Don't use self start until you get the battery replacement. Because that can damage the digital speedometer

Intro: Hi , this is 18year old Nikhil Patil from Mumbai . I'm a mechanical diploma student , I have been interested in cars and bikes from a long time . I recently got this Suzuki Gixxer , I would like to share its review with you guys . This is my first shot at x-bhp , kindly bear if any faults are found . Suggestions are welcomed .
Suzuki Gixxer : It was near Dusshera , so I was looking for a bike to buy in the 150cc segment . Did a short research and I had to decide between gixxer 155 and yamaha FZ . I had already test drive my friend's gixxer and I like the gixxer's aggresive style more than the FZ , so I decide to go with the gixxer . Finally booked gixxer at Mrp suzuki showroom , ulhasnagar at 87,000Rs onroad price . Got the delivery two days after dusshera .
Delivery day: Got the bike delivered two days after dusshera with registration done . All papers were handed over . Did quick check of the bike and found deep scratches on rear grab rails , which were replaced on asking . So , finally drove away with the suzuki gixxer 155cc.
First impressions: The bike feels quite mature . Seating position is quite good . Felt little wrist pain as handle grip is not smooth . The bike is very smooth and you will absolutely love the exhaust note .
Engine: Powered by 155cc engine . The engine is quite smooth and less vibrations even at high rpms . Addition to that is that beautiful exhaust which Is chrome plated and exhaust notes are similar to a duke (according to me). Gearing is good and accurate. Mid-range is punchy , keep it in right gear and it will bring a smile on your face .
Suspension : Well the suspension is more on a stiffer side . You can feel the bumps at slow speed . But its stifferness brings stability at high speed .
Handling: Handling is excellent. The handle is smooth in operation . Your hand doesn't messes with the fuel tank , like in other wide body bikes.
Braking: Front bybre unit disc brake is very impressive in stopping the bike . Rear is the drum brake , which is good too . Braking feel is progressive and more than enough to stop this monster .
Tyres: Rear 140mm tyres feel quite sport and give you confidence to tackle that curvy roads . It makes you feel like leaning throughout curvy roads.
Ride: Overall ride quality is excellent . You will enjoy taking this bike for long drives , while hearing to that beautiful exhaust note .
Mileage: 40-45(city) and
50-55(highway) , don't expecting anything higher.
Other note-worthy features:![]()
1) Instrument cluster is fully digital and has functions like gear indicator , rpm light , rpm meter , fuel guage and obviously speedometer too . The cluster is good to look at . It illuminates orange light at night.

2) Indicator lights are very sturdy and don't break easily .

3) Exhaust note is music to ears .
Pros:
1)Good braking.
2)Smooth engine and gear shifts.
3)Exhaust sound.
4)Good mileage.
Cons:
1)Stiffer suspensions , but can be adjusted according to your need.
2)Rusting at some places.
3)Horn sound is very low.
Final verdict : Best bike under 150cc segment category. If your look for a daily sporty commuter or few trips on the weekend , then go for this bike . It has excellent mileage figures too . Pure rider's bike and fun to ride.
