    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...
    you got me wrong buddy...
    i was telling about these 5 days from today till wednesday(if they matter ) that i ll cover 160km in these days
    yes i ll have those things with me...

    Main concern to ask this was, there is a ghat section in way n its very steep one..(Khambataki if anyone knows NH4)

            Wheelie is actually possbily in GS. Hope you watched Mach50's video on that. Also When I was smoking a fazer on mount road, Chennai. To my surprise, wheelie did happen [~70 kmph, raised to 7K - 8.5K rpm, 5th gear]... Its so gr8 to feel the power at 8K rpm.... so it is possible.

                I think u got GS 2009 model(no dual color right?) in 2010 year....like rust issues for 2009 models for certain bikes....We have some problem in engine part(may be piston,bore) for which dealers is yet to answer it....Some of guys changed bore and piston in kerala get again that louder,Bad noise in engine after certain KM (for me its 6km onwards)...I called MY Main SC 140km away,he told gave ur bike to SUB SC mech,he will drive to main SC(140km)...I don't know what they will do without my presence...My main thought is should change to 2010 model bore and piston instead of 2009 models which some sets(bore,piston) have problem

                Hi madhu bhai ....I am not expert in engine sound but ...having problem like adi... ..Even mileage too same like him but below 50kmpl(47 to49)..
                Manfacture like suzuki should not treat a customer Like not answering their queries and addressing problem...
                Got a irresponsible reply from South head Suzuki while i call in phone("why u called us go and ask ur main dealer") If dealer addess our problem why we need to call direct manufacture's
                There is a column(help to find solution) in AUTO CAR INDIA for which they(autocar) helps its subscriber only ..by sending letter behalf US to manufacture's(I saw mostly for Cars they do..not sure for bikes)...
                I know people who happy with bikes in performance and mileage will find same situation like USwhen goes to dealer(depend on dealer type)
                What we Need is SPECIAL CAMP with proper attention .... Will SUZUKI will Addess it??????

                    • well akfara i have 2010 model dual tone since i requested for that only when i bought it even though Mileage is not a big issue since i feel a little bit of carb tune and i will be good to go. But sound is very much there but after putting in Shell it has decreased a bit but above 70KM/h the sound gets louder. I am thinking of tuning my bike again and will showcase it to my local mechanic.

                      @Augustine i know about that thread the guy is no more a distributor actually now so that is the big issue.

                      • use Motul

                        Hi adi
                        if the bike is creating noise please use good oil for your bike...
                        go for Motul 3000 4t Plus very good oil and you will feel the difference...
                        I also use the same and do change your oil on time...
                        my bike is butter smooth and some times i feel there is no noice at all from ma bike...
                        regarding milage GS is really gd i never tuned ma carb as i m getting gd milage from starting ..
                        ma bike clocked 4500km on odo and milage i m getting is 62Km/ltr..

                        cheers,
                        Kiran...

                        • @Kiran man this time i was really searching hard for Motul but couldn't find any dealers so had to settle for shell. I wanted to try Motul since everyone has been recommending it. Also my mileage figures are disappointing for me personally because i am driving on 90% highways and getting 51Kmpl which would have been gr8 if driving in cities even though it is ok but considering that people post so many gr8 mileages that too on City road i feel a bit bad lol :P

                          Edit: I have personally done 5.8K kms in less than 3 months talk about riding. And shell has made some difference the pickup is uber cool even better than gulf and also the throttle response is pin point. I was afraid since when i gave it to the mechanic he told shell is worst oil but since i bought it had to use it and since no other option was there a little bit scared. The mechanic told engine will go down and power etc contrary to that it was actually good in overall pick up.

                              @ Adi

                              Even I did said the same thing
                              Just try changing the oil

                              More over your driving is typically highway and the average speed is around 70 kmph
                              so normal recomended oil change frequence doesn't fit

                              if oil change fixes your issue then try changing oil by every 1000 kms max.



                              @ akfara just seen simptoms of rust on my tank neck have to inspect again on nov if it grows will ask for replacement

                              my GS is 2009 model bought on feb 2010

                              @ mach50

                              This morning bring back my sted from service
                              Cold idle is 900 to 1000 rpm it doesn't stop
                              Warm is 1100 rpm

                              After 15 kms travel its still at 1100 rpm or 1200 rpm
                              Is that normal or tooo low

                              By the way my 4th service cost is nil
                              Sarcasm is my automatic response to stupidity

                              • @MSN1 i drive at around 60km/h not more at times speed testing a bit.

                                Edit: MSN it is actually good since you will get lower engine noise in standstill position i had literally the same setting after my service and it was so nice but after few days it will come back to 1300 RPM. Till then no issues
