take care bro. 75 is too much for nitrogen and dont think that u can avoid filling up. even nitrogen needs regular filling like normal air. but yeah it can go one or two weeks more.

no... semi synthetic is good... but i will not recommend 15w50. its thick. 15w40 is ok. but not 50. if you need get thro some frnds in chennai.

thanks bro. i understood. today only i changed to eco mode and was driving at 55 or something. this happened. ya... i need to extra cautious. something was running thro my mind. need more concentration on road.

take care... you wont believe.. i inspected the attachement fitted to handle bar ( is it balancer something to prevent vibration ?) the impact point is not even 1 cm... it is almost appeared as dot... but it made my handle bar twist. if i dint pull off... im history

have to extra cautious here after. this road is worst full of traffic and lots of bus.

It should be in the following way:-

10W - 40 or 15W - 40 or 20W - 40 is fine; don't opt for oil where the second value is diffrent - I mean it should be 40 not 30 or 50.

Motul is not the only option it is the best but you can try Gulf, Elf
, shell or Agip they are also good

Or any mineral based oil

its not mandatory to switch to synthetic after reaching 10000Kms

Please refer previous 25 pages
And refer the engine oils thread for further details

Hey Buddy, nothing to worry about the bike as such...
I was one of the initial batch of customers, that time there were lot of issues. Now it is all rectified and redefined in the new lot
Actually Mr. Kalyan became a good friend of mine he to admitted frankly, that the new lot is very much error free compared to mine
I suggest u to stick on to Mr. Kalyan. at present he is in SMK...
I was introduced to him by Mr. Vinod at Swapna Suzuki Anna Nagar, hen he moved on th ABT, now SMK...

Sorry for the late reply...
Anyways, Congrats!!!!!!

thank god for not anything happen to you..........

Help needed

People please help me with few things...............
1.Exactly where is the speedo and odo wiring located on this bike....which portion to open ,in order to reconnect or disconnect it ???
2.Next, can the Odo meter be reset...........and with which switch????
3.what is the function of TripA 0.0km and TripB 0.0km ????

Thank God everybody are Safe. It seems a bit strange that GS is so prone to Accidents. But i'm sure it's just a Coincidence or a Passing Phase. Fortunately, i have not had any Bad Experiences like these in my 1 Year of Ownership. Touchwood !!!

Can you Guys tell me if there is any way to remove Fuel from the Petrol Tank ?

I did a Full Tank some Days ago and as the GS Tank is so Huge, Petrol just doesnt seem to lessen down. I've done about 200 Kms and it's still showing all 5 Bars.
The Reason i want to Remove Fuel is because my Servcing Date is due in about 2 Weeks.
And, i dont ride my GS a lot these Days because of the Heavy Rains. I take my Car to Office.

In my Old Ambition Bike, the Pipe that would connect to the Fuel Knob would be Visible. So, i would easily be able to remove the Pipe and take out Petrol. Can't seem to do that in GS?

Any Ideas?

God bless you........that you havent faced any,I wish that you wont face any ever.
GSR is one of the safest bikes to ride around.........we need to ride it more cautiously.Nowadays trust me,no one on the roads can be trusted.People, they move on roads like as if they own the road and its our responsibility to keep them safe........Absurd !!!!

Every kind of road users like Bikers,Office goers,pedestrians,cars,buses,trucks,autos,taxis,an imals........cycles,list doesnt seem to end !!!!They go more jerish on seeing something like GSR or FZ on road....so its better to brake at any moment some one senses something wrong.No need pushing our luck.Lord provides for the rest........its in his hands. 'sighs'

Odo meter can't be reset, it either goes on or can be stopped by removing some wire in the engine.

Trip meter A & B can be used for calculating mileage/distance covered in a particular trip. You can select Odo, trip A & trip B by presing SEL once, and you can reset trip A & trip B by presing and holding ADJ.

Trip Meter A & B

.................................................. ............................

Trip Meter B can be set to see the total mileage eg after filling up fuel till next refill etc.

Trip Meter A can be set to see the distance travelled on a particular trip from point X - to point Z for instance.

Chennai Traffic

@ all chennai guys here...

