  • Fella's, I have booked an orange GS yesterday. But I am having 2nd thoughts about the colour now. The bike does look good in orange but i seldom see that on road ... any particular reason for it ? How about changing to black ? till date i have seen jus 1 guy buy the orange in Xbhp.

      • @donarun: I have an orange GS, and it is totally worth it. Don't worry about seeing the color on road, that way yours will be the unique one

            Where do you get them from? I don't think Amway products are available in shops?

              Yea running a bit busy these day, spent some time with my friend's new 180 s thought to share some toughts with you all people.

              I have completed 4600KM till, got my frist small scratch as well when I sliped with my bike on dry sand, rest its running as good as it can be.

              BTW how may GS owners are now on xbhp any idea???

                • Can anyone please provide me the reviews about the service provided at Suzuki service centers in Pune.
                  I am planing to buy a GS150R but concerned about the after sales service in Pune.
                  Also, which color would suit the bike best......i personally favor black

                    Nice! I think Shadowfax, Abhi, Animeher etc. can help you with this.
                    My personal favorite is the grey...amazing color.

                      And for bulb fitting, how much extra did he take? I prefer to give the bulb to the service center itself to fit it.
                      Yes. Even i too felt 160 is steep. Paid 30 Rs. as fitting charges. But purchased it as it seemed Genuine and i heard there are fakes available in the Market as well. Can't comment right now if there is any improvement as i have not gone out late night. Did go out yesterday but returned before 9 PM and rode on roads which had street lighting and vehicles coming from the opposite end with their headlights on. So, couldn't make out if it's worth it or no.

                        Brightness seems OK. Did not get a chance to check it during the night.
                        Reason : Please check my previous Post.

                          I purchased my GSR from Swargate Suzuki. Have completed first servicing.
                          Service is nothing to boast about. It's Ok. They do patiently listen to your concerns during Service but whether they are able to fix it or no, depends on your Luck.

                          Personally, i prefer Grey and Orange. Black is way too common. The Bluish Green is different and unique but personally i did not like it.

                          Sagar aka ShadowFax got it from Kothrud Suzuki. He can give his views about it.

                          • Guys,

                            Today, i too got the Radium work done on the Tyres.
                            Color : White.
                            Place : Gajanan Arts [Same Place from where Sagar got it done]
                            Price : 80 Rs.
                            End Result : Awesome.

                            First went to Sagar Washing Center for a Wash but unfortunately there were no Lights. So, went to the Radium Shop and got the Work done. Then went to the Washing Center and gave it a nice Bath and Polish. Charges are 40 Rs. for Washing and 50 Rs. for Polish.

                            They really do a very Good Job. The Product used for Polish was Jopasu. Neat work.

                            Here are the contact numbers if anybody needs it :

                            Sagar Auto Center
                            020-25411309
                            9822330420

                            Will post Pics later as the Digicam Battery is recharging right now.

                            @ Sagar :

                            Thanx Buddy for recommending the Place. It was worth the Visit and the long travel that i had to do. He did tell me that he did the same work on a similar bike a couple of days ago. Then i told him that i came on your reference. Nice chap.

                            @ All :

                            I apologize for so many Posts of mine as i could not find a way to reply to all of your Posts in a single Post. I guess that is Multiquote. I tried it but did not get it.
                            I would appreciate if somebody could help me with this.

                            • Hehehehe, multiquoting is an art. I'll tell you how I do it:
                              Step 1: Open Notepad

                              Step 2: Click on one person's message to quote

                              Step 3: Select his message, paste it into Notepad, like this:

                              Be sure to copy the open and close quote brackets, else it won't appear the way you want it to.

                              Step 4: After his end quote, type your message under it. No need of quote brackets for your message.

                              Step 5: Copy next person's message in the same way&paste under what you typed.

                              Hope you understood what I'm saying.
                              Btw, why did you give the bike a wash after the stickering was done?

                                @abhi_gsr : Just click on the "Multi-quote this message" icon next to the quote icon for all the msgs u want to quote.

                                And then finally hit "Reply"

                                And u r done.
                                When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)
