iv decided to break my silence on this issue now that ive found the right thread
i test-drove an old GS150 in summer last year, fell in love with it and bought a brand new one a week later from al-hamd motors litton road lahore. let me tell u i drive my bike with ALOT of care, never abuse it, clean it regularly, change its oil etc on time and always wash it with sunsilk shampoo
these r the issues i faced with their solutions
1.the exhaust caught rust within a week....i went to the showroom to claim.....took me about 2-3 visits and plenty of calls to the maintenance deptt guy before i finally got a new exhaust. it took 20 days in total
2.tyres vibrated badly, especially at higher speeds.....had them aligned twice....have been better since
3. speedometer cable broke at approx 1900 kms......replaced it with a cg125 cable
4.clutch cable broke at aprox 2800 kms.....replaced it with a desi cable
5.rpm cable snapped at apprx 3400 kms.....bought a genuine suzuki cable coz honda 125 cable wont fit
6. rear light bulb would never last more than a week.....i m a very cautious guy, always make sure everythings working so i would replace it the moment it would stop working....anyways, after my 10th bulb or so, i had the bulb holder replaced......its doing fine since
7.the rpm meter gives a funny vibration sound whenever the bikes goes over 5500rpms......dont know what to do with it and havnt done anything so far....maybe u guys can hlp
8.petrol vavle leaked one day....had it serviced....been doing fine now
9.some chrome parts have started rusting.....paint from the main frame is beginning to fall off on its "own".....dont know what to do
10.the speedometer is accurate. i drive a car regularly so i know that it shows im faster but im not. at around 60km/h on its speedometer, i m actually doing around 40-45
im not satisfied with its parts at all.i hv done only 3900 kms so far on it...the only thing i like about it is its engine block which is soundless yet powerfull....and seems durable too. the CDI is good too.but the question is....is it worth it? is it worth buying a bike just because its engine is japanese??

@majalil

Bro you have a good case to go to the consumer court against them. You can claim damages from the company. I suggest that you sincerely think about it. it is only legal action against there companies that will make them realize their responsibilities toward customers. I feel sorry for ya.

Dear brother i know its very hard to suffer all this, when u have just spent so much money on a new machine and you are so conscious if it has some serious issue? Is it a defected piece? Whats wrong? I know this...

But you are not the only one to face this all... be patient and all ur problems will be removed slowly.

I faced some issues too when i bought my Yamaha junoon back in 2010.

• It used to do missing sometimes and back fire too... later it was found it had a faulty choke cable!
• I had also faced broken throttle cable and clutch cable really early.
• My bike eats up brake shoes early too!
• My head light bulb also gave away early and when it went off.. everything on the Odo, including my indicators went crazy! A faulty head light bulb holder was the culprit! Almost melted down!
• My bike's fuze blew off!
• My bike's flasher(Blinker for the indicators) gave away while fixing something else.. because it was not earth wired!
• My bike has also got little rust here n there because the chrome was already damaged at that point by factory!
• Still to date i dont know why my bike eats up the battery power? It cant power a long proper loud horn! The battery dies and so does the horn if i keep it pressed for long... although i have changed my battery once and am running a 3 AMP one.

These are common issues in todays bikes! Lets face it! Look at the inflation rate! Look at the rupee's devaluation! Bikes prices have not increased equally! And then the most imp. thing is that you and me both opted to chose for a bike that gave "More in less price! " and heres the problem!

When there are such economic conditions, cost of productions is going up, fuel prices, gas, electricity all hiking up... the first thing manufacturers do is:

1. Reduce the paint quality! Yamaha and Suzuki both come with a single coat of paint!
2. Reduce the chrome quality!
3. Reduce the standards of bike's inspection before it leaves factory!
4. Reduce the quality of all operating cables.
5. Reduce the quality of all parts they manufacture locally... The frame, hubs, axles, brake drums etc.
6. Only whats left is the engine that is of better quality because most of its parts are imported and manufacturers cant save cost there.
7. Still China has jumped to seize the opportunity and come up with cheaper and pathetic-er quality electronic parts such as CDI units and wiring stuff etc.

