That's really sad but still I feel that Gs has the most comfortable riding posture amongst 150-160 CC bikes.

Hi all,
Am new to this thread, using the forum to browse through favorite bikes and modes. Now coming to the point that happened to coming to this thread. My sister's husband had using this bike until 2019 something. He had some troubles because of his busy life he didn't looked properly and at the flood time in kochi he had no choice except to leave the bike the as there was no option than running with your life. The bike was all wet and meter console was gone, given to workshop and he done service it will run ok, nothing else work. It had some sound of piston and cylinder but he never looked for service as his thought was who is gonna spend more money on already 10 year old bike, then one day kicker was jammed ,already left without battery somehow managed to come home and the cylinder jammed. Then he got a bullet and this bike was lying there for 2 years with all rust and possible damage that can occur while in all rain and summer.

Earlier i was having Bajaj CT100 from 2016-2021 a family members bike, returned as it turned out to be some problems we had. I was fully satisfied with that bike, spending about 35K for various things and full retest.

After CT100 left me, i had no choice to buy a new one or used one. That time he told me try this bike if any juice had left to run, then going through forum i contacted RAIS@vypin and had some long talks and finally transported that bike here. Initially i was out of hope that most of the mechanics are afraid to touch and finally got a mechanic here and then came the challenge of out of stock parts. Then he serviced the machine in running condition as i noticed the piston sound , while checking the cylinder and piston have serious damage. replaced it completely along with timing chain. This started at last of feb2022. Then while disassembly i saw a lot of rust here and there , but no serious damage were seen in chassis, but not satisfied the vehicle was completely disassembled for painting. A lot of things where changed im really lost in tracking of this period. 1 week back it got delivered in all new showroom condition. Feels very good own this bike. Engine very smooth, almost zero vibrations i felt.

welding in center stand as its support side was rusted
carburetor cleaning and setting and re tuning after 500kms
tank bend service
chain cleaning as the sprocket has still life left before changing to new one
gear small shafts lever has diagonal hole instead of circle so welded to fit
front brake air went was broken so services that too
while disassembly the headlight and its cowl screw where so tight so the locking broken so a nearby patch work done some jugad with metal mesh for fitting

now the back shock is damaged given for re conditioning, he said he'll thread the big cylinder and change stem as it has scratches and lock with a screw thread metal along with additional oil seal. Og suspension is too costly , when i go through the forum apache and phoenix matches but apache is hard and pheonix heght little high or spring is large that according to RAIS@vypin using , the back wheel down even in centre stand. so gonahead with recondition.

This is my 1st and lengthy post here. If any mistake kindly excuse. Will edit this post after suspension is serviced and anything additional had to add.

The total cost of vehicle including all service and painting costed me 40K. Still digiconsole is not there, need to service by self or buy used or new one(2-4k).and also after 1st oil change need to replace clutch set(1.8K). Will post the photos soon



And also one kind request if anyone is maintaining whatsapp or telegram group kindly post the link here or in pm. So we can get an active group and also help each others for knowledge and spares.

hi everyone,
Was very busy with personal affairs ,so didn't get a chance to post here, did a few replacements on my gsr, will be posting them one by one. My LHS indicators started malfunctioning, even though i had cleaned and serviced them, on inspection found that the wires were hard and frayed .so decided to buy a new one. AS usual no stock, this is a 2010 model. the connectors on the newer model are different so take note before replacing. finally found 1 from a private dealer in trivandrum, Just note the manufacturing date on the label, lucky to have found it ,

I also changed the LHS switch assembly and complete lock set sometime back. But luckily I got it from nearest ASC and was direct fit
​​​​​​Also met with an accident recently, gear lever bent had to pull out with hand and LHS footrest was bent, replaced with the pulsar one and was direct fit.

1000kms more to go.....

Found a gs r about to be scrapped nearby so got the headlight and digiconsole{ console was already dead i needed only the glass}. As yo u can see from the photos the difference between mine and the other headlight is like night and day. I had earlier tried to use a 60 wattt bulb that caused my reflector to darken. when i visited the next day to check for some other spares it was already gone, felt stupid should have bought the rear indicator and cdi unit also, god knows how long would suzuki provide spares for this bike.

135k kms that is some serious milage. In my bike I can see some minor cracks development on techo glass as well.

finally the proud moment for the man and the machine is here..100000kms on my GS150R completed today that too on stock engine. 13 years and 100000 kms. QQ

completed 1.5 lakh kms a few days ago.

Kindly send your phone number...I bought my vehicle 09.09.2009...

did some major replacements after a long time. replaced the spark plug with an aftermarket BOSCH, and it works fine, my regular idemitsu semisynth was out of stock so got a motul fully synth for 100 rs more, doesnt feel much difference though, will wait and see. replace my rear Tyre with a newer brand,,REISE tour r.. cost rs2400/ .. the earlier michelin lasted 2 years 8 months and 52000 kms.This time got an oem air filter. the aftermarket lasted for around 27000 kms..

so after a long time , gave my gs to a FNG for replacing the gear lever, bought the necessary spares and was surprised to see the cost of some items,, the rear drum brake shoe is now almost 500rs, earlier after market one costed just rs200/.. the gear lever had a large play to it due to wear and tear,{mine is a 2010 model} , i could have given it to lathe and welded ,and rectified it , but i thought if it cost just around 400/ then why not replace the entire assembly . Another important point , you can see the date of manufacture of the parts on the label , the latest one being sept 2023.. I just cant believe Suzuki is making spares for this discontinued model and we have guys with newer models complaining of nonavailability of spares.

Hi,
My ride is nearing its end of life. come 2025 and it will have completed 15 years of its existence. I certainly don't need another bike , All this time I was thinking I was the only with this model and distance , in my area, when by chance I met some one on the vypin Ro-Ro with this same model and year of production, He was a field technician and had a exceptionally high odo , in fact it put my bike to shame when i heard he is still on his original piston/ cylinder .. his distance covered was 2.63lakh km. he had replaced his rear shocks quite a few times as he used to carry his heavy tools/spares on the back... so coming to the point i feel my clutch is nearing its end of life as my clutch lever felt quite loose , i tried some settings on the clutch cable but thought there was nothing else to do and so ordered the clutch discs and hub /springs from a nearby shop that buys them from Suzuki authorised spare dealers in coimbatore.In the meantime felt some rather large amount of play in my clutch lever , the bolt holding the lever was a bit loose so bought that too.
the new bolt and nut look different from the original one but on replacing the play was reduced to a large extent and so i decided to postpone the clutch replacement ,will try to extend to the maximum and replace, since i already have the spare clutch no need to fear lack of spares.
By the way it costed only rs13 , 10 for bolt and 3 for nut.

Hi Guys, I'm a nubie to this group. Using a 2010 GS150r MGrey. Currently at 38k done. Planning to do a huge maintenance to keep the bike in pristine condition.
