sad so now u had the new 1 installed??

How did they?

Not now, financial crisis, will get them changed as I get salary
Don't know yaar, but I guess 24k kms in 14months is one of the reasons...

i also had the same problem, just tell the mach to put the spring inside front fork upside down both and put some fork oil thats it 5 minuts job..

Thats totaly not normal dude,Even I had done more kms than you in that time period.Your bad luck man.is there coloured smoke from the exhaust ?? what would be the cost replacing?

Yes white smoke.. Have not gone to SVC yet, will enquire and update here

damn... how did that happen? Did your oil level drop below required level? Piston rings dont go kaput just like that.
Dont run the bike like this. If its the piston rings alone, immediate check can save you from having to replace the cylinder kit etc... i mean, if you run the bike in this condition, it could damage the cylinder walls (ie if we still dont know what happened exactly)

@Lijok : Yes the engine oil level dropped (as I mentioned few pages earlier), I am not using the bike now. Thanks buddy to let me know about the walls, will get it checked as well.
BTW have you been joel-ed again? I hope the problems that you has are not there anymore

ah.. maybe I missed the earlier post. WIll check for it

yeah I've joelled again. Running fine as of now. I'm afraid to be happy least any issues come back...

At last your problem is solved. As soon as I get my problem sorted out, I am giving a call to Joel

Query?

Hi Lijok, I am also planning to get my bike joelled. Just wanted to check with you if you experienced any issues with the bike after installing the performance enhancers

Let me give you a short history.
First time, I got the FFE from Joel.. installed it. The stupid mech did not tighten the bolts properly. There was leak at the exhaust header. Once that fixed... no issues.
Then i got the big bore kit. Went to cochin to have it installed from a 'reputed' mech. The stupid (yeah, again) screwed up the piston ring installation. Around 2k kms into the new big bore the rings went kaput.
then I reverted to stock, still had issues.
Finally, last november end, i rode to banglore to Joels place. Got a new semi-forged racing piston, rebored the big bore cylinder kit, new FFE with DB killer. Installed all that, rode back to TVM (around 800kms) of run in, well almost
No issues so far... which I attribute to perfect installation at joel's....
Been running on this config since Dec 2, 2011. Though I've not had the opportunity to test the 0-60 or top speed, I've (relatively) easily achieved 132kmph and 4.3 s 0-60 INSIDE city limits.
Joels mods have been proven to be good. but as with any mods, you should be ready to take risk (aka spend money) in case something goes wrong.

Listen to your heart bro...

hey guys i would like to know if any of u'll use any additives for your petrol...like iftex or petrol plus??does it really help....cause i was reading a post which said the sensor inside the tank can get rusted and give all rubbish reading which i dont think anyone wants....does it really happen??if yes how long before such a thing happens and will it be recoverable if it does??

Wass up Guys..
Here are the pics of the Suzuki GS stock air filter.The difference is clearly felt,the bike now pulls cleanly when given sudden throttle at lower rpms and reaches the redline more quicker than before!All in all,its definately worth trying.
The front cap is detachable.

Thanks very much for the tip drifty.
