Yes getting a ford figo titanium diesel is in process

If fate is bad we cant stop things from happening but with presence of mind you can reduce the damage.

Just an hour back I was travelling with my kid and mother-in-law there is no traffic but fate came in the form of a discover bike,

He had a kid onpetrol tank and two more kids on back.
He is driving out of control I noticed it almost 20+ feet ahead I stopped my bike he is not able to control the bike hit my bike on front by gods grace no one is hurt but gs taken a hit on the front mud guard.

Thus I joined your club

Even i fell off my bike today, almost around the same time, 9:30 in the morning.

I was riding on the main road so i was going around 30 40km/h and didnt look very keenly for vehicles coming from cross roads, and this lady came from one of the cross roads and banged into me.

Bike was safe (on top of the activa), i was on top of all this, and that lady fell away from the crash. Guess i cant entirely blame her, i should have braked at the intersection even though i was on the main road.

Luckily nothing much happened, 2 very small cuts on my left palm, and my little finger hurts when i try to bend it. And i was going for an exam, and to top it off, i write with my left hand.

You had an accident today too ??

Gear shifting is hard. It makes noise many times when i try to shift down the gears. There is not at all problem while i go on upshifting from 2 to 6. I use heel shifter all the time. Those are buttersmooth shifts But many times when i go on shifting back the gears feel like stuck and i have to press hard to change the gear. What may be the possible reason? I guess it will get solved after i do my first service after a few days and change the oil.

Hey guys, Im ram from bangalore. Ive been a stalker on these forums for a while now. Im damn happy to have run into you guys. Hope to stay here for a while.

I own a month old gsr, blue black, done some 750 kms, first service done last week. This is my first experience with owning a four stroke bike and maintaining any bike in general over a long term. So, I was initially given into some anxiety and started fault finding. However, upon coming across xbhp and especially this thread, I felt damn relieved and I went through as much as I could (though not even half the pages). The problems I can confirm on my bike that have appeared on other bikes as well are:

> Rusting on the mouth of the tank - solved - showroom replaced it with another brand new tank upon complaint.

> Loose chain - chain was loose within first week of delivery. was told it was common on new bikes but even after tightening on first service, has loosened to the earlier amount again. Gearshifts occur with a noticeable but not too obvious thud which seems to originate from the chaincase and not the gearbox.

> After first service, sometimes it would jerk like its running out of petrol only to run fine again after a couple of seconds. I complained to the SC and they said they had fixed it. It was fine for a couple of days but its started again. It doesnt show up much when the engine is warmed up and blasted for a couple of laps but its very noticeable at low speeds, especially on cold starts. I dont know what the SC did to my carb, but now, the idling rpm is at 2k when warm and around 1,2-1.5 k cold.

> Probably a result of the above two, Im getting a mileage of around 37-42 depending on pillion or single riding in city traffic. I weigh around 69-72 kilos. My riding is a mix of normal to mouthfoaming rash and always in normal mode, never set ECO but occasionally PWR for very short distances. But even when Im sane, i get around the same avg. Im disappointed. I know you guys say not to mind the mileage until second service but I want to know how different people report different mileage even upto 60kmpl on factory tuning. There cant be many variables to consider on a fresh bike.

> Vibrations from the front end at about 3.5-4k rpm, noticeable on the fairing....esp rightside. The headlamp-fairing has never been touched since I bought it. Havent bothered to fix it as I barely notice it.....i.e. I dont stay in that rpm range for more than a second or two.

> Soft front brake feels nice unlike other disc brake setups but its a bit inadequate for panic braking. I need to start braking from atleast 10 metres to come to a stop from 50kmph.

>Woefully inadequate headlight....nearly hit a couple of stones, flew off some humps and into potholes on these damned bangalore roads because of improper illumination.
----------------------

Things I noticed specific to my bike :

> I can sense a bit of slight periodic wobbling....up and down 'jumps'....at all speeds more noticeable at low speeds. Cant make out whether its front or back wheel. SC guys say they dont notice it but Im on their case about this. Ive tested this multiple times on the same patch of road at the same speeds on different vehicles. Mine seems to jump more. I stress the word seems. The suspension is not set too soft, its the middle one.

> I changed to gulf pride on first service seeing that a few of you guys were using it. Sc was using veedol. Vehicle was smooth for the first 20-30 kms, gearshifts buttersmooth... couldnt even feel the shifts. Its been more than a 100 kms now and engine has started feeling rough approaching 4-4.5k rpm and above. Even gearshifts are sometimes clunky, 2nd gear shifts with a thud and most others occur with 2 clicks.....even with heel shifter....sometimes that is.

> Have any of you noticed any errors in your tripmeters? i suspect mine is wrong by a few kms compared to the odo over a distance of 50+ kms. Also, my fuel guage shows just 1 bar even when ON sometimes.
----------------------

Other stuff:
> I second that there is definitely a performance difference between the different modes and not simply a blinking light and fancy names like one of you said. You can tell the difference in vehicle sound itself between PWR and normal. I love PWR.

> I dont regret buying this vehicle....I chose it after a lot of thought but I wish it was less troublesome than it is now....but Im thankful i didnt recieve the worst of the raw deals. Suzuki need to up its quality control a lot.

> I didnt pay much heed to break in rules though I knew them byheart.....often took it upto 6k and above but brought it back soon enough. I put some stress on the engine, started pillion riding from around 60-70 kms on the odo, used to shift around 5000 to 6000 rpm for a while, still do sometimes. Have occasionally taken it beyond 7000rpm. Sped upto 75-80 kmph. I feel much less guilty doing all this after first service. I didnt change engine oil soon enough for all this stress....only sometime after 600 kms. Hope my baby doesnt think bad of me.
-----------------------

Sorry for the long post guys....maybe I should keep a prize for anyone who goes thru this. Anyway happy to be here. Hope I can give something back.

Also, howdydo to anupdas and madhu.

hey ihave the same problem. ifinished both my servicce.. i told them im getting a lot of noise during gear down. especially from 2nd to 1st.. dunno wat they did .. now other gears noisecame down..2 to 1 exists a lil. but they did something reallystupid that when i go from 1st to 2nd gear n i race my throttle. it goes back to neutralsometimes n puts a huge noise n embarasses me on strreets LOL stupid ppl these sc ppl r

THE REAR BRAKES ARE USELESS! .They have to do something .. after riding an apache 160 RD version . i felt wat it feels to have Rear DISC.. damn insane brakes!

Same old story again :'(

I am waiting for Suzuki to correct these issue, even though I dont know how to ride the bike perfectly but still I want to go for this bike. Its really made me sad that the problems are still not taken care by Suzuki. Suzuki need to work on their Quality control

@ Ram



About the wobbling issue, does this happen when you run for some time and engine become hot? I remember having a kind of problem like this where i felt like something is getting jammed in engine block. Is it like engine is getting out of breadth?
