The rule of thumb is that keeping the bike around 40% of red line RPM keeps the engine running with least stress.

I think for GS150R it should be around 3-4.5k RPM. Keep it there and your cylinder kit will be good as new for years. Anything lower is a stress on the cylinder kit even though it does not knock. Knocking only means extreme stress and serious damage. Anything above that engine will be gasping for oil.

If you are cruising or need good acceleration keep it near its peak torque region.

Very good explanation buddy. Thank you very much.

According to this report - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/848...akh-bikes.html

Suzuki sold 14,000 units of GS150R in first three months...

How many are on Xbhp ?? Just 20-30 ??

C'on guys, get a life...

wow thats impressive
I still have a doubt that how these big machines run in our Indian roads... especially GSX1300R(touches 190kmph in first gear)

I think GSX600R may be suitable to our decent highways

Help needed

I am unable to view my profile pic in my posts... what should i do for that?

Ha HA... Found it.... its the avatar

Yeah buy the Pulsar! hehehe...

I dont want to be a one among the thousands out there

please edit your post

i dont have an RPM meter. Speedo meter is not the best benchmark to change gears, as road incline, carrying load matters which gear u ride in... I would suggest, keep an ear on engine sound, anything other than smooth, change the gear. Dont wait for the engine to start jerking...

Taking all your posts in the right spirit , will try to alter my driving habits..

another thing i noted yesterday when driving was that , the gear throw (if this exactly is the word to describe) is longer than other indian bikes.. as mathew pointed out , think its different from others...

when i shift gears i hear two distinct clicks or engagement.. i think that why i find it difficult to shift gears down... i have started hitting the lever hard and i find downshifting is better... point to remember i suppose..

but, when my cousin came here day before yesterday, he rode the bike and started laughing.. he said.. "dei.. it is not a bike.. this is a piaggio share auto.. hear the noise.. "

best advice...

I had few problems in using remote lock buddy.
1. Suddenly the remote lock stops working. I tried several times. It didn't work. The next day morning, i give a final try. I heard a slight sound from it. But didn't work. So i took it to xenos showroom. I parked my bike in the parking lot and checked it. It worked flawlessly. Strange. I asked the showroom guy to check whether it has any loose contacts. After analysing my bike. He said there is no loose contacts. If you face similar problems again just remove the connector pin. Blow it and connect it back. After that incident. I didn't face that problem again.
2. One day my friend enquired about the remote lock. I just switched on the ON/OFF button just to show a demo on it. I forgot to switch it back to off position. That is the biggest mistake i've ever done in my life. After that when i used the start button, my bike moved a bit and fell on another bike. Now i am riding my bike with few bumps and scratches on my tank. I enquired about changing the tank. They said it'll cost around 4000 rupees. You can claim insurance. But it'll take one week to get your bike back with the new tank.
It is purely my mistake. I don't know what to do. Whether to claim insurance or spend 4000 bugs or to keep my bike as it is. Remote lock feature is quite good. But don't forget to fix a button to control remote start feature. keep it always off. Don't ever turn it on. Please learn from my experience.

Suggestions are welcomed

Yes buddy, he is right. Sometimes it sounds similar to share auto.

man, hw did ur bike move man???? Was that in gear??? If yes, ur xenos relay won't simply allow to start the bike instead it will just give 5 flashes from the flashers!!!! indicating that ur gear is engaged!!! Am i right????

Hi karthic, i too have the same xenos remote lock with immobilizer,My mechanic(showroom) warn me that one of the wire not conntected(bcos he don't know where to connect,he told me to bring later meantime he will learn where to connect ),so it will start even in gear if u use remote start......So i use it occassionally and very carefully...When i went after 2 months he told he learn it and if connect it properly but not using wiring diagram they given with remote,it won't start in geared postion, i am going to do that while i give for second service at 3000Km(my odo 2700km now)...If u need help give ur number i will call from mechanic place, he told to help in that matter....

regarding sound like share auto, i also heard this sound from some omni bus tooo
