nice photoshop work
It suits FZ
BTW u missed rear suspension

even i know that brother,,,,, even slight change in sprockets also changes performance,,, forget chain faults
i think chain faults only include either tight chain or loose chain or dirty chain or rough ( needs lubrication ) chain,,,,,,,,,,

we are talking here about whether fixing chain problems is easy or not!!!!
so i told fixing chain related problem are not as complicated as solving engine related problems and can be done by the SC guys who may even knowing about the engine!!!

what was that " i know " for ???



it will take time for the zuki 150r to endanger unicorn acc to me
suzuki i dont know why has done very ineffective marketing
and still it has a NEW factor,,,,, so its not tried and tested for long periods now
so still people who might fear its life or even spare parts availability due to errr some say suzuki might stop suddenly
so people still go for unicorn untill suzuki gains its name
specially in the commuter market its very difficult to brake the market
specially honda 's n HH n bajaj to some extent
that is why yamaha did not even try to do that,,,,, they targeted youth n look oriented people,,,,,,,,,,, bloody intelligent and damn successful strategy,,,,,,as a result the fz and r15 were an instant hit and also there being no competitor ,,,, the r15 easily took ground,,,,, and look oriented guys,,, went for fz ,,,,,,,,, although no ruling down any of the bikes
both are good in their perspective
r15 toh i should not comment at all

but hey i am atleast happy that suzuki had the guts to come up and give it a fight!! they are already giving some fight in the scooter section
access 125 is selling,,,,, not like activa but is stealing sales

who knows one day people may wow for gs 's reliability
lets pray for it

anyways did u hear that a new version of the uni may come out with a broader rear tire
heck

Good short review dude. Didn't you find the 3rd and 4th gear short geared and well suited for city? When I test drove this, I was thinking not so good in the 1st two gears then the third and fourth surprised me with their pull, even with a heavy pillion.

if he had to photoshop!!! ,,,,, he would have done so with the gsr
not pulsar

I feel that headlight bulb used in GS is not sufficient.
Remember there was a post on this, but couldn't find.
Anyone pls let me know, which bulb can b used for better result....

@pranay: I felt the same. Rode with a pillion. The best part I found was engine sounded the same even under heavy throttle. In fact, you hardly know what speed you are going at, until you need to press the brakes(I was at 70 in a not so wide lane). I didn't find the brakes to be bad at all.

@outworldly maniac: You are right, I also feel Suzuki needs to market their product better&instill confidence in the minds of people by providing excellent service&spares backup. If you look at the executives (unlike me), who are the target segment for this bike, they want a smooth stress free bike which they can ride to office daily&they don't wanna pay visits to the SVC for anything other than routine services. I think this bike will live up to the expectations&it should be a matter of time before executive commuters start realizing that Honda is not the only reliable bike. Still, Suzuki should have done this much earlier.

@abhi_gsr: Congrats on the purchase of the new bike! Coming to the chain problem, don't worry, every bike has some or the other defective part in it, what is warranty for! My Fiero F2 had its entire SAI (Secondary Air Injection) unit replaced under warranty due to terrible misfiring.
Anyways, I don't think your bike has a defect.
What kind of noise do you get? Is it like something scratching "khach-khach" or "tak-tak"? If it is the latter, then the chain is loose, which is most probably the case. When you take it to the SVC, just hang around when they open up the chain cover&inspect the chain slack or free play-you can do this by putting your finger below the chain&moving it up-it should not move up more than 25mm., which is 1 inch approx.
If it is the former sound, you need to get it cleaned with the appropriate cleaning agent, kerosene or something else-You will get more info on it in the manual. If greasing is allowed, get it greased&fit back with the correct amount of slack. Also ensure that chain cover bolts are securely fastened. Even after all this if the problem recurs, fight with the SVC Manager&demand a chain kit replacement under warranty!
Happy riding&do follow the run-in instructions carefully!

i felt the same yaar..
somewhere in this thread a gs owner changed the headlight from helonix to philips and was happy abt it.. even i wanted to know which one will be better? i want to check xenon lights too.. r they legal?
any idea how much it will cost?

Naaa Second service is on 3500.......I just completed 3000 I am at 3004, probably next weekend I am on for second one....

Nothing....as HYD said we are net picking....we have set the standard so high for this bike initially that now even the very minor issues seems like huge and we are dissappointed....

BTW your behaviour seems you WANT GS to fail just to prove me its not worth a bike....

@Abhi..... Even my chain got loose when I was about to reach first service.....which was rectified at the first service....no issues since then....well for me all my issues which almost everybody faced were delt with successfully after the first service........I do feel bad when people complain but guys give the bike a break......I am at 3000 and bike is zooming with evey km I cover......what can I say have patience.....

Hey Thanks Sarvajit for putting in your thoughts. Even i do not think it is a defect but i did not expect such niggling Issues after paying around 70k.
And these SC Guys behave as if they are doing us a big favor by attending to our Bike Problems.

Regarding the chain noise, i would say it is a mix of both. It feels as if the chain is scratching or rubbing with something and you sometimes get the tak tak sound as well. The Sound is significantly more when riding doubles.

Lets see, will be going to the SC Tomorrow.
Hope they fix it and know how to do it.

congratts to you too buddy and you are welcome......yes I am on think digit as well, r u the member there (wht ID?).......



Actually I'm not in think digit. I just searched for GS150R reviews in google and your post was one of the search results. Same with the xbhp review also. I'll get my bike tomorrow positively and orange one and I'll post the pics.

The Philips Made in Germany bulb that comes with Unicorn, Shine, Splendour & Passion Plusses, FZ16 is better than the Halonix one I saw on some Pulsars and Apaches. Walk down to a HH spares shop and buy the bulb. Make sure it is Philips & is made in Germany. It costs Rs 95 there. With Honda I think it costs Rs 160!!!

Don't really know how good or bad the beam is but with the same Halonix bulb the RTR gives very good lighting. The GS does seem to have a good reflector though.

thanks boss.. will check into it..
what do u suggest about xenon bulbs? i see a lot of bikes on road having those, but one of my friend was telling that its illegal.. is it?

well, that's what even I hear... they have to be in a projector to be legal and I can 100% understand why it is so. The light is very blinding and in normal reflectors they scatter in all directions.

For more info pls check the "Let There be Light" thread in the Universal Threads section.

Guys, please do not use HIDs or xenon lamps in the reflectors directly.It will surely blind the on coming traffic & there might be a disaster.Instead buy an aftermarket lamps & convert it to an HID.Else you can install Hella lamps which come with a H3 55w bulb.

I had posted it earlier that I have changed my bulb to a Philips 35/35w.

what do i get even if GS fails brother
if time,,,, see in the uni thread or zma thread,,,,,
i have criticized those legendary bikes also,,,,,
but the zma guys very friendly patiently solved all my queries and misconceptions
uni guys hardly care,,,,, only one of them replies and they feel the query is answered ,,,,but still they solved my misconceptions

u owe me nothing friend but still on behalf of u all i have written to suzuki!!!
because except two or three people here
we are somewhat noobs,,,,,,,,,,,,,
so i asked suzuki to solve our queries

infact if u want to know my point of view
i want the gs to be a BIG HIT
so that bloody hondas realize that there is competition and improve standard
competition improves standards ,,,, undoubtedly
dont sound like those erratic girls who want praise all the time
this is constructive criticism friend

anyways,,,,, if u feel so,,, do tell me
i ll stop this,,,,,
dont wanna hurt anyone's sentiments at all

enjoy ur ride n enjoy ur life
take care
