Nice trick buddy(the garland), will get a chance to try it soon enough

I'm feeling a difference in performance in my GS after 6.5k kms...

Engine feels free to rev.. Super smooth...

Idle engine noise has little increased.. But no DOK DOK DOK noise seen while riding...

Been riding only in city limits with good speeds and getting a very good average..

for whoever it matters: Reading up on spark plugs, I found that the heat ranges aren't the exact same between any 2 companies...Im not talking about the heat range numbering\nomenclature......but the the behaviour of 2 spark plugs for the same heat range from different companies is different because of minute construction differences based on market preferences.

Also, manufacturers, it seems, usually recommend an allrounder plug taking into account its sure working in a wide range of applications....i.e. bottom line for the manufacturer is that the plug must not fail under most operating conditions. In this respect, it seems we have room for experimentation with a slightly hotter or colder plug(or other variables like tip material, electrode layout etc) to get best operation depending on our type of usage.

So, I guess the champion plug is not to be looked at with suspicion just because its a bit colder. I was recommended the cpr6hsa as well at one of the stores on JC road saying that it wont make much of a difference for daily use. I declined since I run the bike at high rpms and didnt want a hotter plug to make things even more hot. Any comments on this?

@gagan: yes. Lot means wherever in the showroom they store the vehicles. You get to pick your vehicle dont you? Go to a showroom that lets you pick it. Everything will happen before you eyes only.

When I got my bike, i used it for a week with shining and empty plates. No one caught me for nothing. But that may have been just my luck. When I did get my numbers, the SC guy chided me for riding around without even a 'for regn' sign or temp numbers. Riding without numbers is probably a serious offense though, because you can easily get way with any crime on an empty plate.

Hi I have been facing a small issue for the past 2 months. When i ride GS, my right shoulder has a unbearable pain. 2 of my friends told the same when they took my bike. And i doesn't pain much when i drive other bikes (Unicorn or CBZ).

Do i need to lower the handle a little towards me ?

Try and revert if found fruitless.

Wouldn't there be handling issues if he tries to change the handlebar?

There seems to be some sort of misalignment! Did you had any recent minor accidents? or bike fell etc?

Unconsciously everyone riding your bike is pushing right handle to keep the bike steady straight on road!

just my thoughts...

Gave my 10.5k run GS for 5th service today..
Actually today my SVC is Unveiling Swish and hence were very reluctant to accept my bike for servicing but somehow I convinced them.

The cost difference between access and swish is just 750INR and 2 months waiting period.
I asked about Hayate and they are not sure when they are getting the bike and told it would be 5k less than slingshot..

Just check both hands are of at same height/reach when holding the handle bar..

If not then your handle bar might have had bent/misalignment which causes the pain..

As punarvasu said just try lowering the handle bar...Mark the current position, lower a little towards the rider and ride it for some 10kms.. Dont lower it too much,, cables will scratch the tank while taking turns..

Experience it and adjust if required.. If nothing suits you, head to SVC and show them your bike, if it had bent they'll help you for sure...

I have replaced my spark plug in lasts service in Saboo Suzuki SVC@Hyd. They just replaced stock plug with champion P-RZ9HC spark plug(73 Rs).
I think NGK is not in supply.

As per the NGK catalogue SouthAfrica version, Champion P-RZ9HC is the equivalent plug to NGK CR7HSA. I couldn't find NGK CPR7HSA in the catalogue. Catalogue is available on NGK SA site.

when i replaced my spark plug they gave cpr6hsa plug its recommended as per manual but i felt the performance to be not that good compared to previous plug cpr7hsa

Suzuki Motorcycles


guys refer the above link the spark plug for our bike is CHAMPION P-RZ9HC so i hope suzuki changed it


even honda unicorn also shares the same plug

Bad tyres !

Hello Experts...

Had very bad experience with gs150 tyres they are really pathetic and not at all stable on roads with sand thrown over and even on wet roads... we don't get control

.. Can anyone suggest better tyres for my GS150 ? I was thinking to replace it with the P180's or P220's ...any suggestions greatly appreciated.


Regards,
Upen

go for ceat but life of ceat tyres is less... else go for mrf moto c.... etc models
