    It's been months I logged into xbhp. Nowadays I ride my GS only on weekends. .

    But she is going strong even after 2 years. Now I am thinking of doing some modifications. Like Spilt handlebar and K&N airfilter. Guys if you have any details putting a Spilt handlebar. please help me.

      Suzuki GS150R's original speedometer is hard to fault,it shows a very mathematically related road speed without any front tyre size error.

      It will show awkward speeds only if the sensor comes off and is dangling instead of sitting over the front sprocket.
      Mach da....you got it right....the Mumbai nashik expressway is just made for that.....was riding at 125 kmph nearly and then encountered a straight 2-3 km road downhill....so the speed shot upto 138 kmph but it started swaying and I reduced the speed to get back the control....

        The only place I get with long uninterrupted road is NH4. Unfortunately wind there is gusty. I still manage to touch 115 kmph.

        I suspect my bull's nostrils(air filter) are clogged. Got to clean them up in next service. Have you ever felt at high speed, for a fraction of second bike panting for breath of air. It's scary

        Stock Engine Oil sucks. They said it's Suzuki-40. It doesn't even sound like double grade oil. I'll try take a picture of it next time I visit SVC.

            Suzuki is not manufacturing any oil. The one supplied as Suzuki 4T (not Suzuki 40) is IDEMITSU 10W-30 mineral. It is thinner and is not for GS.

            Replace it with any good xxW-40 oil you trust.

            Usually the mechanics do not clean / forget to clean the air filter during servicing. You never know what the mechanic is doing unless you are with him, which is not allowed in many service centers.

              I would advise against clip-on handlebars...........it adversely affects the stability and handling abilities of a bike which has been designed to function with straight bar handles.

              Also it totally destroys the originality of the bike when you consider the locking system or the front suspension alignment of the bike.

              Try using Pulsar180 DTSi UG3 handlebar for best result.

              If you want to use a KN air-filter, you better use it inside the air-box........it will make your bike ride-able and performing in any terrain and climate.

              The KN air-filter can be attached by its harness on the stock Fiero or Apache RTR air box filter cap and can be used to replace our stock. air-filter cum top cap assembly.

              This will put the new free flow induction system into your airbox.

                      Engine oil it was clearly mentioned in manual dont just read it, but understand what they said.

                      All,
                      Got update from akfara, he is not keeping well soon he will come back and rock here again.

                      Only he is not well this time, his decreased bike is back to form after suzuki guys fixed all the long term issues.

                      No I wont tell all he will come back and tell you the complete story.

                          K&N is letting in more air in to the engine and more dust with it due to the poor filtering quality of its which spoils the engine. It is not a compressor to compress air and push it in. However large quantity of air is available to take in, the engine cannot use / suck more than whatever goes through the exhaust.


                          Increased air intake alone cannot increase the power of the bike. It needs more fuel which means low mileage.





                          Then, where does all the dust filtered throughout this long period of riding go except in to the engine itself as there is no special chamber in this filter to collect this dust to be removed later?


                          The overall benefit from this filter may be a little louder exhaust sound and nothing like increased power or mileage, as it is impossible to increase any of it by a mere replacement of air filter.


                          Here, the usual question we ask. Why do any of the automobile manufacturers never use this type of air filters and are all the engine designers morons enough to avoid it?

                            Will update on it
                            If you are particular on shell then go and getit from shell petrol bunk they will do the oil change free of cost.

                            I havent used shell Ax 7 oil so after 500 kms give your feedback on how it works best with our GS.

                            For me motul if not gulf, valvolin, elf works well.

                            Got the rattlesnake syndrome again on visor, fixed the issue with double sided tape now the sound from visor at 3500 rpm is no more.

                            Now my bike is going with valvolin and as said have motul 15 w 50 at my stock have to change it on next month.

                            Regarding air filter what vishnu said was right in my style "filter that allows more air will allow more dust too, and the filter that filters better and gives quality air will allow air quantity which is lesser than default one"

                            In practical term on normal day to day use it wont give you any drastical change in the way the bike usually behaves

                            There are some thing called green filters you can try that too.

                              After 800kms on ODO I had stock oil replaced with Motul 15w-50 with the help of a local mechanic. During 3rd service SVC asked me to change Engine-Oil(his so called Suzuki-40). He threatened: warranty would go void otherwise(putting other engine oils). We argued for few minutes, but all in vain.

                              Got to change my SVC to Miller's Road Suzuki now

                                I am not an expert but as I far as I know, the viscosity of the oil to be used is decided by the engine designers.



                                The xxW-50 oils are more viscous and may not flow freely as a xxW-40 oils when the engine is hot.

                                So my personal advice is to use any good oil of xxW-40 grade.

                                The mechanic is not to decide which brand of oil is to be used and which part is to be replaced under warranty. Replacements are decided by the company and the engineer / supervisor in the workshop and there is nothing about the brand of the oil to be used in the terms of warranty.




                                If the oil you mentioned is this, it is from IDEMITSU and is for Zeus, Slingshot and Access 125; not for GS.

                                Select a good xxW-40 grade oil, buy the filter from the sc and replace both in every 2000-2500 kms regularly by yourself.
