Apparently the 10k rebate is not initiated by Suzuki Malaysia but by individual dealers. I wonder if gene advance is just offloading stocks and ending distributorship? 10k discount is huge per bike.

eang chun, welly, others oso got same offer wor

as usual sv650 not in the list

that would be weird because all suzuki distributor seems to be doing the rebate promotion.
eang chun, welly, wilhin, tm motoworld, etc

Oh really ar? I saw some was give 5k voucher. Probably smaller dealers kot. But damn 40k for the gsx-8s is a bloody good deal. If they can maintain that price it would be a killer sale

I don't trust 12000km oil change intervals even if that's what the manufacturer recommends, coz I can't imagine even synthetic oil going that long without having the oil level drop after the first 5000-6000km due to evaporative losses and normal oil consumption.

My manufacturer says my 3.2 litres of oil have to hold up for 10000km. In our hot climate? Hell no. The dealership says have to keep an eye on the oil level and top up when it drops. I decided not to bother and change the oil every 5000km anyway (keeping the filter), which is a simple enough job that can be done at any reputable workshop.

Major service intervals, now that's something else altogether. In my experience, valve clearance jobs may require a set of gaskets, seals and o-rings to be replaced, regardless of whether or not you need new shims. Pricey little buggers, these. Whether or not their costs are factored in up front by the dealer, that's the question to ask.

Wonder if anyone saw or ridden Gixxer 250 Naked Bike?

I really keen in it vs Dominar 400 since it is light bike for fun ride.

Rarely seen on on the road except GSX 150 once.

And checked before no discount for Gixxer 250 too, not sure if still the same or not?

Just wonder why not? I really like the bike for what it is being as basic B full bike

arguably yes.. and its gone for good in the whole world since suzuki is stopping the production to give way for their new parallel twin platform

for the same price, almost u get alot more in gsx8s... jz hv to imagine it looks like sv..
when u r riding u cant see the bike most of the time.. lol..

no news of discontinuation yet so far..
susuki msia stop bring in.. itu lain cerita...

good for them, imo the sv650 look is timeless

yes surely it is better spec but somewhat I am attracted the SV650 being very kosong with only bare essential (ABS/low rpm assists) without any fancy electronics.

For some reason sat ontop on gsx8s and my feet cant really touch the shifter lever due to my feet being out-toeing.

Also the bike was wider too due to twin parallel design

Yes, looked old skool for sure which make me like it.
Again usually what its hot and desirable for the rest of the world its not applicable here in malaysia

In my manual there's another section that gives the service interval for European climate and it lists the service interval at 10k km or 1 year. I think most people would be hitting the 1 year limit before 10k km anyway.

Faster buy the sv650 then. I still see some places listing it. But the gsx-8s at 40k is a serious steal of a bike considering everything you're getting. The sv650 is probably gonna outlive the 8s in the really really long run though

Biggest fears with these new bikes nowadays is how long can that TFT meter last in our climate especially. Changing that out is gonna be a super expensive affair.

Yes the price is defo tempting, the shop i went to just totally bypass sv650 and ask me to look at this instead (at the time no discount/rebate yet so I suspect he want higher commision lol)

I think the same applies to car that are packed with electronic gizmos too that would start to go down and would be damn expesnive to replace, not to mention is new product so long term durability is still unknown yet.

Had some older car which is now worthless to sell off but still able to go about anywhere.

That why my current car also quite kosong in tech but came with unkillable ESC (unless plug out the fuse manually) which make life sucks on track day

Now with the discount, just get it. Though now new year liao dunno still valid anot that price.

At least car somewhat protected, bike for the tft display it's exposed to the direct sunlight when parked in the open.

i would save up to ~20k and buy the sv used in cash
tht's more worth it in my opinion.
