Buddy i think the GS has 3.5 ltr in reserve since i had read it in the manual.But still not sure.Lets see if some else gives any idea. -
I think some where i saw that reserve is 3 ltr, but not sure. In manual they have specified that fuel indicator will blink at 1.5 ltr. Lets c if some one knows itproperly else will check it.Originally posted by sanjukoli12 View PostComment

Hi I got my bike from 2nd service yesterday. I was sure that I am getting mileage around 54, and still my mind was asking to check it at service center......I insisted on the same and started our mileage test with 100 ml petrol after draining the petrol from carb.
To my surprise my GS ran fro 6.9 Km with 100 ml petrol, which means 69KMPL...
. Even the service center guys were surprised......Now I am in a dilemma whether this figure was true.......has any got this figure in mileage test ????

Wow thats a nice figure, since it was run in test mode it could not be wrongOriginally posted by Jithus View PostHi I got my bike from 2nd service yesterday.

. Dont hesitate to bragg about the value your GS is giving.....
Note:-This method has a flaw compared to other reserve to reserve calculation of mileage. If you put a 100ml of petrol and run in a constand speed without much braking and shifting it will give a good value. But if you drive a little more aggresively the mileage will be very low compared to other since the fuel is less and we are caliberating 100 ml to 1000ml. Usually with a litre of petrol we sometimes run in city or some in highways and this return somewhat more realistic mileage figure.Last edited by Anupdas; 01-28-2010, 02:48 PM.Well-trained reflexes are quicker than luck.........Comment

Atlast my problem is discussed,But what confusing is few of the GS 150R owners report me they got R to R method for their bikes works well,when i ask mileage with other owners they told 60, some other 55,Again when i meet them in service camp here they told me that they thought the mileage is so on so but not tested,means they hope it gives 55 or 60 like thatOriginally posted by sagittarian View PostYou're welcome. This problem is bound to occur when there is no autoretracting choke. Or, they must have a warning indicator in the digital console. Hope future version of GSR will have that and also a side-stand warning.
Guys, it looks like every one is having problem with FE calculation and GSR is returning erratic figures every time. There is some problem with R to R method in GSR. Do not use that method. The point at which the the fuel level falls to reserve (actually, the point at which the engine starts stalling!) varies. Once I filled 2 litres (over and above reserve) and the reserve came after 180 km! The next time I filled it came at 89 km!! Can you believe that! I guess that humongous fuel tank hides a moody reserve indicator!
Finnally when i discussed with my service engg pondy,He told me to do Tankfull till cap level, then drive as usual for 100 to 150 km ,may be three or 4 days depend upon ur usage then fill again till cap level which gives u almost accurate level.
Let see what my bike delivers, as u told me too got 96 km for 2,28ltr then again 120 for another 2.28ltr,which is puzzling me
I got 11 kmpl for 200ml means 5.5 kmpl for 100ml by SC guys from pondyLast edited by akfara; 01-28-2010, 02:49 PM.ABDUL KHADAR

Once i got this kind of figure around 70. In my opinion its always better to fill some 2 litres above reserve and calculate the mileage after it goes to reserve. But some above posts im not sure whether this work . I too had experienced some irregularities in this method
. One thing im sure that we need not worry too much about mileage, as our GS will give good mileage if ridden properly .

Few days ago there was a big discussion as to which method is good to check the mileage of this bike. Same started again !!!!Originally posted by akfara View PostAtlast my problem is discussed,But what confusing is few of the GS 150R owners report me they got R to R method for their bikes works well,when i ask mileage with other owners they told 60, some other 55,Again when i meet them in service camp here they told me that they thought the mileage is so on so but not tested,means they hope it gives 55 or 60 like that

I did an experiment last week. I chcekd the mileage between Blink to Blink. ( when the petrol drops less than 1.5 Liters, the last point starts blinking). My trip was for around 300 Kms on a highway. I got the below mileage
Between 80-110 KMPH 40 KMPL (couldnt cross 113 KMPH)
Between 70-80 KMPH 45 KMPL
Between 65-70 KMPH 51 KMPL
Any one else tested this?
I have a new problem. After riding the bike for 30+ KMs the gear shifting becomes very very hard. Especially if i am in 6th gear and if i have to cross a road hump i will not be able to bring the gear to 2nd or 3rd, i will have to move with 6th Gear only. What could be the reason? This happens once the engine gets hot. Anyone else has this problem?3 Bullet 350cc

GSR Benefit :Originally posted by archat View Post
For Reserve Status , GSR has got manual reserve knob. You will come to know that the bike is in reserve fuel mode. Just change the knob from On position to Reserve position. 3.5 ltr of petrol stored for reserve.
Fuel indicator blinks when, the bike has got less than 1.5 ltr of petrol.
So there is double benefit for fuel indicator in GSR. First one is the normal 3.5 ltr reserve status and the other one is 1.5 ltr less indicator fuel blink status.~~ Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride ~~Comment

Friends, Help needed.
Yesterday night my bike came to reserve. so i thought that now there is 3 liter of petrol. After 30KM drive the fuel indicator started blinking, which suppose to blink when petrol is less then 1.5 liter. so im confused about the mileage now..Comment

Front Disc problem...
Yesterday i noted a squeaking noise from front brake and on examination i found that in the disc brake one particular section is smooth compared to rest of surface, so i inferred " its the point where the pad is touching the disc ". So today on my way from college i went to service centre. Everyone had gone for lunch at that time there was only chief engineer. I went to him and reported my problem. While walking towards the bike i was trying to explain that there is some big problem with my bike. He asked to put the bike in main stand and by rotating the front wheel he poured some water on to disc brake. Everything gone. No sound no squeaking.
I was totally embarassed
seeing it was only a silly matter of dust getting accumulated between pads and disc. Even while washing i purposefully avoided disc getting wet fearing it might damage pad. Engineer then described that its designed to work best in both rainy and dry conditions always keep pads free from dust otherwise it will make these kind of sound. Well atleast i learned a new lesson.

No issues buddy... There has been scenarios where the indicator started to blink even before the bike went to reserve for me...Originally posted by archat View Post.... and I have seen this problem with some one else also in this forum[dont remember who it was]... There is some minor defect in the calibration of the fuel level indicator which I'm not sure of the reason... I'll have to examine the how the fuel level in measured in the tank then we can come to a conclusion...
Simple explanation is this... I presume the level is measured in the left side of the tank.... So try to lean towards the right side say for about 2 minutes... It'll start blinking again... then lean it towards the left side.. It'll stop blinking after 2 or three mins.... try this and let me know of your experiences... There were some of the ones which i observed in my bike...Comment
