Increasing the speed of the Suzuki Raider R150 is SERIOUS BUSINESS, as it is already one of the fastest under-bone motorcycles in its class. But it CAN be made to go faster, with a few modifications: to the exhaust system and the engine's ports.

I MUST STRESS THIS: Engine modifications of this sort are best done by Licensed SUZUKI RACING TEAM Mechanics. As it is easy to DIY (Do It Yourself), it is also easier to waste a perfectly good motorbike with inexperience and misinformation: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY AN ENGINE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO. Neither should you have this done by a mechanic who is NOT experienced with Suzuki Motorcycles. Still interested? Read on...

1.To start with, changing the exhaust pipe to a "CALIBRATED HEADER"- more commonly called an "open pipe" adds a bit more power, and thus, speed. A "CALIBRATED HEADER" is an exhaust pipe that is DESIGNED TO MAXIMIZE EXHAUST OUTPUT without compromising BACK PRESSURE or RETURN PRESSURE to the exhaust port valves. Plainly speaking, the exhaust pipe should be made by a company that is known to have designed pipes for the Raider R150 using SCIENTIFIC METHODS in auto mechanics. A pipe that is not designed this way will only add more noise to your Raider than power and speed.

2. Get a reputable EXPERIENCED mechanic to POLISH THE PORTS (Intake and Exhaust) of your Raider engine. This will involve SHAVING and SMOOTHING the insides of the ports so that the gasoline and air mixture enter the engine in greater amounts and the exhaust is expelled more rapidly. Doing too much of this is IRREVERSIBLE and will do more harm to the engine than good.

3. Purchase RACING CAMS- these will open and close the intake and exhaust valves more efficiently and will result in better acceleration and thus, speed. Have these installed by a Licensed Suzuki Motorcycle Mechanic or your valves may break (very expensive repair) or your engine may blow apart (MORE expensive repair).

Once done perfectly, WEAR YOUR HELMET AND PROTECTIVE GEAR, go out to a race-track and test the modifications BEFORE you drive your bike on populated roads.

There are other modifications you can do to make your Suzuki Raider R150 go even faster, but...if you're looking for more speed, maybe you should buy yourself a bike with a bigger engine AND a reputation for speed.

How can you save gasoline of suzuki raider r150?

The Suzuki Raider R150 is a machine that is built for sports and speed. It is for this reason that the motorcycle does not have a utility box/compartment, and it is also for this reason that it is the only underbone motorbike with a large engine and a small gas tank (4.9 liters). Riding the Suzuki R150 at speeds of 100 KPH and above will cause the engine to consume 1 liter of gasoline in 23 to 26 kilometers. If you wish to save gasoline on a Raider 150, try riding the motorcycle at no more than 6,000 RPM on the tachometer, and stay close to 80 KPH. This will result in a fuel consumption of about 1 liter in 26 to 29 kilometers.


What is the difference of Suzuki Raider 150 from Suzuki Raider R150?

I have both the Suzuki Raider 150 (2005 Model) and the Suzuki Raider R150 (2007 Model). The two major differences are: 1. The R150 has an electric starter. On my R150, I have removed the kickstarter, because I never use it. 2. The R150 has a larger engine cowling. Older motorcyclists call them "air scoops", which direct more air into the cooling fins on the engine. Technically, then, the R150 is "cooler" than the older model. This becomes apparent on long drives. The longest I have ridden my older Suzuki is 4 hours straight, and on the R150, I have driven 7 hours with just one 15-minute stop for lunch after a five-hour run. The R150 has an electric starter and a more complete engine cowling system. The cowling or " air-scoops" direct more air into the engine's cooling fins, resulting in a cooler engine. The electric starter makes the R150 about 1.15 kilograms heavier than the older Raider 150. The rear brake pump on the R150 is located lower and at a shallower angle than the rear brake pump on the older Raider. This is an important fact to consider when buying third party REAR SETS (These are foot-peg, brake, and gear-shift lever assemblies that move the foot-peg position more than 4 inches towards the rear of the bike, resulting in a more crouched driving position for higher speeds). Usually, a new REAR SET made for a Raider 150 rather than a Raider R150 will be a problem to attach because the rear brake pump is in an awkward position and will not align with the bolt holes on the new REAR SET.


What is more faster between fz16 or suzuki raider 150?

I think raider and fz16 more or less has the same top speed but the thing is that raider having a four valve engine and having less weight, accelerate more faster than the fz16. So it will take much time for the fz to reach his top speed than the king of the underbone. I definitely agree still love riding my r150 - 1st edition


How fast can a stock Raider R150?

