        • Every morning my bike does not start untill I have given 10 -15 kicks that too with choke. Even when it starts its at 1000 rpm. Its not that cold (or not at all cold ) in the morning still in pune . I was wondering then what will happen in winter season if this continues. Is this

          eco mode and power mode ar only indicators, not connected to engine in any way so u can ride how u want in any mode.
          My idling rpm is 1000 rpm only when i first start it in the morning or after long gap and then after warm up its 1500 rpm . i think i need to talk to SC about it .

            Guess the carb needs some tuning&also idle setting must be done when the engine is warm, not cold!
            Try doing it yourself once, with the screw on the left side under the fuel tank. Its harmless.

              Ya Bro...I know about the 3000rs off scheme....but what a pity I will be buying the bike only next month....so I think I will not be able to get that scheme....
              Maybe...there will be some other scheme....at that time....as it will be festival season...probabaly a 5000 Rs Off...

              Airport road is quite far from my home...i might try in Rajajinagar...or as I am at present working in hyderabad.....I might buy here itself....this waiting is really getting on to me....

                I spoke to few guys here who bought the bike in Hyd..and i didnt hear any complaints of rusting from them here..so,no hiccups..The showroom guys are assuring me that they will take full responsibility incase of any such issues and have the tank replaced
                anyways, i have 2 more days of time to make up my mind..i will go for another round of test driving just to have that feel one more time..Its just that im more apprehensive abt this rusting trouble bcoz of my bad experience with my current bike when it was new..otherwise , i would blindly have gone for GS without 2nd thoughts...

                @Guru : No guru, im not expecing the bike(built by Not so perfect Humans) to be perfect.., i just want to minimize the risk of any headaches after buying the bike ..Also, it seems to be a long wait for you before you can lay hands on your newbie..happy waiting till then..
                Also, thanks to Sarvajit,Sharshas, abhijeet,Falcon,Shadowfox and mathew for your kind suggestions..
                will tell you guys as soon as the bike got delivered...
                Also, you ppl could tell us more about your personal experiences of after sales servicing of suzuki...


                Well bro congrats....for choosing the bike built by not so perfect humans....
                Hey man i understand your concern....but do not worry...the GS is really a good bike....only just those little flaws.....
                hey man....I am too in Hyderabad....where are you buying the bike....let me know....I will try to come...while you get the delivery....there are hardly 3 showroom in hyd....the Rashtrapti bhavan road...the rajbhavan road...and Kukatpally...let me know where you are buying...
                As I will also probabaly buy my bike....in Hyd itself....so if the showroom guys re really that good...then I will surely want to meet them...

                Just let me know....which shownroom....and what is the Onroad price you are getting....
                Hey guys everybody is buying the bike....I am following this thread from the longest time....and I have not yet bought.......just can't wait to get my hands on the bike....
                just for the itch and feel of the bike I had the test driven already....5 times....

                    Hey man congrats....Just make sure of the usual things....the wheel alignment and all you do not have to bother...those will surely be taken care in manufacturing...just look out for the probelms that will be caused after manufacturing....
                    As you said the dents...scartches....any loose wiring connections....give a through inspections...take your own time..and then sign the delivery receipt....
                    happy riding buddy....make sure you do a puja.... immediately after you buy.......just for the sake of it....atleast you feel good....

                    Post the pics soon...can't wait to see them.....

                      I wish I could ., Pls tell me what's special about the factory..you mean, it is so modern or they don't use bought-out items on GSR and that things we see on the bike are all manufactured in-house by Suzuki. Generally, that is not the case, but I could be wrong about the tank. BTW, I look forward to that gentleman joining the club. I myself am toying with the idea of buying a GSR and would like all such minor issues to be sorted out by the company before I take the plunge.

                          Hey...congrats again bro...the first ride in a new bike always feels awsome...
                          hey man its a new bike...and you are riding first time...the ears will be new...so it feels a bit hard...once the engine warms up....and gets tuned....the gears will be butter smooth....do not worry about that....

                          So another member added to the GS owner group....that is really good...

                          Keep it up guys we are doing really a good job.....is'nt it....good social work I suppose....

                              Bro...the shell has both....normal (Shell Unleaded) and Premium (Super Premium Unleaded) petrol....generally the difference between the normal and premium is 3 to 3.50 rs....and also compared to other petrol the shell petrol is a bit costlier....
                              now at present I am not sure exactly though....the normal petrol rate in shell is 50 rs and premium is around 53....
                              I am not exactly sure....about the cost..it is nearby the price I told you...

                              generally the people say there is no difference between Normal and premium....it might be true....but there is a difference between...other petrol bunksand Shell petrol...it is far superior...and you can feel it in the bike....there will be a extra smoothness and you get a good mileage.....

                              Sorry...I generally tend to go on talking....

                                when i press the front brake lever i can hear a click sound from the lever itself. any idea what it is ??
                                shell is 50.65.
                                i filled 5lt, the fuel indicator is at one bar itself, only stopped blinking !?!
