[QUOTE=venuvinodks;529005]43 mileage is less man. somthing you need to check. How old is your Gsr? I think whatever the condition, you shoud atleast get 50. I have covered 2200 kmts and i am getting 55 plus consistently, which includes 60% highway

Its 8 days old but i have been facing this problem from day one.

you would better consult your dealer/service center at the earliest. and dont worry much for the initial hiccups. they will gradually reduce as you keep on covering more number of kmts on odo.

Today I tank fill to confirm my mileage,after reserve the bike Trip shows me 10.5km(which i pressed after i hitting reserve)..Went to CONFED(Pondycherry government owned petrol bunk But got a dealer arrangement with BP)..
It consume me 19.10ltr means add aprrox 3 ltr(reserve capacity) = 22.10ltr
I attached a pic...

All those gspians if your odometer reading is below 1500 please dont focus on mileage till you finish that run in kms

There are various reasons affects mileage apart from the golden screw

Where you fill petrol ? False reserve?

Today I got false reserve at 88.6 and 101.4 but actual reserve just came at 110kms on trip meter where I filled 2 litters

Cold idle at 1000rpm and warm between 1300 1400 rpm will help mileage

You filled petrol till the top of the tank ?? how, i thought some sensors i the equipment cut off the fuel before it reaches this level where its about to overflow.

anyway, 22 litres is nice, if i fill this much i will be able to ride for 2 months without having to refill my tank.


@Madhu: is there any specific situation where you get false reserves ? or does it happen on flat roads as well ?
For me 90% of false reserves are after coming down that flyover at richmond circle at KH road.
And i get these when i have about 1 or 1.5 litres left in main.

About the idling, my cold is 900 and warm goes to 1500(sometimes 1600), if i reduce the screw cold start would be a prob, but warm idle is high at the same time, any idea why its varying so much.

I filled at shell, vittal mallya road. Not a case of false reserve as the engine sputtered and died.Anyway will see till the first service.

@ falcon
I got false reserve on flat road and the engine sputtered and died on both false reserve occations !!!

After cut off the bunk men filled manually,the last 2 ltr takes 5 minutes bcos it will come up to brim level then go down ,then again, at one stage it will flow outside the tank and not go down level....we have to sure there is no waiting person in our back to fill petrol next, otherwise the filling person loose cool
...I will ride for another 200km or so then fill again...to calculate almost accurate mileage ....Right now cool temperature everywhere , so no need to worry about evaporation ....I too get false reserve many times MY SC told me to do this otherwise he told me to do a 200ml test.....
me too ride as u said ,ride it for 2 months,since here raining ,i use mostly My another SUZUKI BALENO for riding

[QUOTE=Adi_On_Wheels;528913]Hi Guys,
2. Occasional misfiring... not a major botheration though....still would like to get it solved......reported this in my 1st service....not solved.


Your fuel tank air vent may be blocked. Ask the SC mechanic to rectify it.

Dear Mach50,

I felicitate you for achieving a real constant speed of 126 kmph on the speedo of our GS. I once again congratulate you for exactly calculating the difference in the time taken to reach that speed by our bike and the Apache 160 RTR is 1 second and the maximum speed of the latter 160 cc bike is again exactly 0.1 km (100 meters) less than ours. Alas! Let him lag.

I hope you have used an indoor velodrome to check both the bikes and have ensured that the wind direction and its speed, thus its resistance, tyres used in both bikes, tyre inflation, depth of tyre tread, mass of your body, rate of acceleration etc. were one and the same. How did you record the starting and finishing time? It was a photo finish; I am sure. Unless it will be a bit difficult or merely impossible to find out that very slight difference. What instruments were used? Did you use the same speedometer on both bikes as there may be difference in the calibration of two different speedos?



Now I am more proud of selecting this bike, though the real reason was my Suzuki Fiero. My Fiero, after this 1,20,000 kms is still a trustable bike.



