Guys can anyone reply to the above post..

I filled 500 bucks of fuel before price hike, didnt know the reserve reading either, so there's no way i can check my mileage for a long time without this method.

So i need to know the amount of fuel in carb to calculate mileage after tuning my carb..

this is something i roughly do i don't know how much but i think it is guess a single bar of fuel in console is equal to approx 3.5ltrs-4ltrs i think.

p.s Waiting for people to answer about the dent i mentioned on the swing arm(inside) Pics i have attached in previous page

Well this was my own idea. I took the kerosene in a small deep bowl. Fill only upto half the depth of the bowl. hold the bowl a bit higher than the flames. the flames should not touch the bowl only the heat should. As it heats up, it will start bubbling and giving out vaupours, ie boiling. Move the bowl awaw from the flame instantly. The vapours catch flame easily. Add the grease and stir. If it doesnot dissolve fully, heat some more and stir. then its done.
I'd come up with this idea when my cycle flywheel used to make a lot of noise. the oiling would dry up soon and it was not viscous enough to cut the sound. and you cant get grease inside it otherwise. This technique worked well. The flywheel was totally quiet and it lasts like that for ages. Cheap and efficient. then I started using it on my cycle chain as well. Just after oiling wipe off the excess mixture from the surface if any. The mixture will get into the gaps and solidify there and wont come out. Very little black stain on the chain, but super smooth. I thought why not try it on the bike.

@anup Sorry bro really i had my share of issues was like very busy finally today had sometime so clicked a few pics from my father's mobile since my digi is gone to the drain with the Touch panel not working.

Any way a relief that the dent is there in most cases first time i am actually happy every bike and mine has a dent lol

see my mud drenched swing arm here
As you can see in the below pic.....its dentless,outerside of swingarm shows no depression even against the back drop of daylight.

Next.........the inner dent is actually that structure which bends the swingarm like the fork to hold the wheels.So its no issue,its present on all bikes.Otherwise the swing arm wont be there in the first place

There will be a small bend look from above the seat you will notice the bend it is not the issues see the Same swing arm from inside (the pic u posted is outside view) even the pic you posted it is clearly visible there is a clear deviation from a straight swing arm i can surely tell that. And that is not the issue the bend from outside is almost in most bikes that are coming now pulsar,CBZ xtreme. Look if there is a dent from inside.

today i again went to the Sc. one guy came and inspect it. he has no clue.. at that time another SC guy came there with a brand new bike ( not registered ) the guy with me went and checked that new bike.. and felt the same heat as in my bike.. & told its common.. nothing wrong with my bike.. so yall check it and let me know plz..

@ Madhu Bhai

Its ok bro, it seems I have to find it myself. So third service went smooth.

@ Arun

After how much riding does it heat up?

@ Adi

I was just kidding man. And figured the reason of that bend. The reason is quite simple.



Consider the above image, the thin line represent the original shape of the swing arm, it was bend to make both the arms parallel to each other(to suit the wheel nut). The inner side is compressed and hence that peculiar shape.

third service done here's my feedback

Third service is done,CA model rectified is not available now but promised that they will get it in another 20 days. The good thing they agreed to the point that head light brightness and battery charging issues caused by RR unit (rectifier) on bikes that came with BA rectifier and replacing with CA will fix it. Still they didn't painted the front assay worn out area its just 2 or 3 mm area I don't know why they forgot but it won't cost high for me to buy 50ml black paint (that's one advantage of having a black color bike ) During service they missed the tool kid holding rubber strap found it after reaching home (while trying to put the toolkit back) now managing with rubber bandsThey spill some oil on tank cover and that's sticking my hands While taking delivery too they advised me agip or motul oils are bad always go for castrol that's what suzuki recommends Yeah I have positive things tooYou know how much they charger ? Any guess As told earlier I bought the AGIP engine oil so the service charge is just 50/- rupees only. Now she is sleek, smooth and so silent no vibration or noise even at 3'k to 4'k rpmPickup is awesome Changing gears are smoothNo false neutral occurring at all. ------------------------------------- @ anup Sorry man my svc guys are unaware of Dyno chart I tried explaining them for almost 15mins all effort gone waste one guy even said that option is not there in suzuki bikes may be its something related to bajaj like exhaustek and even they are unaware about the actual difference between power and eco mode

Guys i noticed a wierd problem .....after mah 4th service the bike starts without the clutch engaged........

wat could be the problem?

Dont worry. its nothing to do with the clutch. You will notice a pair of wires going into the clutch lever on the handlebar. Just check those wires. Some loose connection or may be the switch inside is stuck. The clutch by itself doesntot play a role in starting the bike. all you need to do is pull the clutch lever. Even if your clutch cables are broken, the starter motor will work..

So they agreed to change the oil even though it was AGIP? To be true They should technically if it is 20w40 since in the manual also it say it is the recommended grade not recommended brand. So i think they can't deny any warranty issues since it is not explicitly stated that you can use only Castrol. I am going to shift to a Mineral based oil any suggestion 20w40 Cheap and good since i don't like to keep engine oils for too long 3k kms is fine.

So if you guys can tell me the Price of 20w40 grade it will be gr8.

I think MSN1 got the agip oil for 195 bucks(semi synthetic)..

And in any case, for me they had agreed to put petronas 5w40 too without any issues.. i told them it synthetic, its not 20w40 etc etc.. they said ya ya its fine..
Unfortunate that i didnt get petronas though.

@Madhu: which SC do u go to bro ??

I tried Clutchless shifting today.. it was unbelievable..
(i didnt try 1st to 2nd because neutral was in between)
2nd to 3rd there was a slight jerk but no noise from gears..

3rd to 6th was unbelievably smooth
I just accelerated to 4k-5k range in each gear, reduced the throttle a bit to match rpm of next gear and changed it with the toe..

It shifted perfectly even though its the first time i'm trying it.
If it doesnt cause any extra wear and tear, clutchless upshifts are the way to go.. (i think its even smoother than the clutch shift !! )

it starts after 10 mins of ride.. after after 45 mins are so .. it develops heat same as in silencer ..

20W - 40 and the cold start problem

Earlier when many ppl reported on cold start issue I wasn't faced the issue as my GS was running on 15W-40. Switched to 20W-40 on yesterday; and started facing the cold start issue 15 to 20 kicks reqired to wake her up. Earlier just a press of start button wil bring her to life silently. nxt time whatever the brand I decided to go for either 10W or 15W - 40.
@ falcon: till now I was with millers road suzuki; nxt time before service I will distrub you coz I decided to go with airport road for next service which is due on 2nd september 2010 and you know almost all svc ppl there.
