well @Arish no point in blaming other even if it is 3L or 3.2L when you know that you are going to ride in night or difficult condition don't experiment.
Guys need some advice Oil change needed Gulf didn't last more than 2300Kms so thinking about going for Motul 3000T Plus 20w40 this time. Any reviews about this?
I haven't yet fiddled with my mileage will take a conservative approach and will do it after 3rd service which will be around 25 days from now already i have done 5k kms with less than 3months done.
So after this oil change will shift to Synth any good oils in synth do recommend as well.
Issues currently same old knocking sound is back.Comment

Akfara nothing mind boggling, all the steps are similar to mach50 except that i kept the rpm at 2k throughout whereas in his case it was 3k or above (initial raise the rpm by turning idle screw, etc). After tuning is done of course you need to set the idle down to 1.3k...Originally posted by akfara View PostRaghunandan K.S.

@Maestro.........KN by itself doesnt increase any drastic bhp,it only increases compression leading to wider spread of torque,so your acceleration gets increased.If you need real power increase,drop the catcon on your exhaust pipe,pop in the KN and also go for a bigger carb.You would be looking at a 16bhp bike give or take
@Fuel reserve trouble-2010 GS150r manual indicates reserve capacity of the bike as 3.1*L,*-means The capacity of the fuel tank provided in the vehicle is approximate and non-calibrated,as indicated in the manual-no wonder why the measured reserve capacity on my bike is 3.5L.
@As far as carb tuning goes:if anyone is satisfied with the leaner mixture or the company set mixture,he is welcome.At 3.75 turns anti-clockwise my bike provides demonic acceleration and an FE of 58kmpl,I don't know if its fuel efficient,but its surely Optimum for my bike.I wont go overboard claiming some astronomical mileage figures,because I am incapable of that.My bike always does 70kmph+ be it city roads or highways and it drags at each clutch burning traffic and traffic lights.
Someone rightly said in the R15 forum:If you are getting 55kmpl mileage,you qualify for the slowest R15 rider.

Actually those were said in a poll meant for R15 users regading mileage given by their bikes

Mach Bhai, how can there be only one universal optimum tuning pointOriginally posted by MACH50 View Post@As far as carb tuning goes:if anyone is satisfied with the leaner mixture or the company set mixture,he is welcome.At 3.75 turns anti-clockwise my bike provides demonic acceleration and an FE of 58kmpl
. The tuning method you suggested is genuine, but if the optimum point is same for everyone it would have been really nice. For me it was 2.75, a slight more turn to richer side reflects by fluctuation in rpm and slight dip in rpm. If its more than half turn then rpm is only decreasing, so 2.75 is optimum for me. I didn't feel a demonic acceleration but throttle response was good and engine was revving in ease, and even after shifting all gears above 6K mark and riding around 70-80, it returned 53 kmpl.
So what I meant to say is that optimum setting is different for each bike. One interesting thing I noticed is that me, falcon and Madhu Bhai all have same set up and have almost similar points. While you and Mihir have 2010 GS, the carburetor has been changed to Padmini(Only name is different, Indian version of Mikuni), that may be the reason why there is a change in optimum point.Last edited by Anupdas; 08-22-2010, 11:14 PM.Well-trained reflexes are quicker than luck.........Comment

No we use Mikuni BS26......the original one.If warranty is claimed,its gonna be forwarded to the US corpOriginally posted by Anupdas View Post
and hence,I pray that,it be as good as on my Dad's Fiero,otherwise I have to wait for some weeks till the warranty returns or replaces my carb.
I claim demonic acceleration instead of throttle response,with a sound similar to SBKs,I would post a stunt video of my bike here shortly,see and hear it to believe
I was also thinking of chatting with you,we haven't talked for long,
you know,till this date,the mileage meter hasn't flickered even once.........it shows one bar,when the bike reaches reserve !!!!
Since I wanted deliberately to experience,the flicker,took my bike to SVC and told them how it can be done,they measured my reserve to be 3.5L and told me to drain it accordingly in order to see flicker
I felt stupid then
The reserve limit on our bike even surpasses the Pulsar220 bike !!!!

I thought all 2010 GS comes with Padmini and not Mikuni
. I have seen two 2010 GS with Padmini Carb. The interesting thing is that even the way Padmini is printed is same as Mikuni . So i presumed it to be a cost reduction(profit increasing) policy of Suzuki. Also the reserve capacity is different in new GS, I double checked manual and its printed as 3.5*L (approx, non calibrated)
Earlier you mentioned about removing catalytic converter, by removing it I think the exhaust note will change to a throaty one. A friend of mine said that GS sounds like a 4-stroke auto-rickshaw.
That flickering part is funny, when ever the bar flickers I panic as if the bike is going to stall anytime, even though there is still 1.5L.Last edited by Anupdas; 08-22-2010, 11:47 PM.Well-trained reflexes are quicker than luck.........Comment

@MACH50:
Congrats, you're probably the first person to try wheelie's and stoppie's on the GS150
I didnt think it would be possible to lift such a heavy bike and control it, guess i was wrong..
Did you do all this in the first gear itself ??
I dont think 2nd gear has enough torque for all these stunts.

Awesome stunt Mach Bhai. I second to Falcon, I too never thought we can do a power wheelie on our GS. You were revving with clutch fully pressed and suddenly releasing the clutch without reducing throttle, rite? I think its really difficult to stunt on GS as its weight is more on front, so we can do endies but fronties are real tough.
Let me say a suggestion, please do wear some protective gears and remove the rear mudguard before doing stunts.Well-trained reflexes are quicker than luck.........Comment

Its not padmini its MIKUNI only...
n yeah i too observed that acceleration is demonic....sometimes i dont realize that in 3rd gear when speed reaches 60 when flicking in city traffic.n yes i think rather than carb, engine is developed to greater extent.
gives better mileage, accel'n,
smoother shifts
firing sound is better than older
@ARISH
no one told you without knowledge, i own 2010 model. in manual its written as "Reserve capacity - 3.1lit"....

on my mileage figures, approx 60% of it, idrove on highways with 70+ {sometimes 80+}
but bike gives pleasure to me n my pocket toooo
