I am not going to try,but curious to know

its for car carburetor and RPM mentioned here is 500Rpm

Curious to learn how to tune, if our bike is fuel injected

So what,basic tuning is same for all carbs.
Only for Bikes, the 500 rpm is equivalent to 1100 rpm.
FI system is flawless..........only the OEM can tune it,it does not need to be tuned and neither can anyone tamper its tuning be it SVC or showroom.

Many people with FI bikes complains of the complications in tuning the FI system,my view with regard to them.........they are uselessly worried.A well kept Bike would never suffer from FI issues.

Factory set FI system always provides the correct air-fuel mix......... whether it serves on the Glamour or the ZMR,R15or Pulsar220Fi it does not matter,unless it suffers leakages or impurities from the fuel filled in,thats when the company brings the 2.5-3 lacs worthey FI tuning equipment out.I even know how it is done,learnt it from Yamaha factory showroom,when they were tuning a R15 which I was using.

Sir I am not aware that my funny comments hurts you and Mr vishnu sir this much

as our mach50 too pointed it few page back

Suspicious ur profession means u thought I am abusing you.???.Yes its none of business to Point someone without knowledge and no rights ....
i agreed that i made a mistake by making funny comments...other than sorry, I don't know what else you need

The Yajurveda contains the following prayer:
"Lead us to the good path and remove the sin that makes us stray and wander."
[Yajurveda 40:16]8

No offense taken Akfara..the words you chose to pass as funny comment was not appropriate...esp words like "demonic knowledge ",and of being a Suzuki dealer with vested interest...they did make me feel unwelcome here and felt hurt that the best of my intentions are being questioned...
Let the whole thing pass..and let us continue .

I don't know if you are aware of the fact that the new Pulsar150DTSi has graduated from BS26 to BS29 officially........The bike which used to pump 14bhp now pumps 15bhp from the very same 150cc engine,without any change to the valve settings or the way the engine breathes the air..........it still runs the same air-filter material too..........hence I have my faith in this mod.
Still however I would be running the KN air filter in case it needs more air to feed the fuel mix and inject it at the Venturi velocity which the engine can take.........but I think it wont be needed.

The 15.06 bhp comes at 9,000 RPM...against 14. at 8,500 rpm of the old pulsar. Did you see that the torque is less now.The NEW bike cannot accelerate on the top gear like the old..They had reworked on the inlet to suit the BS29...since I don't have exact details I am unable to give you precise info on this.
GS produces 13.8 BHP..but look at the torque..it is 13.4nm way above the Pulsar 150...which is why it cruises effortlessly at high RPMs,and you are able to beat most other bikes.
Best of luck to your experiment.

Low speeds

@ Akfara and other GSians,
The GS 150 R has torque which is unparalleled by any current 150cc. This will let you pull the bike at very low RPMs at higher gears.But this will put strain on the con-rod,Piston pin,and crankshaft,and the respective bearings...eventually leading to accelerated wear.So shift 1 at 2,000 and,2,3 at 2,500 RPM and higher gears at 3,000 or more RPM.

just my thought.

here i attached MY SVC(subdealer) service center ...plz comment abt it...u can see a New unsold GS 2009 model ,expecting a customer to buy...this pic taken on 14/1/2011

OH MY GOD!!!!! my local mechanic's workshop looks better than this!!!
@ afkara....the video is damn funny....i get 147kmph on the center stand....will post a video soon on the highway with GS doing 130kmph+(obviously with the riding gears)

@all guys chillax.......as mach said dont take it your heart.......just pass it off as a funny comment.....and also do use MULTI QUOTE option....as i dont think filling the pages with posts and increasing the numbers will make you popular or something to boast of!!!!! and it also does put a lot of strain on the hostiing server.....

gave my bike today for 9th service....just minor problems....like chain loosening and rust on saree guard......told the engineer about the roughness after 4.5k on the tacho and he just wrote "ENGINE R.P.M setting"....now what will the mechanic do.....will he just set the idle rpm or will look into the engine???

@ psr

Do we really need to shift so early. When I shift before 4K(other than 1nd and 2nd gear) it feels like engine is a little stressed. If shifted just above 4K,with minimum throttle engine keeps on running stress free. This is prominent while riding with pillion.

