Why did you took the delivery of the bike in first place brother ????
GS150R is a good bike but that doesn't mean you will take whatever the Coconut head from the showroom obliges to deliver.You should have taken,an absolutely new one,not one from the stock and too a test bike:from your definition it seems so.
When I took the delivery of my GS150R it was spanking new!!! believe me,the bike was manufactured on June 5th and I took delivery of the vehicle on 12th June .A Spanking new machine,I was killed with delight !!!
I rode it back home,60kms in the rains.........it was an awesome day.

Now the bike has,marks,paint scrape here and there,thanks to it being my bike of daily use and the narrow entrance of my house and also to the rainy season that keeps putting mud.But all it requires is just a wash to look showroom condition.It has been teflon coated from one of the leading teflon coaters in my city well-known for coating 4-wheelers.The teflon thing really works and seems to last 7-8months,whereas renewal is due in 6 months.

kk guys i am almost nearing 4k kms had changed to gulf at 2.4k kms now after some rains here getting lot of thud sound while downshifting along with a click sound,also not able to go to neutral sometimes from 1st gear have to go to 2nd then downshift. Any ideas on what to do?

hey guys
today got rid of suzuki kkompany oil, got a brand new bottle of gulf pride 4t + "the black color one bottle" for 195 rs.
was amazed to see the smoothness the gear shifts turned smooth instantly..could'nt ride further..hope its remains good for next 2000 kms.

i'm not getting good fuel efficiency, its around 40kmpl. earlier it was 55 kmpl or more .. mostly in excellent four lane roads of greater noida.
but m scared to tune the carb manually ,, acc to my observation the rpm on the tacho is not accurate ,,the service centre guy used the pulse tachometer to correct the feul setting onthe carb for the jerk-king problem earlier ..that tacho was superb as the reading on his pulse tacho and my bike's tacho were different to 100 to 140 rpms ,",approx gs tacho reading" ..in pulse tacho the reading comes in digital display ..form
wat to do ? confused!! ..should go ahead by the method posted earlier by many of fellows gspians?? help !!

Anupdas... i'm one of the few earlier members of this group and my GS is more than a year old and clocked almost 8k KMs... so there is no question of waiting any more . I registered complaints 3-4 times, but no response from Suzuki side for mileage... earlier i used to get 47-50 km, the moment i asked SC guys to tune it for better fuel effeciency, everything went bad... even i'm thinking of trying semi synthetic engine oil for next change.
Also, even I want to change my RR unit from AA to CA b'cos of bad focus of headlight, let me check with my dealer first on saturday.

hey guys ,
I woke up at 445. and i wanted to ride the bike !So i took the keys went out.. started the bike,
all i had to say was WOW. !. utter smoothness in the bike i kept riding around like 8kms totally.
@mach50. no its not a test drive vehicle as the odo showed only 32, when i bought it (they took it for reg etc) it was spanking new @ the delivery time. just that i went a hour earlier it wasn't ready, i just got frustrated last night and typed all those because i was so pissed at them forgetting to change the seat (or doing that wantedly) and i had to check n make them change again. Yes the odo showed 32.utter smooth engine what else i need
bike is totally smooth NO VIBES AT ALL m so glad..


I was riding on 6th gear with 40 kmph and the bike just swims around the road so cool !After i came back home i parked the vehicle i hear one tick sound 3 secs break and another tick sound.. is that normal? (this is my first bike, i am used to ride my friends bike all the times)

just 1 doubt about the gear shift. it becomes hard when i try to do wrong gear shifts. its hard some times its loose sometimes.. tell me how to check if gear box is right. im going to SC on saturday to get the tank and mudgaurd replaced as the SC saw us disheartened by a 2 cm scatch on them :P

@ Sharshas

Sorry for the earlier post, since you have done more than 8K, you can try semi-synthetic and on next oil change go for fully synthetic. Regarding the mileage, even I was not happy as the mileage kept on coming down. From your earlier post it seemed like a leaner mixture issue. Try tuning carb by yourself, I followed a trial and error method to find the optimum tuning. You can tell the difference just by the throttle response and engine's willingness to revv.

That's the way she runs.........

The clicking sound is due to the catalytic converter. The sound is caused by the contraction of the metal tubes inside converter on cooling. You should be more worried when you dont hear any.

It will take sometime for gearbox to settle just like engine. Proper gear shifting is the key in break-in running. Its not the speed, but the engine rpm that should be monitored. Shift gears when engine rpm reaches around 4.5K and dont use top gear to run in slow speeds. Always keep engine rpm between 3.5-4.5 K rpm. Avoid running in same engine rpm, vary it. Occasionally give short bursts of acceleration for the best coupling of the engine components.

After couple of oil changes you will be able to shift only using your toe . And also many people say the gearshifts are bad as they are not used to the gear shifter of GS, but there is a reason why its so.

hey anupdas thanks a lot, im just done with pooja. the bike is freaking awesome ! my friend who owns a p180 loves the smoothness he found in this bike . im going to college now , ill upload the pics by evening thanks guys

Hey anupdas... no need to ask sorry dude... its ok. Will shift to full synthetic oil soon, possibly shell helix... lets see. I tuned carb my self, the bikes feels much better in throttle response now, lets see the actual mileage figures, will post once i get numbers.

To make it good change the oil filter while switching to full synthetic for the first time

@sharshas
shell helix is car oil. DO NOT use this for the bike.

for the GS u may use Shell Advance VSX 10W40 (semi synth) OR Shell Advance Ultra 10W40 (fully synth). both are good and meant for bikes.

regds

Here are the pics of my lil beast ! GS 150 RRRRRR . Totally Satisfied !

GUYS
back on forum aftr a month...
it took me sooo long to read out all those comments/ replies
I have one apology.. i havent posted pics of the bike...sorry guys.
now i have some questions..
1 If i change pilots with LED & hedlight with 55/55w bulb, will it void the warrenty???
2 Anyone with exp of OSRAM SILVERSTAR 55/55w?? where can i get it in pune???

will post pics soon

All the best for your ride man... Keep your baby cool until the break in....

The old silencer panel looks good when compared to the new one.. No offence meant here... My persoonal opinion ...

A quick update on my bike... Done 8.9k in the ODO.... The anna nagar (chennai) SVC has been shut down so have to go to nandanam ABT for service... Did a teflon coating.. bike look new and shining

Getting a mileage of 50+ even in rash driving.. Enjoying the ride very much...
