@ adi sir
ur frm which part in delhi?

i'm frm greater noida ,,
bought ma grey gs on oct 2009 clocked 5010 kms,she's doin fine ,,and get ma bike serviced frm gaziabad suzuki ..
.
i queried about the head light at the gzb suzuki they changed some electrical part on the under seat left side ...i asked what's the name of the part they told "condensor " i argued its the rr unit near the battery to be changed ...they told they recieved that part for replacement on consultation frm suzuki
alas,, the headlight has not shown ny improvements...
pls kindly telll ny good service sataion in delhi or from where u get ur bike serviced ...
moreover i'm planning a new delhi to leh trip on ma bike ...will post itenary,, if it actually comes into reality...

I think this was driver error itself.. i shouldn't have gone that fast with a pillion rider. i've done that stretch plenty of times solo, it was perfect. just an off time i guess.

May be the govt officials too. i mean, they should clean the sand,(especially at a curve like that) the sides of the road feel like a beach !! my sandals were filled with sand.

Thank god

@ Falcon
Thank god, you are safe. What about your pillion? Braking in mid corner always results in such scenarios.

Ride safe.........

@ Adi

I think people in North India are opting for higher cc class bike as price is lower there. Anyway this thread was started by Sam who is a North Indian. In my place 2010 GS costs 68,500 OTR. Almost at same price you people can buy a RTR 180 rite?

@ falcon ...
get well soon ..
how many kms ...on odo && which engine oil do u use in ur bike ...

yupp boss
delhi has got its plus point in terms of pricing...rtr 180 ...is possible in approx rs 73000

Thankz for ur valuable info....i dont like the other method,may try it after 2 yrs of completion of mah bike...the other plans....out of them i already replaced the number plate lamp and evn put some led strips n connected them to battery....n changed pilot lamps to philips bluevision....so they r taking the same 10 w load......(check on page 476)
still m confused,will the night breaker work properly with 45w?

Tail LED is on DC.....and the source for LED's is Remove the connection for numberplate bulb underneath seat lock......and put a resistance in series and connect the led's wherever u want in parallel(but 'll have to take wires from back to the front of the bike)...make sure u dont use capacitor there...as it will create a filter....and u wont get o/p properly......i mean led's will flicker for some time till the capacitor gets charged!(check on page 476/478)

same thng as Blitz sayz
\/

i tried dat....n then the console display was not coming on....i was a bit scared as it was around 11:30 in night and all shops were closed......then mah sr bro asked me to kick start it and bike started but still the console was not coming.....then we took mah bike home n changed the fuse....now evrythng was proper.....

lolz..m dying to take the new gs for a ride.......ur soooo lucky chap.....btw wats screws loosened engine sound for the initial kms???

Here its 80,000 OTR. I think it due to the taxes and transportation charges. A full 7K difference

yup RTR Around 70k And GS 62700 With Accessories this is no bargain quote Currently if you bargain with Dealer Will be much lesser.RTR 160 is around 68K but don't want to get it i never felt comfortable in Apache don't know why though i like the bike overall but not while riding.The Roar is what gets me in Apache just love it.


@performator Try the Okhla SVC

well the front discs are not just Fine...they r the bloody best....considering the weight of gs(for other bikes the bike seems to fall on a side as u brake but dats not the case wid gs,it can be controlled at lower speedsi.e.<5kmph).....hence we have them in left instead of right as other indian bikes have!!!!!(there's some aerodynamics involved)and for rear brakes evn they r good,if u brake hard at lower speeds the wheel gets locked...and as he said at higher speeds they help reducing speed......and if u put disc in rear then the bike might skid more for new riders as they usually do hard braking......
we'll have a debate on this sumtym later......

Gud to hear dat!!!

well good u told us.......but the pilot lamps must be there for gs else it would lose its wolfs eyed look.......

HID's are high intensity discharge lamps which produces light with an electric arc and not the filament like we have in stock.....they give sheer white light n hence increase the vision in night....it comes with a kit including ballast n some stuff......u get the made in china brands for around 3000 bucks..........check on the light thread in universal threads section u'll get to know each n everything about hid's.......
personally i wont recommend HID's as they glow so much that causes inconvinience for oncoming traffic...n if that happens we are in danger.....other things if the light is 4300k then its proper white light else it gives blueish tint which attract indian cops very much.....
if u want to use hid's then there's only one way u have to fit them in projector......projector can be of hi beam or low beam or both......if ur ready to spend hefty sum then u'll get the both beam projector else u'll have to put two projectors one for hibeam and one for low.....
Now putting the projector in the headlamp assy if difficult.....so u'll have to go to a proper mechanic to do it....n lastly duin this will result in loss of warranty..........

i hope u are fine..n its nothing serious!!!

lolz....nice to hear evn sumone else than me will be putting his beast for this task...btw m planning to do it Mumbai-Indore-Agra-Delhi-Manali-Leh-Manali-Delhi-Agra-Indore-Mumbai
m planning a 22 day trip after 23rd june!!!(Mah xmaz r getting over by 22nd)

Dats why i m JEALOUS of Delhi PPL.....

lol maestro what to do everything has its pros and cons Delhi Rulez when it comes to Price Petrol aur bike Prices. The Overall price is dependent on state the states levy heavy taxes which leads to high prices if they are reduced then all states can have uniform prices. But I like it this way

Good to know that you escaped with minor scratches.....But we need to take it positive, as these small things will bound to happen...... take a moral out of it that in further we opt to be careful in turns and similar areas..(as such incidents will mature our driving...)

I too met with small accident with bad skin peel off right hand elbow..
From that day onwards...i will keep my "eyes" wide open at least at turns and junctions......

"GET WELL SOON DEAR"

Thanks,
Nag.

When i was in pune,pradhikaran....which comes under pimpri chinchwad...if i am not wrong...there the "octrai" was there,it is special tax.....my friend who wants to buy bike passion....and enqired about the price and good dealer..to his surprice he noticed that there is price difference b/w pune and pimpri chicnchwad of at least rs 2000 to 3000.....so he bought it in pune....but has to pay the octroi... at last as he was residing in pradhikaran...

@maestro...Its like this....when i start the bike....the engine generates sound which is like loosened screws rotating in the started engine....normally when you start the gs the sound will be crisp and rythamatic......without any thing(screws)flying or rotating in the engine....Hope you understood not confused......

Yesterday the suzuki servicemn head told me that suzuki is planning to launch a new 125cc bike in june or july.....

Hope you don't mind this question, but why are you riding from Mumbai to Delhi in rains, when a train can get you and your bike to Jammu much more comfortably? You may be very tired by the time you reach Leh! Just think about it. You can use the days to explore Ladakh rather than riding though the plains, which gets boring real fast.

Have you fitted HID in GS? Can you share the experience, cost involved etc?

i'll think upon it!!!!

btw where do u stay in Thane?

i got that!!!!!
wana see the new 125cc!!!have u asked bout the name of that bike?
