Hi Arish,

Don't go for synthetic oil now, motul is good for high speed. ( I believe mach50 is using motul mineral)

wait atleast till 8000 kms do change oil filter with O ring along while switching to synth oil.

I already told someone on the thread swithching to synthetic without changing the the oil filter won't lgive you a good result.

For best result wait till 10k on odo as anup said;

I would say synthetic won't increase the bike speed, even research stats didn't find much diffrence between synth and mineral. by default the SVC guys and suzuki keeps the engine revs in control speed during the initial phase. They will tune it again during the next service.

So you are ready to violate warrenty for mods !!!

Macho bhai please explain him about power shifting.

did mileage tuning is it okay

Hi Mach,

Did tried mileage tuning today

1 driven for 5 kms
2 parked and increased idling to 3000RPM stable
3 turned fuel screw clockwise until it reached end position. At that time idling had came down to 1500 RPM.
4 Lowered the idling till 1000RPM and engine was stopped started again and
5 Turned fuel screw 2 anti clockwise rotations, RPM came up to 1500RPM.
6 given throttle up to 7000 RPM and leave it in running on idle it came to 1500RPM.
7 as told by someone engaged all gears on central stand only, Engaged all the gears RPM was around 1500-1600RPM with stable firing sound.
Then driven back home checked idling was at 1500 RPM .

MACH here my question is earlier in the thread for some one it settled at 4 anti clockwise turning and for me its 2 anti clockwise turns from the end position. Is that difference is okay ?

But am sure now the bike pickup is good and it didn't stall at all on low speed while driving. Willl check mileage sooner

Arish.........brother there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Lets first accept the fact,that our GSR is a 150cc,air-cooled 2Valve,power commuter motorcycle.With a maximum power of 13.8bhp and 13.5Nm torque and that too it weighs 150kg.............it is a torquemiester,a very torquey bike infact.You can get the picture clear if you consider SUVs among cars and Streetfighters among bikes.These kind of bikes arent meant for top speed sprinting.They are more of muscular origin.........Hence cruise @100kmph for the whole day,GSR wont complain.Raise the throttle suddenly in the city,note the amount of brawn.
But what most of us thinks and does that,we push this normal 150cc bike against higher cc bikes,race developed and track focused bikes..............and if it fails,we complain.......question is why ?????
Havent you already noticed that it is a hell lot faster than the Pulsar150DTSi,FZ16,Unicorn........doesnt that means anything to you ???
It beats all similarly engineeered bikes hands down and that too at a lower price point and maintenance schedule.
It also is at par with the RTR160s.........your friend might have been lucky on his bike that there were no cross winds that day.RTR160s weighs 136kg,got 15.2bhp power,and it has got a 160cc engine.......it has to go faster.But give in some cross-winds,and you would be lapping him.
Theres nothing to be ashamed of,its all about loving what you ride.
Let me tell you an incident in my life now,
This GSR of mine,I use it always to develop my skills.I was used to lighter bikes.A bike this heavy taught me the ways of handling fast and heavy bikes.This bike taught me to reap the max power of the bike.This bike is helping me to be a better rider everytime I ride it.
And last Sunday,I smoked a ZMA,R15 and an RTR180 with a Pulsar220F of my friend's on a road with a lot of twisty and windy sections and long straights.
Now Pulsar 220F is a 156kg bike,with a huge wheelbase,cornering on this bike,is not for everyone........its not R15 or ZMA that everyone would hop on it and turn in.But still I beat all the seasoned riders on their own bikes atop a bike which is not mine................
Whom would I account for my skills ??? The P220 ??? No,way,it was just a weapon of smokin'..........at the end of the day its my GSR who taught me,to corner big bikes,use the mass to my advantage,handle abrupt surge in power,finding power while acceleration,when to brake,when not to.
I understood one thing very clear,had I have owned the P220,I would have lost in corners,because,I would have never bothered to learn the skill,becoz of the fact that I would do well with extra punch of power......but while riding a lesser but versatile GSR I get to sharpen my skills and to become the better rider by the day.A better rider wont ever be ashamed,he already has instilled the respect in other's mind,that given the right bike........he would be the fastest.
I had a budget to go both for the R15 and the P220 two months back.But I knew,I require a robust and economical bike,since I am gonna use it daily in the city.The budget I saved after buying the GSR is what has added into my savings for my future Superbike.........the GSX750R,a bike that can smoke a 700bhp Skyline GTR in straight line............and without skills it would kill.

