Mihar,do we need to keep the bike alive in the entire process of tuning or swithch on and off in between raising idle and fuel screw.

hi guys
recently previous saturday did an ass breaking "one and a half day trip " greater noida- delhi -dehradun-mussourie-delhi-greater noida"

..,a total of 679 kms, it was simply amazing ..we had a total 0f 5 bikes and 9 dudes.. i drove solo throughout..so as to enjoy the gsr's ride in the highways & hills mostly...

Inetresting to say only mine 'gsr' was the odd man out ,rest being pulsars 180 and 150 "i hate pulSars" ,
,i was amazed to see the traction of the gsr's mill on steep hair pin climbs of dehra dun - shimla road" man, these climbs are really steep gsr could climb easily in fourth gear at 30-35 kmph comfortably at 4.5 k rpm,, .. scenery was breath taking , clocked 114 kmph on flat roads competing with 180's often giving them a dash ..,gsr is a gem in high speed runs and in straight line braking too esp."in harsh conditions" the front disc does the job really well ... && a must to say the grip of the tyres waz superb , to be told ,that it was a throughout wet slippery tarmac with constant drrizzles being encountered on hills and some areas in meerut-roorkee high way too.

We descended from mussourie's hair pin bend slopes ,after evening light .. to my notice gsr's lights 'mine with ca series rr' are arn't bad, they are at par with 180's headlights...though, all of them seemed insufficient ,thanks to 1 HID soul in our group on his pulsar 150 ..he did the job well, being first one in the row of 6 bikers to guide us through deadly blind curves in darkness .. "HID IS simply AMAZING".i suerly will for HID once the warranty period gets over. && at last but not the least gsr gave an outstanding fuel eff. figure, amongst all of the bikes .. i refuelled only once "a full tank" whereas my frnd's did fill 10 litres more than me ,my friends showing signs of jealousy, uttering " saala kitna average deti hai yaar ,,hadd ho gyi "
53 kmpl "approx as per my calculations" kmpl ,, inspite of full throttle pinning ,often on empty stretches and 65-75 kmph speed reguraly .

Over & Out with aching backs,broken asses,& a hole in pocket "i'm an engg student, plzz consider " and lots of photography to cherish ..

backkk to gloomy world of mechanical lectures ..

Can you help me regarding my problem ???
is it possible to increase the top speed of the bike ?
does K&N filters actually increase the acceleration of the bike?

@Blackbeauty:Trust me,I love my bike and biking and I spend atleast an hour in this interest of mine.......thus I have informed you the make and origin of our carb,look no further unless you want to get distracted

Suzuki Access

conv: CR6HSA
Power: CR6HGP
Iri: CR6HIX


GS150R

Conv : CPR7HSA

BAJAJ Wind

NGK Conventional :CR7HSA
NGK G-Power:CR7HGP
NGK Iridium IX : CR7HIX

CR7HIX cannot be replaced to our GS cos our Conventional is CPR7 not CR7

@Arish: Actually I have clocked 127kmph on my GSR,and it was not all alone,I was riding with a Karizma and an RTR160Fi.The ZMA was doing around 135kmph on its speedo,the RTRFi was at a bike's distance behind me.
ZMA was doing the lead..........I held to the speed range of 123-127kmph for about 25minutes,then three of us felt the need to slow down,as the rest of our group wanted to go slower .After this I want to tell you,my bike is stock and is without any mods,its even younger than your bike(2months)
But yes,top speeds achieved on the GSR depends a lot on,the way you ride,the condition and type of engine oil you are using,tyre pressure and road character along with cross-wind and side wind nature......so also do think about these things.Also,one more thing,the reserve fuel capacity specified in my GSR Owner's Manual is 3.5 litres.

I want to help you, but my knowledge is very much theoretical and a little practical . The free flow air filters allow more air-fuel mixture into cylinder increasing the compression ratio and hence power. But with only a single cylinder there will may be a max increase of 5%. Free flow air filters, NGK spark plugs, spit fire cables and free flow exhausts are the most common performance modifications done to increase the top end performance. Also decreasing the teeth in rear sprocket can increase the top end with a compromise to low-end but we need to rev hard to provide torque to wheels. The stock is provided with the optimum setting, you will have to sacrifice one to increase other.

To be frank, 118 kmph from a 150 CC engine is too much. GS is very stable in high speeds but it is not built for such high speeds. If anything go wrong one will regret for his life. Our forum exercises safe biking, a good driver always know his limit and drive responsibly.

but how to change the oil filter. as in shell they will change oil only. where to change the oil filter without draining the existing oil.

Hi Arish,

Good oil for normal use go for gulf or motul 3000T Plus (20 W - 40)

I said these are good mineral oil for GSR I can't guarantee you the high speed.

Let us know the following to answer speed attaining query

1. What's on your bike ODO (how many kilometers does the console shows as of now ?)

2. how many services are done till?

3. Aproxmate kilometers crossed after last oil change

Before doing mods do please spend an hour on reading the manual of your bike ...... Because it may be too early for the bike to accept your performance mods(don't kill the golden duck)

@ Arish

Most of your query is answered by Madhu Bhai. The oil used by service centers is Castrol. Motul and Gulf will be good for you as bike is only 4 month old. Till 10K use mineral oil for longevity of engine. Then you can change to fully synthetic to unleash the full capability of GS. I dont think changing just oil can increase the top end, but a good oil always revs engine fast and keep engine smooth even in high rpm.

I have clocked 113 but couldn't maintain the speed due to cross winds. If cross winds were not there it would have gone around 120(I'm 75 Kg). You have already done 118, I assume you used a low profile by crouching behind the windscreen to minimize the drag. Use tight dress or proper gears to reduce the drag. This will take you to at least 125. But its a risky position if there are cross winds.
