Hi gspians. I have read everywhere about the buttersmoothness of gs gears but i found that in my bike only upshifting is smooth and not the downshifting. Specially when i step down from 3 to 2 i have to really press hard for shifting. My bike is just 2 weeks old and has completed 300km. Anybody with same experience..

Lol dude im sorry but u r information is wrong, we have a 68k GS 150 r.. not a 6L gixxer/ 14L hayabusa.. they wont do the engine mapping on this engine !..

But the modes does regulate A/F mixture pattern introduced in the engine.
It also controls rev limiter.

In ECO mode:the bike has a lot of low-end torque,the sixth gear can be shifted at 4000rpms only in this mode,without the bike feeling wrong.

In PWR mode:some good mid-range torque,fast pick-up like Zma but Top end is lost.

In GOD mode:well I am the boss,I shift it at 8500 rpms when I need to do some very quick 0-100kmph,bike shoots to 120kmph and does the 127kmph with ease.It then feels normal,no or less low end torque,punchy midrange,truckloads of top end power,revs till 10,000rpm with ease,rev limiter then ticks in.Nature is too much like the R15,only on a bit easier and comfortable side.

There is really some mode magic in this bike.

At,68K,you get,
SJCS-Suzuki Jet Cooling System (advanced air cooled engine)
6th gear-how many air-cooled 2V 150s have six cogs???
Gear indicator-I think only Suzuki bikes in India have it !!!
Vibration reducing harness-Superb touring ability.
XTP-the technology emblazoned on the Bandit,Hayabusa,Bking,check them out in flesh to know.
Biggest metal Fuel tank in the 150cc category.

Do you still doubt that the Mode facility is nothing more than a Rpm shift indicator just because this is a 68K bike???? !!!!!!!

few of those features would also be found on the 1Lac+ R15
and most of those features would be found on the 12.5Lac HayaBusa or the 9.5lac Bandit.

No second thought close your eyes and buy that motul 1 litter

Ok..whats that figure called 4000T , 3000T.....Which one of motul should i opt for?

an our back on whitefield road, I was not traveling too fast some where in 40 or 50 kms speed,
but their was a car going in front of me and am not tailgating it (previous time experience)

the dog crossed the car and comes standstill in front of my bike their are cars and bikes following me so keeping that in mind didn't applied breaks....

Dog got hit and ran away, i put both my legs on ground so as to balance the bike as its going uncontrollable due to the sudden impact as a result got a bent in gear leaver and break leaver left scratch marks on right leg

did set the gear leaver back to original position

::: Thank god once again ::::

Yes Thank God ... Its all happening week for you..take care on coming weeks too...just a query is that white field road is that much crowded.????? ....I use to roam that road in 1988 to 1994(in my KB RTZ from 1991) due to my college in channa chandra(hope farm) My last visit is with family in 2004 to see the college.....in car after marthahalli the traffic is less...Heard that lot of changes after that ....
Plan to come(not sure) on dec 26,27 for our alumni meet at hoskote
:: Emerald Isle Hotel & Resort ::
If i come i will meet you

I used 3000 4T Plus 20W40 and its good for GS150R so thats my Rx for you

Ok decided to buy MOTUL 3000 4T plus 20w40 1litre. Is this easily available in most automobile shop or getting it is difficult? And whats the cost of it ?


I read your story, thank god nothing serious happened.You did the right thing,never apply sudden break in gsr escpecially the front ones..you will be just thrown from the bike either to left or right..i have bad experiences doing that. Once in Mysore road BHEL signal it was too slow traffic i was moving below 10Kmph in signal. The car front of me also was also slow below 10kmph stopped suddenly.I avoided contact with the back of car by sudden brake, the next thing was i was fallen down towards left...The road was sandy though