So once more,there is nothing to be ashamed of while riding the GSR.It has already proved itself.

Are you sure its 2 ????...........because,its the setting done by the company,and its lean position.
The optimum setting is 3.5-4.0 anticlockwise turns from the lock position of the fuel screw of the carb.
Mine is set at 3.75 and it provides demonic acceleration along with frugal economy

Heres a pic of myself atop the Pulsar220-the fastest Indian

Alternate HeadLight Bulb

Hi Guys, as we all know the stock bulb of head light is not much powerful. It's a Halonix make.

After reading some reviews I changed my stock bulb to "Philips H1 35/35". This bulb is available in any Honda spare. I'll let you know the result tonight.

Can you guy share your experience on alternate bulbs which you are using now (OSRAM or PHILIPS .. ) . Which model gives the bright light ?

@MACH50 and others: Today I will set the carb as per the method here. I remember seeing a photo indicating the position of idle and fuel screw. Can someone please repost that photo here?

I don't know u ask this pic or not pls clarify, but there is no idle screw here its on other side,and pointing downwards

I am using Philips premium 35/35 HS1 it is some what better than stock, but after i changed to CA series RR now feel more better...So change to CA series RR, ur result of changing H1 will more......

Do I need to purchase the CA unit or the SVC will replace the existing one ( BA Unit) ??

Its SVC should replace, but its not happen easily if u read the thread ,We fight it and get it.Otherwise final way is to tell them "i will pay for it"....
Read about how madhu bhai changed and others, if u go some previous pages of this thread..

Congrats Bro !!! Have a safe and enjoyable ride !!!

re carb tuning

Checked again and reset it

Now I have the golden screw 3.5 turns from the dead lock position

And idle screw has almost 5 to 6 threads visible on top

i also adjusted my carb setting. i turned clockwise direction to make the screw go inside ( leaner) i turned till it went and locked it.

then turned anti- clockwise and set 3.5. i count one as one full rotation.

is this right ?

---- update

our manual says "if the standard plug is apt to get wet,replace with this plug" CPR6HSA what it mean ?

*shouts* Can somebody please tell me What advancement will Carb Tuning give to our GS150R ? I'm clueless

Sorry brother MSN1....i will keep in mind all the precious advice you have given to me...after reading your experience...i will never let down my GSR again...its a wonderful machine on highways as well as in the city...i had forgotten that its a commuter/tourer bike....and not a sports bike unlike RTR (sort of)....
You know one thing....I am an Engineering student...i always wanted a fast and beautiful bike....this year when my old kinetic DX had a major problem with its engine,after that it was of no use and we sold it to some garage guy....i was very upset because i did'nt had any bike to go for the college..
after a month my dad gave me a surprise by giving me the GS150R as a gift...i was totally surprised as well as disappointed with my dad's choice...with the first impression i thought it's a bike of an office going guy...and yes it was'nt suiting my personality...(I thought at that pont of time)...i took a test drive and found that it was very smooth..(initially i used to drive my friend's RTR 160)...it was a way smoother than the RTR..I was hoping for some other bikes
like the Karizma ZMR or the R15...or atleast the FZ-s...but after that my dad told me that he liked the bike at the first glance and when he took the test drive he was amazed with the performance....(my dad knows really well about bikes)...NOW iam completely satisfied with the performance...but want more top speed..(though not possible)...

MSN1...... i have one more problem...my bike is giving me only 40-45 km mileage... i really drive sensible...also turn off engine during signals...after serving the SC guys loosened the clutch...so i was unable to shift gears easily...also the bike kept moving even though when i pressed the clutch...
Is this the main problem of less mileage....????? but today i went to the garage guy...he did the clutch setting very well...just the way i wanted...i think the garage guys are much better than the SC guys...the garage guy also told me that the SC only do washing and some small setting..they never check the bike thoroughly for problems...
MSN1 please help me......also give me some tips for better mileage...also tell me if any mods are there for mileage...??? AND YES...BEST LUCK FOR YOUR DREAM BIKE GSX750R.... i am sure one day you will definitely own it..

Oh brother meri aankhein khol di *_-
GS is my 1st bike.. I being thin, it was very tough initially to ride this monster.. But now Unicorn & other seem so light & short in height when compared to our GS150R :-D