Hello... There are somethings i noted about chennai traffic which was useful to me and thought might be helpful to you people also...
1. Make yourself safe on road. Safety priority for you should be higher than that of the bike.
2. Have 200% concentration when an MTC bus is around you (50meters radius).... I stress on radius since you do not know where they come from and where they go.. ..
3. Beware of autos (includes Share Autos, Maxi Cab vans that do illegal passenger ferrying, Tata Ace kind of vans..)
4. Have some knowledge about the bus stops on the roads that you frequent.. that'll help you when you over take a bus, auto... Mostly when you over take from the left(which is not right and predominantly every tom, dick and harry does it here i chennai )
5. DO NOT FORGET THAT YOU HAVE LOVED ONES AT HOME ALL THE TIME YOU ARE ON ROAD (Mostly parents)...
6. Believe in prayers.. Really God helps in safe journey...

I wanted to say this since most people who report accidents are from chennai.... This may or may not be applicable to other cities... You can always correct me on the above if I'm wrong somewhere...

Okk Adding to whatever some people have said never ever drive behind a bus since it blocks the view in front since i faced the similar situation which led to my small accident learned my lesson.Anticipation is the best way nowdays to keep yourself safe. Drive Safe Guys.

And guys i asked about the knocking issue when the engine is hot i told in 1st service but looks like nothing has been done about it. Any ideas?

I really had a scary issue with my new ride today !!!
It happened all in the middle of traffic,that I heard a terrible noise,as if side stand is scrapping the road,and then suddenly a huge raucous from the chain region as if the chain is cut and dangling and hanging.I really got scared and immediately reduced the speed at which it was moving and came to the side of the road.I found side stand and main stand in place.Stood the bike on main stand,inspected the chain,chain was all ok !!!!! Then where is the loud sound coming from???
My head seemed not to be working,I got it of stand and rode at 20-30kmph to the service center...........what can possibly be wrong with the new bike that it had too make such a huge noise constantly to make even dogs go barking at me

On reaching the SVC even the Suzuki guys were looking at me in awe.....they heard me from a kilometre away!!!!!They quickly took the bike to their work station and disassembled the total chain housing.On inspection it was found that,the front part of the lower chain cover had bent and turned into the moving chain.......the friction between them caused such huge noise !!!!!! They immediately hammered the chain cover,centred it properly again and did the refit.The bike is practically noiseless after that,except the cool sound of the engine.

I was so shocked at the plight of this new bike that,I kept asking what could be the possible reason for such,or if it has damaged the chain???
The SVC guys told me,while fitting the new bike,someone among them must have put it together in hurry without properly centering,which caused the cover to bent inside.They then assured me,it wont happen ever again.They told me,its ok with the chain.

This incident today left me really shocked !!!!!!

Ok guys since I got the answer of TripA and TripB.......now please tell me:exactly where lies the speedo wiring of bike ???? (cant ask this to SVC guys since they think I would messing with my ride )

Sorry to hear abt that bro...

@ tripA & B, Its found in the front sprocket cover...Not sure if its speedo or odo... Jut check the prev pages.. I think Blitz updated on that with images

@ GSR owners......tonight I finally managed to open and get my hands on the speedo wiring console on the sprocket.Opening is easy but connecting and disconnecting the device,is what I failed to comprehend.Presently my ODO and speedo both are disconnected, till registration and numbering but I am finding ways to make the speedo work atleast !!!

Heres some pics:


The unit covering the front sprocket opened up, the sensor taken off.


The way the sensor looks on the side of the sprocket.......dindnt make anything out of it It looked like as if some type of cap is preventing the sensor from getting in touch with the sprocket.This cap is tightened by a strange looking screw.......didn't have the tool to unscrew this screw,it will require T wrench with screw like head.


The way the sensor is placed on the sprocket.

Opening the sprocket cover required the unscrewing of two screws,one on the sprocket covering itself,another below the unit near the gear shift lever as shown by Blitz.But its really difficult to unscrew and fix these parts without a T wrench.Normal wrenches require a lot of hard work and carefulness.
Hoping to buy a set of T wrenches soon.
Meanwhile please suggest,how to make this sensor connect to the Front sprocket......If anyone has first hand experience of it.
