    Try to find a good mechanic to tune your carb, i guess any local mech also will do because all 150cc bikes have the same carb mikuni BS26 and tuning is just adjusting a fuel screw and an air screw.


    ?!


    Well, applying a thin film of oil on the inside of the fuel tank would surely help prevent the rust from forming, but i'm not sure what would happen if it gets mixed with the fuel.

    Anyway, keeping a full tank doesn't seem like a very good idea.
    Firstly, carrying all that fuel would reduce the mileage and pick up, may be just a little but it would reduce anyways.
    And secondly, i dont think many people would want to spend 800 bucks to fill the tank the first time.
    Lastly, the is always the added risk of crashing, with a full tank of fuel it would be dangerous.

    It is advisable to add 2 or 3 ml of 2 stroke oil per 1 litre of petrol, that too not continuously. But it is not meant for the rusting. I think psr has mentioned it previously.

    The weight of a full tank petrol will not affect the pick up or mileage. Going to the extreme end, it may affect the CG of the bike, but that too is a very distant possibility.

    More than that, the fuel you loss through is very much more than what you have use for carrying it in your bike, if in any way it happens.

    Anyone who can buy a bike for about Rs. 70,000/- is, beyond any doubt, capable to spent Rs. 800/- for petrol. Has anyone stopped using bike after this hype of petrol price – that too twice in a short period of time?

    I have never heard about the danger in crashing with full tank petrol and cannot understand what the difference will be, if it is with a small quantity of fuel.

          I didnt understand what you meant by that. I referred to people who wont believe or listen , even if we try to make them understand.

            I took some photos to show the difference but somehow i couldnt get the photos in angle which show the difference. The image ends up too glossy to see the difference.

            How often do we need to wax? Once in a week or two weeks?

              If it is so, you are going to get the best 150 cc segment bike. Most of the complaints from the GS owners are due to PPA (Post purchase anxiety). Sea, most of the seniors in this thread have no complaints. It is a matter of settling down.

              I am using this bike for about 13,000 kms, without any issue; even a slightest issue.

                It was not for you. What I told to Sooraj was a simle joke, which he did not digest. So I quoted your words in a general sense. Don't misunderstand.

                • With waxing most of the problems settled and the scratches are less conspicuous. But the blemish i mentioned is still there. While waxing i found its difficult to deal with contours.

                  Anyway it feels better after waxing. Ek dam chakaz !!!

                    Even now people are asking me why Suzuki and I would give a smile back to them. They all are just hearing, but not really listening people.

                      Hello Vishnu .... Really ur bike is Show room piece after 1 year....
                      And about the statements above ...I am the one ..did And thanks for ur advise to send a Lawyer notice to Suzuki....But instead i am asking them repeated way.....Let me hope the best....meanwhile this is a chatting in FB between me and a GS owner(Abdul Rahman) ...he told me lot of noise from engine and vibration also high....I suggest to go SMK porur where I heard Mr kalyan Service head doing good....As he went and get back his bike after 1 or 2 days....This are the problems faced on a 3000km done on a 2010 GS 150...
                      here is the chat i pasted
                      ---------------------**************-----------------------------
                      Me:-
                      then whats the thing ? the problem regarding noise...
                      Abdul rahman:-
                      they have replaced cam rod, shaft, bearing and some other things

                      Me:-
                      whats up?

                      Abdul Rahman:-
                      now its ok
                      no noise and no vibration
                      its good now

                      Me:-
                      then its fine ...happy to hear this ...i hope even same thing for me needed
                      ----------------------***********--------------------------------

                      So after Bore and piston(replace exclusive for some batches of 2009..includes me) it seems ,its now turns to be CAM ROD CAM SHAFT, CAM Bearing and Etc......
                      Since it is in 2010 model , i hope it exists in some batches(may be mine too) of 2009 model....If u get noise after very long distance its common in all bike due to heat the engine expands....But this case ur bike sound changes after riding 10km or less....Sometimes the sound is not all appears for a day and comes next day(Multiple personality Symptoms )..So when that time SC people will confused ....

                      So@ Br vishnu whats ur comments and suggestion ..Also need Mr PSR sir advice

                        He might not have a bike today but may buy the CBR tomorrow who knows.......gathering knowledge is always a fruitful pursuit,and the GS150R thread would be thankful if it really is able to divulge some knowledge.

Such a thing is not a toy to modify as per the opinion of a foolish mechanic or anyone else. And remember that most of this advisors do not do the same on their bike. They are advisors only. Advising is the easiest thing one can do in this world. It needs no capital investment and there for no possibility of any loss. Beware of them.

                          Everything is normal in your bike. Your anxiety is normal and it will diminish in a few days. And never try to do anything as per others advice. Whenever you are in need, aproach the service centre; not a local mechanic as most of whom know nothing exept hammering.
                          I guess you and me have slightly different interpretations for the word "local mechanic".
                          I'll assume what you picture by local mechanic is somewhat like a cobbler sitting on the side of the road.
                          But when i meant local mechanic, i was referring to anyone outside the authorised SC who can fix bikes, which could loosely extend even to a castrol bike zone because they aren't part of the SC and would still fit the definition of local mechanics.

                          And you shouldn't be so quick to dismiss anyone outside the service centers, the mechanics in the service center do what they want because they arent directly held accountable, any complaints would go to the SC managers who would hardly listen too, but the mechanics who have their own workshops have a reputation at stake and would try to deliver the best service possible to retain the customers.
                          (again, i'm not referring to people sitting on the side of the road with a spanner who might remove your carb and run away, i'm talking about some mechanic who you might know from some time atleast and who has a workshop or something like that)

                                So@ Br vishnu whats ur comments and suggestion ..Also need Mr PSR sir advice
                                First of all a detailed study must be made before coming to a conclusion..At first it was the bore and Piston,now it seems to be the Con Rod,Cam,and bearing....
                                Both problems are related to the core of the engine....common reasons are:
                                1. Bike is run without adequate engine oil
                                2. Bike is ripped for long time ,leading to excessive heat and resulting oil degradation...leading to engine problem.
                                3. Poor oil circulation due to oil channels in engine blocked,or oil pump is unable to maintain adequate circulation pressure.
                                4. Poor choice of oil...wrong grade, or spurious make ,or recycled packaged oil.
                                5. Poor quality material used,to make engine parts.
                                Under the circumstances choosing 15W50 seems to be a better option as it's weight at high temperature is better than a 30 or 40 grade at higher temperature
                                .
