[QUOTE=parag.pj
btw do you guys feel that if we park the bike in side stand it runs more i mean tilting causes fuel to flow to engine?? will side stand parking affect my mileage calculation[/QUOTE]

Hi Parag..
i do not think; if we park the bike on side stand it runs more fuel...
you can of the fuel tab whenever you park the bike...
i do follow the same... but i prefer main stand parking and i always off the fuel knob... and Suzuki manual also says the same....

cheers,
Kiran

Just to clarify I meant when the fuel is on the verge of reserve, if the park the bike on side stand will tht cause fuel to flow towards engine causing reserve to delay, thus showing false extra mileage while caculation?

Any comments on this theory or experience?

and i rode upto 796km... i think then i can calculate the avg....

There is nothing wrong in that method

, just that one takes more time to calculate the fuel economy

and the other takes just some time. Personally i fill only fill 2 more litres above reserve and then once in every three days i will know the mileage and the engine hence can know if something is missing

power mode and eco mode

Side stand at the max you may get a benefit of half kilometer more mileage that to on petrol from reserve level so that can't be considered for more mileage. Most of the SC guys won't agree for oil change according to customer choice of brand so even its SVC oil they charge for it so use it for another few hundred kilometers then silently change it to your favorite brand (I said brand not grade) always stick to 20W-40 OR 15W-40. ... . . Today traveled a bit more almost 40 kms just tried using power mode. I am aware it just have to with the console blinker only. But today after changing to power mode I am able to find some difference in the way bike behaves usually on 3rd gear if I cross 4500 rpm the bike engine noise will go high but on power mode its still normal moreover the pickup seems to be changed I don't think this are my illusions because as a driver I feel the bikes sheer power today reached 90 kmph in fraction of minutes. this may be due to the first time exposure for my GS150R in a free highway Guys any inputs on this

**adi231189** · 06-04-2010, 07:51 PM

@MSN1 some people say it is has no effect but i disagree there is maybe a very small difference b/w the two modes for sure i have seen this personally before i actually owned the GS. I drove my Friends GS150 09 model and told him that this will have no effect so he told me to ride it with two different modes and from same point a uphill with him and felt the difference in the bike in Pulling uphill it was much better in power mode.

p.s The whole thing above was before i owned the GS haven't tried the power mode yet in my GS

Some heated discussion have already been done on this same topic earlier in this thread ( browse through the initial pages). Personally I have experienced a difference in power delivery past 4 K mark

.

The conclusion they came to know that ,since GS uses carburetor in which we can only have a TPS ( Throttle Position Sensor) control over the fuel entering, where the fuel entering is purely guided by laws of physics

( the more the air entering , the more fuel is added to it).

In Fi systems such a power mode and economy mode can easily implemented with different fuel mapping on each modes. This explains why high end performance vehicle Fi technology over carburetor

(they are more easy to adjust).

But animeher posted a picture where one can see some wires going out of carburetor, why would a carburetor need such wires. The only answer is that there is a small level of fuel mapping done in economy and power mode which we can feel in throttle response

.

yup wat u said is perfectly true.......in power mode u'll feel less vibs and when u start accelerating u feel like a nitro is attached to ur bike(when compared wid driving in eco mode)and wid a few tricks n tips u can evn touch 118kmph(i did)........but i have to say it,
IT FEELS AWESOME TO RIDE GS ABOVE 115KHPH N SEE ALL THE OTHER FELLOWS IN REAR VIEW MIRRORS BEING JEALOUS OF SEEING ME DRIVING WITH SUCH COMFORT AND STABILITY AT THAT HIGH SPEED......

**Anupdas** · 06-04-2010, 10:34 PM

Hey man, even GS owners cant agree to what you are saying

( like Nitro LOL

)? Gs is stable in higher speeds but its too risky to drive in that kind of speed

. If anything unexpected happens, then its all up to the one above. Above 110 or so if you don't crouch behind you cant accelerate, the high handle bar wont provide a comfortable position,brakes will be only for name sake.

Even with all riding gears, riding in such high speeds is way too risky. Occasional bursts are ok, but every time you post here you mention about the excess speeding. Please take this as my request and dont take too much risk while riding.

