Assalam'o Alaikum, I am replying you in 2020, 8 years after your review. I bought this bike Suzuki GS150SE back in 2017 and since the I haven't got much issue with gear shift noise. Initially it was, but after I settled my gear shift timing routine, the entire gearbox flows smooths. However, the GR150 has a horrible gear shift noise. It feels like the gearbox is about to break.
