well i hope you know how to engage God mode by now........I found one interesting thing today....you cant change the mode while the bike is moving......and no the rpm doesnot increase after changing the mode.....

YES.....but make sure you check the bike thoroughly before taking the delivery....
check out page 478....osram do produce HS1!!!

So we can only use osram , we cannot use Phillips exteme without modifications?

That sounds great,

But earlier their was a fault at dealer side, suzuki side and also from your end also.

Suzuki's fault is that of releaseing a faulty piece to market.
Dealer fault is any product piece they receive should be checked before signing the received goods form they failed their as akfara said still some sub-dealers are showing 2009 model in 2nd level cities.

As a consumer we should analyse and do a throughly check before taking delivery so advice for you is check and ensure its status and working condition before you buy.

Best of luck you got one more opportunity to choose your favourite bike and favourite colour.

i think we can make use of the H4 types of bulbs.....
and @venu how is the nightbreaker.....post some pics......I am dying to see the output of the bulb.....

@venu Nightbreaker is HS1 or H4 ?

You are suspecting that this bike is having some non-repairable issues. No one will be able to convince you the facts as you are not ready to accept it.

In this circumstance, my personal opinion is to get back your money. If you accept the offer of replacement, that bike too may make problems to you as no noiseless bikes are in the market, including electric bikes. More than that Suzuki may not give you another chance of replacement or repayment of money.

You are to decide. Taking in to account the entire facts, take a wise and firm decision which will bring back your peacefulness.

Do the best.

@ Sumitdey and Maestro

Yes Osram H4 is a perfect fit to our GS. Not to worry. I have no idea about Philips, if you search on net, users preference is more towards Phillips crystal vision or xtreme power models.
As far as my experiment with nightbreaker, its giving me a better result. and tonight ill click some photos and post here. both hi and low beams have improved, especially the low beam, now i can spot the potholes in NH 17 here

Here is the HS1 from Philips ,I am using it in MY GS ,after changing to CA series RR it works better than Halonix ...our OEM ,even in 2010 models with CA series the halonix not done it part(i.e provide enough light)
Its Made in china cost 90-100Rs ...

No mate, i dont even have a bike on first place.

I am been following GS for quite a long time, even though I am a huge fan of Unicorn, but thanks to cheap politics of Honda to sell their Dazzler instead of Unicorn I leaned towards this monster.

I have been reading stunning reviews about this bike and on the other hand i have also been reading the problems related to this bike, which corrected in the newer versions of GS, but seems some of newer version of GS still have same problems.

Believe it or not, in Mumbai 2 of the Honda showroom stopped booking of Unicorn and Activa due to the fact that the waiting period have gone above 10 months and showroom people still cant guarantee that the bike will be delivered after that period! On the other hand they say you will Dazzler in 1 month! Simply Pathetic!

I dont see any other option in 150 CC other than GS, so thats why it was posted by me. Anyone knows any upgrades or changes in 2011 GS150R? Is there any news or rumour about it? (Its a question, pls dont take it as a fact )

Eagerly waiting for the pics

whoaaa.....2011 wont see any upgrade in the GS150R but a new version which will have engine tweaked up for performance will be launched similar to what unicorn did with dazzler.....expecting bigger models like the GSXR600-750 and Gladius 600 in March and the speculated bike in September'11......

Mine is a 2010 model. I have brought the phillips premium bulb and will fit it soon. thanks mate.

Also any recommendations by anyone for the pilot lamps, i want to put LEDs, so as to energize more power in the headlight.

Even i got this pathetic answer for unicorn, this was is September; the guys in the honda are literally pushing for sales for Dazzler. I don't get it, if the demand for unicorn is still so much & dazzler not so much, why not manufacture more unicorns than the shrunken dazzler. Sales of GSR has rose not only because it is a very good bike, but also because of unavailability of unicorn.

All bikes irrespective of the manufacturer, has a few problems. Even superbikes have problems. Its luck after all, you might take the best manufacturer's bike & have problems or the worst ones without any problem.

I feel there is nothing to upgrade in GSR other than a few negligible issues. If you want a 150cc, look no further. GSR is the best amongst the rest.

No doubt the CB Unicorn is still the best Honda in India.It has grown in performance and quality over the years,it still performs wonderfully in able hands.Its superb refinement and feel is not what one would find on the Dazzler.The Dazzler on the otherhand,fails to point out what it is good at,is it a stylish FZ16 beater????............. doesn't come even close !!! Is it a RTR smoker????........... only people out of their hashed up minds would think so.
So its Honda refinement.........no that has gone for a toss.
Then what is it ???
A wannabe CB1000R.


I love it big,I like it chunky,
I love it cheap,I like it cranky,
I love it naked,I like it bulky,
Suzuki please bring the Bking,
only for this Junkie(MACH50).........

If Suzuki chooses to launch another 150,then it will surely have the 16bhp engine of Raider 150 this time,because Suzuki believes in real time performance and not wannabe

Thats plain injustice to a product that earned them revenue and foothold in India in a market dominated by the Pulsars and Pulsar is a brand,not product,so it was a tough arena then.Honda does the same thing to Unicorn what it had done to Rossi,years ago in MotoGP.

And people are finally getting to know the GS150R,the versatile and ultimate 150cc bike.Well Honda pays for its injustice to Unicorn,none of us can help it.Our hard earned money would obviously go for the best.

Suzuki has already learnt from its mistake,I hope.Just think what would have been Suzuki's brand equity today if their first offering in India would have been the GS150R along with the 125s..............they would have grown stronger than the Honda !!!!

Yes, I also got same treatment from Honda dealer in navi mumbai in Oct 2010. When i went for enquiry of unicorn price they said that "No more bookings are allowed for CB Unicorn, Dazzler is available with in 15 days".

Any way i am initially inclined for Yamaha SZ-x but after reading this thread am increased my budget and selected GS-150R and got it on Last week of October, now my odo@1100KMs. Till now its a good experiance with it.

I didn't heard about any upgrades for GS-150R in near future....