PS. Please refrain from using uppercase letters, as it shows sign of aggression, anger, disrespect etc etc. You can use Smileys to express your emotions.

Ride safe........

lolz......it feels good that ppl here take care of others....

....well bout the nitro thing i just gave an example to compare it with eco mode......as theres some difference.......its just an "example" duh.....

nbout the other things...i usually like speed n wat u said is absolutely correct....but its more comfy than those other high speed riders

I cant stand ne one gng ahead of me.....its mah nature....
but still i will consider ur humble request n drive cautiously.......i do post stuff other than excess speed too

**ravi@17bhp** · 06-05-2010, 12:52 AM

Can anybody measure the length of rear shocks of GS150 for me? I appreciate the help.

**Anupdas** · 06-05-2010, 01:02 AM

@ Ravi
Rear shock ups length is roughly 40 Cm(15").

Im really relieved to know that you took what I said in correct sense

. Everyone says young blood boils quickly

, when someone just come and smoke past you anyone will get excited and start racing

. But only those who are matured enough can think rationally and remain cool

.

Safety first then speed....Ride safe

PS. You have one PM check it.

@ mathew. Carb tuning is very important for bike performance; someone who doesn't have much knowledge played with you bike carb it seemsI would say their are so many bad customers who just leave the bike and take it back they don't ask how is the bike and what are all the problems and what was done they act as if they are damn busy. Thus the bike will get spoiled I used to post a feed back on suzuki website before and after serviceBefore giving to service ill post all the issues to suzuki website and told them this issues might sound simple from your end but as a customer they are at most primary issues And you know when I visit the service center the supervisor or service head will say sir you are madhu rite we got your complaint details from suzuki we will take care of it. While taking back the bike I always insist on speaking to the. Engineer and service person who serviced my bike this method works fine for me @ adi its padmini or parleG they manufactured it under license from mikuni or else they aren't allowed to manufacture a product which exactly looks and functions like mikuni carb its a cost cutting measure from suzuki; This morning visited dealer place as my friend want to do a test drive of GS150R and dazzler So tried and tested GS150R 2010 model it was good and much better than 2009 modelParked it next to my bike checked the carb both looks same the only difference is the name on it. Even asked the service guy is this carb makes the engine sound less and much smoother and gives better performs. He replied 2010 model is the new BS complaint thus they fine tuned the engine and tweaked up core components, carb settings on new GS150R remains same as the old one.

Actually, I give my bike for service only when my mind n schedule is totally free... Most of the time I have sat with them for hours, turning carb, test-riding with mileage cans etc....
And i specially request only the service head to tune my bike... Had done it lot many times

And i do ask detailed report of what they have done...
At the same time myself being a technician know how uneasy it feels when a customer is close by when he is doing his work

So, I restrict myself when they feel uneasy....

The Carb was changed during the service camp.... That day all were busy n I didn't want to poke my nose too much...

When i collected my bike they didn't tell about the carb change (Maybe it was a prestige issue for them)....

To me the SC prople (Mr, Vinod, Kalyan & Satish) are trying to serve us good, but unfortunately, things are not always positive... Hope they come up with a proper answer for me

**BLITZ** · 06-05-2010, 09:44 AM

I'm going to the SC today. The monsoon protection camp is on. Big Suzuki guys are coming from Delhi. I'll surely talk to them about the Engine oil, and the SC attitude for outside oil. Any other queries to ask?? I'll go by 12noon today. So let me know soon.

In eco mode, the ignition timing is set for maximum fuel economy, this is the reason why we r getting impressive mileage than any other 150cc bike, but at the same time our bike is laziest in 0-60kmph race in same segment.

In power mode ignition timing is set for maximum power, which makes our bike roar like tiger in expense of less fuel economy.

If you had refered to Honda Unicorn website you could have seen its CDI multi mapping (A 3D graph between Engine speed, ignition timing and throttle position) now they removed

. Our GS has two sets of this data, one for eco mode and one for power mode.

So by changing the modes we are actually changing the CDI settings

In third mode(dont care mode) Ignition timing is independent of throttle position just like ordinary 100 and 125cc bikes(neither max milage nor max power).
