Re: Honda CBR 250R

Tagging [MENTION=32286]psr[/MENTION] sir, AFAIK, an ABS unit either disengages completely or works full time, it doesn't intermittently work. In case of rain affected ABS unit, I'd suggest you to check your ABS wires, for any frayed insulation and loose contact. Rainy time is where you'd require your ABS to be fully functional. My personal suggestion would be to start with wiring, and then proceed to the big stuff. If a sensor is kaput, it would store an error code in the ECU, though the retrieval process is a bit tricky.

Cheers!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Oh, i thought if the sensors start feeding false data the ABS might engage or not engage when in need.The diagnostic tools the svc have should help show up the error codes if any. Isn't it ?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

ABS sensors don't feed wrong data da. If a sensor is kaput, it will automatically record an error code registered as per it's log in the ECU, and that makes the ABS renderless. Actually the DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) can be found out by bypassing the DLC to the SCS which means we get to see the codes by the blinking FI light (Jugaad style) never know how the SVC chaps do since I haven't checked any with them. But yes they should have some sort of tool or even they might use the same bybass techniques.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Agree with you B7ACKTHORN....The ABS in any vehicle works by counting the number of Pulses from the wheel through the pickup. If the pulses are missing or for some reason the ABS encounters Error code on own self due to component failures, the ABS disengages . Wetness and Electrical/Electronics do not like each other . Oxidation of contacts leads to loose contact and problems.

[QUOTE=B7ACKTHORN;1165457]sir just for curiosity ..do u still own both cbr n ktm....and can u gives a little update of ur cbr and where cbr delivers better or worse compared to ur previous pulsar and ktm.....

Re: Honda CBR 250R

[QUOTE=ronitgandhi24;1165573]Hi, Ronit. Well, yes I currently have them both in my stable. KTM excels in everything, period. But if you want me to break it down, then here's my personal summation

Let's start off with looks first, undoubtedly the CBR for me, it's just gorgeous to watch it all day especially the ABS ones.
Subpar suspension setup, even at the factory setting, the suspension setup is very notchy and unpredictable, high speed handling on uneven roads must be dealt with extreme care. The front is softer by default, and that affects cornering characteristics. Though it can be tweaked (rear preload) my ex 220 suspension swallowed undulations better.
Butter smooth operation of engine and transmission. Though a little vibey post 7k but not to disturb ones composure.
Engine is pretty much rev happy.
Excellent build quality in the 250cc Indian category.
Not a fantastic, but a really really good tourer, say a decent all rounder.
Weight is on the higher side, superb riding dynamics, aids in very good high speed stability but a dog in the hills, especially if you get into traffic jams riding uphill. CBR owners will have stronger left feet ��

Newer ones are shod with MRF rubber, very very good performance. Decent and does the job well, wet grip is commendable.
You need the rev the bike post 6k to know what the real deal is, anything less is just a dog on congested roads.


If you want to talk about KTM

Things I diss, crazy wide handlebars, not to my liking.
Harder front sus setup, but this is what makes it exceptional handler around hills. Still gets brownie points
Less tank range....frequent stops to the gas station.
Crud throw, even with those fenders mud splash is close to your elbows, and the rear is always a mess, incredible pain in the posterior to do the clean up work.
Wind blast, again subjective.
Again it isn't an excellent package, but a fantastic vfm package.

End of the day, both are beautiful machines.

I'd still prefer the CBR for long rides over KTM.

Cheers!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Update: the issue was due to water in fuel tank..
The drain hole near fuel cap was blocked and that caused water to clogged and enter in fuel tank.
SVC guys opened the tank, drained the remaining fuel to find water and dirt.
I gave instructions not to pour the clean fuel out of this water fuel mixture though it will be around 4 ltr. Will not take any chance.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I recently saw these cracks on my rear tyre side wall.
Can anyone please let me know if they should be replaced or not.
And which tyres are better and economical?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I changed my battery after 2.5 years. No issues, just assumed battery was weak due to hl dimming when pressing horn. I got the amaron pro biker 9 ah costing 1800 fitted, after sawing off the plastic holder and adjusting the clamps. The battery fits in tight, so no worries about it bouncing around on bad roads.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Is it loosing air?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Mate, cracks on side walls are reason enough to change the wheels, specially for tubeless tyres you don't want to take chances, imagine rapid air leak when you are doing higher speeds, if that thought doesn't scare you then I do not know what will.
So better to change it now itself.

Doesn't amaron has any stock replacement battery which will go without any modifications ?
My bike is hitting 2 years in a few week,s thinking if i should go for a battery replacement, even though the stock battery hasn't shown any problems yet.

Cheers

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Amaron has a specific battery for CBR250 , kindly check the below link.


The story so far.. My Honda CBR 250R

And even my CBR is going to complete 2 years in fee weeks, but I will go ahead with battery change only when I sense that the battery can no longer start the engine in healthy manner.

There are cases where battery lasts much longer than 2 years, so check your battery condition before dumping it.