These simple questions may seem to be foolish to well experienced riders and they neglect it. These youngsters drag their bike to the service station to solve the imaginary problems and are sometimes financially exploited or laughed at. This kind of fellows are a problem to the mechanics too as they are unable to rectify the non-existing problems.

I am sure that there are many experienced bikers, engineers and engineering students who are capable to answer these simple doubts among us. I humbly request them to come forward to rectify such simple, honest doubts. It will be a great help.





Today is Eid. Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; ........ my Father, let my country awake.
Thank you for suffering me. Never follow others blindly. All the best.

Dear vishnu,

The speedometer stuff is connected to the sprocket not exactly on the wheel I didn't remember the page number but some one posted those pictures

I defer from your view on eco pwr and god mode please check the messages posted by shivakumar in this thread.

engine oil level increasing I posted it on engine oil thread

I posted the following query on engine oil thread, also posting hear to know if any one faced the same issue already and if you know the fix please do let me know

_______________________

Guys got my gs150r serviced two weeks back service guys put servo 20w-40

I used to check oil level at least three days once

Now the issue is I found the oil level is increasing day by day.

This may sounds strange.

I think oil is looseing viscosity but withstanding the temperature thats why its not getting evoprating, thus quantity is increasing

Does my assumption is right ?

Do I have to change oil ?

Oil level can only decrease, never increase, my friend!
Please check it again when the vehicle engine is cold, and keep it upright. That will give you the accurate measurement.

These are street bikes and they are meant for riding to normal customers and not factory racers.A bike's performance is ascertained in stock conditions and to us,the daily riders,the only parameter that matters is how the bike performs for its owner.I have seen five different magazines quoting five different figures only to discover that most of the magazines didn't push the GS150R above 9000rpm.The top speed according to my own calculation was achieved in fifth gear with the bike redlining at 9900rpm+/-100rpm.
So,the figures were done according to stock specifications,
The highest Apache speedo was showing that day 130kmph,GS150R was showing 125kmph ,RTR reaches the speed faster.We used the GPS to record our land speeds,where from the data we received that the GS150R has topped out at 119kmph and the RTR at 118.9kmph.And to shock you more,I was the heavier of the riders.My weight then was 75.4kg,the person on the Apache was 64.7 kg.
So,the speedometer speed was not what we were vouching for,and as I said stock speedometer were used on respective bikes.
No,my GS150R never won the Drag race against RTR,and with 149kg and lesser bhp(lesser power to weight),it never will(unless the person dragging the RTR is absolute lemon),but it did register at par top speed(i neglect the 0.1kmph difference) is a fact I can't honestly throw away......and that too without my fingers numbing up or the my body aching.

Rear wheel located sensor the term I used is for common or layman......but you seem to have a taste for engineering terms....
Hence have it your way,
The sensor is located on the driving sprocket,located in the mid section of the bike.
Here are the pictures to substantiate it,

hey guys,
my GS is almost a month old, will be giving it for 1st service this weekend. 300+ kms done, and 3 times(it was my first time riding a bike :P),so the crash guard and brske and clutch levers are scratched, not much damage, cos i was going at 10-15 kmph on an empty road :P no damage was done to the body of the bike, though the part of the headlight was slightly scratched, im facing some, issues with the bike,
firstly, the gears are not hitting properly, even if i hold the clutch completely and try shifting gears it doesnt fall propperly, and when it does, it make a really loud "TACK" sound, finding first gear makes me take atleast a minute!! i need to keep shifting to zero and back until it shows "1" on the gear indicator!!
Secondly, the bike starts shaking after 50 kms, i dunno why, i havent gone above 55 kmph on the bike, cos its still in run in!
also, the bike keeps stopping when i try to warm up the engine in the morning!!
could these problems be because of the falls? or is it just with the bike?
yea, and im new to bikes, cos no one in my family has a bike, so i had to learn on this only, and whenever im in any gear, and i accelerate to about 4k rpm, and then let the rpm come down to like 2.5-3k, and accelerate again, i feel the bike pulling me with a jerk!! is this normal? am i doing something wrong?
would like to get some help, thanks in advance!!
