Release the choke before you ride and adjust the rpm to 1300-1400 when the engine is warm. This will solve the heating problem. Yours is a new bike and therefore oil level cannot be suspected. But, just for nothing, check the oil level too as Madhu said.
All the bikes have this gap between the seat and frame and water enters though it. So, keep the documents covered in plastic bags.

There is no need to be afraid of the mileage unless you check it.

vishnu thanx !
THE BIKE SPARK PLUG WAS CHANGED IT WAS SHORT BECAUSE OF WATER ! I WAS TOLD SO & VISHNU IS IT OK IF WE FIX SPARK PLUG OF ACCESS OR SLINGSHOT HOW CAN BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE GS ? TILL NOW BIKE IS GREAT WILL BE GREAT AHEAD TOO I JUST LOVE MY BABE !

Anyway, the adapter is cheap and hence buy a new one of Zeus or Access125. It is a direct fit.

A little difficult to digest. Water remaining in the cap at very high temperature?

hii guys, i was returning home from college on saturday:9th july,2011, when i noticed my bike was giving jerks & was stopping when i got down to 1st & 2nd gears . i was stopping the engine was dying , initially i thought that the usual problem of water in the fuel tank must be the problem since i had only 1 mark left on the fuel meter.
i took it to the SVC shree sai suzuki, thane a advisor there told me the same said it could be it & said it would cost 120 to clean carburetor & Rs. 90 clean fuel tank. i thought that i should wait if the problem worsens then i would have gone for that.

Bring it to me...I will do it for FREE!!!!

If engineer tells you to change certain parts then insist on warranty and make him realize how much you care to keep your bike in great shape.
& can i make a claim of my insurance on this issue ?
You can't claim insurance on faulty parts of bike.

Fire gun the time clocked on your gs when taking these pictures is 2:27pm & the fuel meter is atleast 3 dots & as MSN said that they run out the petrol left in carburetor plus they disconnect the cord of the fuel tank the when your petrol in the tank is over as seen . then how is your fuel meter showing three dots . friend i am not trying to prove you false not my intention just my doubt? & please give tips on increasing mileage !

There is no connection between fuel level indicator & Carburetor. Fuel level is indicated by an electrical float switch, fitted inside tank. If you remove fuel tank, you can see this indicator at the bottom of the tank.
Don't worry about mileage till you ride at least 2000km!! thereafter you can expect figures around 50-55kmpl.

i haven't crossed 45 KM/H and 4.5K . there r few problems now like

1) I m doing only few km s every day since my coll is off on vacation. everyday i have starting trouble . i m using choke and using kicker to save the stating motor. as soon as start and leave it in idling the RPM is less than 1.5K but after 2 to 3 kms of ride the rpm is over 2k in idling with a huge engine sound and the oil sump and other outside parts of engine are very very hot such that it burns the skin(in 3kms). I have not checked the millege yet . I m afraid my millege would be very less

does any of it requires immediate attention of the SVC???

Yes! your engine abnormalities do need attention of SVC at the earliest.

hi guys...my gs is 14 days old and driven 114 km....while starting everyday the rpm is about 1500 or lesser.Once driven for some distance and then stopped....its rising to 2000 or 2500..sometimes when i ride around my streets at slow speed idling the rpm rises to 4000...what is the problem

@newfan, msb

Even i have faced this problem.
Do you get hammering sound in engine?? like some kadkad kadkad like sound?? It's not normal.
Is pickup of your bike ok?

In my bike i faced these problems, god knows what they did!!! though they told me they have changed block piston, crankshaft, bearings n almost everything in the engine, I still get this kadkad sound around 2500rpm.

If engine is normal, then tell SVC or any local mechanic to lubricate choke cable, it may have become rough and choke could remain ON resulting in high rpm after engine gets hot.

Vishnu never talked about other spark plug, he was talking about the black cap fitted on spark plug, also called Spark plug adapter.
I guess i need to see your bike ASAP.

TILL NOW BIKE IS GREAT WILL BE GREAT AHEAD TOO I JUST LOVE MY BABE !

@Vishnu: yeah, It's really not digestable. Spark Plug short that also cos of water!! I doubt it...cos, if you have observed any bajaj DTS-i engine tthe Spark plug on right side is situated in a hole and it tends to accumulate water in this hole in rains or when bike is washed.

I used to face this problem with my discover, but it never caused plug shorting.

I wonder how GS's spark plug can short with near vertical plug cap.

