[Group] SUZUKI GSR 400/600

If I am not wrong... gel has the property of cooling effect... keeps your buttocks cool in long ride... plus it conform to your buttock contour... giving you a more comfortable feelings.

 

I personally haven't tried it... maybe Azmi can give his feedback on his Gel seat?

 

Actually it's not really gel. Eugene said that his version is actually gel-like cushion. Anyway, it's soft and comfy, great for long distances.

 

I did mine, with wrapping for $130.

 

 

He did anti slip material and blue material joined by a white piping.

 

Today after heavy rain, my voltmeter go crazy, from the usual 13.8v today engine on only straight away jump to 22, and fluctuates around 15 to 22v, when i reach hoem about to off the engine is about 15+v, any idea?

 

Sounds like overcharging. Better get your charging systems check.

Omg, any dummy guides to check it? or only at store

Bro!

 

That happened to me this afternoon too. Initially I thought it was overcharging as well, but then i realised engine haven't even switched on, my volt meter shows 15v. Probably voltmeter cocked up.

 

So I went home and took a multimeter... And my bike wasn't overcharging at all.

 

I checked the voltmeter, and there was water vapor inside the meter. My voltmeter brand is MaxPerformance. Looks like have to buy new one:(

Do you have the GSR 600 manual? If so, check the .pdf, page 383 for troubleshooting on battery overcharge.

 

Anyway, the overview is here

 

Battery overcharges

• Faulty regulator/rectifier

• Faulty battery

• Poor contact of generator lead wire coupler

 

How to check,

 

INSPECTION

BATTERY CURRENT LEAKAGE

• Remove the seat. (8-3)

• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

• Disconnect the battery - lead wire.

• Measure the current between - battery terminal and the -

battery lead wire using the multi-circuit tester. If the reading

exceeds the specified value, leakage is evident.

09900-25008: Multi-circuit tester set

 Battery current (leak): Under 3 mA

Tester knob indication: Current (, 20 mA)



YES Go to Step 6.

NO Faulty generator

YES Go to Step 7.

NO Faulty regulator/rectifier

YES Faulty battery.

NO

• Short circuit of wire harness

• Poor contact of couplers

* In case of a large current leak, turn the tester to high

range first to avoid tester damage.

* Do not turn the ignition switch to the “ON”

 

REGULATED VOLTAGE

• Remove the seat. (8-3)

• Start the engine and keep it running at 5 000 r/min with the

dimmer switch turned HI position.

• Measure the DC voltage between the + and - battery terminals

using the multi-circuit tester. If the voltage is not within

the specified value, inspect the generator and regulator/rectifier.

(9-10 and -11)

NOTE:

When making this test, be sure that the battery is in fully-charged

condition.

09900-25008: Multi-circuit tester set

Tester knob indication: Voltage ()

 Regulated voltage (Charging output):

14.0 – 15.5 V at 5 000 r/min

GENERATOR COIL RESISTANCE

• Lift and support the fuel tank. (5-3)

• Disconnect the generator coupler 1.

• Measure the resistance between the three lead wires.

If the resistance is out of specified value, replace the stator

with a new one. Also, check that the generator core is insulated

properly.

09900-25008: Multi-circuit tester set

Tester knob indication: Resistance (Ω)

 Generator coil resistance: 0.2 – 0.9 Ω (B – B)

∞ Ω (B – Ground)

NOTE:

When making above test, it is not necessary to remove the generator.

 

GENERATOR NO-LOAD PERFORMANCE

• Lift and support the fuel tank. (5-3)

• Disconnect the generator coupler. (9-10)

• Start the engine and keep it running at 5 000 r/min.

• Using the multi-circuit tester, measure the voltage between

three lead wires.

If the tester reads under the specified value, replace the generator

with a new one.

09900-25008: Multi-circuit tester set

Tester knob indication: Voltage (~)

 Generator no-load performance:

65 V and more at 5 000 r/min (When engine is cold)

REGULATOR/RECTIFIER

• Remove the regulator/rectifier.

• Measure the voltage between the terminals using the multi

circuit tester as indicated in the table below. If the voltage is

not within the specified value, replace the regulator/rectifier

with a new one. (10-31)

Measure the voltage between the terminals using the multi circuit

tester, as indicated in the table below.

If the voltage is not within the specified value, replace the regulator/

rectifier with a new one.

Tester knob indication: Diode test ()

 

These are excerpts from the manual but it is better for you to check out yourself on the manual as there are pictorial guidance on how to do the checks.

My voltmeter values was jumping around 15v to 22v. Lol

Bro, u just connect it to the battery?

 

Lexanez, i am a very lazy person ahah!!

[Markopolo]

My voltmeter values was jumping around 15v to 22v. Lol

AHAH i using the $15 bucks voltmeters sold by EZZYOILER, ahah if there is leakage what are the consequiences?

[asmi]

Just connect parallel to the battery. Come on, its just under the seat. Lol.

 

If it is 12v, then sua.

 

Switch on engine, see whether the multi meter shows 13+.

 

If it does, then rip your voltmeter and step on it. That what I did. Lol. I also wasted 24 bucks on a voltmeter that isn't waterproof. Zzz

[Lexanez]

Lol, you gotta put some silicon to waterproof it. I'm using some no brand voltmeter too but not mini one of course. Dislike mini ones.

Yep, use a multimeter to check 1st.

[Markopolo]

HAHA, if lets say voltmeter really spoil, i am gonna leave it there untill it finetune itself back to normal ahha

[asmi]

I assumed that it will be waterproof since it is a voltmeter for motorbikes..

[Markopolo]

Ride through so many storms le, first time fail, ahah, think is the wires rusty already

[Lexanez]

I assumed that it will be waterproof since it is a voltmeter for motorbikes..

 

Mmm, not really. That's just a voltmeter, not necessarily for bikes. Unless you are talking about Acumen Gear indicator + voltmeter.

[IvikaRazI]

Water got into the voltmeter huh. As for me even if they say waterproof, I will take much precaution like sealing any opening with silicon or sticky tape. You could try to claim for a new volt meter if it is still under warranty. It did say it is waterproof right?

[asmi]

I bought it from a forumer... He never said it was waterproof... Just that I assumed. Nvm..

[breadpower]

anyone know if there is a certain milage for us to change our tensioner and timing belt because my bike milage is reaching 30 000km?

And also is there a need to do a tuning like Teka Mapping if i have change my air filter and end can to after market want.

[shuaidi]

any way to prevent mud from flipping up to the top box from the rear wheel? is there a mud guard for GSR?

[ycmeng]

Thanks. btw, bike sold already.

i also looking for it lols,

One alternative is to install a top rack.

[Markopolo]

sorry bro, looks COME FIRST! HAHAHHA

[shuaidi]

Top rack refer to the rack that supports the top box?

 

I have that but the mud keep flipping up to the box...

Are we able to install those mud guard that S4 installed? anyone tried before?

[Markopolo]

haha, my voltmeter is back in normal working condition, suspect the ground like kenna water, ahha, anyway, u guys idling that time voltage will drop to like 13.2? den when ride off go back 13.7 13.8

Hey marco, so how's the fabrication doing? 
