Fighting is not necessary. You can live with it. Most of the automobile companies are capable of very advanced machining and assembling. So need to bother about it. -
@MSN1to get 60kmpl+ shall we need to cruise under 50-60kmph?
or if we cruise at 60-80kmph shall we get 60kmpl in highways?sigpicComment

Bike prob...
I own a 1 year gs of feb 2010 manufacture with 5600 on odo.....on 2nd i gave my bike for 7th service,befor the 7th service the bike was fine without any prob.......but once the 7 the service is completeed and when i am riding (till now it is 300 km) the bike at 40 to 50 kmh range and above shows under powered,the feel is like somthing is stopping to run furthur or like bike is nearing its reserver.....i showed it to sc people anticipating a loosened chain and clutch play....they said that everything is fine....but stil iam facing the prob....guyz if you have faced the same or any clues please raise the throttle.....Comment

[QUOTE=nagthemissile;577631] the bike shows under powered,the feel is like somthing is stopping to run furthur or like bike is nearing its reserver. /QUOTE]
1. Keep the tank full or nearly full to avoid fuel vaporising which obstructs fuel flow. This will reduce fuel loss due to evaporation and will prevent fuel tank rusting.
2. Clean the fuel tank cap key hole and air vent.
3. Clean/replace the air filter and carburetor plug.
4. Clean the fuel tank and fuel cock.
5. If the problem persists, open and clean the carburetor and jets.
Any one of the above steps will solve the problem.
After that, “watch before you twist the throttle” as the geniuses do, twist it and GO and catch the missile.Last edited by vishnukmd; 02-11-2011, 11:30 AM.Comment

@Vishnu: I have quoted my earlier post for your referenceOriginally posted by mazaid53 View Postguys need some views on what could be the issue/s..
1. my GS wobbles after 30+Kmph speed...i mean the handle shakes as if wheels are not balanced.
i have checked steering cone for looseness. and handle geometry with cone. nothing seems wrong. I even checked air pressure. it's correct.
my guess: faulty front/ rear tyre OR slightly bent T or fork/s.
2. gears are still hard like anything...i need to hammer the heel shifter to shift.
also strangely sometimes gears does not shift from 2nd to 3rd even after repeated pushing of pedal.
clutch makes dhaad/ thaad noise while engaging from stationary position/ very low speed
my guess: engine oil needs change,pressure plates/ clutch springs not of good quality, faulty gearbox...but bike has run just 270 km
3. all of a sudden bike stops while running when clutch is dep[ressed i.e. bike is neutral/ it even hiccups while riding
my guess: some dirt in fuel or may be some dirt stuck in carb...need to drain it n check.
@all: please let me know if you have any other possible causes for these issues n remedies too.
I never said your opinions are incorrect...but the way you stress them without looking at the facts is wrong...AFIK each machine is different even if it's made after going through same manufacturing n assembling processes. i will PM you what i have learnt all these years as it's too long...n othrs might kick meOriginally posted by vishnukmd View PostMazaid,
The only knowledge I have about bike is that I know nothing about it. Whatever I do here is a show off.
In your posting, you have put forward some problems and your guesses as remedies.
I never said remedies, they were pure guesses about what could be the problem...
The first one was this: the handle bar of your bike is shaking at speeds above 30 kmh, and guessed some remedies. You checked the steering cone for looseness for this defect and forgot that if the cone was loose or tight or the bearing was defective or worn out,this was not my guess, but SVC mechanics guess... the result will not be this shaking but something else. Later you agreed that the back wheel alignment was not correct, as suggested by me.
that was my guess too...check above quote. I am still not sure if wheel is misaligned or tyre is faulty, i would doubt tyre though as my experience with ENKEI castalloys is good so far....
Secondly, the gear shifting problem. Your bike is new – covered 270 kms only and it is not a handmade piece, specially made for you. For these reasons I guessed that there is no need to change the oil or the pressure plates/clutch springs and its gear box is not faulty. Here my suggestion is correct. You have to learn how to shift the gear correctly. I hope that you will learn it soon. But if you are sure that your guess is correct, why are you not replacing the things you mentioned?
Thirdly, the noise. It is clearly because you are not engaging the gear at correct engine rpm. Here also I am correct and I hope that you will recognize it in near future.
Agree that my GS is not a special handmade piece, but there can be faulty pieces and machining errors. n BTW have you seen me riding that you you are so darn sure about gear shifting...do you think a guy who is riding since 14 doesn't know how to shift!!!
Fourthly the bikes stopping problem. I thought the dirt you mentioned cannot escape the filter in the tank to go to and stick in the carburetor. Besides, I am not bright enough to understand how to drain and look inside and check the carburetor without opening it. So I suggested that it may be an air vent problem and pointed out a remedy which is correct.
can you kindly tell me if there is some water/ dirt in the carb. how do you drain it without opening the carb.?? from whatever problems i have faced in my earlier bikes...there is a drain screw at the bottom of carb.
Your wisdom and knowledge about bikes are great. I have no doubt about it, especially after reading your posting. Your knowledge is vast. It is higher than the Everest and deeper than the Mariana; I know. I am unable to express my thoughts in words.
But, I cannot understand which of my opinions are incorrect. You have not pointed it out.
Can you please be kind enough do it? May I please twist the throttle?
u do have knowledge, but the way you put it across is a bit harsh..and anyways whats the harm keeping answers open n discussions flowing rather than saying there is only one solution...may be someone will invent something
Happy biking
[QUOTE=thefalcon;576988] I guess full tank is the only option left for the rust problem, damn. /QUOTE]
@falcon: there has to be a solution at manufacturing stage...we cannot alter properties of metal to resist corrosion.
correct me if i am getting you wrong...do u mean that by keeping tank full, patrol will cover tank's inside..which will in turn resist rusting...Last edited by mazaid53; 02-11-2011, 01:30 PM.anything that can go wrong will surely go wrong at the wrong time and the wrong placeComment

