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..

Yes, the rpm meter is needed. It was there in my Caliber115 as well, and found it very helpful. Once you get into technical riding, and not just riding for the sake of it, you will appreciate the tachometer. See how the machine responds when you change gears at 3.5-4.5-5.5-6-7k rpm. See how it jumps once you start changing gears at higher rpms, and how the downshifts at 2.5krpm are much smoother than that at 3.5k! In fact, in the city I mostly ride by the tachometer, and only in highways do I cruise by the speedometer.

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

@ Sooraj

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

Yes; but tightening one, then loosening the other one, then tightening or loosening the third, until you get the ultimate result. That is why I said it is a difficult job. Needs much patience and time. The sc mechanics also are helpless.

Stick 3 pieces of thick tape between the nut holes along the panel and refit the wind screen. This will do.

Feels nostalgic. Better is to remain a child.

I have used power 1 for 1 lack kms in my Fiero. My daily journey was arount 100 kms. Now using it in both of my bikes. I used to change it in every 3000 kms, together with the filter. The Fiero has covered 1.2 lacks. The engine remains intact. I have not even opened it. Not even a screw of its engine is replaced. Remains virgin. Fiero is a legend though it was a failure in the market. A test ride with a pillion, with 100 ml of fuel gave me a result of a 7.9 kms, i.e 79 kml with pillion, in a speed range of 50-55 kmh. I still use it occasionally.

One more word. Do a mere change in the colour of the oil denote that it became useless? As of the viscosity, how can we check it? What instruments have us to check the viscosity of the oil. We have so many concepts about so many matters, which we are not ready to change. Some say a disk brake in the left side is good; some say it in the right side is good. Someone waits to reach 60 kmh range to shift to 6th gear; someone else do it at 40 kmh. I always do it at 30 kmh orif not possible, limit my speed below 4500 rpm. We cannot convince others.

All engine oil of the same viscosity is almost the same. The additives added may slightly differ but all of them will do the main functions such as lubricating, preventing corrosion, preventing overheating etc. in that sense, the cheapest is the best.

As Fiero, GS also is a failure in the market. I do seldom see them on the road. I think Suzuki is not interested in selling their products.

If you have fully read this posting I will gladly recommend your name for the next Nobel prise.

)...I did as he told and there is no vibration from visor since this pulsar screws are better than our OEM

..Its come with rubber washer as our OEM
@anup replace the screw and rubber bush with Pulsar Visor OEM and tell ur experience ...and its cheap too

+1 to pulsar visor screws, costs some 18 bucks for a set of 4. I have the same ones, and never faced any noise from visor.

Better to avoid them. Their favorite work tool is sledge hammer.

Hey Have you checked out the LBS road, at kurla there are quite a few oil shops, I think there is one with Motul written on the sign board near Kalpana talkies. You can check there... By the way where do you stay in Mumbai?

I have got 2 bottles of Motul from Grant road, this will do for the time being. Later i will check the place you are referring to. Thanks.
I stay in vashi, navi mumbai & you ?

kindly do the needful.....but i agree with you....had suzuki marketed GS well,it would be having more share of the market though.....hopefully suzuki will learn from this and will market the forthcoming bikes the 150cc sporty slingshot and skydrive well....

Thats was a superb idea

, i followed the same method and found that the sound is coming from two bottom windscreen screws. I removed the windscreen and checked the same by knocking at various places. The upper two were having a deep sound where as the bottom two were producing a hollow sound. So the source of sound is not the windscreen but the visor assembly. Refitted the windscreen and adjusted the screws one by one. Still the sound is there

, but the intensity has decreased.

I think the sound is not just due to the loosening of the screw but the mounting of visor. Otherwise it wont be there for almost everyone. If we insert some kind of rubber padding near the bottom portion the noise can be minimized

Its a good way to detect but our solution didn't last more than 20 kms .

Yes even for me rattlesnake returns

Either we should try vishnu or akfara method I felt akfara method will give the all time relief.
