Re: Suzuki GS150R

This issue with choke cable occured again and this time rather than replacing the cable, I just cut it near carburetor leaving a little length looped which I can pull to choke the fuel circuit. Would be a good fix for people having similar issues frequently with their choke cables. FYI.


I recently moved to Bangalore and found Value, and Meghavath Suzuki closest in this area, though haven't been to one yet.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Hello xbhpians,

I have Recently bought used Suzuki gs150r.

I am new to biking and I have no idea about the service centers here in bangalore for this bike. I stay near ramamurthy nagar.

Need your help on finding the best service center here.

Thanks

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Hello guys,

I have noticed some kind of feeling developing on forums concerning Gixxer and related lightweight motorcycles offered by Suzuki (Gixxer SF, V-Strom 250, etc.), now that both GS150r and Inazuma are gone (I believe globally). It seems like a void is being created for a new motorcycle that could be a true replacement for GS. Call me nuts, but IMO, a touring Gixxer (with raised handlebars, more comfortable single seat, decent brakes and tyres, good lighting AND lower weight compared to GS) could be coming from Suzuki. Of course this may never happen, but it would be nice, don't you think? BTW, I am not sure if a 6-speed, 150cc bike like GS is ever coming out of Suzuki's stable again, but that would be absolutely welcome. I mean, there are people complaining about how uncomfortable Gixxer is, and many have deplored the lack of 6th gear on the bike. Just my thoughts.

Anyway, regarding GS these days..! I have found a difference between mineral and semisynthetic oil; after 2,500 Kms, level is exactly the same with semi (Repsol 10w40 Sport) AND power is still great; I am thinking I could push the oil to about 3,000 Kms, as planned, without any noticeable loss in performance. I do not think I am going back to fully synth for some time, as I don't think GS needs more expensive oil. My CR9EHIX spark plug is running great as well. Also, I have washed the modified air filter a 3rd. time with good results, one more time. I don't believe I should buy a new air filter, as the mod on my filter took me about 2 hours to finish, and it is a bit expensive here! I thought I should mention tappet noise is kept at minimum levels and valves seem to be in top shape, considering performance alone. My next project is removing the carburettor to copy the settings that have worked so well on my bike, just in case I switch to a Special Edition one.

Talking about mods, upjetting the bike some months ago was probably the best investment on the bike, as even the exhaust sound is that of a bigger cc bike and the engine cooled down even though I rutinely hit 8500 rpms on the open road. This could actually increase engine life, and at 23K kms, the engine on my GS is still young. My advice is guys, before considering getting a bigger motorcycle, go for refinement and a trusty engine and just keep your GS! In other words is, keep your bike in top shape --modify it if you want-- and trust Suzuki India will continue to provide parts for a few more years. Dealers in Mexico are handling demand quite decently. The parts I am not getting as a direct fit for GS I get from Gixxer or they order them for me.

I am still deciding which tyres to fit on GS. Has anyone switched to 110/120 mm lately, how about other improvements?

Cheers,

Gil

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Sorry for the late replies but XBHP keeps logging me out 99/100 times
Today I got lucky.

You can clear the tank breather hole/drain hole by inserting a electric wire or a string. I did the same and removed the rust and dirt in the tube. After removing the dirt, use some kerosene / WD 40 in the water drain hole to prevent future rusting.

Seems your carb is messed up. Remove it, clean it up and install it back and let us know if it worked out.

Thanks gil,

The abroad trip never happened. I got my bike into running conditions in 3 hours when my Unicorn failed one fine day. I have not covered more than 500KMs after removing from storage. But when it rains or when I want to go on a 100KM trip, its GS for me.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Hi guys,

Background:
My GS150R cannot keep up with 1500 on the odometer at the start so I have to use the big screw to tune it till 1500 everyday but when it gets hot after a few Kms it goes up to 1800-2000 so again I bring it down to 1.5k while on my way.
Recently(20-30kms back) my tank was filled with water, got it cleaned but I don't know if he cleaned the carburettor (He said he just opened the carb and removed the water cos a week ago he had himself serviced it)
He also told me the drain hole is choked so water will flow inside anyhow and he put a big plastic tank cover

Issue:
The bike stalls while running. From 1500 it goes down slowly in a second or two and dies. It would start after a few forced self starts and after a lot of throttle it runs. Showed it to him and he said "Air ka problem hai" and did something on the right side near the fuel flow pipe.
It stalled again and he did the same shit and told me it won't happen again and if it did then open the tank lid and close it

A while ago it stalled again, I opened the lid for 2 seconds, closed it and bang it started fine.

Possible Reasons?
1. Is it the tank drainage hold that's building some kind of pressure and hence the stalling?
2. Is it my carburettor? The carb pin is put to place using a tiny plastic piece so it doesn't overflow (been there for 2 years)
3. Is it cos I keep my fuel flow to off mode and put in On cos of Point 2

Please help guys, I have my exams in a month and have to travel daily to the library on my bike.

Re: Suzuki GS150R

Am not sure if one anyone has a service manual for gs150r, I'd say it will help us a lot, gs150r is a very well built bike, I love the 6th gear aspect and the butter smooth engine, am holding on to this bike for long...
