      Picture of the ‘infamous’ fuel tank of my bike which is 2009 model. Just opened the lid and taken the shot without even cleaning the tank with a piece of cloth.

        Thanks for the kind words..I always think I am 25 with 34 years experience
        Is the rust shown at the mouth of the Petrol tank ,is also inside the tank.esp.,the tank bottom ?

          No. But do you think it is better to replace it? I was not considering it.

          • @ Vishnu

            Do it shows any sign of rusting? Its not easy to judge from the photo? About the outer rim, I have applied a little oil to keep the rust away.

            After washing water will remain in that region and may lead to rusting.

            • @Vishnu: that rust in the tank is there in my bike also...which i bought on 20th Jan. but i cleaned it with cloth n its gone, but watch out for corrosion inside tank as it's a serious issue.
              someone has mentioned about tin coated tanks...if i am not wrong all tanks are tin coated to prevent corrosion. generally people call it galvanized steel.
              correct me if i am wrong

              @psr: thanks for sharing info about Fiero engine...would love to learn some more from you.

                First and only response ,....the fiero engine ,Ignition system(CDI to TCI/IDI),and gearbox(4 GEARS to 5) were modified to become the Apache 150...which later with mods became the RTR160(Shorter stroke) and RTR180(TCI/IDI with 5 gears)...The oil for upper cylinder lube in all these bikes is through a separate tube from the engine....In GS it is provided through inner channels,of the bore.If you compare the Fiero/Apache150/RTR and GS engines side by side,you will notice this...The engine mounting bolts,bore and upper cylinder bolts,position of Self Start,stator,etc.,
                The GS differs from the others by having a balancer,6th gear,re-mapped CDI,and upper cylinder lube through inbuilt channels in the bore, and a Crank shaft stroke length more by 0.8mm than A 150/RTR180.

                  Yes if it is inside also....I think another GSian had 3 tanks replaced for this problem . Suzuki must look into this problem...If all who are suffering from this problem post an e-mail to Suzuki it will have an effect....otherwise it will be diluted and customers will continue to complain and Suzuki will continue to avoid and side step the issue.

                    yaa..the outer piping in Fiero, Apache, bullets, 110cc engines of bajaj (older ones)...from whatever i have worked on bajaj engines; oil to engine head internals is supplied through one of the four bolts which fixes head with cylinder. donno about GS...may be same method is used

                    Fiero has a brilliant engine...but it failed to excite masses with it's boring styling and absence of fifth gear.

                      OK I ready to take Risk..But it is a common word i told ...But it includes caring of my Sick parents and my family

                      Once you said that the tappet or engine tuning is the problem and now says that it is cam rod, camshaft (both are same), and cam bearing. None of these opinions is from a good mechanic.
                      [U]Yes I told what all u said...I am not Genius like in you ,And GS150R is not 5 years old Bike,It was introduced just 2 years back....Before that I am owning a Pulsar 2003 DTSI for 6 years without any problem and consistent mileage,Even if any problems comes ,The SC(sub dealer Mech of BAJAJ) solves it immidiately[...See i am using bikes from 1991...I did'nt faces such Hiccups in my life ,Even My Honda CBZ fails in mileage part, not giving Such MULTIPLE PERSONALITY SYMPTOMS ...Refer all pages(of this forum) who are all mentioning it /U]

                      If you not ready to proceed legally, approach the engineer or supervisor at sc at Pondy, explain the facts to him and do whatever he suggest.
                      :D Clever IDEA to a Novice like me ....whats ur age Mr vishnu

                      Before going there, you should prepare yourself to believe whatever he says because the real problem may be different from what you presume.
                      whatever I presume is not mine also ,its includes other GS bikes running here without such noise and If u see back i attached a conversion between me and Abdul RAHMAN his mobile no is 9629623314 and Mathew Syriac mobile no 9841229291 (who almost feel why he buy this bike) ,Bcos after repeated visit to SMK PORUR his problem not solved...Ur asking me question like a SUZUKI SERVICE HEAD.... AND after Abdul rahman went SMK porur they accept the problems changed the above CAM related parts UNDER warranty and his bike also from some other part of south india ..he is working in chennai And asked my advise ..Since chennai have multiple Dealers i suggest him to Go SMK porur thru Mathew who told me its the best service center in Chennai for Suzuki...And whatever he said about his bike is Happen to mine too...he is happy now that his bike is noise free

                      It seems that you have some misconceptions about the 2009 model G Ss. I too am using the same model bike for 1 year and 13000 kms and the only replacement was its RR unit.

                      Greatest Joke of 2011.....I hope u not read the thread fully....people reporting it many times ..may be some new entry have not enough patience to read fully or As I told Ur here in This thread(For SUZUKI) to confuse Guys that a single piece of 2009 model haves No problem at all....My pain is feel by me Not by you or others...Like that if ur bike and others have no problem means ...its not to all Are U 100 percent able to tell this
                      Try to reach Pondy service center. It is not on the top of Himalaya. You can do it without much strain as Pondy and Karaikkal are coastal plains.
                      [B]ts not himalaya..yes agreed ...even i travel bangalore to Karaikal many times while in college in KB100RTZ...Not only this I had many long trips ....So it's not a matter of Strain....Its a matter of caring my very sick parents(I hope u won't understood[/B])

                      Atharvaveda

                      The Atharvaveda praises God in Book 20, hymn 58 and verse 3:
                      1. "Dev maha osi"
                      "God is verily great"
                      [Atharvaveda 20:58:3]9

                      3. Rigveda
                      1. The oldest of all the vedas is Rigveda. It is also the one considered most sacred by the Hindus.
                      The Rigveda states in Book 1, hymn 164 and verse 46: "Sages (learned Priests) call one God by many
                      names."

                        I am sorry. I can understand your emotions. But I wonder how thousands of GS owners maintain this bike trouble free.

                            Abdhul bai,

                            From your language and words am able to sense and feel your pain brother, I wont ask you to try once again to reach pondy to give a last try. Because why some one need to risk their parents life for a machine.

                            You already put lot of efforts thats enough, please please sue them now for giving a deficient (defective) piece of a good product and pathetic service.

                            Take a copy of all the proof.

                            Take advice from legal guys and make sure if suzuki guys are defy on you then utilise help from PRESS.

                            • Brother one more last thing make sure you sue them before warrenty expire.

                              Some one in this forum already got their bike replaced with a new one and you know the guy who got refund also

                              My support and wishes. For your further proceedings.

                              • akfara: Shanti brother. As someone said above, try to get Suzuki fix the problems, or acknowledge the prolems in warranty period. After warranty, they are not responsible in any way. if they acknowledge the problems now, then atleast it will be binding for them to repair those particular problems.
