Tuned my Carb following the Tuning Guide

Finally, i figured out that the bigger screw above was the Idling Screw.
Set out with my First ever Carb Tuning DIY.
Raised the idling to 3000 rpm and then turned the Fuel Screw clockwise till Lock.
Messed up the rotations count. So, not sure how much was it originally set to.
Next, lowered the idling to around 1000 rpm.
Now, turned the Fuel Screw Anti-clockwise.
Turned it till 4 Rotations Anticlockwise but still the rpm was around 1100 only.
Turned it 2 more times to around 6. By this time, the Screw was about to come out. Still, the rpms were only around 1100 - 1200.
I thought i messed up some where and started the whole process again.
Now, while turning the Fuel Screw Anticlockwise, turned it till ~ 3.6 Rotations.
Still, rpms were hovering around 1200.
Turned the Idling Screw and brought to exact 1500 rpms.
Engine noise was sounding regular and stable.

Now went through both the Tests.
Raised the Throttle twice till 7 RPM and let it fall down. Both times, it stopped exactly at 1500 Rpm. First Test Successful.

Started the 2nd Test. Tested till 5th Gear. Rear Wheel was rotating freely without any Jerks with uniform engine noise.

Tuning seems OK to me but am not sure since after turning the Fuel Screw anticlockwise the RPM's did not rise to 1500 RPM, as per the Tuning Guide.

So, now my Fuel Screw is set at ~3.6 Rotations Anticlockwise [2009 Model].
Went for a small Ride of 2 Kms and after coming back, Idling was at exact 1500 RPM.

Guys, please post your thoughts and suggestions.

Buddy which bulb is this, is it direct fit to GSR. If it is where can i get it .

yes its a direct fit.

Its same as the default one, the only difference is this is ultra blue. so it penetrate better and bit brighter

Name of the bulb Halonix HS1 12V 35/25 Ultrablue
Its available in almost all local automobile shop
cost is rupees 100 to 120

Today i finally got my 1st service done. Bike's performance seems better. But the engine noise has increased and so is the vibrations. Strangely, the SVC did not clean the carburator, says not to fiddle with it until any problem arises, just cleaned some pipe on it.

While coming back, i asked a couple of traffic cops about the white headlight. They said its not banned. i live in mumbai, but the traffic rules should be different in bangalore either.

great video..arish...

@ madhu

Great pictures ..... I was keeping this bulb for long time ,thought not much performance ,But you light me
Yes as u told careful with visor bush ,as it not up to the quality... therefore have pulsar visor bush in hand(but it won't avail separate, with screw and bush only,though cheap)......My mech everytime screwed by this bush ,and told me Come with Pulsar Bush if u need pilot or headlamp replacement

SO when i go for 1st() service( after B&P replacement)..I will change the bulb too and post with how it looks with TWIN LED(matching LED and HEADLAMP)......

MoDs on GS150r

hi guys,
the second best tourer with the fairing of best tourer :-D






the Iikdo HID works awesome in the karizma reflector(direct DC from battery without any electrical mods).. the mod guy also fitted a normal halogen near the HID which works in AC like original ones.. so could use this bulb incities and short rides and wont eat up battery.

also the blue led parking lights and powerful red color lights under fuel tank looks awesome..

SAP racing silencer 1000 rs gives wonderful sound like apache but 300% louder note

r1100 kn filter made the low end very good and engine free revving though without rejetting it makes the engine a furnace in a matter of minutes

today went to Sc discussed the mods, they took a test ride and appreciated the very light feeling of GS handle.. i told about the filter refitting and asked them to tune the carb and rejet it. the SC guy was very knowledgeable and suggested to go and get the main jet (125 mm) and pilot jet (35 mm) of karizma (GS pilot jet is 15 mm and main jet is 110 mm. i verified this by checking service manual at SC today). he also said both have same needle jet sizes and the role of needle jet is minimal and only the jet needle plays a bigger role. he said he can adjust the clip level in the jet needle to make it richer. i was really astonished by the knowledge level of the SC head since he suggested exactly wat i wanted

Tom going to buy main jet 150 rs and pilot jet 250 rs and gonna fit it in SC tomorrow. will post review tomorrow

can u please show how the exhaust looks like...and which horns are those???thanks in advance.

silencer pics and other angle pics please

Nice mods man. Finally some one really got this ride freaking hot..
Looks like you repainted the tank and front wheel cover to match the Zma fairing.. Its look pretty stylish on the pics but the S logo is getting obscured..

