    Top speed should have reduced now, because i found it less eager to climb past 106.


    Front is a Michelin City Pro

    The tyres are of Bias type and made at TVS srichakra

    The old Zappers still have some tread in them - one or two cracks occurred due to punctures.
    Thanks a lot for the update, r0shack!

    Congratulations on the upgrade, I believe it is a necessary one for GS, especially during the rainy season!

    Did you by any chance compare the weight of the stock tyre (100mm section) to the new one? There should be a difference in weight between the tubeless one and the older T/T one + tube. Other than that I can only think of the new tyre having a softer contact surface, therefore reducing your top speed. Did you also go for a fatter front tyre? It looks pretty good.

    Cheers,

    Gilbert

    Mileage is still between 50-55,

    Please keep us posted!

    Was this the first chain set that was replaced? 45K sounds like a lot to me...

    Excellent! I heard they are now launching GS150r (1st or 2nd generation, I am not sure) in Pakistan. The video can be viewed here. That should mean parts will be available for yet some more years!

Yes last two year road condition in my became pathetic, I think only because of this reason my engine damaged. I hope they will repair the engine very well so my GS can kiss the road again for 81000 KM.
    Friend how is your bike is performing after repairing engine?
    Were you given a diagnostic yet? What can harm an engine that was made to last (earlier than 100,000 Km anyway!?)

    Cheers,

    Would like to ask you the same question as above
    It did cost approximately 66k on road back then in 2009. Including cash back offer of rupees 3000.

    Now engine needs to open and chain set need to replace at 81K Km.

Are y'all been given and warranty or is this some stunt that Suzuki is pulling ?

    My GS did 146KMPH yesterday. Of course on Main Stand. I never imagined a 150cc can do such speeds.

    How's fuel efficiency?

    I am using currently discover 125 cc and its great bike but after 60-65 km it vibrate a lot.

    I am not fast driver, will use it below 75-70 always..

    Need input guys
    Purchase it if the papers are clear.

    Suzuki or no other manufacturer is going to produce such a touring friendly sofa on 2 wheels. You just have to live with its low pickup in city limits.

    I used to ride 120 Kms on daily basis and it easily returns 55+ KMPL if ridden between 50-80 KMPH. Good Luck.

    My GS was hibernating since insurance expired in August.

    My daily ride has increased from 60 KM to 120 KM because of office location change( again ).
    So I am planning to start riding GS again.

    To start with I have did the below tasks.

    1) Replace front Fork Oil (Castrol 20W. SparKot's DIY on fork conditioning was very helpful when i lost track of what I was doing. Thank you Sir)
    2) Replaced Rear Shock absorbers with OEM Gabriel units (3500 RS a pair (MRP of 1815 a piece). I should have purchased it last year when it was 2800 a pair)
    3) Charged Battery
    4) New Michenlin Front Tire

    GS will be back to cruising mode when I renew my Insurance

    It is a sofa on 2 wheels. If the running-in/breaking-in was done well, not abused and driven gently (mild acceleration and 60-70 kmph in 6th gear) mileage would easily be 55-60 kmpl for GS. There will be a very mild vibration in 3500-4000 rpm called resonance - not intrusive. Engine is capable of running lacs of kms on the stock bore itself. Suzuki's spares might not be as easy to procure as your Bajaj but are long-lasting.

    Thanks r0rshack for your feedback. I don't have the numbers to support the video, but as you agree as well, these small adjustments go along in saving some fuel and thus improving the overall efficiency.

    Have a nice day!
