This surely looks like a tuning issue for me or a block in the air filter

.

Usually if you are riding below 60 Kmph you are bound to get a mileage above 50. As soon as you reach around 800 go to your dealer and ask them to tune your carburetor and check the air filter.

what you said about Shell advanced fast track oil was true

here is my first 50 kms report

>> gear changing cant happen with out sound (its not butter smooth) but its not rough can be called as stiff.

>> one who used motul will feel unhappy with this shell variant as even engine sound and behavior is bit stiff

let me see how it settle down after 100 kms

I think i should shift to motul soon. I'm using shell advance S, its worse than fast trac also, the engine sound is more loud, gears are less smooth compared to fast trac, i regret putting this oil now

I should have gone for motul 5100 or atleast 3000t.

And do you have any suggestions about my idling problem ?
Here is what i noticed today, After riding the bike for 7-8 kms, if i keep the bike in neutral gear at signal without switching off, here is what happens, the idling will initially be at 1500, after 10 seconds it comes to around 1300, and after another 10 seconds it reduces to 1100. This problem is really annoying because i cant even set the idling screw with so much variations.

Go for the Motul 3000T Plus 20W - 40

for me idling at traffic jam starts at 1100 and comes down to max 1100 rpm
on cold start it starts at 1100 and if i didn't touch the throttle it goes down to 900 then 800 kaput

your SVC is just few kms away just ask them to set it because the fluctuation said by you doesn't sounds good for you to try it out.

before that lets see what our masterji anup shab says

guys somebody post the teaser video of Suzuki i am waiting to see it

**SriKi.GSpian** · 11-18-2010, 10:51 PM

am planning to do a handle bar modification....pls all senior members suggest me as to which bike's handlebar will be best suited for GS150R !! i prefer 2piece handlebar..please post your views!!

I faced this exact behavior when I ride with choke engaged(accidentally).
1). engine rpm will always fluctuate irrespective of idling screw position.
2). bike jerks whenever we give acceleration.
3). its almost impossible to start the bike without self starter.
4). when we release the accelerator after revving, engine rpm will reduce very slowly.
If you have these symptoms check the choke condition or check your carb golden screw(richer side).

Frankly saying I think its a bad idea to change the handle bar

. The riding ergonomics will change if you modify it. The riding position of GS is upright and 2 piece handles are short and make you lean to front and the riding comfort will be gone.

It will be difficult to maneuver in city riding conditions. Secondly all the wires will need to be readjusted

. It will be a waste of money and time.

Got my bike after third service today.

The ride is smooth with less engine sound. This is normal when you get the bike after service. Have to see how it goes after couple of days. Left indicator was not working, got it replaced free of charge.

The svc guy told me that i can bring any engine oil and they would use that but i was unable to give them as i coudnt find Motul in any automobile shop in vijayanagar, so had to stick with their oil itself(castrol). For next service i would somehow get Motul and tell them to use that for my bike.

I filled full tank petrol today in shell, i was running in reserve since couple of days. I guess there was about 1 litre approx in reserve. Filled it till tank lock portion coudnt put more petrol as it was the max

. The total petrol filled was 20.85 litres. which means the tank capacity is atleast 22.5 litres as mentioned by someone earlier in this thread.

Will ride about 150 Kms and then fill petrol again till Brim level..this would give very accurate Milaege.

[This method would give accurate milaege compared to all other methods.]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR quick reply anup bhai!! and one more question:
does fitting K&N R1060 in gs decrease its mileage???if so by how much as am getting only 35 km/ltr..!!

**Anupdas** · 11-18-2010, 11:36 PM

@GS150R

Bike feels really good after the first service(I still remember mine). But I think you wont get an accurate reading if you fill the tank to brink level. First of all with 20L, the bike feels sluggish with its own weight. While riding we can feel like a child is sitting on the tank.

If you happen to keep bike in sun, you will loose petrol by vaporization. Your bike is still in its running period, dont mind about mileage as of now. If you want to find the accurate mileage you need to do the can test from service centre.

Now that first and critical service is over you can give occasional bursts of acceleration and have some fun

.

I complained about this problem while giving bike for the last 2 services, they just write "idle rpm variation" on that sheet, but do nothing about it, i think they just try adjusting the idle screw and give it back.

If you have these symptoms check the choke condition or check your carb golden screw(richer side).

I haven't used the choke in a long time, but this problem started appearing after the SC did a so called "carb overhauling". i guess they had disconnected the carb and opened it to clean it, but while putting it back together they must have messed up the choke engaging system or something like that..

Regarding the points you mentioned, the first two points i definitely experience everyday, but i dont recall the last time i used kick starter, so cant comment on that, i'll try that revving and leaving the throttle thing to see it comes down slowly.
The golden screw i've adjusted from 2.25 to 2.75 turns, there wasnt much effect, so i guess it must be related to choke only.

Any idea if the choke system can be adjusted or tuned, or it has to be replaced ?? (replacing things is a headache, because without mailing suzuki, the SCs never do anything !)

Sorry bro I don't know much about these high flow air filters. If you can find a person who can up jet and tune your carb well you can try with K&N.

But by reading many experiences in our forum itself very few are actually happy after adding K&N and most of them got frustrated with its downside. The high flow filters will allow more air to the cylinder, that means more fuel can be provided and the power output will increase. But you need a professional for tuning it.

BTW wats your ODO reading? 35 is kind of low average for GS

? Are you redlining in every gear

?

6500 odd kms bro..!! no..i shift gears correctly at 4.5 rpm..ie:16(1st gear),28,36,46,52,60 till(6th gear) !! and i get only 30 to 35 km/ltr..have checked it many times...very disgusted and i too planned of selling my beast just for the sake of sudden drop in mileage

Dont go for high flow air filters....if you really want power then along with free flow fiilter you'll have to up jet the carb and put some other can.....this will increase your budget....and regarding mileage....thats a serious issue....just 35.....do you often cross 100 mark or make some sprint or hard braking or hard acceleration etcetc......well these are some of few things one should avoid if he wants mileage....drive at 45-50 in 5th gear......you'll be surprised about the mileage you are getting....even if its below 50 then carb tuning is must!!!!!

thnx so much for your quick response!! ..no i do ride too fast and the oly solution for this which i think of is to go to SC n have my carburettor checked and do the co test for the bike..!! there is tank rusting,vibrations,roughness...!! am very confused!!
