Guys need some Help I am hearing a lot of click click sound from the engine when it is idling or when accelerating earlier i though it was some plastic but i can clearly hear it now. Though the engine has done like 170Kms so i am not thinking about it but still the sound is some time irritating and i can hear it with a lid on as well. Is this Normal?

That click click sound is pretty normal when the engine is new. I too have noted that sound after doing some riding, especially when it gets hot. Is the sound present when you start cold engine? When engine is new there will be some expansion and contraction before its gets seated properly. After first service sound will reduce considerably.

Also had a real scare I Rode through some Water and the Bike was sliding i don't know how but Survived a fall for sure. I didn't expect the Tyres to be so problematic even though they are new. This was when there was some stagnant water,what happens when there is rain?

Your tires require break in as well, the very first layer of rubber will not be very sticky. But one thing I can say for sure, even when the rear portion is sliding the front end will have enough traction to stabilize the bike. Thanks to that feature you avoided a fall. I can quote many situation where rear came loose fishtailing and I didnt even panic, thanks to it's amazing weight distribution.

reply to my post

Sorry brother, I wish I could answer this one. Only thing I know is that,normally there wont be any vibration @ 80 Kmph.

Is the engine sound changing or are you feeling sudden vibrations in handle bar and foot pegs?. When I noted a sudden change in sound after crossing 6K rpm, I asked this to S.C they said that when you accelerate there will be a point when the right amount of fuel is not supplied and hence the sound and vibration. Does this vibration happens only at 80 Kmph or it remains after crossing that mark.

One of our fellow member Mathew Syriac confronted a similar problem after having a crash. Try private messaging to him, I think most of us are not sure what to say .........

Iron parts are 90% reimbursed(they tell that they will 100% reimburse) and fiber parts are 50% reimbursed...

After confirming the feasibility with Suzuki guyz...call to the toll free number of iffco toki0...given on insurance papers given to you.....please remember your cover note number....and explain the accident date and time..they will assign you claim to a surveyor near to you and sms his details to you..call him tell all the story

Caution:Please call, call center once you confirm all the things only.if you called call center and than decided not to cliam insurance ...it will be problem in futhur......

Thanks,
Nag.

@arun my advice to you don't take the insurance for the sake of taking it if lets say the damage is for about 1500 Rs you better pay yourself since you will be earning the No Claim bonus Which is better since you will never get 1500. For plastics the depreciation is flat 50% and accessories are not covered.

If the damage is too much then claim insurance makes more sense than claiming for pity expenses since you will stand to loose.

thks for ur advice.. frds

Thanks Anup yeah in Cold Engine No issues when the Engine gets hotter the sound begins with already Delhi Touching 40+ Degrees it starts earlier i suppose currently driving around 4k RPM and wavering my speed as much as possible and trying to stay away from Constant speed and i felt the Gear shifts were very smooth in Cold Engine. But After every Km the Gear shift is becoming better and more smoother have done like 200kms till now will put in some more and try to get the first service ASAP.

The Ride comfort was excellent today drove on a stretch for 70kms No back pain and really the bike was fun to ride at 6th gear in the Expressway

Just as I expected, don't worry about that click click sound, new engines get heated as the internal resistance will be higher. This will make the oil lose its viscosity and also the metallic particle in oil will clog the filter. Get rid of the engine oil and filter as soon as possible. Here is a link to what Blitz have explained about "breaking in" of gears http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcycle-ownership-experiences/6831-suzuki-gs150r-502.html#post430745

What about the inconvenience of handle bar being tall? I think you got well acquainted with your ride.

I don't think it is lack of fuel supply, in that case ur engine will choke a bit...
May be some loose parts on ur bike is causing resonance.... ask SC guys to recheck if any nuts are loose...

Stagnant water has a layer of slime coated which gets worse with each passing day. All vehicles, even humans on foot are sure to slip or slide when passing through these. One should really be careful when driving across such conditions. I have seen motorcycles crashing and being washed away down to a pool (not very deep) on a mountain road on a causeway where there was a constant flow of slow running water. The bike and the riders were completely drenched and required being pulled out … the bike had to be taken to servicing.

Rain water should not cause such problems if it has not been stagnant enough to collect slime.

**adi231189** · 06-02-2010, 12:48 PM

@chief ashman i agree on what you said call me stupid but i went into stagnant water again at lesser speed,the water was in the roads from the people who water the plants on the roadside this time no slip. So i think i got my answer thanx ashman.

Hi

I bought my GS150R at Millers road (Value motors) till date [done 2nd service] i haven't faced any major issues

earlier i do faced similar issues with SVC team; then i started dropping my feed back before and after service on suzuki website, that works well for me
Suzuki respond to my complaints thru this dealer promptly

they fine tuned mileage and even they are ready to do a service in front of me

on this forum many members left good feedback for airport road Suzuki

hey Falcon hope you can refer someone on airport road Suzuki to help-out this guy

do one thing just write up your issues on suzuki website [ Suzuki Motorcycle Corporate Office ] and drop in to this service center on a free day

remember to write about the bad SVC experience

for me all your issues sounds like minor Niggles but from your point it will give a hectic hard feeling whenever you drive, so don't delay do try once and let all know

I dont know any local service centers apart from showrooms..

If you didnt like airport road service, you could try aerolex motors(kh road). i heard they also have a good reputation.

And most importantly, i dont think its safe to give to a local mechanic too.. since its a pretty rare bike god knows how many mechanics will have experience in dealing with it..
(you can try getting the carb tuned from local mechanic if you want to give it a try. looks like most of the problems can be related to carb tuning)

Anyway, i would still recommend airport road. give it one more try.. ask specifically for Satish(he's the head in charge of the SC) while giving for service. he's pretty friendly, tell him in the past you had bad experience at this service centre and you want to speak to the mechanic personally and explain the problems to mechanic. in the end, only the mechanics handle the bike so its best if they know too..

**felix.ragav** · 06-03-2010, 12:07 PM

Hello Guys,

Im back on the forum after a long break. I 've gotten back to riding my GS after like 4 Months of riding shotgun with friends and Driving the GS has never felt his good. I got my carb Tuned from a local mechanic and Pickup has changed dramtically and the best part is the mileage. Im getting close to 54 Kmpl

I'm really looking forward to the tri state meet now. Long time since I put the Vehicle above 5.5K RPM range. Anyother GS owners coming for the tristate meet?

cheers!
Ragav

**Anupdas** · 06-03-2010, 12:19 PM

@ Krazyguyind

It seems like your carburetor is not tuned properly. The mileage is very low and the piston seems to be stuck, you are running on a very lean mixture. Try the service centre mentioned by MSN1. By the way which oil are you using? Gear stucking problem may be because of poor oil.

**MSN1** · 06-03-2010, 12:29 PM

Passed 700 Kms with Castrol power 1 oil

for the past 200 kms noticeble change in idle (speed) RPM goes below 1000 because of that tak tak sound comes bike goes off (stopped) when ever i takes my hand off from throttle or when am not reving the throtle

Does oil change will impact idle speed settings ?

I don't know whether the oil changes the idling rpm

. You mentioned this on cold starts rite? Or does this happen every time?. Did you tried to raise the idle rpm by adjust the idling screw? This Castrol Power 1 is semi synthetic rite, the oil may be too thick when it is cold.
