GS was not available without booking recently and even the SlingShot is not in stock here now and it is due to the strike. It has affected the production of the bikes and scooter.

Ya vishnu u r correct.Slingshot for orange color had 20 days waiting while suzuki acess has 60 days waiting..this showroom had officially put on thier notice board.

Congrats dude. Which colour did you book??

hi, are you using hid or higher watt bulb. I am unable to switch to dc as the dealer does not have the gasket with them. A mechanic was telling me that the gasket is bound to break/tear when you try to remove the coil. How much did you pay for the rewinding job. Also, did you do the wiring yourself? I guess you are using ape rr, right? Thanks, Raj

The bulb is Osram Night Breaker 55/60 watt halogen. If the gaskets are not available there, ask a good local mechanic. He may be able to help you.
Everything including the rewinding was done by me and, though not easy, it is not a hazardous job as some others think.
My first attempt was with 19 swg wire. Then did it with 18 swg with more turns which 350 grams of wire resulted bulging and touching the rotor.
Lastly, wound again with 18 swg wire with 8 turns on the first layer and 7 on the next layers, total coming to 54-56 turns in 8 layers on each pole.

If you plan to make the bike full DC, my advice is to do everything yourself. In case you need any assistance, please mail to [email protected]

Gaskets needed.

For Access, it is 6-7 months here.

Find out Yamaha YZF R15 HERE and feed the following specifications of GS in the CURRENT columns. (Special thanks to ShivaHyd).
Primary reduction ratio: 3.476
Tyre size: 100/90/18.
Final drive ratio: 14/41.
Chain pitch: NA (give 0)
Chain links: NA (it is 124)
1st gear ratio: 33/11
2nd “: 28/16
3rd “: 26/20
4th “: 24/22
5th “: 22/23
6th”: 20/24
Now click the ‘CURRENT’ button and compare the two bikes.
This does not mean GS is better than R15 but consider the difference in prices too.

The first and second gear ratios are modified as 33/12 and 29/15 in the new GS. The final drive ratio now is 3.00 (42/14), the same ratio of R15.

Who is afraid of Virginia woolf (R15)?

The first and second gear ratios are modified as 23/12 and 29/15 in the new GS. The final drive ratio now is 3.00 (42/14), the same ratio of R15.

Technically the new gs150r seems to be in par with the R15 but keeping other factors like aerodynamics etc in check, it still has a long way to go.

wow you are good. I dont have the guts to do the rewinding myself. Those pics of gaskets will be really helpful. I will contact you for help with the wiring after I do the rewinding job. Mechanics say that gaskets of other bikes cant be used. So i will have to wait for the gaskets to arrive. Thanks for your help. Raj

I put The first and second gear ratios are of new GS150R as 33/12 [Not 23/12] and 29/15 and the final drive ratio as 3.00 (42/14), the same ratio of R15. The results I got from the website I put in the pdf file below. Pl check it out

Extremely sorry, Rajesh. It is typing mistake. Thanks for pointing it out. It is edited.

It is a bit difficult to digest. I don’t think covering something with pieces of fibre sheets is aerodynamics. More than that, GS is one of the best bikes with less air resistance. Sorry to disagree with you, unless you prove your statement scientifically.
But now too I am not claiming that GS is better than R15.

Only error I find in this calculation is that the 4000 RPM speed is showing as 46 to 47 kilometres in the website with these particular parameters. The speed should be closer to 56 - 57

Request the experts to please clarify

The most important part is winding the coil with correct wire in correct turns. That is why I asked you to wind it yourself.
Please contact before you or the mechanic starts the rewinding.

Sorry bro, but yamaha beat me to it a long time ago.
If you disagree then tell me the name of any 150cc segment bike that can do a whooping 135Kmph stock and am not talking about speedo indications here.

Anyways I think the GS150R's way better than R15 personally or anyother indian bike below the 220cc mark. Cause am not talking about raw performance but reliability too, its the same reason I recommended one of my friends to get one.

Please clarify

At 4000 rpm it shows 55.3 kmh in 6th gear with new the specifications and 56.6 with the earlier. Check the specifications again.
