,this design was developed for Zeus and GSR both,reason being providing a higher temperature during combustion at lower rpms.The projected electrode,delves further(by 1mm only) into the combustion chamber,so that it gets constantly drenched in flame and sparks constantly for providing ample high temperature at lower rpms for torque.
But on Iridium plugs this is not required,iridium sparks are already far more constant and sparks regularly at higher temperatures by default,projected tip on this type of plug is not recommended as engine may overheat.The Iridium spark plug thus keeps the low-end performance of your bike similar to the stock,but where the plug really shines is in high-end and mid-range along with a lifespan longer than the stock plug and with a better fuel efficiency.
P-type spark plugs are not recommended on bikes meant for high performance,at higher temperatures these projected tips gets worn down very fast,so to a person for whom the GSR is an all-rounder,his stock spark plug would end its life soon.Signs of bad spark plug,low pick-up in the whole rev-range,wearing out of the ceramic insulator,too much carbon deposits and broken tip.
Non-projected sparkers are always for high performance machine,they dont have the risk of getting scorched at mid and high end throttle inputs when the temperature is huge in the combustion chamber.

The Iridium advantage.......though non-projected but being plug of higher induction temperature,the low end support from this plug wont vary from the stock plug performance,but at mid and high rev ranges,where the life of spark plug is truly put to test......it passes with flying colors as Iridium plugs melts at uber high temperatures so no tip breaking,being non projected-no ceramic insulator wearing due to high combustion temperature and superb performance and fuel efficiency for constant sparks and better combustion performance.

GS150R and Zeus both were recommended as commuters by the market,so the company followed suite.But in reality GS150R is an all-rounder,so anyone who expects better performance and FE from their bikes can use the CR7HIX without any doubt.

P.S. even with this amount of logic and tech,people may ask- how come I am so convinced?? Then let me answer,I used the Access 125 CR6HIX on my Zeus which uses CPR6HSA stock.......and my Zeus never did complain,no carbon deposits or this or that,I still have the iridium plug and its like brand new.My Zeus which was slightly modded with all these was the fastest accelerating 125cc in my city and most Fuel Efficient too.


There is no possibility of mud getting into the gas-shock chambers,or into the suspension.They are all well covered and are put together very tightly.Muds only on the surface,only needs the wash-off
The only region of concern here is mud scouring the chain,so the chain must be kept oiled during monsoons.
Yes,pressure wash is the only way to reach behind the suspension coils to wash the mud off.

I would like to know what all places in the bike we should the general lubrication and what materiel can we use to do the same?
Till now I only lube the chain once every 500 KM and leave everything with the svc guys.

I checked with multiple dealers in Bangalore, they said GS is discontinued. Then I checked with Suzuki customer care number, they confirmed the same. I wrote a mail to their customer care, and then got a reply from 9Star saying they have couple of vehicles available.

The vibration at 3.5-4.5 rpm is really annoying.
