++150...
I too did my first tuning few days ago and the results are exactly same...
BTW mine is a 2010 model...will be giving for second service on 25/10....
hope SC solves this issue..fingers crossed..
_________
odo reading:2300kms
top speed achieved:123kmph
mileage:40kmpl...guys any suggestions to get good average???
And what all should i look out for in second service?
Thanks....

My current setting is 2.75 turns from lock position, i tried making the fuel screw 2.25 to 3, but the results are the same at all these three settings..

Anyway, is there any other reason which can cause this ? (i dont think i've damaged the screw's threads because i was careful while tuning)
Can any air leaks cause this, because the carb was overhauled by the SC too, they might not have fixed it properly after servicing.


lol, looks like most of us who tried tuning the carb ended up making it worse.

Where do you fill petrol anyway, 40 is kinda less, i guess you should first try changing bunks before tuning the bike for bad mileage.

friends again i got the grinding sort of noise from my bike even after i changed the cylinder n piston..

and also getting some sort of friction sound.. like something is touching the tyre.. or some boulders put inside the engine..

can any one tell me whats wrong with my bike .. and how to fix this issue..

Mileage

Hi Guys... Im planning to buy a bike. I may buy the much talked abt Suzuki Gs150R. just wanted to kow its handling in traffic and handling on highways.. Is it smooth? Also, what is the mileage u guys are getting from ur GS150? pls help me decide...

My dear mumbai gspians can able to tell you howzzz it in city. Coz all city aren't like the city you belong to each city has its own style of traffic and riding conditions

Handling in Highway is ultimate. GS is great in highway long rides, you won't feel tierdness or pain.

If you handle it smoothly then it will be smooth. If you rev hard its hard, any bike is like that only smoothness all depends on how you handle it
I have a friend who says his dads 15 yrs enfield is still smooth.

GS150R is a calm nice cool guy, but if you distrub him he will shout back just like you
Mileage may vary according to riding condition, drivers mood, driving style and driver + pillon riders weight.

Mileage :

# if driven in very bad condition or rev hard driving 39 to 45 kmpl.

# unpredictable if you are relaying on a petrol bunk owned by thiefs.

# under normal city riding condition for a plysically and mentally normal guy 50 to 56 kmpl. ( My luck Thrice I got 62 kmpl in city)

On too much of traffic have to drive like crawlling tthem the mileage is between 45 to 52 kmpl

# on long rides not lesser than 58 and average 60 kmpl

Feel it try a test drive and don't just look for the dealer close to your place, look for a dealer who provides good service.

need help

hi guys. done wirh the first service.
so far it is good. but there are some problems. i will like to discuss and need your expert suggestions.

1. had a problem of false neutral. told the service guys. what i noticed after service was. the first gear needs a lot more efffort to shidt now.... like they have tightned the gear screw or something like that. and after 2 days same false neutral problem.

2. at times when i start the bike. the bike just turns off. if i dnt accelarate. once when i tried starting the bike without accelaration. it just turned off 4 timea and on the fifth time it was ohk.

3. the bike ia very smooth and in morning starts in one kick. but if you drive for more than say 15km continuesly. the bike makes a bit more sound. and sounds louder than intial sound.

4. i got my bike serviced two days ago
i dnt have any idea about oil. can u please sufgest me a oil. and shud i wait for next service for oil change. or go ahead for oil change before it. my odo is 1210 km.

waiting fot your valuable feedback....

I have done 1200km on my bike, got 1st service done at 1K. I have noticed that after the 1st service the engine is making more noise than before, especially after driving 30-40kms, the noise of the engine is very high. Can anyone tell me the reason for the same?

@MSN
Yes i didnt change oil since first service, but changing oil on our own will void the warranty rite? . . And oil has something to do with gearing? This sound is actually not consistent. sometimes it comes sometimes it doesnt. and what oil from shell any specific?

After how many KMs you done your first service?
suppose it's 1K km then too SVC oil loose it's all charateristics after 1K Km.. and you done almost 1.3K, and oil performs a major role in your engine and gear smoothness.............. you can change oil from outside or if you do not know much then you can go to service center and change the oil and then let us know the difference....
and do change oil on regular interval oil is the soul og your bike engin and gearbox....

cheers,
Kiran...

my answers

@ Bikelover,
Bike sound is normal at this time (below 1800 kms) change oil at 1500 kms

Go to local mechanic tell him to oil and check the chain also oil the gear leaver(pedal)

Ask your local mechanic to check the idle speed as that's causing the bike stops during initial start
Idle. Adjustment should be make sure the idle Rpm above 1000 and warm rpm at 1400 or 1300

If the sound really annoying you then change to motul 3000 plus 20W-40 mineral or gulf 20W-40 or shell 20W-40 (@ sumitdey1, this is applicable for you also

@ Shrikky

Our manual recommends the grade 20W-40 but suzuki didn't recommended any specific oil, changing oil doesn't void warranty

Am changing oil on own and even told my dealer not to change oil

@ all new Gspians most of your so called sound and gear changing or false neutral issues are caused by castrol or the cheap oil used by service center.

Initially your bike was good before first service because it came with the factory filled oil.

My humble suggestion is not to count the mileage till you hit the 2000 k on odo. Coz that's the minimum period for your GS to settle down.

Don't go for castrol or veedol or mac

Try gulf, motul, shell.

Never go for semi or full synthetic oil till you cross 8000k on odo

Minor external adjustment issues can be dealth with local mechanic for any thing which deals with engine or major issues don't hesitate to kick the dealer till he fixes it.

Am filling in shell from past one month[collecting those ferraris]...
I normally fill for 350inr=5.99ltrs....
calculated reserve to reserve--->240kms[40kmpl]

@MSN:
Am going for service on monday..svc guys fill castrol,so i'll be able to use motul only till i complete all free services..last time when i enquired abt motul they were like its not recommended..

Come on man any bike any dealer will tell the same as its there piece of cake, just act innocent in front of them and use motul. I started using deferent oils from 1400kms onwards , and my paid service is going to starts on 2nd november.

Poor mileage

I am getting mileage 40 kmpl (approx.)

I am done 1200 km on this bike. Before first service, It was giving 45kmpl (approx). I thought after first service it will rise to atleast 50 but WTF!!!!

Guyz please help stretching run in a litre.

There are so many factors playing vital role in fuel consumption.

Answers are there in the previous 2 or 3 pages.

First 2000kms is the settling period for the bike so forget mileage tuning for the timebeing.
