              Please DO NOT mix mineral oil with synthetic oils,both the oils have complete different properties & do not mix well.For more info you can google it.

              PS.The reason I asked you to google it because its a long discussion & I do not wish to put it up here.

                • I need Verdict Peple

                  After reading close to three hundred pages i could come to a conclution that some minor problems in the bike have been over hyped.


                  Yes Rusting issue is big but not all of them faced the same..

                  Now im planning to book this bike in chennai today

                  Questions:

                  1. Where can i book them in chennai ABT Nandanam or Swapna Enterprises Anna Nagar.
                  2. Does mileage really does have a change after some months, coz tht can be a Major issue.

                  3. Main question?, I want a verdict from all those people who own this bike and especially from those who are disscussing problems they have with their bikes. What do you suggest me in one line. I'll go with that verdict... Im delaying my booking until Saturday.
                  I'm awaiting all your response for this post. I've been behind GS 150 R for Months and this is the time I make my decesion.

                    Welcome to the community..!
                    Always people tend to report problems in forums. It is the aim of this forum to discuss problems and ways to rectify it.
                    We believe that, the manufacturers are also watching these problems and trying to correct it in the next versions.
                    All bikes on earth have their own problems.

                    So, don't be confused with these. Take your own decision. As far as I know, GS150R is a smoother bike for city rides (of course, I'm not a owner of GS150R, have taken a test ride once, I own a RTR180, my requirements are different!).

                    I was in Chennai for nearly 4 yrs, but have no idea about Suzuki dealers.
                    Regarding the mileage in "LONG RUN " - yes, it will change definitely depending on your initial running-in and your riding style.

                    Cheers

                      Hi buddy all bikes have their share of problems.So don't think too much and just do what your heart says.Same with me, i too was confused abt which bike to buy.But when ahead and did wht my heart told (my wife guided me).So booked a GS150 and will get the bike on sat.

                          Bro,
                          If you put in 1l full sunthetic oil it will do the job,beacuse its thicker than the mineral oil & you wont need that extra 100ml.

                          Also switch to full synthetic oil,only if you are planning for a long ride,else for normal city riding & weekend trips mineral or semi synthetic will do the job. Do remember that once you switch to full synthetic & return back to mineral oil,you might find your ride a little rough.

                          • Mileage

                            Completed 1050 km on ODO...

                            Upto 1st servicing I used ECO mode..GOT 58 km/ltr
                            Then I used PWR mode....Got 55 km /ltr

                            Just not happy about the Engine vibrations @ 3.5 k & Rear brake....

                            But overall satisfied with the bike...

                              rust- parts can be replaced if u complain to ur SC.

                              roughness- even i feel it becomes little louder after 5km of little rash riding.
                              dont know why so no comments.
                              may be due to less or bad oil. even i'm trying to figure out why.

                              less pick up- accelerate upto 4.5k in lower gears too. its fine.

                              Hi ..Is there any solution to 3.5 k vibrations.....

                              • ^^^wait for some more kms in the odo...if it still exists,changing the engine oil should help
                                It all begins with a thumb-start -- Oh, wait, I forgot the kill-switch
