    One thing is clear from this. The guy (onkar) who posted those white gs150r images first on facebook was genuine. Poor guy, he got scolded with bad words for spreading rumors.

    Also, he even correctly mentioned about the launch in October. How did he know this?

    He had also mentioned changes in exhaust can, so i am assuming that too could be true.

    • Yippieee the wait is over....Suzuki heard my wishes......finally the awkward height between the headlight and the mudguard looks fuller now.....as the black vent thing is gone which made the headlamp a little bit lifted.....





      Also for onkar it was just his luck that he got to the place where the white GS was kept....nothing more than that......also hope there is change in exhaust can too.....

          Ask your friend to hold the vehicle and you tried to press the back seat to get shock absorbers in to action you will hear the same sound.

          SVC will fix the issue for you

          After reaching 45 kmph the wind noise and momentum of the vehicle (you will ride at 45 only if the road is good, and work for shocks is less) make the noise disappear

          • As far as I have noticed....cosmetic changes
            Rear body panels design
            Rear brake light(somewhat smaller as compared to old one)
            Front headlight cowl
            Side panels design
            Front shocks colour
            The RVM's
            Full body graphics change

            And as far as I have heard/read....
            Width is increased
            Wheelbase decreased
            Exhaust cam change


            Any thing apart from this?

                      Our old cowl gave its macho look bro but the new one isn't
                      One small observation that i made on the new GS the "6 speed" is written behind the fuel gauge is not cool We had nice chrome like fiber finish in our old bikes there which looked better

                      • Have a look in flesh...you will love it more....and regarding the 6 speed sticker....you can put it on the black fiber part....so no issues...

                        • The new middle piece increases the overall flow between the tank and the rear panels

                            They took the multiple smaller parts of the side panel and merged it into one bigger part.

                            Also, the multiple smaller parts of the front cowl too have been merged into one bigger part.

                            This makes it easier for the service mechanic to remove and fit the parts back again.

                            • But, the downside to it is that if any part of the bigger piece is damaged then the whole chunk needs to be replaced.

                                I dont think they would want to make it full DC, especially for a commuter bike.

                                If the bike is full DC, then a lot of functions depend on the battery and Rectifier-regulator (RR). Even main headlight will depend on battery.

                                If the battery goes off/spoils, then even the headlight will not work and bike will become unusable in dark.

                                I have a doubt: Will TPS allow engine to work with a spoilt/discharged battery ?
