No..........I am better off with a 35W component as some heavy performance(torque/hp related) upgrades are upcoming the next week, few components of that package requires electronics too.

Mach, little tip for you: In your Oly camera, if you have a P or Av mode, then it will be best. See, camera stores the light that falles on its chip through a small hole, called aperture. If you use the zoom, the aperture will be small, and thus light fallen on the chip will be very less.This causes the tearing of pictures in night time. If you see the info of your photo, it will show 1600 ISO which just can't show nice pics in any time - day or night.

To compensate this less light, use Aperture priority or P mode, set ISO to 200 and Aperture to 3.5 (in Av mode). Keep the camera on a tripod or a steady surface, and keep a timer of two seconds, that is after you click the shutter, photo will be taken after two second. This will nullify any movement in camera.

And don't use any zoom in night, unless you are shooting the moon. Better to have clear photos and then crop them rather than have blurry large photos.

Hope you don't mind this gyan!

Thanks for the gyan Animeher !!!!........it is all a step of learning with understanding rather than turning through pages of owner's manual where nothing is explained clearly(they assume only pro-photographers buy their products !!!)

However,Animeher,since you too attempted DC and HID sometime back....if I recall right........what have you got to say about this development on my bike ???

Awesome Bro GR8 work there i am not earning myself. or else i would have done it immediately awesome mach DA that is really commendable. will approach you when i gotta do all this stuff on my babe !

anyways completed 621 km since 33 days just love my babe i wanna learn first about the bike & then only i will be able to look for any problems ! also bike is running fine not gone above 60kmph using 6th gear its awesome !

got my first puncture yesterday in mt rear Tyre a small pin was inserted diagonally... costed me 50 bucks . A very small hole but needed to be treated. Also had to get it done from a local tyrewala ..SVC does not do this !
Also had a fuel TANK LEAK IN MY ALTO ! GOD KNOWS WHAT IT WILL COST NOW WAS A REALLY BAD DAY ! EXPENSES ON A HIGH SINCE A LONG TIME !

Thanks and you are always welcome to approach me for anything related to the GS150R.

Puncture repair do not cost me more than 20-25 bucks in my city.........in the 11 months of my bike's age it happened only once,last month.

Also, how can you afford the Alto and its fuel if you are not earning yourself ???

I went to fill petrol at shell today, coincidently i got to meet first GS rider of karnataka. He has done 38k on ODO. He told me, he got a party from suzuki for being the first GS rider of karnataka.

Hi guys.. I have always been a silent spectator at xBhp & have learnt quite a lot ! But now I'm confused..

So today I can and do change engine oil and replace filter with O ring, replace brake fluid, clean spark plug, check battery at regular intervals, lubricate my chain and all spots mentioned in owner's manual, remove my tyres and tighten them and all those which many can do..

Here's the catch!
Today I wonder if whatever I've been doing every 1.5k KMS since last 8k KMS is not enough and not going to a mechanic for regular service is a mistake ?
What is that Extra thing mechanic can and we(not of engineering background) can't?

Senior xBhpians do sort me out with real examples :-)

P.S. I intend to use GS150R for 5-6 more years and then upgrade.

Good info / question brother,

To get experience doctor won't do operation on his own body

Similarly what ever we learn in class room is generic theory, and not specific to certain type of bike such as your GS150R

What you did was right,

By referring the manual and following the all steps mentioned there is the right practice, but many core part trouble shooting wasn't there in manual because those things are tend to be touched by a professional (here professional refers to a person experienced on trouble shooting grown up mens toys aka bikes)

Catch up with a good local mechanic give bike to service there, and also learn from him on how to trouble shoot.

My intention is not discouraging or stopping you, just trying to show you the right path (which I felt) and to make sure your learning attitude will not cost your bike.

Today I was luck enough to got a motul can as a gift from my colleague, but the reason for bring the topic here is he bought it for his pulsar as he is going abroad, he gave that to me
It is motul 3000 15 W 50
As per manual it won't harm.

I felt someone (believe its augustine the chennai vellor champ used it) here already used it
Please provide me your feedback about its +ve and -ve's

hey guyz..
when i did 4th service of my bike i switched to Gulf Pride 4T, i used it for 1800 Kms and now my bike is due for 5th service but still oil is in good condition its still red.. and also its only 24 days older oil.. so should i change oil or not??

Wow crossed 1800 kms in 24 days.....

Either between 2000 to 2500 kms or 90 to 120 days is the average scale for changing oil.

No need to say you already keep a tab on oil in engine...

So keep it till you feel the bike is good, but don't prolong it

On gulf oil color won't change even after 2000 kms but in my case it gets thicken and I felt roughness in engine response / behaviour and gear change as well

my first ride

hi to all guyz my name is sainath i live in chennai i just bought suzuki gs150 candy max orange black the engine is the best smoother silent performer mileage is deasent just done my first service love to ride it never disappoints me

First of all Congrats. So yours is a new GS which we are all eagerly awaiting for?? Put up some pics mate.

Rest all: Sorry guys for not being active so long. I am out of country and left my baby under wraps and got busy with studies and exams are nearby. Will be back in a couple of weeks. Hope all of your GS is doing fine in the moonsoon.
Wishes to all!

I don't think so, it is a stock clearance edition I think ........he rides our original GS

In mumbai everything costs more ! Dude its not my car it is my dad's car but i look after it ! actually speaking the bike is also given by him ! so it is is bike !
