    Ok Guys, am sorry to post in this thread as for the fact I dont own a GS 150R, but I have test ridden it over and over again( I am working with a Suzuki two wheeler Dealer in Faridabad). and have confirmed a few things about the GS 150 R.
    The Two Modes (ECO and PWR) doesnt have anything to do with The Mapping...its simply an indication so as to tell you when you are crossing the Economy Mode...or when You have crossed the Power Band too...... just an indication though...... as for the technology...the jet cooling and engine balancer..... well, you guys have to see it to believe it...as for the 6th gear..the bike does not stalk even at speeds of close to 40 KMPH in sixth gear.....XTRA TORQUE PERFORMANCE u see...... but you have to ride it to believe it.
    Cheers!

      me and KP(hydbiker) had a test ride of GS. We were highly satisfied with the bike. Superb refinment!

      and the speedo is connected to the transmission or the rear wheel like the Flame!

              Most Honda's I've seen - Uni, Zma, CBZ-X; the RTR and most Bajaj's are on 7Ah. P220 is on 9Ah; FZ is on 5Ah. Gotta understand completely about the electricals & the coil of the bike.

              For that matter, India's most battery dependent bike - the R15 is running on a 3.5Ah battery!

                  I guess RTR runs 9Ah! my A150 runs 9Ah so asssuming RTR runs the same too!!

                            ^^you can pick easily with 2nd gear....... but the thing with this bike (or may be with any machine that is well attuned) is that the accleration and the clutch release should be in perfect co ordination in order to get the smooth pick for a higher gear at lower speed else you could feel the jerks and land up dissapponted.......

                            One question guys.....where is that head light adjustment.....I though I read GSR has an in built headlight adjustment......I could not find it anywhere......any ideas.....


                            PS :: BTW completed 250 KM and so I have increased the speed to 65 now from 60...... I hope its ok.....

                              U Sure? Coz when i had visited the showroom for a test ride, the sales executive tole me that it has a 9ah battery, and when i showed him the brochure that stated 5 AH, he called someone and reconfirmed. Dont know what the truth. BTW did u check the battery for yourself or u read the service book?

                                I don't know what's the min speed for each gear.

                                But I can surely tell you that you can pick up from the second gear without any hassles.
