I am using HID for high beam[round reflector Head lamp] and Bumper Lamps for Low Beam


No problems in city as well as on high ways

Having completed 30000 kays. My GS is ready for a tire change and a host of other mods. Mods i would like to have are A good fairing with a decent projector and good provision for RVMs ie mirrors on the fairing which give a 360 degree view, HID setup, K&N with Upjetting.

Suggestions please.
I appeal to Mach50. your suggestions would be really nice. since you have done more than half of this.

New bike from Suzuki?

Hi GS-ians

I am very much impressed with GS150R. I was previously interested in Hero Moto HUNK, but after going through your discussions here, I have changed ma mind.

First of all I wanted to know whether SUZUKI is planning to upgrade GS150R or launch new bike in 150cc or 180cc segment

Secondly, I wanted to know if the current 2011 batch bikes have any modifications or improvements in GS150R (like new graphics, color combinations) in comparison to the previous 2009-10 bikes.

Also, I don't see many GS150Rs around here in Hyderabad, can anyone guess why?(This is one of the reasons I am inclined toward this bike, its not Omnipresent)

whats gs150r1

Suzuki Motor Two Wheelers, Motorcycle Spare Parts Manufacturing Company India

I guess many would have visited the website above before, but have you noticed the gs150r1 in the link.

What is that 1? Should we assume there is going to be a gs150r2 soon??

High time we got a lighter 150cc bike with rear disk and kicker too from suzuki, but it should be priced within 80k on-road bangalore, the costliest city in terms of road tax.

@antonysg

bro that link was a old one..the bike shown is not the latest model in the market even..the update to that model was the all "new GS150R" which had new graphics and some other small changes..

the suzuki showroom people keep giving different stories about a new bike every time I ask them. so no one really knows.

What i was told that there are 2 new vehicles for launch. One bike with front and back disk along with FI(does not mean new model GS). it may have a whole different name and a access type two wheeler slightly more power with disks as well.

i am quoting above from what the service manager told me. I dont want to promote or demote anything.

My views are that there is nothing on the horizon for change.

This link is since 8th February, 2009. So Its just the name gs150r1. No New GS150R expected

A new 2012 GS150R expected at the end of 2011


Dude, there is a new 2012 GS150R expected at the end of this year.
You can find spy pics of the new bike here Throttle: 2012 Suzuki GS150R - First Spy Shots

Well those photos are not on just throttlequest, they are on almost all auto websites. Those have been discussed in this forum in the past. Many think it is a fake. No official word from suzuki yet. If they had a new bike, it would have been in the market by now.

They would not delay launch, because suzuki needs to boost sales, as they right now are languishing in the bottom in terms of sales, just above mahindra 2-wheelers.

Also, honda has currently stopped supply of dazzler since August 2011. Showroom says they stopped production currently. Because of absence of kickstart, dazzler was not selling much. The next batch of dazzler is expected only in 2012. Seems like honda might give dazzler a kickstart option. Even yamah SZ-R is going to get kickstart shortly. If dazzler and SZ-R get kickstart, gs150r sales will further decrease.

Suzuki needs to bring a lighter Gs150r sporty-commuter with the same gs150r engine and seating posture, but the bike should have rear disc and kicker. With SZ-R, yamaha has shown that a 150cc sporty-commuter can be made as light as 132 kg kerb weight. A 150cc bike with rear disc brake and kicker would be great, even if it weighed 140 kg.

hey dude these are all stale news for all of us all these have been on this thread & this what u are talking about seems only to be a sticker job & paint job done but when u see 2 bikes with same design still i would say even if Suzuki is launching a new gs & if it is this then it is only a graphic job because i don't see rear discs nor any other specially seen effects except color. & my friend i also fell in love with this babe but with the advice of Vishnu (u will know who soon) took the bike cause these rumors are on from a a yaar now if i m not wrong , i was told the new would come in feb so i waited for whole new one but got frustrated with those dreams every night & so now i am still happy because i just rocks !

nothing else completed 2k nothing special how are all u guys?

MACh : i couldn't spot any difference with our handlebar & ur new bar maybe i'll understand only when i ride !
Vishnu where are u ?
MAdhu: long time huh?
Mazaid: are u back?
guys i don't know why but when my bike is wet completely in rains i find gear shifts utterly smooth !!

Dr. Arul but i feel that the light is very focused, but I'll tell you practical experiences talk a lot more than what looks like ! so if u say i must have been but i am here for that mileage thing you were going to tell us your secrets please i want to have mileage like you
my riding is 30 kms everyday 70% on highways & rest in city so i have only one start & stops sometimes 2-3 at signals as i go in morning these too are sometimes missed, i drive at ECO mode on highways at speeds ranging from 58-68 kmph
now i had filled fuel of 4lts. from a know pump(doesn't cheat seen myself) also i gave bike for 2nd service between. these trip . i filled in petrol when the last dot on fuel meter started blinking then i rode & after 180kms it started blinking again though fuel was not over . in this trip i had 2 traffic snarls where i had to do 1-2 gears on highway ! also for almost 60kms i rode with my mom myself weighing 82kgs & mom must be above 65kgs . so is this mileage of around 45kmpl approx. satisfactory because i want more.

please help me .
aslo i am gonna puchase that mileage tester can which u purchased for rs.110. that will give me accurate readings!

First of all for running HID unit safely you need to upgrade the electricals, that is you have to convert the stock AC/DC electricals to full DC.

