BTW, try horn... It should sound the usual way, if the battery is ok...
Are u able to self start after riding for few kms???

Can be engine kill switch also as Abdul said...
In that case, spray WD40(Antirust spray) between the gaps of the switch and toggle it a few times...
Should solve the problem...

Hi all,

I own Black GS now about to get 2nd service done in couple of days. Bike is Superb, good milage, very less noice, butter smooth gear shifts, comfort for long drive etc...

Suddenly since last week or so, every time when i press self start my digital console blinks, clears the mode, changes trip to ODO and i hear a little thak thak noise from engine. is there any problem in Battery? The horns and the headlights work correclty so I do not feel its Battery

Is it just me who is facing this issue

Can any one PLEASE help me understand why this problem would have come up and that too so early just in 3 months???

Hope this would be resolved correctly during teh second service.

sir we are aware that u and mr Vishnu sir is friends by ur previous old post commenting about todays youth's

....Either u have demonic knowledge about suzuki or owner of a Bike show room or Employee of Suzuki..or may be i am wrong on all assumption ....What I(we) need is participate regular in this forum and give end user knowledge by providing ur valuable suggestion to GS 150 R owners that will enlightening them(me and us) to keep the Bike For ever with "Drive me crazy"

feelings...Please point me anything i written here wrong...though instead PM ,I posted in regular post ..sorry for that

...Thank you sir

hi bro i am the "abdul" mathew refers in the link, even me too had the same symptoms ,nothing to do with headlight as its is AC, even ur battery is fault it can able to give ur horn sound with small energy from alternator or charging coil....But ur self motor requires lot of current from battery...
So even ur bike is new (2nd service), its seem to be ur battery is faulty one and u have warranty to replace it...else there is problem with engine Kill switch(which have loose contact)...but ur case ur digital console going blank ,i suspect mostly ur battery....even i changed(without warranty as it happens after 1 year

)...
Battery will not cost you much...go for MF batteries with reputed brand...

...No idea about thak thak noise ...u have to show ur SC....My suspect is ur idling seem to be below required level will cause such noise in ALL GS

Very well said Abdul Bhai, but we dont really mind if Vishnukmd or psr are related to Suzuki.

But everyone can understand their passion and they only provides solution which donot harm our bike by anyway. Sometimes knowing something will only lead to doubts. After vishnu's effort I have taken oath never to mention about Carb tuning as there are more chance to mess the setting and spoil the bike.

We all know how passionate Mach is with GS, but it can be misleading sometimes. Most occasions the service centre fails to meet the demands of the customer, if only Suzuki make sure a quality control this will never happy.

I have seen quite a lot GS owners simply giving their bike to SC without saying anything and they even don't know if there is any problem with bike. If they notice anything, they think its inherent to bike(like low mileage) and cannot be rectified.

thanks anup to understand my point,I try to tell the same word above in different manner ,in my old post,which was criticized by thread owner SAM asking me that i trying to tell most of GS is faulty one....The answer is "no" ...i just want express ,that we are small quantity of owners using internet, we should try to see other part ....thats what anupdas written here above...I hope this brave words will reach Suzuki and Improve the service and spares..which make them leader

and gainer

I have not met or know what Mr.Vishnu looks like.....What makes you think I am employed with Suzuki or it's dealers ?What is my "Demonic " knowledge of the same ?...assumption leads to confusion and misunderstanding....I don't know what I did to deserve this assumption......My opinion of the Youth and Elders of this Nation is clearly expressed,and I am really proud of them.
I had just opined that BS29 is not a better option than BS26 for the Suzuki stock set up...which in my opinion is true.A larger Venturi with medium velocity rate will be less in performance than the stock venturi with higher velocity.
If you had read my profile you will know what my profession is...
Since there is a doubt about my intentions,observations and opinion.....I will hereafter reserve it.

