People from Bangalore will sure guide you. Please change the oil to xW-40. 10w-30 is too thin for the GS and will not offer optimum protection. -
Re: Suzuki GS150R
My gs has done 20k and I use motul 5100 10w30. I use it sparingly in city and for an occasional ride out to the airport or such distances.
Can you recommend a generic 2 wheeler service center in bangalore. I've lost all trust in service center of dealers, my experience is nothing to write home about.Leave a comment:

Re: Suzuki GS150R
I don't know the intricacies of that mechanism but its definitely nothing with the clutch lever as that would mean a blank for all the other gears. Probably the sensor isn't activated for 5th but what is confusing is 6th is again properly displayed for you.Originally posted by newfan View PostLeave a comment:

I too face the false neutral issue very rarely but mostly when I shift lazily between 1 to 2. But for me the 5th gear is permanently off the electronic display.
I wonder if it could be any of the below reasons:
1) Gear Sensor (I dont know how the gear indicator works, probably someone can chime in)
2) issue with Gear teeth (probably rare as I dont loose drive in 5th gear)
3) Clutch lever
Please let me know your thoughtsLeave a comment:

Re: Suzuki GS150R
Welcome back. I keep facing this issue but very very rare - happens when I shift too lazily and the gear didn't actually engage (false neutral). Another gentle shove of the gear lever will engage the gear - for me, it happens only for 2 to 3 and 4 to 5. For you, goes the gear actually engage when there's a blank?Originally posted by newfan View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Suzuki GS150R
Coming to this thread after along time, I and my bike spent 5th anniversary last month, traveled together just for 29K Kms but still a strong bond. She protected me from a big accident an year back taking much of an impact with a broken mudguard, bend handle, crash guard, clutch lever. She was treated well and back to her best.
Due to frequent travel I have not been able to use her much. But change oil every 6 months or 2000 KMs(Shell AX7) but I have been dogged by an issue recently where the gear indicator display doesnot show 5th gear, I also feel something wrong when I shift to 5th gear(basically the ply to move from 4th to 5th). Just curious to know if anyone faced this issue before.Leave a comment:

Re: Suzuki GS150R
For people who want to clean the oil strainer but can't get a SGP o-ring for the cover (in case the o-ring is chutney and damaged), TVS Apache oil strainer cover o-ring is a direct fit. But it is priced a bit high (INR 55). I think Suzuki's might be cheaper.
Ramkay (Adyar) didn't have the oil filter small and big o-rings. Next have to try whether they match.
Fails: Apache's oil drain bolt with magnet or the sealing washers won't fit our GS. Bolt is 17 mm but the thread is smaller :-(.Leave a comment:

Re: Suzuki GS150R
I don't find any rubber parts or O rings in the area. But after the clean, it is easier to operate.Originally posted by ashwanth.r View Post
Yes, the washer to stop the knob from turning the other way around.
And I did the tappet adjustment as i posted earlier that I received noise after initial tappet adjustment.Leave a comment:

That happened to me last Saturday. I was stuck in stop-go traffic and it switched off. Had to get off the bike, still the small space couldn't accommodate many fingers
but being right-handed had a little more power in that hand. Usually, I change it easily while riding itself.
It felt hard for more than a year now. I removed the tank last weekend to check the tappet adjustment. While fitting everything back, i tried to check why is it very hard to change the knob.
Again adjusted tappets?
Remove the side cover (for ease of work). Remove the fuel knob (Single screw in the middle). You will notice 2 small screws again which needs to be unscrewed to remove a washer. After removing the washer, use some kerosene and a toothbrush for cleaning the area.
Spray some kerosene or some cleaner as there are tiny areas which cannot be reached by any tool for cleaning.
Thank you! if it is this easy, I can fix it myself. I was worried whether balls and springs will fly out on opening it
. In 1st Gen Honda Unicorn, its a sealed unit (that is how the Unicorn Workshop Manual shows). Kerosene is easy on rubber parts like o-rings? I have carb cleaner which usually attacks rubber and paint.
The washer actually is to prevent the knob being rotated in the clockwise direction from ON position and anti-clockwise direction from Reserve position.
Other way round?

Re: Suzuki GS150R
Exactly what you heard. Stuck dirt. I think it can be removed, or maybe spray some water there.Leave a comment:

Re: Suzuki GS150R
Any idea why the gas stove-type fuel knob is too tight to turn? Mines that way now - I could literally hear sand particles getting crushed inside. Can it be removed and cleaned or is it a sealed unit? I know the fuel filter sticks can be cleaned.Leave a comment:

I urge you to take up riding a bicycle or even walking for that distance(1.5 km).Originally posted by anonyblr View PostLeave a comment:
