    Dear Friends,


    The negative so far:

    1. Shifting from second gear to neutral is not smooth. Is it normal for a new bike ?

    2. Burning smell is coming from engine after riding 15-20 Kms. Is it normal for a new bike ?

    I need some valuable comments...

    Thank you.
    Dont worry too much about that. Just dont ride in a constant speed for long time and every half hour ride either slow or stop for some time. In my case i find it very easy to shift from 2nd to neutral than from 1st. When changing from first gear to second gear use a little force otherwise it may go to neutral.

      1. the 3500 Vibs still there.

      I finally understood what you meant by vibration in 3500 rpm. Today morning i rode with a pilliion and definitely felt a vibration as the rpm reaches exact 3500. Lower gears didnt make much vibs but top gears do made some. Did you find out what exactly is causing it? One more thing its more prominent in mornings than others as i just rode it back home and didnt feel much.

        Thats resonance vibrations from the engine&almost all bikes have it!

            My bike is just 2 week old and i find it very amusing seeing all 100 cc bikes (splendor and victor) overtook me easily, i was on 4th gear nearly @4000 rpm. I had a pillion too. I thought 100 cc bikes were nothin before my GS. After running in how far can i rev my machine? I have lost some confidence

              Anup, 100 cc bikes are not mopeds, they too are capable of reaching 80+ KMPH speeds, it depends on the driving.

              And I am pretty sure, if you had given them the chase you would have definately overtaken them . Since your bike is new, for the first 1000 KMs you need to be a bit patient.

              Quit tabulating grudges. Let it off. Discuss it, then trash it, don't recycle it.

                  I didnt know that they had this much speed. Mostly riding in 50-55 range, eager to know what it is capable of.

                    Based on the info available (xBHP members and test drive reports from tv channels) GS can easily do 100 - 110 KMPH.
                    I reached 80KMPH during my test drive, I felt it can cross the three digit mark easily, so don't worry.

                      What do you mean by wrong reserves? Is it that the bike goes to reserve even though there are enough fuel in the tank (> 3 litres) ?
                      If so, yes please check with the SC guys.

                      • I dont know how accurate the speedo was when it showed 114 kms.
                        Its not about the BHP or the CC, its about one common religion called Biking!!!

                        Save the Tigers! Only 1411 (excluding ME) are left!

                        • Is it possible to get a mileage of 70+ for GS. Today i just filled a litre after reserve and rode it continuously till the next reserve. The newly set trip shows 73.4 km. After 65 km for the first time i prayed to go to reserve so that it may be true, its still running. I checked twice whether the fuel valve is in reserve position. The air temperature was low around 20 degrees. I guess something is wrong.

                            k i will explain it to u nw i filled my bike with 1litre petrol immediately after reserve and it again came back to reserve after some 25 km i shocked and turned that knob to res posistion and agin to on position it went on upto 36km and again same thing happened what is the problem ? even i am filling petrol frm same bunk(very good bunk). previously i used to get 52-53kmpl nw i am getting 42-45kmpl
                            I can put any Signatures :P

                              Sorry guys for the confusion this was just a fluke on last reserve i got only an average of 40 and was worried. Then i put a litre of petrol to check the average and it rode upto 78 km. I think initially it was not reserve but just a hiccup. Adding with the previous value it will be 59 kmpl. The bike feels good and shifting is effortless.

                              • Hii guys,
                                I think the stock crash guard is too small and want to fit a bigger crash guard. Have anyone changed the crash guard. Personally i like to have a crash guard like the one in Hunk.
