    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???
    dont think it will void the warranty. I for one have disconnected the pilots and am using osram silverstar 55/60. cost INR 210 in chennai. find that the lighting is better by at least 25%. only disadvantage is that the bulb will glow to full brightness only above 3-3.5k rpm, but am willing to live with the trade-off in favour of safer highway driving. if u dont want to switch to HID, then I would recommend this switch.

      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
      Congrats bro!!!!!!
      Don't worry, SMK people are good n polite...
      These bikes arrive by truck from gurgon, so will be covered with thick dust on its way
      BTW, keep in good relation with the service head of SMK, Mr. Kalyan...
      whatever it is, he will help u out better

      • kk went for my 3rd service,this time was able to get hold of the guy who looks into servicing SBk's,he had come from mumbai.Any way he did a whole bike review and fixed most of the issues,told him about knocking sound told he will rectify it and he told himself that it was tappet noise.My Engine Was quite hot so he told tappet needs a cool engine so i had to wait about 1/2.Then he removed the tank and used some kind of blades to adjust tappet.But I am still getting the Sound will see tomorrow morning.Also my bike is stalling sometimes looks like the idle has been set low.


        No Fuss About not changing engine oil since i know the guys,total SVC cost Rs 35(since bought a oil filter for future oil change).

        If any body has idea about the stalling problem will be gr8

            • Thanks guys,he changed the whole petrol tank just because it had a small scratch.
              yes drove like 120 km already bike seems super smooth i can feel the swim and surprisingly the bike has decent pick up which i really never thought of, after reading forums. the bike is actually a good rip off after few services i hope i'm totally happy n no regrets. just like all the GSRIANS said

              See you all in G2Gs
              will keep posting interesting updates

                • hi guys
                  this "gulf pride 4t +" is simply awesome ...the bikes behaviour is compeletly diff. than before ..gears are super slick and engine noise has also reduced compeleted some 6500 kms on odo...
                  this oil is worth for money even if lasts for good 2000 kms..
                  highly recommended...

                    Yes ,but 10,000km drain period is only for other bikes ,not for suzuki GS 150, I completed 2500km on, now slightly roughness started,But compared to castrol power1 , this oil is very good....

                      Me too suffering with some kind of noise , posted several times about to suzuki,and talk directly to suzuki factory......
                      I gave this site address long back to them, So silently watching this(may be)...
                      The frustrated thing is even i ready to pay for solving all problem ... there is nobody listening like dump
                      Even me have stalling problem in starting,when ever my engine cools this problem started,But i adjust rpm to 1500 in hot,I get screwdrive stuck in engine like sound before stalling..(which already discussed in thread long back)
                      Even i ready to pay for CA series,My SC pondy concentrate on Bike sales(which margin is more than CA series RR)

                        Consider the possibility that SC guys might have dropped the bike, this had happened to me once on my pulsar, they just keep silent about such things and see if the customer realizes...go back to them and raise the issue "post service handle has a problem"

                        • Quick update

                          13.3K on the odo... going for the 9th free service tomorrow. Bought Motul 3000 4t Plus 20W40 today at gopalapuram, chennai.. Costs around 220. Got 10 Rs. discount .... That place is called "International tyre service".. Deals with Motul also. Has got Iridium spark plugs in the show case..... Did not ask about it though....

                          Motul 300v FL costs around 895 Rs. And the person there told It'l be good till 7000 Kms.. So think would be a better deal. Would like to check out FL in the near future.

                          • hey can someone post the gear speed ratio of gs 150r
                            it is a little frustrating because i shit to 2nd gear at 10kmph(based on the engine feel) and when im in signal or traffic i have to keep changing between 1st n 2nd gear.

                              Gear ratios 1st to 6th.

                              1st-3
                              2nd-1.75
                              3rd-1.3
                              4th-1.091
                              5th-0.957
                              6th-0.833

                              Primary 3.476
                              Final 2.929

                              Moreover buddy,it also depends a lot on your riding style,my friends at Kolkata Xbhp know the fact well that I seldom shift the 1st gear even when moving from standstill,and even in traffic start-stop conditions,I am always in 2nd gear.........and they always advise me to put the bike in 1st gear as they do on their own machines.I can do 8kmph in 2nd gear and cruise at that speed,take turns and all.

                              So,ride the bike in a way thats comfortable to you thats all........it will only take some time to get settled in.And also one more thing,dont forget to warm up your engine as you begin the day on your bike.Warm up-means start the engine without raising the throttle and let it idle for atleast 2 minutes,thats all.

                              Some poor quality images from my Mobile camera of my two month old bike in the garage.

They acknowledged it saying there is stock and they have received two RR units and one might be yours but they requested to get the bike in the morning to get it fixed, and any evening it is not possible as they have servicing commitments.

                                Mileage is still 53 odd avg 50% city 50% ring road. I wonder what tuning the bike had during ARAI testing that it came up with 63 kmpl avg.


                                my GS 150R mileage is 51/lr only.

                                ride the bike in higher gear with lower speed you will get 63 km/lr.
                                4th gear speed 25km/hr
                                5th gear speed 30km/hr
                                6the gear speed 35 km/hr

                                try it...