Hey
Hi Guys,
Yesterday I checked the mileage of the bike it is giving me
56.....Hmmm I am Very Happy.......
As Before GS 150 I was using Karizma....and I still remember every time I want to go somewhere....
I use to approach the pump first....
But now I am very happy with the bike performance...
Thanks Suzuki...........

let me tell this clearlyOriginally posted by ATHUL4R View Post
Am getting 60 or 62 in city while travelling alone (no pillon) at an average speed of 35 kmph and it works only if I cover 60 kms on one or two days
On highway riding at an average of 50 kmph I got 70 kmpl
Right gear at right speed will make it works more over the 6th gear is for cruising (pickup will be bad) so make use of it properlySarcasm is my automatic response to stupidity

and I also feel that your points are also incorrect most of the times...and it is my opinion....and my wish....so let be it to that....
As of what I had written how I talked to the SVC people.....I had not gone over the roof and shouted at the top of my voice as you might have imagined....I work in a MNC...and a responsible position at that.....so I do have some behaviour etiquettes....so no sweat on that....and as I pointed out...my bike is more important to me than what anybody from SVC thinks about me....
Also coming to the oil draining and replacing.....and all that stuff....I have nothing much to say.....and have done it long ago....I have been riding bikes for too long now...so such things are really trivial......So well anyway nothing much to say....from my side....
And I did not expect any AMEN or Hallelujah from anybody just…sharing my experiences…and trying to help others....and anyway you got the spelling wrong of Hallelujah…..

You must be riding 20 feet above the Bangalore traffic.... ...well believe me I know how it is...Namma Bengaluru....
more worse here in Hyderabad.....
have you done any special settings to you carb or something.....well I guess you might be getting...i never rode at 35kmph or 50 kmph in my life...it is very difficult for me to control the speed to such level...
Anyway please share your tips for getting optimum mileage....well you might have before in previous posts...but you know it is difficult to read all the previous ones....
So any tips are really welcome....
See the thinng is I got married recently.....and now on I have to think about mileage..... ...ohh. of course of the bike....I mean....

Ya, thats the logic, for rust to form there has to be air present, so with full tank, the parts that are prone to rusting will be immersed in petrol so no rust can get formed.Originally posted by mazaid53 View Post
Madhu, where did you get your bike tuned to get such a high mileage ??Originally posted by MSN1 View Post
And do you turn off your bike at signals ? In my usual route to college, 10 km stretch, there are 14 signals. and waiting time at each signal on average is 30 seconds, i usually turn off everytime, but after your post i'm wondering if it would be better to keep the bike on.
Last mileage i got was 49 kmpl, (after adjusting the fuel screw to 2.75 turns, reduced from 3.25, got around 3kmpl increase in mileage), but i dont ride too slow either, average rpm between 4000 to 5000, i rev to 6k-8k on empty roads at times, cant help it.
And one doubt which i had, when your bike is idling does the rpm needle keep moving or does it stay constant ? for me it keeps fluctuating +/- 100 rpm, never stays constant. (i guess this is a sign of bad carb tuning)Comment

The next batch GS is coming with a new fuel tank which is more rust resistant. It is heard that the existing tank cannot be replaced with it.Originally posted by thefalcon View PostComment
