you are correct Maestro, but 50 km drive I meant almost 10 km on city roads and 40 on highway i'e' from airoli link road to Belapur via Palm beach road..since the roads are good with less traffic in morning shall enjoy the ride..however in evening that shall not be the case..comfort in the sense i had driven on my previous discover 135 continuously 4 days on the above route and my arms and shoulders were paining for next four days

Damn...I envy you.....palm beach road.... I have to find reasons to go there....and also love seeing peoples faces when I overtake them at triple digits, sitting straight as if just chilling around at 60 sumthng.....

Hi All,

Today I Test Ride the Suzuki GS150R. Good pickup and very smooth engine.
I felt hard to change the gear may be I need to use to it. I thought the handling will not be very good, but after I rode this bike my thought has been changed. Very nice handling I was easily able to manage the traffic without any extra effort. Don't even feel that the bike is heavier one while riding. Feeling like driving a big bike. Very comfortable seating also seating position is good. Very nice engine, pulls the bike like a champ. I easily able to go in 30km/h in 6th gear with no hiccups at all. Over all I satisfied with the bike, so immediately I booked a white color GS150r. Actually I went to the showroom just to test ride the bike, I don't even had the thought to book, but once I test ride the bike I amazed, so immediately I booked one. Waiting for my angel. Thanks all of u for your valuable inputs.

Congrats bro.....

Test drive

I test drive GS yesterday in SMK showroom chennai. i take a test drive on demo bike only.. ride is very nice. while driving i didn't find out that i am driving 150kg bike. it is smooth..

but the gear shifting is some what harder to shift.

suspension is nice. the bike looks like a beast.. i am going to book my gs black at this month end only.. so i am waiting for the day..

**SparKot** · 12-04-2011, 09:39 AM

Beast

precisely.
My sincere salute(hat's off) to few smart and ardent GS owners who bought it first and educated us.
Although there're several bikes which are appealing to specific segments, GS addresses commu-tourers.

On a different note, I think the GS community has suffered a great loss with the ban imposed on vishnukmd, due to some misunderstandings here on this thread.

As members of this forum, let us learn from this incidence and see to it that such incidences do not plague the forum in the future and let us make this forum a place to share knowledge and not grudge.

Kindly go to the first page of this forum and fill in your details in the GS150R Owners list. There are only 31 people's names showing there

I have stated it before buddy. I am not(yet) an owner but a mere user.

- are you one of the forum moderators? you can't be.
- How do you know there is a ban? How long will it be?

I like arguments which are balanced, for only then we're compelled to think.

OMG! Why is vishnu banned?..Really loss for this thread..Hope its limited duration ban.

Today i was shocked when my key broke into 2 peices.

I the thought keys are very hard material and hard to cut. It just broke into 2 peices so easily when closing the tank mouth.However i applied little force but not as much that it should cut. The hard part was one part of the key was inside the tank lock. Finally removed it out using a knife.

That's shocking,

Usually on xbhp mods used to warn first before a ban but this one sounds wierd,

Vishnu bhai hope you are reading this.

Relax take rest but remember to comeback asap once the ban gets lifted.

In all langauge every sentence makes more than 2 meanings.

#######

Fueled almost more than 60 days back

10 ltr fuel
350 kms
Yes 35 kmpl

But am happy coz it also covered 60 days and the usage is 90 % local 1 or 2 kms trips

From the last few postings, I think his was not his arrogance. Someone used some filthy words against him and he retaliated. You may not have read those postings.
I am Punarvasu and came through this thread yesterday morning while searching to find a remedy for a problem of my bike. My GS150R is more than 20K kms old. A metallic hitting sound is heard from the chain cover even after adjusting the chain slackness. The chain and sprockets is in good condition and is frequently lubed.
Any solution for it?

You can easily replace it if you know how to do it. Look here:

It is made of hard brittle compound. Be careful as breaking the other key will lead to replacing the ignition key, steering lock, fuel tank cap and seat lock.

No, I am not a moderator.

I just checked his page due to inactivity and was shocked to see the word Banned! Let's hope that it's a limited period ban.
