          After Doing A long Resarch of almost 3 months on Xbhp,

          I Finally Came to a conclusion of booking Suzuki GS150R

          I will like to share my experience with you guys..from the movement of booking the bike.

          Forgive me for any mistakes. As i am writing this for first time.

          And booked in yesterday... Will get the delivery tommarow..

          Before Booking this bike i Had Many other Bikes in mind

          Pulsar 150 : Very Odd, you can 8 out 10 on road. and again read about some engine issues.

          HH CBZ X : i dint like the bike at all, the classic was awsome. and this new one is a complete desgin disaster (Sorry Personal Opinion)

          HH Hunk : Never Thaught of this bike .

          Honda unicorn : This was on the top list, but the waiting period and same old boring look.

          So finally came up with decesion of buying a Suzuki GS150R. As one of the best console, 6 gears, and refined engine..

          Where the plus points..

          On saturday went to the showroom for the test ride and service guy allowed me to take a test ride of almost 10 kms ...

          Was very happy with the test ride...

          Told him will come tommarow and book it, but the guy was like do it now sir we have a scheme..but finally came back without booking..

          When i Went Yesterday for booking, again i took the bike for test ride and was totally in love with this beauty..
          Came back from ride and ask the guy for any scheme.. the guy said will give you the insurance and seat cover free...
          I thaught will strech this guy a little bit and then he said will give you teflon coating free...i asked him to right down what all accessories you have. he gave me a list of 5 items. I told hi if you can give me all this free. I will book it right away...so he went to manager and came back and agreed for the same,

          Things which I am getting free are :

          1. Insurance.
          2. Seat Cover.
          3. Teflon Coating.
          4. hand Grip.
          5. Buzzer.
          6. Suzki Logo : Dont Know What It Is !!!?? BUt its free

          Will get the bike tommarow after passing.

          the color is orange and black. and the on road price was approx 66700 after deducting insurance....

          Will definetly post the pics once got the delivery...

          Thanks for your help Guys...

          If you can please let me know what all things should i check at the time of delivery.. will be great ???

          Thanks a lot again..............

                im not sure what makes this problem. but im getting some sound like (kala kala kala ) hope you can understand.

                my bike is looked for issues under direct supervision of South regional manager and he advised that some prob in bore and it should be replaced. just now spoke the svc guys and they are doing my bike only with utmost care . will get mostly today evening or tomorrow will update on the exact picture when i meet them.

                    Are you sure is the petrol you are using is quantity wise fine

                    My GS Settings (its 2009 model)
                    Golden Screw = 3.25 turns from extreme close (0.75 than factory default {2.5})
                    My Warm engine idle = 1200 RPM
                    Cold start idle = 900 *this is everyday first kick start early morning
                    cold engine idle = 1000 RPM

                    **********************

                    i believe default factory settings is this

                    Golden Screw = 2.5 turns from Extreme close
                    Idle 1400 to 1500 Rpm

                    @ Arish

                    thats true more over their are several other factors impacting mileage such as engine oil, petrol steelers in bunks, and how you calculate the mileage (am using Reserve to Reserve trip meter reset)

                    Actually even i have doubts about the correct settings @rskk i think you should try 3.25 Anticlockwise from Lock since i think who have 09 model this works well for them for 2010 Model i think Mach50 uses 3.75 Anti clockwise direction don't know if they are right or wrong. Correct me if i am wrong guys.

                    Any way I am taking my baby to SVC soon the knocking noise is very irritating will get it fixed this time for sure since suzuki guy called me up.


                    @akfara is the sound too loud? rajesh yours is also 2009 model right? Any body who had this problem in 2010 model since i only have some kind of knocking sound and i think it needs some kind of tappet adjustment that all. but the piston replacement looks as if they really found something wrong with 09 model which caused issues?

                            Bcos My service center is SuB dealer they don't have facility to change bore and piston
                            So If u pass this message to him, he will remember me and Call My Main dealer at pondycherry to check(to take the bike to pondy) my bike(for the past 5 months i am living with this sound) I thought it needs tappet adjustment...which my mech did...but sound still persists even after oil change(this time changed GULF pride 4T plus to MOBIL SUPER 4T 20w 40 which is good for 3000km reported my SC here)
                            But GULF 4T still in Red color not lost its viscosity even after 2500km

                              Hey buddy, if you meet him can you ask him if all the 09 bikes have this problem.. and ask him specifics of what causes this problem too..
                              (since i'm not sure if my bike has a knocking problem or its just that low tone royal enfield sound which is characteristic of GS150, like how MACH50 had stated)

                              If they conduct a recall, then it'll be easier for all of us, otherwise each one of us will have to separately give a complaint and wait for their response.

                              And if possible tell him that quite a few people with 09 model experience this engine roughness after riding continuously for more than 7kms.
                              He might still remember me by name, since i had spoken to him quite a lot during the free service camp, (i was bugging him with the issues like rust and headlight actually)

                                Yes loud after 4km ride ......it was found only in certain batches of 2009 like the rust issues...Not in all bikes of 2009...
                                The faulty bore is expanding in Heat(aluminium) and causing such noise...this is my thought...
