The culprit is the wind screen. Not the wind screen nuts but the alignment is making annoying vibration and noise. If you re-adjust the screws, this will begin at another speed point. This is one of the problems I have noted down to ask about to the Suzuki engineers visiting my sc for 3 days from the 15th of next month. Hope they will show a solution.
To ensure it ride the bike without the wind screen and if still there is the annoyance, try pasting 3 pieces of thick tapes, covering the whole distance between the holes for the nuts and refit the windscreen. That will do.

Brother i am using Opera 10 its good and faster than IE

Sooraj, the actual case is not the oil. when you get more familiarised with the gear changing, everything will be OK.

Regarding 6th gear

Hey guys you all say that 6th gear is an overdrive. What does overdrive means? Why the 6th gear is for? We can drive in 6th gear at the speed of 40 without any knocking. What does it means. I had thought that 6th gear will only be useful on highways when we will have to drive too fast but as i found on one site the bikes top speed is on 5th gear and not on the 6th gear. Is it the same in other 6 gear bikes. Could anybody explain this to me? Also which one should i go for driving at speed of 40 in 4th or in 6th as far as mileage and engine is concerned.

Thank you for your kind suggestion, Madhu. Using IE because I am new with computer and brousers. Surely shall do after a short while.

@ Vishnu

By readjusting did you mean to tighten the screws a little one by one. I have a large roll of two side tapes, how about sticking that, along the lining .

@ Madhu Bhai

Please not baba again. So this noise can be generalized to all. Now I'm feeling a little happy

@ Sooraj

I think no one has tried Power 1, do give us feedback about it.

Mine has been running on Motul 3000T for 2100 kms now, its still running fine. Earlier when I was running with S.C oil it was very rough after 1000 kms. The oils I tried so far Castrol Active & Motul 3000T. Motul is worlds apart from the rest.

Today I went for a trip with friends to a waterfall(Athirapilly Vazhachal, the waterfall pictorized in Raavan) a round trip of 200 kms. Frankly saying I enjoyed the ride to waterfall than the mesmerizing natural beauty. The road is like a MotoGP circuit, twisted like a snake. Air temperature was low and engine was so free revving. Did any one notice, engine is butter smooth when the air temp is low.

A friend of mine decided to go for GS after seeing me confidently riding(ripping) in the twisty road. He asked for a ride and I happily handed the bike. He was impressed with the mid range speed and the stability of bike. Many other friends were interested in digital console and some even asked how come they haven't heard about his bike. Another great testimony for our GS.

About the rpm meter

It may sound like a foolish question but still an incident made me to ask this. Few days before my dad asked me why is that rpm meter for. I only knew the full form so told that it gives rounds per minute of the tyre. Then he said what to do by knowing that and i was blank.
Seriously why the rpm meter is given i mean in bikes below 150cc they dont provide it. Still we manage to do everything like gear changing and all. I know in our bike we change gear above 4.5 rpm and about cold and hot idling and all but is it seriously needed. Please correct me..

In other words give some time for the bike to get synchronized with the way you drive

yeah thats true

i would thank suzuki for giving us a bike with 6 gears at this cost [rest of the 6 gear bikes are costly]
6 th gear will give you a comfort cruze feel even if yo use it at 45 kmph

RPM Stands for Revolutions per minutes: rate of revolution of a motor; "egg sample: the engine was doing 4500 revs

its not as hard as IE its easier you can try anytime
okay from now on we can use bhai bhai no babaism

yeah the noise can be generalised to all those who got the headlamp tuned by SVC

An overdrive is a gear in which the transmission is rotating faster than engine. In first gear one need to rev hard to move the bike a little but with greater torque. As it moves to top gear the gearing ratios reduce and at one stage it will reduce than the engine speed.


At top gear the torque available to accelerate is less, the above statement shows that GS has ample torque to ride as low as 40 Kmph without knocking(stressing) the engine. So it ought to have more torque in lower gears.

If the road is almost flat we can cruise in top gear at low speeds even below 40. But in that state you have minimum control as we cant accelerate and avoid something. I dont agree to statement that true top speed is found in 5th.

More number of gears can be seen as an engine with narrow power band, which produces max torque. More gears means the engine rpm can always be kept in its power band. The more wide the power band is the fewer gears we require. This can be seen if we see gearing ratios of super bikes and cruiser bikes.

About the mileage, I think an engine delivers maximum efficiency when its not stressed that is in proper gear if we are varying speed , and in top gear when its in constant speed.

I hope you got a small idea about the concept.

All performance vehicles are provided with tacho meter. A tacho meter can help an amateur to perfect his gear shifting techniques. Ideally there is only one spot to shift gear. With tacho meter everyone can go for it. So with a tacho meter engine performance can be generalized. Like manufacturer can ask not to rev more than some X rpm for this much time or maximum torque is at Y rpm etc.

Lower CC bikes are always made for basic commuting needs and pricing is a very important factor in that segment.


PS: No more bhai or baba, lets have a flat hierarchy .

@Anupbhai you rock man thanx.
@Madhubhai thanx

Suzuki the choice of my next gen

youngest one to drive the beast.

see the happiness of this young guy who drives this gs beast.

thats my 2 years old kid

@ mayur2j

Anup will cry man, no more Bh** or ba**

Vishnukmd has been using this oil for some time now..

May be you should arrange a trip to Nelliyampathy too, after booking rooms in some resort there..

But Thrissur => Palakkad road will be a tough job with massive craters in the road.

I totally forgot it. Anyway it will be better to know feed backs of many. When many are giving recommendation, we can arrive to a conclusion. Like Motul & Gulf Pride.



Thanks for your suggestion bro... Actually my home is near to NH so craters are no big issue. But it will delay our ride .

Can we trust on local mechanics or is it mandatory to go to SC to whenevr to sort issues ?

For minor issues that doesn't require to open major components them you can try a trustable local mechanic, else go to authorised service center.