Now I hardly rides above 4.5K rpm, following vishnu's advice shift early as possible. The mileage i got is roughly the same. But its kind of boring

. So what I did is that I did all gear shifting around 4K and ride around 55Kmph.

Guys kerb mass means a vehicle with all its consumables and full tank petrol rite. There is a stat

Honda CB Unicorn - Kerb Mass(146), Fuel capacity(13.0L, 1.3 R)
Hero Honda Hunk - Kerb Mass(146), Fuel capacity(12.4L, 2.2 R)
Hero Honda X-treme - Kerb Mass(143) Fuel capacity(12.0, 1.5 R)
Suzuki GS150R - Kerb Mass(149), Fuel capacity(15.5L, 3.5 R)

We can note that the difference in kerb mass is only due to difference in fuel capacity and all these four bikes weigh roughly same. The weight of riders vary more than this

.
So from now on if anyone says GS is bulky lets present this stat. Yet riding GS feels big.Is it because of the front biased weight distribution?

I didn't know suzuki had service centers like this.

I guess there wont be stock of any spare parts at that SC right ??
Is this the only SC in your area.?

I guess this is also a bit too early to upshift.
I usually make sure rpm stays above 3000 in 3,4,5,6 gears.
Riding at this rpm will make GS150 feel like a 100cc bike i guess.

**2strokerama** · 01-20-2011, 12:50 PM

I felt pulsar has better weight distribution and is easier to handle (as long as its not sharp curves and such) and the bulky low speed handling of gs is because of its lack....though their weights almost the same.

But I also felt gs is the better overall handler compared to uni and hunk also....especially taking curves. rtr is in a different league.

i think he meant just to feel the torquey nature we can shift and have the fun.....and the weight of tthe bike should be considered by dry weight and not the kerb weight.....if you see the dry weight of GS its 134kg and for dazzler/unicorn 126/130 kg....
this has put me in doubt...

where does the extra fuel weight go?

Yes br this is a sub dealer one,other than this near by is also a sub dealer which was almost same...for that too i have to travel 50km and 100km another sub dealer.....The main dealer with all facility is 150km away from me in both direction north and south side (puducherry, trichy).....
And in the picture its a service area only ,they have showroom in the same area with Good atmosphere(A.C) which is not in picture yes they don't have spares like small screws for visor and all thats why i am going to pulsar showroom(or local spares shop) to buy and that too a sub dealer(bajaj) itself with excellent facility and 1/2 dozen skilled mechanic

...And here(suzuki sub dealer) sold around 75 bikes(GS 150) and more Suzuki access and other suzuki bikes ....For the whole they have single person as a mechanic

Hi,
Please reply to this as early as possible as its urgent,
My bike's disc brakes have been making a squeaky sound everytime i travel around 20km/h speed, it goes off if i accelerate above 30 and its not there below 10km/h.
Today i noticed that the disc brake fluid container at the handle bar is empty, There is no liquid in it at all, I dont know how long its been like this too.

I rode 2kms today and when i touched the disc it was burning hot.

And to add to the trouble, i use only the front disc and almost never use rear brake so i'm worried that i might have spoilt the whole disc brake.
My bike has run 7k kms and is 1.5 yrs old, should the fluid be replaced at regular intervals or anything ?? (i guess i've never replaced it till now)

it seems like the brake pads are excessively rubbing against the disc causing the sound and making the disc hot.....even my bikes oil level is showing zero but when i told the mechanic he opened it and it was full....

so better check by opening the oil container....

Sir ...how to check the sounds of crankshaft and respective bearing noise ,if they faulty....because as u know in my previous post My bike's Bore and piston is changed in puducherry along with the CAM chain...
Now i ride 2000km after that get some noise in engine...which was told by mech thats exists in All GS if ride for mere 10km or 5 KM, he is trying to tell that i imagine that it was faulty sound

....which I am not accepted after riding a other GS of some others in my place...
How to differentiate between crank shaft faulty noise and tappet noise(Tappet loose noise)..??
If i continue to ride with fault crank shaft and respective bearings what will be the effects i will note on later...????
Will crank shaft faults leads to Low fuel efficieny...???

Hope i did'nt do any funny here
