A facelifted pair of Suzuki Gixxers have been launched in India – the full fairing Gixxer SF SP and the naked sports SP. Sporting a matte-grey colour scheme, the pair of bikes sport updated graphics as well as a special maroon seat cover.
Carrying an air-cooled single-cylinder 154.9 cc SOHC two-valve engine, the Gixxers put out a claimed 14.8 PS at 8,000 rpm and 14 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. Fuelling is by carburettor and power gets to the ground via a five-speed gearbox and chain final drive.
An LED tailight is standard for the special edition Gixxer SF SP and SP, along with a LCD instrument cluster. Suspension at the front is a telescopic fork, while the rear features a seven-step adjustable monoshock.
Weighing in at 139 kg, the Gixxers sport identical fuel tanks with 12-litres capacity. Seat height is a rider-friendly 780 mm with hydraulic discs front and rear.
Priced at 80,726 rupees (RM4,948) for the Suzuki Gixxer SP, and 88,857 rupees (RM5,446) for the full-fairing Gixxer SF SP, the Gixxers are designed for budget commuter use, a segment that is a huge market in India.
In Malaysia, Suzuki Assemblers Malaysia recently shut down its kapchai assembly facility in Penang. Suzuki Malaysia will be concentrating on the sales of CBU large displacement Suzuki bikes from Japan, but will continue to support existing kapchai customers.

Carburettor engine? Even kapcais in MY alredi changing to FI. Looks modern but old tech, just like vios keli
Your kapchai can climb himalaya mountain range? Carburator is the answer for vast geographical landscape uniqueness of India
Actually, at higher altitudes FI is better than carb, just like piston engined aircraft. The thinner air makes carb harder to suck it in, so will suffer huge loss of power or flame out.
Fuel injection system still sucks air in… Created by the vacuum of piston movement. That is why this engine is called naturally aspirated.
Unless its turbocharged, which means the induction utilises forced air.
John, no differences between carb and efi, except that efi is slightly more efficient. Easier start, better throttle response and improved FC.
But for your info… NASCAR racing cars are using carb instead of efi. Do the thinking
Yeah “racing” on round-shaped track is sooo challenging. NASCAR sux
errrm nascar is round track race
does it even need such thing as EFI where RAW Power is far more concerned?
if F1 and motoGP use GDI or EFI is what?
those hill race use what? rally engine use what? drift? topkek
even enduro (motorcycle) are force to make switch to EFI nowadays
Cost, simplicity and ease of maintenance. Thats why.
those are some very attractive motorcycles that Suzuki sells in markets outside malaysia. if it is sold for around RM8k, it would get buyers that now are buying yamaha FZ150, demak, KTN and Nimota motorcycles. pity that suzuki malaysia management have pretty much no idea of what the malaysian market wants.
Sell branded 250cc cruisers in Msia. There is a huge market .
from the big four? topkek
even Kawasaki drop the VN II due to lack of interest from public
GSX-R! please, Suzuki!!!
please bring it to malaysia
Dun wan! Carb more polluting than FI!
2 valve SOHC air cooled thumper? you must be mad
no different from Honda CG clone from Demak, nimota etc crap
Suzuki had a good looking and reliable 150 bike (non underbone) in the early 2000’s and that was the FXR150, sadly Suzuki did not follow up on that bike design.
Suzuki pls produce smth like fxr150 again. I’m currently still riding fxr150 for more than 11 years. Commute to work everyday
inb4 someone replace the ‘x’ with ‘L’.
syukur malaysia ada kapchai that cost RM5k…..
