    What's the main difference between the two except the color change....???
    any comments are welcome....
    Hey buddy, whats up. Seeing you in xbhp after a really long time.

    The Service center i go to, everyone from mechanics to the owner still say that the changes in 2009 and 2010 are only cosmetic things and engine and other core components are still the same.
    I even tried riding a 2010 model, brand new one with 2kms on ODO, it felt the same as my bike.

    I would have suggested the dual tone blue but i remember you saying your girl friend didn't like the blue colour. Guess the orange/red one would suit you better.

      You know my gs is full black and it was selected by my better half.
      Never mind. Even Lord Shiva was helpless before his better half; Parvati. For a colourful life we will have to adjust.

        They are lying. Otherwise you will ask for replacement.

          • Yesterday night happened to meet fellow gspian manu bhat his gs is 2010 model mine is 2009 model.

            The difference we found are the shape of the handle bar weight and engine sound my gs engine sound is calm than his

            Even long back read somewhere that 2010 gs engine is altered to obey the governments latest pollution norms.

            • 2011 model, I thought the latest was 2010 model.

              For satisfying the emission norms they might changed the catalytic converter.

                    The visible changes in 2010 version are dual tone, stickers, RR unit and carburetor. The carburetor was Mikuni in 2009 but for some it was Padmini. It looks just as Mikuni may be a local version of Mikuni BS26.

                    There may be some other undisclosed changes, Japs strive to better their products. So the newer version will be more refined.

                    Oh...man so there are some changes other than the dual color and the stickers... unlike Hero Honda...

                    Is the carburetor changed?????? that is really a big change even if is not visible ....well I never knew this....
                    So is the new carburetor better than the old one....????
                    Carburetor...Padmini?????well it sounds a bit off though.....

                    Any body have any idea on this....??? Please let there be light...

                    Thanks.....

                      I have heard that the old Carburetor was much better than the new Padmini one's...is it true?

                        I hope it is not like that......also I do not think they will replace a good carburetor with a not so good one....
                        Also I think the new carburetor is not Padmini...(it sounds so tacky...no offense please)
                        .as Anup told...it was that some people got that carburetor...

                        I do not know why this happens...I want to buy the bike now....
                        and such things I am hearing....I do not mind the color...stickers...but surely there has to be a good carburetor...!!

                            Yes.....now silencer is altered to conform to euro 4 norms. when i had my silencer replaced, it cost me 10000 bucks, whereas previous model was some where around 4k to 5k. There might not be any further changes in 2011 model if at all.

                              Suzuki has not used ‘PADMINI’ carburettor in any of their bikes. A carburettor with that name is not manufactured anywhere in this world. How can a nonexistent spare part be used in 2010 GS? Someone may have misread the name.

                                I think the name is "MIKUNI"