Theres no other brand except Honda which offers 2 proper, thick coats of paint! Honda's quality is also decreasing but still not as much as other manufacturer's have decreased. My cousin has a cg125 and he had not got his rear brake shoes changed having 10,000Kms on the odo! m9 ate them up in 3000ish! Its a result of poorer brake drum quality.

After all... how do u think Suzuki managed to give you a 150cc engine! Heavier and bigger sized bike! Self starter! In only 90,000ish Rs? Cg125 comes in that range! In fact Honda insanely thinks they should try selling a 125 @ 115,000 Rs!! So what should be a fair price for a high quality 150? not 90,000 at all!

But still relax! Soon all ur bike's troubles will be solved and it will settle down. Mine has already Shukar Alhamdolillah! Now i dont visit my mechanic as often as i used to... so hope 4 the best and be patient!.

Cheers!

Here, i want to share my personal experiance, although it is about Sprinter 110CC, but the manufacturer is Suzuki.

I have 2011 Model Sprinter Standard, drive about 12,000KM, and no single complaint. Still no visit to mistri for any rectification, actually i normally avoided mechanics, and try to do all routine jobs myself. Generally, 2 jobs are periodically done by me, engine oil change after every 1200KM, (Caltex Havoline) with air filter element wash with petrol and rinse with some mobel oil. and oil filter change after every 3600 KM. And believe guys, not yet change any other part of my bike, even brake shoes are still genuine after 12000KM, on 10000KM i oiled all control cables i.e. Clutch Cable, Speedometer cable, throttle cable and rear brake cable, and after oiling these are working more smoothly. So, my experience about suzuki bike is very very excellent.

Zeshan Aslam

[luckyman]

i am satisfied about suzuki

[celica]

I was interested in GS 150 and consult few owners but most of them are not satisfied with its quality now. So decided not to go for it.

Bike puncture wala problem to meray sath bhi hua tha. 2nd day of purchase in November 2011, bike rear tyre punctured. mechanic told 'RIM ne Choondi (chutki) mar lia hay'. Doosri dafa puncture hua to I went straight to the showroom and they told that tyre warranty k liye Litten road pe ja k tyre jama kerwana peray ga. Feeling pissed off, I went to Mcloed road near Railway Station Lahore, Got new japanese tyres both front and rear. Spent 5000 in addition to exchanging the old tyres. Thanks that these tyres are going fine now.

Brake shoes.. exactly they were extremely sub-standard and pathetic. In less than 1000 km, both brake shoes were worn out. Got new ones and they are now working fine.

Battery, mine stopped performing within a week. Albatta first attempt main hi warranty main replace ker di unho ne.

In my opinion, Pak Suzuki has implemented some desperate cost reduction techniques to increase their profit margin in motorcycles and cars too. This has resulted in 'ghattya' quality parts being purchased from local/chinese vendors.

Still, I am glad, the engine and body, both are durable.
Albatta sab accessories ka Allah hi hafiz hay. :S

[Rana2107]

I have something same type of compalints from this very model

[devilskreed]

IDK why issue is with suzuki models especially GS-150..But AHL with its dead old models provides relatively better quality than any branded/non-branded bike manufacturers..

[dr3vil]

agreed with this punture thing it happens i some times see new gs on tire shops
after this thread if i need a 2 wheeler i will restore my dads vespa no new bike is like vespa
and dil pe na le fix these issues and it will be fine my alto had pick issue just an example i adjusted distributor my self and it was fine thori juggar karo bike set hojani hai

[Rana2107]

So far only complaints we have heard are of GS150 only

[aiktoonamila]

Quality control is good and service persons are not cooperative.

[devilskreed]

If people want reliable rides..AHL is the best option..I am not a die hard fan of AHL but their quality is better..I have successfully completed 2.5k Kms on my cd-100 and till now the bike is running perfectly smooth,no issues encountered

[Kaleem23]

yes i have sprinter eco and i like to ride on it always but suzuki need to improve the quality badly they have good engines but they have to work on quality

[ibrahimhashmi11]

I was abit undecided about whether to buy gs 150 or cd 100...This thread has clarified everything for me...Thx guys
