    Rajesh, I bought my bike in ABT nandanam, When I was booking the bike in last week they were not received the new graphics sticker. So i end up booking the old one...

    But today i saw the all new GS150R in the showroom.... There was no much change in the design only difference is the colour of the sticker they use in the latest bike and the silencer design.. I noticed the rectifier/regulator in the latest bike has xxxxCA series... (dont know whether they have improved any thing )

    I drove the bike from showroom to my home.... It was a wonderful exprience, engine was really soo smooth and the control is excellent...When i was in kathipara bridge, i felt like flying in the sky

    Thats great. then you must have to spoke Raju/Sathis there right ?

    New Silencer design ? how is it ? and Now i heard Candy max orange and Greenish blue not coming alone they coming with black mix.

    They changed the rectifier to CA ? Im having BA lets C whether they gonna change it to all GS owner.

    I will go for servicing my bike.i will check for all changes and update.

    • Guys.. anyone having answer to this Thread started by me long back ?





      also anyone feeling the Heat in rear alloys and Tyres ? just ride for some kms and touch the rear tyre it will be hot

      Is this due to braking and the friction heat spreading to alloys and then to tyres ?

      Anyone experienced this ?

I think you can go to MRF shop in pune to getyour tyre changed. There are not much tubeless options in terms of pattern/thread. Even MRF introduced 18" tubeless two months back.
        Thanks for the confirmation. Actually I don't own a GS, was planning of using GS alloy wheels on one of my bikes. That's why, is looking for some GS150 owner who can let me try out the front wheel fitting on my bike before I buy them.
        Regarding the tyre, I would be fitting Sirac 100/90x18TL on it.

          Good that you getting sirac 100/90 Michelin started phasing out this dimesnion.

            I did not check out the vertigo rage and therefore cant comment. After change of tyre I got an average of 71. Yeah I know I dont believe it myself keeping in mind my driving style. So will check the mileage in a few days and let you guys know. The only thing is that I did not chk the mileage prior to tyre change. Therefore dont know if there is any difference. Also has anyone changed the bike's electronics to all DC or in any way tweaked the system to get a better light?? Raj.

            • The day i got my bike registered

              April 18 2010 22:30

              After a short vacation i am returning from Madurai in a Sleeper bus, it will reach my home at chengalpet in the morning around 3-4 am. I have to be awake at that time, else i will miss my stop.

              April 19 2010 00:00

              I am getting birthday calls, my sleep is disturbed, i try to sleep again and i sleep off.

              April 19 2010 02:45

              Bus stops at a motel, my sleep is gone totally, what a way to start a birthday huh?

              April 19 2010 04:45

              Bus stops near my home, i drag the luggage to my house, try to sleep, but i could not, hence i pray and get ready.

              April 19 2010 06:30

              I take bath and start to my best friend's house in velachery. The bike showroom is in velachery. It is from there i have to collect the papers and go to the RTO office. I try to start my bike. It does not start, i have not touched the bike for the last 5 days. i try the kicker, it still does not start, i forgot about the choke, i moved it down the slope and put it in gear and it started. The climate is pleasant and it is going to be a pleasant ride since i have started early and the traffic will be less. I ride along the GST road till tambaram and take a diversion to velachery


              April 19 2010 07:45

              I reach velachery. I check the odometer, i have clocked 60 kilometres, no i do not feel tired. I will write a complete review of the bike after i clock 1000 kms, that will do justice to the bike, the bike is very comfortable. i have a slight pain in my hand due to the hand grips i installed, i will get it removed today.

              April 19 2010 09:45

              I chat with my friend and after a lovely degree coffee and breakfast i reach the showroom, clarify a few things with the mechanic, indicator buzzer was not working, corrected it. Collected the owners manual, first aid kit and the tools kit. While collecting the papers, i check and inform them that the bike color was mentioned as candy orange, but mine is pearl nebular black. So they start correcting it and they also had to change it online. So i get delayed by half-an hour. Meanwhile i meet a Fellow GS150R owner, he is a college-goer and has ripped the bike from day one, he told that he gets a mileage of around 40. I am being safe and keeping it below 5000 RPM till 800 kms and below 7500 RPM till 1600 as suggested in the manual. he tried to paint the alloy with silver color in the sides, but it ended up bad, and it did not look good, so he was planning for new alloys, the quote he got was 11k for 2 alloys.