+1 to that Guru

My GS nearing 18K kms on the Odo... Milleage is always 45 [+ or - 3] with pretty insane riding in the OMR - chennai. Will try to go with the GOD mode from now on as Mach pointed out and give self tuning another try. Last time when I gave the bike for service, the SC guy topped up my engine oil (Motul) with the stock oil

. ~2200 Kms with the oil now. Will have to change in the near future. The airfilter and spark plug was changed. I was not particular abt the spark plug as I was planning to put Iridium.. now that the SC guy did it, think will have to wait for the next 10 K kms to change it... btw, whats the cost of CR7HIX ??

**Anupdas** · 01-19-2011, 03:33 PM

Its our pleasure to help you bro. You can visit PitStop: General Biking Discussion thread and find Merchandise Thread. Here is the link.

The xBhp sticker, cap and T shirts will cost 50,150 and 300 INR respectively. You can PM MG_Biker for details

Accepted my misunderstanding

...even though me don't have such knowledge about BS 26 or BS29 ,even i am experienced rider,i am purely on automobile magazines ..,,ur answer to mach50 idea's aboutBs29 is brave one

.....Sir i request u to continue on topics u know ,So we too get benefited for our GS...I am a common man , I hope you not hurt by my assumption,If so ..I am sorry for that

But you understand how a MNC suzuki(japan) customer frustrated if they fail in service and spares

compare to Indian counter parts(bajaj,TVS,HERO)

thats too much lean brother

When I got my bike delivered it ran very lean,which I raised to 4 half circles,which imparted adequate power and top end,3.5 circles puts things on a leaner side,something that can be used in these days of high fuel prices,but not lean enough to fry your valves.

5times half circled has got the GS150R that I posses deliver only 40kmpl on the mileage front while top end is restricted to 110kmph only

Actually,the true form of tuning without any fail safe methods would be,the old school method,where even a tachometer is not required :
How to Tune & Modify Carburetor Performance | eHow.com,

I will now tune to the above method and assess the results.

My bike is currently at 3 full turns (6 half turns) from the lock position. Power wise its awesome and all,

but petrol costs 65.6x in Bangalore and getting 46 mileage is pretty sad in these times. I'll try keeping it at 3.5 to 4 half turns and see how much difference i get in mileage.

Another weird thing i noticed lately,
With shell petrol my mileage is only 44 kmpl, and with BP i get 46-47. I filled shell at old madras road and VM road, both times shell gave lesser mileage. I guess shell petrol is reducing the fuel quality to keep prices lower or something.

**MSN1** · 01-19-2011, 04:35 PM

@ falcon
This month I went to the old madras road shell
Filled for 100 rupees
Its 1.55 litters
Kilometers covered 96.
Most of the times with pillon

Kms 96/1.55 litters = 62 kmpl.
Thats a good bunk only

Can you guarantee this mileage of 62 kml with this setting? Have you tried it and if yes, what was the exact result? If not, why are you recommending it to others?

twice half circle away from lock position means 1 full turns from lock position
thats too much lean brother

How much lean and what will be the air/fuel ratio in this position?

hope our Saviour Vishnu will post after midnight as he have to type a lot again

Yes; surely. But what can you do against me and my postings which are not meant to persons like you? Can you point out even a single instance in which I tried to mislead you? Do whatever you can. It is a challenge.
Mental slavery is common among human beings; but we must try to get rid of it.

But i wont tune my GS further because it was perfectly screwed up by the professionally trained carb screwer s

(SVC) and am happy with the mileage

Advising others to retune their bikes and getting yours correctly done by the sc mechanics! You are clever.

Sir, I think you have an in-depth knowledge about automobiles. In a thread like this, where some are trying to mislead and cheat others who are having no knowledge about bikes, you may not have any roll or you may not be fit. In that sense, you are correct.

And I wonder why this young generation is looking others suspiciously. Really pathetic is this condition.

Is it the real face of our youth? If yes, hopeless!
