i got a pen as a gift.. only a pen.. pple in chennai got t-shirts too..

Hee Hee Many got only T-Shirts in chennai too.... Since i gave a detailed view about this bike the India service manager got impressed with it and gave me the pen (The japanese guy gave me the t-shirt)

Why were u asking these details man? Are u trying to get a comparison of GS with any other bike?

Hi there.. I wanted to know the mileage of CBZ Xtreme as compared to GS. I mean, if CBZ Xtreme gives about 2-3kmpl less than GS then I would rather go with CBZ Xtreme but if it is about 6-10kmpl less then I will opt for GS. Anyone ??

heyy guys.. today few japanese engrs and suzuki indian mgmt pple came to apple auto, bangalore to meet GS customers.. some 10 cutomers were selected to talk to the suzuki reps.. as i was one of the pain in the asses for the SVC guys, they called me to meet these guys..
told them abt following things-
1). not enough bright headlight..
2). slug rear brakes..
3). the electrical start switch had some loose connections for me(which i got replaced instantly)..
4). the 3.5-4k rpm engine roughnes..
5). sometimes the engine feels choked as if there is no petrol..(no answer for it yet)..
they themselves started askin me hows it compared to unicorn.. and i gave them a detailed desc.. suggested them to bring GS in few more colors.. i got a pen as a gift.. only a pen.. pple in chennai got t-shirts too..
the jap engrs took test rides of all the vehicle and i was told tht they will look into the 3.5-4k rpm issue.. they got similar reports from all the places.. so they want to see whether its a drawback of vehicle or it was a problem with a specific assembly line.. told me that they will contact me asap.. then they had a stress test of the vehicle.. a heavy pillion on slope and uphill and stuff..
these guys did a tour frm hyd, guntur, coimbatore, chennai and then they came to banglore.. and it was their last stop.. one of them was quite impressed by Mr. Mathew from chennai and i think he is on XBHP..

Yes buddy!!!
Me too brought out lot of issues (including the vibes @ 3.k to 4k RPM) but i was extremely polite to them in all possible ways.

Since this bike is new, it may have a lot of issues. I strongly believe that if v customers are cooperative to Suzuki people (Even let it be a low level mechanic), v will be rewarded with the best service n consideration.

I believe, that as a proud owner, i too should contribute some ideas and opinions in improving the quality n service of this bike.

So, i am not at all worried about the issues in my bike when a good consideration is offered by Suzuki

well.. i cant say i was extremely polite with them.. but i wasnt aggressive either.. v had a casual discussion.. i was impressed by the way those guys listed negatives, talked abt the positives, discussed abt other competitors, possible enhancements in the product, market strategy etc etc.. i mean they really meant business.. n they were discussin all this markettin discussion with a novice customer lik me..
n one of them showed me your business card as one more enthusiastic customer.. but as i wasnt sure of ur full name i couldnt say that i know this person..

Hmmmm!
Now u know
I also invited him to join XBHP thread...
Suzuki people from delhi seems to be very helpful and they update me when they visit Chennai
One of of the Indian person whom i invited earlier told me that many fetish comments r being posted either n it is hard for him to get along being a major part of suziki... Since i am only around this thread i am not much aware of this issue. Anyway as far as this thread is considered, people r much matured and sensible in our thread

Ya i can understand how odd it is when they talk off topic, But one thing i really inspire Japanese people, they work efficiently even-though they r not good @ communicating. Had a nice time with these guys n took snaps too.. But one of the Japanese requested not to upload those

Guys please suggest me good bulb..... reading overall forum, I listed these-

1) Philips made in Germany 55/60w
2) that Orsam thing (i dun remember model)

or any other suggestion ??

Sagar, is the electrical system DC...??

Hey Inder, nothing is changed or modified.. all is as it is. (sorry, im bad at electricals. but as far as i know, there is no already DC electrical system in GS)
