        Sure the bike would retain its originality if you go for the paint of the tank from Suzuki themselves,it would also need new tank graphics like the original.
        Only if your bike is not Blue...then,bcoz the Blue color for Suzuki has deepened,but all other colors as the orange,black and silver are still of the same tone.

            Motul 5100 is single ester semi synthetic oil..

            Just help me with directions, from old madras road(near ngef) i should go under the cable bridge, and the road goes to the right. and this bunk is the first shell bunk to the left. is this correct ??
            I think if you go further there is another shell bunk too so i'm a bit confused.

            I'm going tomorrow itself and buying the vsx oil for sure..
            So happy that its available there

            @speed deamon:
            I dont think the tank will retain originality dude..
            Even my tank has a slight dent on it, they said they cant paint because they dont have access to the so called "high quality" paint that suzuki uses and if they can only give to local workshops and the paint quality wont be that good..
            (and in my case they said that blue colour isnt available anywhere too)

              The black bike has grey graphics or stickers on the tank.........expect no less then 3000 bucks for the kind of paint Suzuki uses.

                  Dude you pay 1500 bucks for metal........rest of 4500 bucks is the paint

                  If you dont get the stickers ,the bike would lose its originality,every company can provide the stock decal stickers and they are very much available...only that you would be without your bike for a few days

                      ......sad...
                      how can a kid be such a retard???? the scratch is looking like an accident,

                      anyway

                      Please buy a new one,exchange this one,you may get a waiver.But this would be a one time investment.Please be careful with it the next time.

                      Its really looking bad,get the kids parents to pay for this......

                      Next time be aware bro what else can I say

                          you said its 4500bucks.........i only know the paint costs,by chance asked one guy at the SSC...my bike is new,so dint bother to ask how much a new tank would cost.

                          • I think the tank is 3800 (inclusive of stickers which cost 200-300)..
                            Try painting it bro.. (i think it wont be more than 1k for painting)..

                            May be you can try painting the tank glossy white and put the decals of the red GS so it stands out in contrast to the white..

                            You'll have a nice and unique GS then
                            And white paint will be functional too, it will keep tank cooler by reflecting heat..

                              Paint quality would take a hit then.........
                              The SVC guy told me Suzuki repaints GS150R tanks for 2500-3000 bucks,depending on the color and stickers used.Local painters paint for around 1000 bucks and quality is not top notch....it would seem to be like the paint that came on new-bikes 15yrs earlier from now.

                                Yeah thats right, But still we have good local painters who gives the same good company quality paint finishing

                                the problem is you have to search out and get it done
