hey Vishal, long time.

Does semi synthetic give the same smoothness feel of synthetics ??
and what engine mating could be there beyond 5k kms ? isnt everything set in by then ?

I got my bike back from servicing yesterday. they've put some stand by battery and sent my battery to exide for replacement.. finally !! (had problems with it right from the start)
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that i get a new one.

The running in period settles the machinery,but still there are some parts which need more time to settle in.

What happened to your battery??

The problem is, 10,000kms is just too long.. it may take 1 whole year for my bike to reach that mark

Give me your bike & I will make it cross 10K on the odo in next 4-5 months

Very few bikes accelerates to top speed .Even the Fireblade belts max power at 12,500 rpm and after that attains TS at 13,500 redline.(power drops but gets Top speeds).....hope you get what I want to mean

Only bikes that accelerates to Top end madly are the likes of Hayabusa,ZZR1400 n Vmax.

Guys Can anybody please check if Suzuki Website is working i mean the Contact us and feedback page for past 1week i am trying to contact them to get the address of the SVC near my area but getting a error when i click submit.

p.s Done 500 Kms so not far will be doing 250 in 2days time.Any particular engine oil that i should ask for in SVC

That's what I didn't understand

, just leave it by, nothing good comes

by talking about it over and over

Anything other than S.C oil will be good. Switched to Castrol Activ two days back, it has made engine very smooth and gear shifts, especially downshifts has become very smooth. Engine braking in first and second gears have reduced and sound of camshaft when we roll of throttle has reduced. This never happened while using SC oil so any oil other than theirs is highly recommended. Mineral oils of Motul, Gulf, Shell are highly recommended.

I think activ 4t is synthetic technology... but many saying only mineral oil for break in period then motul mineral oil will be good for sure

The bettery was weak from the start. i had written here within two weeks of getting the bike that battery died.
Since i didn't ride the bike for a week after the accident it got completely drained and i finally found a reason to tell them to change it this time.
They sent the battery to exide for replacement now, i'm running on some stand by battery.

riding from bangalore to mumbai and back would add another 2k to the odo too..

I am talking about Top speed here.........maximum top speed attainable for any bike at anytime is at redline.For the fifth gear......you will reach a maximum top speed.Then if one slots to sixth gear......which is meant for cruising,Rpms fall and then increases but not till redline for sure.RPM in cruising gear never fully redlines......hence mildly reduced TS

Though like bigger GSXRs,if the bike also fully redlines at 6th gear it will surely do around 122kmph.

Your info above is more relevant to drags........

You are quiet right. I've made several attempts to top speed on the GS and max I've gotten is 119km/h for a few seconds and then alas, the road meets an intersection or has a curve and you have to slow down. If the GS can redline on the 6th it will cross 135Km/h theoretically(gear ratios and RPM and wheel circumfrence etc), but it cant. It cant redline even on the 5th. In the 5th the GS goes till about 106 at 9000 RPM and upshift to 6th and the RPM drops below 8000. Then slowly it reaches 117 at 8500. Very difficult to go beyond that.

I think you didn't get my point

. This is just my logical reasoning

, in 5th (or 6th) gear the maximum power is attained at 8500. On revving past 8500 rpm the power will only reduce

so do we need to rev past that mark

, the best will be to keep the rpm at that point and see how far the bike accelerates

Anup, though the power drops, sometime there is enough power left to reach the redline. And more RPM means more speed. That is why Top speed comes after max power. There is no option to rev past the max power limit because by then you would be already at Wido Open Throttle. The only thing to do is keep it at WOT. Even for the GS its true. try revving the bike past 8500 at 5th gear and you will know.
PS: Thanks for uploading the pics to picasa. I wanted to see it.

Now all speed figures are as per the Speedo. Nevertheless I still think the GS Speedo has minimum to nil errors on stock tyres at appropriate tyre pressures.When calculated by the formula [engine speed(rpm) /(primary reduction ratio x gear ratio x secondary reduction ratio) = wheel speed(rpm), then the Wheel speed is multiplied by the circumfrence to calculate speed] the speed accurately matches the RPM.

Gyyzzzz!!!!!!
Be very Careful...
Our aim is not to cross red line at 6th gear...
There are lot more things in GS like comfort n stability.
Some of us (including me) have faced bad times.. Things are very unexpected now a days, most of people have no road mannerism at all..
After all we are all matured enough... We bought GS in our personal interest and not to compete with other bikes..
We r not gaining anything by saying my bike dominates all others.
Feel that your bike is made 4 u, it should solve ur worries...
So ride really SAFE

Activ 4T is a mineral oil, it only says synthetic technology.

Just as always bang on target. Now everything is cleared, thanks for the detailed write up. Earlier I mentioned, if a bike fails to accelerate before reaching red line that means when the aerodynamic drag is more than the engine power. So if our GS is not redlining means it dont have enough power to reach there.

You are right bro, will try my best not to mention about speed anymore.

Get the service done mate. You do not have to wait for 750kms on the odo. I would suggest you to stick to the SC oil till the running in period.

Ask them to change the oil filter,if they dont.

GSR's speedo does the best speed reading and most accurately..............errors are more for those bikes whose speedo reading is from front tyre revolutions.GSR's speedo is located uniquely for the most correct reading possible.Ok,errors for GSR may only be around 1-2kmph....but thats all.

Yeah Thats true mate

even i found it once traveling with my friend his pulsar as well as GS150R speedo reads 60 kmph

Hey guys, I have changed the oil to castrol active 4t. The printed price is 204. The dealer charged 200. I just agreed as I was on a hurry. I could not find gulf, motul, shell etc. Then went to a mechanic and asked him to change the oil and tighten the chain. After the oil change the gears has become hard. I mean upshifting has become harder. Down shifting is total pain in the ***. I have to blip the accelerator sometimes to upshift also. I am wondering why. Is it because I was using semi-synthetic earlier? Help needed guys. Raj

It may be due to too tight in the chain just check that and
also check if the oil grade is 20w -40 or 15w-40 if not its not suitable for GS150R

if everything is done and still having issue

It may be a duplicate oil

; go ahead and change oil again
i would recomend you to visit nearest shell bunk and buy one
