Suzuki Gixxer SF [2015-2018]

I bought suzuki gixxer sf matt triton blue from bharat suzuki pune. Pros.1.Good machine, engine performance is remarkable. 2.No heating issue up to 40k after that slight heating was started from engine side. 3.Riding position 4.Gear ratio 5.Good aerodynamic design. Cons: 1. Tight gear shaft, painful gear shifting. If the clutch wire is little loose then it is horrible to change the gear. 2.Oil leakage through magnetic coil wire. They first replaced the cover.It costs around 250 rupees,but it was not stopped. Then i changed magnetic coil (rs 1600). After 100 km again restarted the same problem. After watching a youtube video i applied some gasket maker on the part , then only it stopped.3.Spare part availability is very poor in our area. My front break disc was damaged and purchased new one. When the mechanic started to changing it he said that your mc kit and wheel cylinder kit should be replaced then only we can fix the issue permanently. I inquired in three authorized showrooms in my area and all of them said that part is not available here. Then i searched on local market their also it was not available. Then i tried mc kit with pulsar 180 spare and caliper piston with cb shine, both works fine in gixxer sf. I ordered these parts in bharat suzuki they said that it take 2 weeks to reach the item. After 2 weeks i called them , but again they needed one more week. At last i received a message that my parts are came. I visited showroom and told them that i need only wc kit , they gave me one piston with o rings. After that they arranged one more pistons after three days. Total 25 days for a small spare part. 4.During rain water will enter through tank cap. It will cause corrosion inside water tank . Check frequently. 5.Switch quality is below average. 6.Handle bar is not good. The side stand is too straight. Bike fell down many times due to this height of side stand. All these times handle bar gets some damage and its quality is very bad. 7. Seat comfort is not up to the mark. Especially pillion seat. Pillion will feel discomfort even after 20km ride.Rider can enjoy 60 km continuous ride easily.8.Spare parts rates are similar to royal enfield parts. Average life of some parts: 1.Chain sprocket-13000-16000km. 2.Front disc pad-15000km. 3.Clutch cable-22000km. 4. Accelarator cable-20000km 5.Mrf tyres -25000k. 6.Engine oil-4500km. 7.Cone set-25000km.

About the Reviewer

This bike is good in all respect according to price, breaking system and speed control is quite awesome among 150 cc other bikes. Mileage on long drives is 45-46 km/l and in local areas mileage reduces to 40 km/l I have ridden this bike at the top speed of 122,Fiber body part, so it requires high maintenance and servicing in every 3 months.
