Hi Arun Prasad!!!
Where did u manage to get Gulf oil in chennai...
BTW i stay near Adyar....
I enquired a shop today, lot of confusion happened...
He had
Mobil 20-40
Motul 3000 15w 50
and some nationallubes etc.....


Have no patience to go through the posts again...
Lot of people are positive with Gulf 4t pride plus.. Motul is also good...
And once again where in Chennai i can get Gulf oil

Thanks in Advance

ya...i get it...if u want extremely good mileage u've to loose performance ...now i rev my bike a little freely...i think i was so excited when my bike gave 68kmpl .. my dad's 125 cc glamour is struggling to give 60 kmpl...and as i already mentioned my driving was in a express way and state highway with negligible traffic....there was no need to change gears...thats why i got a big figure i think...

regarding head light issue i'm eagerly waiting to drive others crazy

@mathew
you can use Shell ultra FS 10W40 if you are keen to change to fully synthetic. Have been using this oil for the last 1500kms, and performance is very good in city as well as highway runs. engine is very free revving and I can feel the power delivery from 2k rpm itself in any gear without knocking, Gearshifts are smooth. drain interval for this oil is 9000kms. Available at any shell petrol pump. cost INR745.

Else, have seen Gulf Pride 4t in the large Helmet and Accessories shop which is behind KUN Honda showroon on canal bank rd, near Indiranagar MRTS.

wow, that is very near to my shop
BTW, i bought Mobil Super 4t 20w-40 near my house...
Behind the bottle it is written API SG Quality, Meets JASO MA...

Some say this oil is good and one xbhpn has already crossed 3k on his odo and having no issues

Is there any problem if i try this out??? cos i can ask this dealer to get me GULF Pride 4t....

Guys, can someone please point out the threads by MACH50 and Anupdas where they had specified adjusting the carb?

below ur R to R fuel knob u can see carburator ,there u can view one gold color screw ,thats it.For most of GS bikes it is in "I" postion(i.e the screw thread in vertical postion)

cant comment on something which i haven't used.. I have only used castrol/shell oils till date. and shell FS has been the best in my experience.

as long as the grade is x40, guess u can keep experimenting and see what suits u best

Falcon......my swing arm is not dented........I can assure you.

CARB TUNING GUIDE :

For the Suzuki GSR........
Tune the carb as adviced in the Bike advice article.I also participated in making that article and you will find my suggestions under the name of Suddhatma Mukherjee.

Take note:
Mikuni BS26mm has Bronze colored Fuel screw on its left side.......or the left side of the bike.The Steel colored Idling screw is on the right side,pointing vertically upwards-supporting the dual throttle cable.I wont explain which side rotation makes lean or rich.....as I expect confusion out of it.Just follow whats written below


For the GSR,take the bike out for a ride-ride for about 15 minutes and do some 2-3kms,this is the perfect engine warm up.......
Next,bring the bike home or at garage,put it on central stand.
Get the screw driver out of your tool kit and proceed as follows-
1.raise idling to 3000 rpm by turning the idling screw,then turn the fuel screw clockwise till lock(count the clockwise rotations),rpms would come down to around 1400rpm.
2.Next lower the idling to 1000 rpm with the idling screw,the bike would be about to stall.This means you have reached leanest possible mixture.
3.Then turn the Fuel screw anti-clockwise,four rotations.........bingo,you are at optimum tune.Rpms would auto-matically rise to 1500-1600 rpms from 1000rpms lower the idling screw a bit to bring it around 1500rpms.

You will find the engine humming without any up or down or irregularities in engine beating.
Mine is at 4.5 rotations anticlockwise from lock,5.0 rotations anticlockwise from lock would make rich mixture.

While turning the fuel screw of my bike to lock position clockwise,It had 2.5 rotations on factory set up........which is at leaner position.But now its 4.5 rotations from Lock.

Tests to affirm if your tuning is ok.
1.After the tuning is over.......and you are done setting the idling rpm.........rev the engine till 6500rpm and leave the throttle.If the rpms falls and stops at 1500rpm exactly....then your tuning is alright.If it falls below idling rpm......your tuning is not stable......try it again.If the rpm fall at stop is higher than idling setting,lower the idling by the idling screw.Which means that your bike was not at normal temperature during the tuning.It was colder.

2.After you have been through the first test........keep the engine running,sit the bike on the central stand,engage the first gear,slowly engage the clutch fully.If the rear wheel keeps turning without jerks and without the engine stalling,it means your idling rpms are very much stable and the tuning is perfect.Shift gears and watch for the same in every gear.If its ok in every gears......congrats....you have tuned your bike well Go now smoke

Guys, changed the RR unit, Mr kalyan in SMK suziki porur was very helpful ,he patiently tried al lthe 3 RR units, AA,BA ,CA and marked the light throw and intensity and agreed with me that CA series is better and hence replaced, also cleared the swing arm bolt sound today. Mileage is good, got almost 55. after that i filled in a suspicious bunk and i got only 40. Will check again and update.

Thanks sanjukoli12!

u r right man.. while applying disc brake it can be easily felt

i got it in avadi.

got RR unit replacement?? what complaint u made to change RR unit? & whats that swing arm bolt sound?

Thump sound wow mach50 its truly nice man

Today gone for a long ride, felt bit lazy hence driven slowly on the narrow village road where no noise or air pollution,

Mach50 Bhai you are right it's like the thumping sound of the bullet on slow speed enjoyed it

thanks all!!!!!
i finally bought mobil oil,
will try and let keep u all updated regarding its performance
