Yep. I keep it on the grab rail only, but you can store it in the seat as well.

Great Idea Dude! Will try it too, but i guess we need an extra key

Anyways! good idea! U got any other Good suggestions. Iam new to this bike. Got it before a day!!!

I keep the cable lock tied to the seat net on my bike and then lock it with the pillion grab rail.

And Shiraj bhai...........dont be so concerned about mileage on your new bike.The factory carb settings is tuned so that you get the required mileage during the run-in.
Apart from that,tips for mileage.
1.Switch off the engine whenever you are at traffic lights and wait for the green light.Don't keep idling at traffic lights,it wastes fuel.
2.Use of excessive clutch and brake decreases mileage.......so try to avoid it as much as possible.
3.Whenever you start the day with your bike,try always to warm up your vehicle before you move.In the morning,start the engine and keep it running for 2minutes atleast without any throttle.Then you can move off......for first 2-3kms ride @30-35kmph,then operate your bike normally.Make it a habit of doing this process daily and you would have a superbly performing and efficient bike.
4.Fast acceleration from rest wastes fuel.Avoid it unless and until its inevitable.
5.Always turn the fuel-cock to off position when the bike is not in use.
6.While Refueling,always turn the fuel-cock to off position and refill.
7.Try to park the bike under shade,away from the sunlight.Sunlight evaporates fuel.

Hope these helps.

Ya, I just tried to use the 'Contact us' link in the website to ask about the BA regulator replacement. I was unable to submit the query. It says some crap about the email ID. Very Irritating

Wow! Thanks for the useful tips bro! Much appreciated


But can i ride at 20-30 km because lot of traffic in my area. Will this reduce mileage. Say at 3rd and 4th gear without crossing 4.5K RPM

Here is my bike's Album! Plz check it out

Constant low speed is delirious to engine,it should be avoided.Ride like this,speed-up and slow down.Vary it instead.Use 2nd and 3rd gear to travel at 20-30kmph.High gears and low speeds wastes fuel.

Mach50, I tried to tune the carb, but when the bike has run say 10-15 kms, the idling settles at 1.6k. It is ok?

I think so.
it would be 1600rpm on well heated engine(caused due to prolonged riding and racing) and would be 1400rpm on start up after the engine is let to cool by turning it of after prolonged operation.

My bad lack i didn't get Gulf or Motul so i went with shell Advance fast trac which i will most probably change since not sure how good it is might even try Castrol power 1 If i get a genuine Pack.

@Mach that is not the case with me atleast my Engine RPM even when the engine is quite warm doesn't cross 1400 Ever.

Then your bike has no issues on the carb tune side its fine

help guys

hi guys can some one tell me will slingshot alloy suitable for gs150r with the same size of tire in gs150r.as my friend wants to change his gs alloys to slingshot alloys.

I have a query.
right now my ODO shows 1220kms...n i want to take my bike to hometown(Kolhapur) this Wednesday, which is 250km from Pune....one more is that up till wednesday ODO will be added by at least 160 km ...
Will it be all right to take the bike ...is shes suitable for long drives now????
Please replay GSpians ...

@ Adi
your RPM is normal only no need to bother

Go for shell and don't use the castrol power one its waste.

This morning left my GS for 4th service
I believe slingshot alloy wheels aren't be good for GS as the wheel is having slimmer spokes
And you have to sacrifice front diskbreak for it


seen slingshot at showroom today on photos it looks such crap but if you see it directly looks good that's the only muscular bike with in 125 cc it seems
Even petrol tank is not like GS its different and muscular
Speedo looks decent.

Front view is like a naked street bike

Let me try a test drive tomorrow

Thanks guys will look into it though sound of bike has become louder from last service.

@ adi
From where the sound comes from engine or silencer?

Just check it once after the oil change, Coz after changing to motul my engine is damn smooth and sound is cool.



With castrol (SVC) oil I would call the engine sound is like a roaring lion


If its engine akfara is our subject matter expert
If its somthing else we have our all rounded anup whozzz in break and will respond to you on pm.

@ Mihir

Even if the bike is fit its not good for a man to drive continually for 160 kms am sure you will take 15 mins break on ever 50 kms

That's enough for your GS to cool down say thanks to its jet cooling system

Don't drive in constant speed keep varriying up or down

Hope you already got all necessary stuffs for the long trip
+ extra tube
+ emergency puncture kit
+ dry fruits
+ snickers etc...
