    Based on Autocar post, ABS is coming soon. Suzuki knows that Gixxer also demands it and it'll be made available.

    Anyways, from 2018 ABS will be mandatory in all vehicles. So if you can wait a little longer, then it's better! Also try to get FI version. Carb variant is too dated in modern days.

          I think, no FI version for Gixxer 155 till date. Only Gixxer SF has a FI version.

            Websites list Hornet's and Apache 180's seat height as 790 mm but when I sat on both I found Hornet taller. I am a short guy, I could barely land my toes on Hornet. Felt slightly better on Apache 180, what could be the reason?

              Seat height actually denotes how high the seat is but getting your legs flat on the ground depends on various other factors such as how wide the seat and the tank is and how wide is the overall frame of the bike is. And as far as I have experienced both the tank and the seat is wider on hornet than the apache and that is the reason you are finding it easy on the apache.

                  Completed 12k ODO. Break fluid level is down to 25%. I think I need to change it in next service.

                      May I know who owns this bike. Graphics stripped off and neatly re-done.
                      Also I liked the engine mud guard. Does any one know where we could get this. Click image for larger version

                        Looks cool! Is it a good idea to have engine guard? Imho it blocks air to engine and thus engine may not cool faster..

                          Guys,

                          Got my hornet (Matt black with Orange stripes) this Friday.

                          Driving experience till now has been good. Had a query.. What tyre pressure do you guys set in front & rear tyres??

                          I normally drive around 4 kms to nearby petrol bunk in order to get the tyre pressure checked. So what psi do you suggest ??

                                For city riding, I fill 30 front / 32 rear which lasts for more than 2-3 weeks with 5 points decrease in pressure.
