सुज़ुकी जिक्सर एसएफ़ 250 माइलेज

Bought it from Jos Suzuki Angamaly Kerala. The showroom experience was great. I had already test-ridden the SF250 many times before the purchase. So I had a clear idea of how the bike was. The engine is a gem, with no vibration, and really smooth along the rev range. The bike itself is muscular and offers a big bike feel, yet at 161kgs feels light as well. Power delivery is so amazing. I got around 34kmpl mileage in the city before 1st service. I mostly used to ride at a speed of 70 to 80 in the cities. The braking is decent. Not spectacular or worse. It does the job. Led lights at the front offer great visibility at low lights. The rear led light looks cool.
I wish the turn indicators were led as well. I am really not happy with the visor which is practically useless. Had to get an after-market DB visor which works fine. Even the horn is pathetic. Feels like a scooter horn.

Buying experience -
I had purchased this bike from Natwest Suzuki, Chennai on 8-7-23. The process was long as the approval for BS 6 II was pending at the time I booked. The owner himself was very helpful and entire registration and other process took 10 days
Riding experience -
I have covered 350 kms in 10 days, mostly daily commute. So far so good. Handling is excellent
Performance and looks -
Performance is awesome, this quarter litre motor pulls nicely to triple digit speeds and is butter smooth at 80-90 kmph range. No lags or struggle, the engine is smooth at 30 kmph even in 5th gear.
Look wise I feel front visor is smaller and makes bike look childish.
Pros -
1. Powerful engine
2. Decent mileage
3. No back/wrist/shoulder pain for a sports bike
4. Pillion seat is comfortable compared to rivals
5. LED headlamps are awesome
6. Bluetooth connectivity is superb
7. No vibrations and super stable
Cons -
1. Smaller front visor
2. Some sound can be heard from exhaust tip due to vibrations during hard accleration as it is not fitted perfectly
Upgraded from pulsar 220f and is worth every time I ride

समीक्षक के बारे में

Most people have really missed this bike, it is the only bike for highway, city, village, mileage is excellent, looks attractive, speed is like wind if you give a challenge you can beat any of the car. crazy racing, when you sit on the bike so it feels like going on a long ride, the bike was specially made for travel.

Buying experience
I bought this bike on march 2022 from malappuram suzuki showroom in kerala. I got it for 218000 on road. I choose the bike delivered in the showroom 2 days back, with a manufacturing date within a month (to avoid getting possibly misused bike). The delivery experience was really nice.
Riding experience
It is a perfect bike for those who want just one bike for both daily, and city use and for weekly touring. It has decent low-end torque which makes it easy to ride in cities. Just release the clutch in first gear, and the bike will go at 12 kmph speed without touching the accelerator (in 2nd gear, at 18 kmph). It has good ground clearance, so coupled with good low-end torque helps in handling mild off-roads as well. On the highway, you can tour all day at 90 to 120 kmph without any vibrations. After 120, you'll feel little vibes in the foot pegs and seats, and it can reach up to 154 kmph at which the rpm limiter kicks in. The seating position is very comfortable for a sports bike, so long-distance touring is not an issue.
Looks, performance, etc.
It looks superb from the sides and back. I'm not a great fan of its front design as it is a little lowered (inspired from katana's design). But if you put on a tall visor, this problem might get solved. The headlight is very good. Even low beam gives you good visibility. The performance is very decent, and you'll be able to beat most vehicles in the road in terms of acceleration. I tested its mileage multiple times, and i always got in the range of 38 to 41. For me, it has the perfect balance between performance and mileage.
Servicing and maintenance
It is the cheapest 250cc to maintain. As it is the only bike with a fully oil-cooled system (let me tell you, it is suzuki's patented technology, and even better than many liquid cooling systems found in other bikes in this segment), there is no need for coolant, and no oil-coolant mixing issue (very common in ktms and bajaj). It cost me around 1100 rupees for 1st service and less than 900 rupees for the second service.
Pros and cons
Definitely, the pros outweigh the cons. I already mentioned every major pro. Now coming to the cons. It's wind visor is too small, but you can find many after-market options (rr310's visor is a good option). Being a sohc engine, there is a little bit of vibration at higher rpms (above 6-7k), but not a big issue (i think only those used to honda and yamaha bikes will notice this). Gear shift is precise, but a little hard (but you won't notice it if you use good footwear). Back seat is comfortable but positioned a little higher, so climbing is a little difficult.
Conclusion -> it is a seriously underrated machine. I'd say you must take a test ride of this beast if you're planning to buy a bike under 2.5 lakhs.