Also, it seems the fairing is attached to the handle bar. Will it affect the handling of the bike??

Could you please post some pics from the riders view point and also from the right side so that we may appreciate the instrument console view and the silencer mod..

Waiting to hear from you about fiddling with the K&N as I have also plans of fitting it in the next service.

The fairing was welded to tank. the handle bar is completely free from fairing, headlight assembly, console etc exactly like karizma. after this mod, the difference in handling was awesome due to freely movable very light weight handle bar. you can now take a turn like a FZ(i have ridden an FZ. so believe me) and there's every possibility to scrap your knee the riding in traffic has become a walk in the park after the mods.

believe me guys.. if you ride 99% in city traffic and find out GS hard to ride and handle, just only go for this karizma mod 4500 rs without any kn mods(so no fear of warranty issues, rejetting issues).. you will defenitely appreciate the mod

Today going for carb rejetting with zma main and pilot jet and clip adjustment of jet needle.

i will post pics from other angle soon.the fairing and rim was painted in red which cost 1000 rs(i asked the mod guy to paint in orange similar to tank color and he assured me that the color will match 99% of the tank color. but he finally painted red and debated that its same as tank color BEWARE OF MOD GUYS )

Arey wah Saru bhai what an Idea Sirji
Wonderful mods !!!!
Now just put a SUZUKI sticker in place of Hero Honda on the front part of the fairing,also take a picture from the exhaust side of the Bike,I want to see how the exhaust looks.
Pilot jet looks after your low end,Needle Jet looks after your mid-range,Mainjet takes it up in top end.
If you need some devastating acceleration to a high top end,Needle Jet functioning is important.Jet needle clips are need to be lucky adjustments.
If you have doubts check up the Carb tuning manuals at Mikuni USA website,you will understand it better.
RTR 180 Mainjet,Pulsar180 Needle Jet and the 35mm pilot jets are things that you need to go for.........though I think that 35mm pilot jet would kill your FE drastically.I prefer going lower on the Pilot jet say 25mm like that.And I dont think Karizma's Keihen Carb jets would be a direct fit on the GS's carb,I have heard that Hex-thread specifications differs on the Mikuni and Keihen Jets.But you can always give it a try if you will.........

As a matter of added suggestion to give more looks,try fitting the KarizmaR Engine Guard Cowl,GSR have enough space for that too.......your bike would be a Sports Cruiser !!!!

thats correct it should be suzuki logo as the front fairing design is directly copied from suzuki hayabuza.

I need the following parts:
1.Both forks
2.Handle Bar
3.Ignition key switch.
4.Wind Shield

First 3 parts are most important..SVC guys told me that they have Handle Bar and Ignition key switch,but the forks are not available.also they told forks will cost 3500rs each.i.e. only 7000 for forks only
If i have to fix my bike in the SVC then i have to replace all parts at the SVC itself. or if not then all parts by myself. They told me to decide what you want... Also i have pay the full bill amount by myself and later i'll get the check from the insurance company.Maybe after 1 or 2 months...

I want some suggestions from the experts present here..guys please help me...i got tired travelling by bus...

Headlight

Today i went to the biggest bike accessories shop in my area. I was planning to buy like MSN1 the Halonix ultra blue 35/35w or OSHRAM 55/60w silverlight. this shop did not have the OSRAM bulb, but showed me a Phillips bulb. It was made in germany, Diamond light, 12V 55w/60; the packet read that it was better than HID xenon, it was meant for car lighting. cost Rs.550.
The shop also has the Halonix ultra blue 35/35w, but i got confused as to which one to buy.
Do you think the 12V 55w/60 would work in our bike?

Please help as i am planning to buy one immediately.