First issue on my GS

Hello friends i am facing the first issue with my GS-Front tire wobbling

Anyhow service manager assured that it will be replaced under warranty

for that i have to leave my GS in the SVC for a week because they dont have GS front tire so service manager told me that he will send my GS front tire for an inspection then they(MRF chennai) will give a replacement.
For this process it will take one week as the service manager said

,

Guys is this normal or do i need to search for some other way because i dont like to leave my GS with them for a week. please need your suggestion

Am also a cunsumer like you after reading your query this is what that strikes my mind.

tire will wobbly only if their is no air (puncture) or low air.

If that's not the case then it can't be a tire issue may be something strange on the front wheel.

May be front mag(alloy) wheel or some other component causing this.

Example once in my dads kinetic honda I replaced the punctured tire while fitting the tire I just put a big washer kind of thing on right side instead of left side, the wheel woobles due to missalignment.

Let us know what made him (SVC engineer) to conclude this as a tire fault.

Do one thing fit the tire in another GS or equivalent bike that goes with the same size tire, then drive it to see if it woobles or not to derermine is it a tire fault.

Yea but when i left both the hands while running then bike bends right side

and also when rotating the tire while bike is in center stand, tire rotates in zig-zag manner(no problem with wheel) so what the service manager conformed it as tire fault.

what an highly educated intelegent manager he is.....

When the bike is on center stand, tire is not seperated from the bike he rotated the wheel and tire is attached to the edge of the wheel thus the zig zak is visible on the tire.

Ask him to remove the tire and rotate the wheel alone he will find the same zig zak,
Once fixed in to the wheel tire won't go wrong on its own it will go and rotate as per the wheel.

If the tire is faulty it should be fault from day one

Ask him why their is no tire allignment center's only wheel allignment center's are there.

Thanks for the point, sure i will ask him. then what may be the reason that bike bends right side when i left both the hands(while running around 40kmph)

Wobling only at or above 40 kmph is something odd, can't say virtually as some one need to diagnose the bike to decide which component is the culprit.

It may be a small bush or alloy wheel bend(not sure does alloy wheel gets bent as I never heard of something like that), as always I would suggest you to meet a good local mechanic in 15 or 20 minutes they will tell you what exactly is the problem.

Hey Vishnu and other experts what's your view on this typical issue and the typical manager.

Today morning while driving on a small street, applied breaks to get better view of a enfield bullet.

Superb bullet but the sadist owner modified it with a TVS XL petrol tank

How cruel he is, did asked the owner he replied its just for fun and added that he did so to avoid some of his friends taking long drive on it.

There are two possibilities......and on the GS it is very common and overlooked.

1.For bike moving rightwards :
Misadjusted or overtightened Ball Racer adjustment.

2.For tyre rotating zig zag on central stand........misalignment of wheel or badly fitted tyre.

Incase of a bad tyre or a hole in the alloy, there would be constant loss of tyre pressure. Check the tyre pressure every week to confirm it, if pressure drops every week there is something definitely wrong with the tyre.

**vulcan** · 07-13-2011, 08:05 PM

Hey bro thanks a lot for your help i 'll make you understand & if necessary we will talk to mr. ganesh tawale for more knowledge, bro i will meet up with you soon exams going on now i will try to meet you this sunday afternoon if possible let me know. so you can check your bearing problem also but dude i have not raised the bike above 60kmph & iam not going to tioll i complete 2500kms. can you test that stuf of yours within that limit ?

mileage will check after 2500 kms as you said- about this problem will talk to you more & better meet up with mr. tawale so that we can understand what the real problem was !

Thank you guys, i just came from the SVC they asked me to come again tomorrow,
I will take your points in my mind and ask them tomorrow and report it back

I have a new problem, Now i cant Upshift gears at low speeds... Earlier, without any knocking, i used to move at 15kmph in thrid gear and simlar way for other gears as well, At sixth gear i could easily move at 30kmph..

Now, I cant ride in sixth gear below 40-45kmph, Simlarly cant ride in 15- 20kmph in third gear , If i shift, there's a huge knocking and finally the engine dies...

Where does the problem lies? Any settings have changed in my bike?

Check Tyre pressure ... if its OK then park bike on center stand and rotate rear wheel by hand.. if rear Tyre not rotating freely then break must be not adjusted properly, it may be too tight...

The chain is the culprit here!!!

EDIT: And also the loose clutch...
