Re: The Official Mumbai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

Can anybody tell me if Joshua from Garage52 would check my GS for an engine noise? The SVC guys don't give a damn about GS anymore.

And if he will, does he charge like a lot since he's all famous and stuff?

What model of GS?

Hi [MENTION=85633]g.1[/MENTION], Did this ride around a month back. Mumbai-Pune-Kolhapur-Belgaum-Hubbali-Chitradurga-Tumkur-Bangalore.
Few diversions till Kolhapur, rest of the roads are just smooth, straight & fast.
Did the return ride of ~1000km in a single day. Avoid reaching Bangalore in the evening peak hours as the traffic is just crazy.

Do the schedule service of the bikes a week back of the ride. Carry all vehicle related documents, chain lube, puncture repair kit, spare spark plug, cables (no need to carry extra block piston [emoji3])

Keep yourself hydrated & ride safe.

Any advice for riding during rains will be appreciated [emoji3]

Riding in the rain is definitely an enjoyable experience but not sure it will be for 1000km. Get an extra rain gear to wear over your jacket & even after that get ready for water seepage (through the neck, cuff, pants region) .
Why not rain liner from jacket? Just think about the 1000km ride where it won't rain throughout the ride, it will be a mix of rain (if it falls) & dry/hot/humid weather. So you cannot were the rain liner all the time & thus removing & attaching the liner at the start & stop of rain will be hectic & time consuming for you.

Plan your braking in the rain as braking efficiency drastically drop during the rain, so be careful if you are doing high speeds.

Check tire pressure before the ride.

Keep the chain lubricated

Clean your helmet visor regularly when riding in rains, keep a cloth for that.

Get rain gear for your shoes, drying wet shoes after the ride could be time consuming affair.

Happy journey & have a safe ride.

Re: The Official Mumbai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

Hi guys,

Background:
My GS150R cannot keep up with 1500 on the odometer at the start so I have to use the big screw to tune it till 1500 everyday but when it gets hot after a few Kms it goes up to 1800-2000 so again I bring it down to 1.5k while on my way.
Recently(20-30kms back) my tank was filled with water, got it cleaned but I don't know if he cleaned the carburettor (He said he just opened the carb and removed the water cos a week ago he had himself serviced it)
He also told me the drain hole is choked so water will flow inside anyhow and he put a big plastic tank cover

Issue:
The bike stalls while running. From 1500 it goes down slowly in a second or two and dies. It would start after a few forced self starts and after a lot of throttle it runs. Showed it to him and he said "Air ka problem hai" and did something on the right side near the fuel flow pipe.
It stalled again and he did the same shit and told me it won't happen again and if it did then open the tank lid and close it

A while ago it stalled again, I opened the lid for 2 seconds, closed it and bang it started fine.

Possible Reasons?
1. Is it the tank drainage hold that's building some kind of pressure and hence the stalling?
2. Is it my carburettor? The carb pin is put to place using a tiny plastic piece so it doesn't overflow (been there for 2 years)
3. Is it cos I keep my fuel flow to off mode and put in On cos of Point 2

Please help guys, I have my exams in a month and have to travel daily to the library on my bike.
