    Good Luck..
    Totally agree with you here sir. Shivang has risked it all to make his bike better and better everytime. But then he also did something that should be much appreciated for. Where other people when after getting the work on their bike regarding any common issues don't even care to share a brief information, [MENTION=32641]shv18[/MENTION] here has shared every single experience of his. The amount of patience he has, the time he has dedicated not just for himself but also for us to know and rectify the issues, is worth many many praises.
    And after reading his post, there were many times he mentioned about you [MENTION=32286]psr[/MENTION] sir. And how you have helped him whenever he needed you. You sir deserve a much huge respect here for helping someone to locate his exact issue sitting thousands of miles away. Huge respect to you both sir.
    Cheers

    The bike is an absolute delight. The engine is seamless but I have to change a lot cosmetically.
    And the usual basic changes and inspection is to be done.

    I am going to try the rimula treatment as the bike is 6 years old and I think itna to banta hi hai .
    Ordered the 5 litre can of shell rimula r4 from amazon for this .

    For now, there's no engine shut off problem in my bike, so, I am not in a rush to try the earth wire mod.

    I previously had a 125 cc suzuki zeus and this bike is way more buttery smooth and the pickup is super.

    I am a very heavy biker (5' 10", 125 kg) I will also be checking a heavy biker's compatibility with this sports tourer bike in coming future.

    Thanks to this amazing informational post about cbr 250r started by @shv18 and enriched by many bikers such as @psr, @aargee and many more.

    I hope to add any useful info that I get while riding this bike.

    Thank you so much for this amazing post of Honda cbr 250r.

    Cheers !!!!
    Congratulations buddy. New or used, doesn't matter. The CBR is as refined as any 250cc bikes can get. Enjoy your ride.
    Ride safe. Cheers.

    I thank everyone for the suggestion for the bike tire change to Michelin pilot street radial. Especially [MENTION=32641]shv18[/MENTION]. The tires are just... Spot on. Amazing grip. And the bike always wants to corner. Crazy tires I must say. [emoji14]

    Thank you. Yes I've already got these from the market. Now just waiting for the some time to perform the earthing mod. If you are doing it, please do tell me the difference you feel after the mod.

    If you are not comfortable doing this then please get it done by a mechanic. Should not take more than 15-20 mins if you know what you are doing.[ATTACH]233563[/ATTACH]
    Thanks bro.
    You cleared my doubt.
    I was just unsure of allen 5 and didn't want to break anything . I do most of the work on my bike myself and this is just a simple task and you made it even easier.

    Thanks again

    Secondly, the earth wire mod is something which even I want to do but is currently not quite sure how to. But I have spoken to the guy in Honda SVC who services my bike for me and he has agreed to do the earthing mod for me. All I need to do is get the 10mm gauge wire of 60cm with two battery adapter/ terminals and get the soldering done on them quite strong as he suggested. And remaining he will do. The best I can do is try to make a video of this mod when he does this so it is more easy for everyone who wants to try this mod but not quite sure on some areas on how to. Kindly give me some days since I am currently caught up with some work.
    Cheers.

    I dont want to apply much pressure which might break something.

    If anyone could point me in right direction here, i ll be thankful

    Well apart from this i have a small query for those who have performed earth wire mod which is a big discovery for us poor souls who are facing random shutoff issues at wrong time in traffic. Kudos to [MENTION=32641]shv18[/MENTION]

    On the first servicing itself I changed the oil to shell advanced ultra 4t 10w40. And I must say, what an amazing feel. The butter smooth engine and gear shifts just won my heart. But the only problem was when I would try to redline my bike, I was not satisfied with the performance then. Not that it was some issue, but then being a lover for redlining the RPM (the CBR made me the hooligan :P) I wanted more of it. Anyways, just did my second servicing a couple of days back. I changed the oil to Motul 7100 10w40. And WOWWWWW!!!!! I JUST LOVE IT. One thing that I experienced is if you want a smooth and calm ride, the shell advanced is best (Hands Down). But if you are a sucker for redlining, go for motul.

    Good Luck
    Thank you [MENTION=32286]psr[/MENTION] sir for your response. I will surely look into it and make sure I don't buy any cheap parts that might cost my life.

    Please do not go for cheap brake pads. Brakes are one of the most important part of your bike and safety. DO NOT compromise on them at any cost. Atleast get the stock OEM pads if not better.
