Hello,
i visited Swargate suzuki Pune yesterday for mileage issue, they did the CO setting and its has improved to 55 + (the reading it gave in 100 ml test ride was 5.5). So i am hoping that issue is resolved for now at least. I told them about poor headlight and gave them the news that electricals have been changed. The service manager seemed surprised, he inquired and got to know that it was indeed true. So he agreed to replace my Rectifier unit under warranty, but the problem was he didn't know whether the new bikes in his lot had it.
We checked my GS rectifier code it is SH727AA where as the new ones had "BA" as last two characters. He promised to confirm it and replace it in my 3 rd service which is next month.(I have taken it in writing so i can believe his promises.

)

New GS owners kindly post the Rectifier code on xbhp. The code is there on the rectifier besides the engine. If you are not able to locate the recitifier/regulator then please reply i can post a pic.

Also guys i have a question (I know this has been discussed before pls bear with me), Can only by changing the rectifier/regulator and keeping everything same improve the headlight beam Or do i need a new bulb/ battery??

I was offered Tea n biscuits and they were also very courteous throughout the time i was there.
The real reason for their courtesy was that i had complained to suzuki twice on their site and also called their western region service manager..............

Hi buddy, even i did 100ml test In my bike by SC,it stop at 6.2 means 62kmpl,but still it gives me 40 or 40+kmpl only,so check it ur mileage R to R,also about the bulb u asked , i changed the orginal bulb to philiphs extreme 12v 35w,which is slightly improved with old rectifier,I also informed my SC about new Rectifier,
But i expect suzuki itself inform all the Old GS150R owners as well as dealers about this and replace all under warranty, this is to keep the good will of the company

Friend, this is common in Cars, surprisingly you are getting in bike also? !!!!

today i went for that free service camp. i reported rusted petrol tank,handle bar & poor rear brake.

they took photos of rusted parts and replaced my petrol tank & rear brake spring. now my rear brake is awesome. it acts like a disc... but now i am really afraid of applying rear brake.

but the resonance increased like anything.. engine oil also changed.. but nothing improved the smoothness.. i feel they made some misalignment while servicing.. i think to ride it for couple of days. and if it persists will take my bike on this saturday. to the sc.

Yesterday i got my bike from SC after 1st service. Need to mention 2 things, Rear brake is pathetic and gears shifting is becoming hard once engine gets hot, any idea what could be the reason? Should i also get Rear brake spring changed?

Try changing the oil n see if it becomes better.
Right now i'm using shell advance, the gear shifting has improved, not ideal but improved anyway.
Sometimes the gear changes to next when i just give a little tap(especially 2nd to 3rd),wish all gears were like this

Next change i'll try elf moto4gold/pro, It has JASO MA2 spec so it may help making gear shifts more smooth.

suzuki sells bikes thru local bike shops ??
first time i'm hearing anything like this.

and mirrors,side stand,saree guard and leg guard come as standard with the bike. dont consider it as accessories.

accessories are tank cover,handle grips, seat cover, indicator buzzer, teflon coating etc etc.

Hi xbhpians,
i am going to book bike from airport road suzuki,bangalore.
I'll be taking it on cash delivery. Any experiences what kind of cash
discounts usually dealers give?

What are the other things I need to take care during booking.
Other than looking for R()$T and scratches?

what are the Free Stuff i should ask for

?? anything other than thefalcon specified above.

Any idea about local bike shops? where are they? is it advisable to go there?

Take a flashlight (!!) and see that the inside of petrol tank (esp around the mouth area) is r**t-free.
Ask the high beam of the head lamp to be lowered a bit. The low beam gives out a beam that is too spread-out. Lowering the high beam solves the light problem to some extent, though you are compromising on highway driving at night.
Don't forget to get a good pair of rubber grips fixed on the handles.
Go ahead and book it...you'll love the bike!

Congrads Sajith and welcome to Xbhp... but why 100 CC(have a doubt if Shaolin is 100cc ), 150CC, 180 CC and again 150CC ???

Damn, today was the worst day ever.

Fell off my bike for the first time.
never thought i'd skid and fall in a million years

Stupid cement roads and rain, ruins the tyre grip completely.

Anyway, what all internal damages might have occurred.
i applied brakes, came almost to a stop(say 5km/h) from 40,
then skidded at the ending and fell to the right.
there are scratches on the brake lever(front and back),handle end, leg guard, and silencer, mirror bent but i managed to put it back somehow.
nothing major though since i managed to reduce the speed a lot.
luckily i'm fine, not even a scratch

Do i have to check wheel alignment or engine or if silencer has become loose or anything ?

And to top it all off, from yesterday my battery problem has come back.
display goes off if i use button start.

**speed deamon** · 12-21-2009, 08:30 PM

^^^

dude wat a coincidence even i fell of my bike but to the leftside nothing happened to me and my bike a minor scratch on indicator an brake lever thats it one car fellow suddenly opened the door

so i fell from my bike this is my first time from my 7yrs of experience any way there is no need to check ur silencer see that ur battery connections are good
