Improving the Performance of you Suzuki GS-150

[archon2001]

Experienced members should also discuss/share their views on how to get better fuel average in gs150.
Such as driving habits. People like me just love to twist the throttle and see the magic again and again while we tend to forget how much fuel is consumed in displaying that magic.
Hard braking also results in lot of energy being used up so one should brake slowly and be precise so that fuel does not go wasted.

GS150 is a daily commuter bike design to give rider good economy with reasonable power to accelerate.
observe the rpm meter with speedo meter, higher rpm with low speed bad fuel consumption, higher speed with low rpm good fuel consumption. this is what i have observed till now.
giving unnecessary acceleration while waiting at signals is also cause of bad fuel consumption.
air filter must no be dry in any case 1 should feel some oil when cleaning dirt from it.

would not recommend any karachi member to ride real slow to get excellent fuel average, damm mobile snatcher look for people who are riding slow :).

kind regards

i like the over all headlight solution however putting in a 55w bulb instead of the recommended 35w is kinda difficult for me to digest. wouldn't we be putting a lot of strain on bike's electrical system in the long run?

I know in a pinch it shouldn't hurt but then again, I have seen a guy use ordinary lithium grease in wheel bearing. when asked he replied, it doesn't hurt one bit.

yr concern over electrical system is very right.
haven't u seen cd70 with pressure horn or bikes with car horn, bike with hids etc i sure u have. the problem they normally face is battery drains out easily after some time of use.
a good electrician can increase charging to solve this problem if it comes.
can u tell me what type of charging setup they have given u in yr gs150 as it have many other things also installed compare to normal gs150 .

How to lubricate speedometer and brake cables? If the speedometer cable has to be opened would it not disturb the setting of speedometer?
Lubrication process with pictures will be highly appreciated.

many people go for oiling the cables and that work too. i prefer to use 7cf can grease to do this job. grease inside the can is quite good for this job. and u can find the can just for 200 to 220 rupees max, just remove the cables and don't worry it will not disturb any thing. be sure that 1 side of inner moving part of cable is design to hold upper part of garari, so it goes back in same way it came out.
remove the skinny metal cable from the main cable. clean it with soft clean cloth. now shake the can well, u will find straw just like u find in wd40 can with this can too. fix the straw to the can and spray inside the main cable from 1 end. from other end u will see dirt coming out with the old grease or oil. keep spraying for 10 sec more until u see clean grease coming out. leave the cable on flat surface for 10 to 15 mints for grease to well seated inside the main cable insert the skinny metal cable back.
u can use same process for both of the cables. rpm and speedo meter.

kind regards

Bro, lubrication process is fairly simple. you may use oil/WD40 or grease as per your liking. In my humble opinion, grease is much better than oil because oil eventually migrates leaving the cables bone dry in a couple of days. and, dont worry, take out the speedometer cable doesn't upset any meter related settings.

cant say anything about price of Honda Deluxe's Ignition Coil because I got it (slightly used) from a friend and he kinda gave it to me for free. infact, he was the one who suggested in the first place to change the OEM coil with Honda's coil for better performance.

gave the "Tour-King" a royal bath and scrub today. The experience transitioned from pleasurable to horrible as the exercise proved too much for the old bones.

Anyways.......Lesson Learned: "Leave It to Professionals, Hard Work is Great as Long as Somebody Else is Doing It"

very informative thread by @12guage. . i have also installed car's fuse in my bike and it does not cause any problems now. else after every few months, one have to get the fuse changed. as for the side cover flying issue, @dr.omair explained the solution very well. changing the rubbers make alot of difference and the side cover does not fly then. but i have installed the screw and keep it really tight because side cover stealing issue is quite common in my uni :D.

you did the right thing bro. Thing is, car fuse design is much better than the conventional tube type fuses.

bro the tour-king came with two 12-volt outlets which can be used to charge most small electronic devices such as cellphone, mp3 player, GPS and laptop, provided that devices do not consume more than 110 watts in total.

One 12-volt outlet is on the handlebars whereas the other is inside the rear trunk. Both are waterproof and come with a fuse to protect the bike's electrical system.