              April 19 2010 11:45

              Finally everything is corrected and i leave for the RTO office along with the agent. We locate the office in Mandaiveli, i spend around one hour there, they took the chassis number and finally i could leave. I don't have the money to get a paid number, so i let nature take its course, i ask with the agent about the current number and he informs me its 0450 to 1000. I shrug and leave, i was informed that i will be informed about the number by evening.

              April 19 2010 13:45


              My friend calls up and he wants to go for a movie, but i am tired and hungry. I have a sweet lime juice at my favorite juice shop at adyar near hotel Coronet and have some breads and Cold Coffee from Hot Breads opposite to temple steps. I am tired because of lack of sleep and inform my friend we could do the movie some other day, mostly Wednesday, he agrees.


              April 19 2010 15:15

              I start to home and the drive is a breeze through the wind. Not much traffic, i feel that the drive will be good until....

              April 19 2010 16:15

              ....i feel sleepy. I am near Guduvanchery. I have never felt sleepy in a bike no matter what. Atleast the bike sound would keep me awake. This bike does not make much sound, all i can hear is just the wind. I stop at a petty shop, he only had 7up and limca. Normally i would prefer 7up, but i opted for a limca along with a cold water pocket to wash my face. I walk a bit. Feeling all refreshed i start back home at 5. I love the dashboard of this bike, i cant keep myself from looking at it.

              Pictures of dash while driving.





              April 19 2010 17:35

              I reach home, i am sleepy but not tired because of the journey, it was very comfortable. The Odo reads 292 kms. I have clocked 142 kilometers today, if i had done this journey in my pulsar my back would be screaming with pain, but now, nothing. i go to the sticker shop near my home,i call the agent to know the number. He tells he will call back within 5 minutes.



              Even after almost 300 kms the fuel tank shows that its full, i am loving it

              April 19 2010 18:30

              I got the number. It's TN-06-B-0677. Not bad eh?. i select the font and order along with some Suzuki logos . It costs me 80Rs. Finish it and realize that its too dark to take pictures. Will do it later. i reach home and a very old and a good friend of mine messages me after almost 2 years. i am happy. It has been a good day for me. I finish the day off with a good vegetarian dinner in a nearby restaurant and go to sleep exactly at 12.

                April 11 2010 13:26

                [ME] Sufi, shall i buy a bike please ?

                Sufi, is thinking and replies , ok buy it if its worth it but you also have to get me a bike.

                I say deal ok, agreed.



                I could take only one picture of the bike at showroom, as it was dark and i only had a mobile camera.

                [SUFI] ok, the tank is very comfortable for me to lie and sleep, and the petrol lid is something i love to play with!



                A nice picture with daddy and the bike



                [SUFI] I do not have a holder, if no one catches me, i might fall down.

                [SUFI] Ok the bike is good, but where is the bike you agreed to me for?



                Its a BSA and he got it as soon as he got up from sleep, so he is looking a bit dull.




                [SUFI] Look dad i am Spider man, i can jump and fly as well as your bike does .

                He flew and fell on the bag when i clicked this one. i felt this was a good one.

                I am very sorry for the bad quality pictures. Clicked using NOKIA 5130 camera.

                        I'll be fitting sirac at rear. I'm confident that the rear alloy of GS150 will fit on my bike but I'm not sure about the front alloy, that's why want to confirm that before buying.

                        Btw, 100/90x18 Sirac is a front fitment tyre but it seems it can safely be used at rear as well.

                            Dude the stock tires sucks ass , unicrorn has the same tires , yah it has less grip due to its narrow breadth , try for dunlop, they are softer compound good grip and plus an inch broader than the stock tires.
