    You should have done some research on this, prior opting for this bike. Do some workouts regularly. it should be fixed. If you stop it, it will come back
    Sure mate..will start workout soon..all day computer sitting job doing rounds and rounds of configurations and testing has messed the body for all these years.Even I asked in this forum, but all suggested Jupiter or Activa (https://www.xbhp.com/talkies/what-bi...t-one-buy.html)

    However I liked Access's pickup as compared to Jupiter ..thats why I opted for this..


    No problem..will buy some cheap Pulsar 150 from olx or use my car Swift ZXI ..

      I still recommend you to get rid of Access and switch to a bike. Any new pulsar or Apache 200 look promising and ultra reliable.

      The reason why i say so is as follows.
      - We are not normal average indians. we are taller and a bit bulky. All these scooters are designed considering avg indian height of 5.4 -5.8 ft. We are way over the avg height and weight.
      - When we use activa/access, the knee joint makes around 100 degree angle on activa. its less than 70 degrees on access. meaning, our legs will bend more on access and less on activa, when seated and riding.
      If the angle is less, the weight of thighs gets transfered to buttock joint or tail bone joint. This causes the issue. if the angle is more, because of gravity, your legs take the hit, which is good. Back will not have additional weight on it. But is it still good?

      I would still recommend to switch to a bike, if you are a regular rider. Your access is new, so you should get good price for it. Whatever you wanted to invest on used pulsar, transfer it to your new purchase. Dont buy bikes where your legs make around 80 degrees. (Splendors and maybe unicorn old depending on your height and other short bikes) You will face the same issue there. Pick a bike where your legs are carrying your weight.
      Try to switch to pulsars or Apache 200. you should be good.

      The problem you are facing is irreversible. Act prior it gets aggravated so you dont spend weeks/months in hospitals and its bills. Dont think of initial loss you might face on this decission. Think abt your health.

        Thanks a lot for your useful advice. However I have a doubt, if the angle is more -- as we see in case of Bajaj Avenger-- angle is around 110 or 120 degrees..why ppl complain of tail bone issue there also ?

        Also whats the angle in case of Pulsar 150 NS ?

        Regards

          Avengers have laid back seat. Which puts pressure on bottom. On a moving vehicle, if you have such seats, it will cause problems.

          Avengers is short. Check your angle after sitting. It should give fair idea. It is aggravated by that laid back angle too.

          I have said only about perpendicular seating bikes. V haven’t discussed laid back bikes and forwards leaning bikes.

            Hi Friends,

            My Suzuki Access (BS4, bought Sep'17) has developed fueling issue lately.

            When there is heavy to very heavy traffic and I try to flick Access to squeeze through spots, the engine suddenly dies with "bhuk-bhuk" noise from silencer and then I have to use choke to keep the engine awake till I clear the traffic and head to open road. This has been happening consistently now-a-days and vehicle just struggles to even start without choke.

            Please let me know if one of you observed the same and possible remedies to solve it. Can complaining to Suzuki India customer service will help me ?

            Thank You in advance.

                I did raise complain with Suzuki and I got call concerned service centre the next day. I visited them and told the problem, Service Manager took test ride and directed service engineer to check carburetor. There is O-ring which had expanded and was replaced at no cost (under warranty).

                I took my Access but need to check if the problem is resolved or not. They have set idle setting quite high and I will ask them to reset to normal.

                Will post my observation after riding for couple of weeks.

                  Hi fellow owners of new Access 125,

                  I just got a Blue Access 125 Disc variant for my dad last week. This replaced a 7 year old Swish 125 that was run only for 19000 KMS. The Access is much plusher and roomier than the Swish.

                  I did not opt for many accessories from the dealership but only picked the mandatory ones like foot mat and ladies step.

                  I want to install an all round guard that is not chrome/stainless steel type that the dealerships have. I have seen few scoots with black one. Where can I buy the black ones from? Any particular shops in JC Road?

                  TIA

                    You can get the black guard from the dealership itself. I got it installed on day one instead of the chrome though the dealership was pushing for the chrome saying it looks blingy.

                      Thank you Prakash. Which colour do you own?
                      Can you post a pic with the black guards.

                        Hey there, I have done an interesting and the most useful mod to my Access 125, very much needed when the road conditions are very bad in your city thanks to the metro [emoji849]. Off late I have been traveling too much at night and to my luck I have been safe on the highways with basically no lights(stock lights are a joke) and driving in complete dark all on my judgment and assumption (it was really scary)
                        I wanted to go for aux light there's a trend going on these days for aux light [emoji23]. I didn't like the idea of aux light as anyone can fiddle around with them or thought of them getting robbed plus the load on the punny battery. Did a little research and spoke to the ASC mechanic and he suggested me to go for LED
                        Then came the tough part which LED to go for and will it effect the battery? After a lot of research went for the NIGHT EYE 36W(almost the same watt as the stock bulb), which was a direct fit in to the setup with just minor wire alterations.
                        And then came the judgment day, and results were out checked in my building compound and had a big grin on my face [emoji16] mission accomplished[emoji41] I hope the picture will do the Justice.

                            Also, how would it affect the battery with the headlamps always on (AHO)?

                              Nothing much done with the wiring just connected the headlights directly to the battery, and the cost of the LED was 1900 (pair) and fitting 100rs.

                                Since I own a bs3 i cannot comment and according to the calculation 35w is the stock head light try connecting it directly to battery and you can Know if it can take 36w led or not. If the battery drains then go for 25w or get a separate switch[emoji12]