Next, this full DC conversion can be done in two ways- the easy way but I doubt its long term reliability and the complicated way with proven reliability.

The easy way can be well-explained by Firegun, since he did it ok.
The complicated way can be well-explained by Vishnukmd and by me, since we did it ok.

For my way of Full DC conversion, you have to rewind the coil well, draw two wires from the armature coil instead of the stock single and connect it to an able rectifier.The Rectfier gets connected to the Battery, inturn, the circuit which previously used AC current has to be connected to the battery through ignition.Thats all.Done.........now this can be better explained in details.A good wiring mechanic can do the fantastic job only by these words though.

Then you should buy one 4300-4500K Bixenon HID unit H4 and replace the stock bulb with it.The ballast can fit well within the fairing housing of the GS.

If you plan to use the projector, then you need to replace the stock reflector.Then you should look for a two-way projector that can work for both Hi-Lo beams( some car acessories shop may have it).The Pulsar 220 Projector used in the market is meant for low beams only.

Second,if you are planning to use KN air-filter, then please use it inside the air-box and not outside it.
This can be done in a clever way without much hue and cry.All you need to get is one total air-filter set up found on the RTRs and Fieros.Then you need to do is to get the RC1060 KN filter which is meant for any vehicle and plonk it on the plastic intake Top-cap of the detachable air-filter system of TVS.Then you can place the KN filter inside the metal harness and fasten the KN attached plastic intake top-cap to the metal harness.This system replaces the stock GS air-cleaner system totally.The KN would provide more breathing for the bike and the intake note is high than stock.A marginal performance gain can be detected at and above mid-range rpms.At lower rpms the bike would feel more free than stock.

Third, if you are planning to upjet, then I think, it is not necessary.
Remember our GS150R already runs a stock 110 size Mikuni main-jet which is perhaps the biggest main-jet among all carbureted 150cc bikes made in India.
The 110 size Mikuni mainjet powered the carburetor of the Pulsar 200 and its equivalent Keihen 125 powers Karizma's carburetor.So, what would happen is that the GS with bit more air-flow at high rev ranges would breathe easy and would be smoother than stock.
However if you really want to rejet, use the Pulsar 220 mainjet, which is 115 Mikuni mainjet and is next to 110, but I think the mileage would suffer then along with low top speed and rpm climb.

Thats all from me.

@Vulcan: Yes it is much lower than the stock GS handlebar and compliments stability under hard braking and also the overall handling and stability of the bike.Riding feels totally different for real.

Thanks ..........True,though I am satisfied but it pales quickly to not much This thirst would continue unless I put another Suzuki of 1300cc alongside it in my garage Which I hope would happen soon

The GS150R2 is the 2010 model which I ride, the GS150R1 was the first model of the GS150R.

The GS150R may get a facelift and updated engine though the exact specifications remain unknown.

The speculated pictures all over the web and mags are custom made GS150Rs which were test mules of the factory for something new, but that something new is more than this I believe.

The GS150R would be updated as the CB Dazzler was updated from the CB Unicorn,I hope.Two models GS150Rs would be sold side by side with the older model lower in numbers I feel.

Does the ECO and POWER modes really make any differences..if so wat r they

Guyz, is that suxuki contact page not working? I got mail delivery failure after i sent

Dazzler production currently has been stopped. Next batch of dazzler, possibly with kickstart, is expected only in 2012. Cb-unicorn has a long waiting period of 4 months. After yamaha FZ-S, the SZ-R may come with kickstart shortly too. This is the right time for suzuki to bring in its new lighter gs150r or totally new bike, whatever it is. It is now or never for suzuki.

P150, unicorn, CBZ, hunk, and Gs150r are all too heavy for a 150cc engine; power-to-weight ratio is less. The market is shifting towards ligher bikes, like SZ-R, which has lots of plastic/fiber parts but is still durable too.

I dont understand suzuki's attitude; they are not bothered about updating their bikes and not bothered about what features customers want (like rear disk, full DC, or monoshock). Even featurs like selfstart, alloy wheels, disc brake, digital speedo, LED tailamp, full DC, etc, were all first introduced in India by bajaj and TVS; and honda and suzuki only follow them. Honda and suzuki seem to say "This is what we give you, take or leave it."

A full DC set-up on a normal 150cc bike was first done by Yamaha on their FZ16, then the new-gen UG4 Pulsar 150s got it from Bajaj.

The basic 150cc segment seldom finds a full DC set-up from the OEMs.

Suzuki does wonderfully well by selling CBU imports and Scooters even in India.
Suzuki leads the CBU market in India........so definitely they make a lot of profits too !!!

But then, they should also bring out something for the power hungry common folks.This needs is best understood by Bajaj.

We can only suggest Suzuki, not make them understand-which they would do on their own realisation.They already screwed up their commuter motorcycle portfolio by launching bikes at first which people did not expect of them and then launching the real deal much later when people neglected them.
Now to avoid stagnation, they should make their own way and bring a 180cc bike above their good 150cc offering and below their much awaited 250cc.
The 100cc would appeal to a very different segment of people, but I doubt if Suzuki would be sucessful at it.Just look at the 100cc segment of Yamaha.....people do not expect dull commuters from Suzuki and Yamaha.But still its good to cover the entire market and neglect none of the segments.

Best of luck to Suzuki if they are on that path.