You probably mean how fast IS a Stock Suzuki Raider R150? Speed tests are a very dangerous thing to do on a Raider 150. I must stress that YOU DO NOT SPEED TEST A SUZUKI RAIDER 150 OR R150 on stock tires (IRC 70-90 and IRC 80-90), as they fail to stop safely at more than 100 KPH. Neither do you make a speed test if you are not AT LEAST 5 years experienced in driving beyond 120 KPH.For speed tests, wear high cut leather shoes (steel-toe preferably), elbow, arm, knee, and shin protectors, and full motorcycle body armor. Wear a closed-face helmet of good quality.That having been said : A whole lot depends on your body weight. I have a stock Raider R150 2008 and a modified Raider 150 2005 model. A lot also depends on what type of road you are riding, what tires you have on, and the engine's revolutions when you change gears.I tip the scales at 152 lbs. My stock Raider R150 has Dunlop 80-80 Low-Profile rear tires and Michelin Pilot Sporty 70-90 front. Changing gears at 10,000 RPM, my Raider started out peaking at 9,500 RPM on 6th gear at 135 KPH after break-in. This was on a 7 km. empty stretch of asphalt road, slightly angled down, 15 degrees. This increased to 140 kph after 3000 kms. If you find enough clear road to actually start changing gears only at 11,000 RPM, a stock raider can pull to 150 KPH if your weight is around 150 lbs. Again, the secret is to shift gears at 11,000 RPM and to find a clear, safe track to do this. Usually it's hard enough to find an empty, safe stretch of road to use the Suzuki Raider's 6th gear.A race-track is the best place to test your Suzuki Raider. Remember to always wear a helmet and safety gear when driving.


What is the km-liter of Suzuki raider 150?

The Suzuki Raider 150 and the Suzuki Raider R150 both go 35 kilometers on a liter of fuel. This, of course, presumes that your average speed is 80 KPH. On any of my two Raiders (i have both the 2005 and the 2007 models), I will usually trim this down to about 30 to 32 kilometers per liter when I travel beyond 80 kph and do freeway bursts of 120-130 kph. I hope this answers your question.

What is the use of RPM of Suzuki raider r 150?

From the very first day you ride your Suzuki Raider R150, the "rpm" indicator, more properly called your TACHOMETER, is a very important tool. Knowing how to use it is the key to getting the most out of your machine. Breaking in your R150 is easier if you keep the tach at 3,500 to 6,000 RPM (engine REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE) and keep riding at this level until your digital trip meter, or ODOMETER, reads 800.00 km. (The odometer is the small digital number strip on top of the BIGGER speedometer digits- which read "0" when the motorbike is not in motion and increases as the motorbike picks up speed. It doesn't really matter how fast or how slow your R150 is going- JUST KEEP THE RPM LEVEL at 3,500 to 6,000 to BREAK IN the motorbike's engine- that is, getting it CONDITIONED for riding. Once you have hit 800 kilometers of ride on the "ODO", you can now ride with the engine a bit ANGRIER, at 6,000 to 8,000 RPM. Ride the bike with the TACH at this level until the odometer reads 1,600 KM. After 1,600 KM. at this very strict practice of TACH-CONTROL, you may now ride the R150 at full throttle. The next use of your tachometer will be for full control of the bike while shifting gears and riding comfortably...OR blisteringly fast. Changing gears on a SOFT RIDE (which is the recommended daily routine for work-day driving and busy city travel) should be made at 5,500 to 6,500 RPM. This way the engine is in MEDIUM revolution and will not jerk forward or snap you backwards. Now for the HARD RIDE (for weekend rides, open roads and the race track: for a stock R150 the best HIGH REV range for shifting gears is 9,000 to 10,000 RPM. You may experience a "coughing engine" if you remain at 10,000 RPM for a few seconds- that is because the stock R150 engine is LIMITED by its electrical circuits and CAPACITOR DISCHARGE IGNITION (CDI) from going beyond this level. It keeps the R150 safe and WITHIN GOVERNMENT-APPROVED SAFETY STANDARDS. FOR THE RACE RIDE: Assuming you have purchased a RACING CDI, the R150 is now PARTIALLY SET-UP to race. There is a RED PORTION on the tachometer. It starts at 11,500 RPM. During a race, or a blisteringly fast ride, changing gears within the RED LINE portion of the tach brings out what the R150 engine was designed for: superior speed, power, and endurance. But always remember: the people who live to tell the tale of how to use the R150 tachometer best, how fast a Suzuki Raider R150 can really go, and what it can do on the road ARE THE PEOPLE WHO RIDE WISELY, WITH SAFETY GEAR, A TOTAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE ROADS THEY TRAVEL, and GAIN EXPERIENCE BY DRIVING SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY and learn to keep traffic rules and regulations in their minds all the time. You want to have all-out fun with a Suzuki Raider R150? Take it to a race-track and put on your safety gear and helmet. Drive with your eyes on the track. Ride safely.
