Happened with my cbr also. Used wd-40 generously and the problem is gone.

Made the initial payment today. Loan process, invoicing might take 2-3 working days. If it is done in 2-3 working days I might take delivery of the bike on Wednesday next week. In case of delay registration might happen on either Wednesday or Friday of next week. Delivery on Saturday if so. Fingers crossed. Can't wait to ride it

Congrats, looks very nice. But May is a very long period from September. What has the bike been doing over there?. Just make sure they didn't use that for TD purpose. Especially note the tire treads and rubber finish levels. And how much does she cost to bring her home?.

Thanks Mohan!!!

There is no problem with fuel pump as I rode it yesterday and the bike was happy after I filled her full. The concern is why the fuel gauge.is showing false information. I was a bit sensible hence did not start the bike again after the big cough. If I was not aware about the fuel pump I could have fried it. And other thing, if the fuel gauge is showing false Information then I am skeptical about the temp gauage as well.

If there was an issue with your fuel gauge/temp gauge, the console lets us know this by flashing all those 6 bars (like it would flash when only one bar is left). I guess, if you had fuel gauge issues, the fuel bars should have flashed, just to let you know there is an issue so that you can head to your dealer as soon as possible. It's there in the manual. If your fuel system has problems, the fuel bars on the display will flash, all six of them, likewise if your cooling system has problems or if it overheats, the entire temp segment will flash.

Also the available fuel in the tank would be 2.5 liters when the last bar is standing, if that last segment flashes, then it's even less. This is when the bike is straight and upright.

I am aware about the last bar blinking and understand that at that point of time the bike hits reserve or indication of low fuel, buy why with 2 bars.

Before I take it to SVC and get pointed at a false direction, I need suggestions/solutions.

Folks, your suggestion please.

The last time I called they didnt have any CBR250R ABS version in stock. This time they have 2 May manufactured bikes in stock. It has been 3 months. I asked them and the showroom incharge told me that it came in June-July sometime and no bookings for it. Tire is brand new MRF Nylogrip and odo is not much as well. The cost of Repsol version is 2.17 lakhs on-road Chennai. One more week and can't wait to get my hands on the bike :-)

Hello all,

I did not ride my bike for a week or so, but it had 3 fuel bars on the indicator. Came from office early today and went for a short spin and the 3 bars became 2. All this time the speed was below 60kmph as i was in city limits. After 4-5 kms. The engine coughed as if the fuel got over. Switched off the engine and took it to the side and started the engine in neutral. It roared but the rpm fell down and thus shutting the engine. Gave a second try and again the same problem. Feared for fuel pump. Called my brother and took 3L of fuel from his bike and then started it. It was idling very normally then went to the nearest fuel station and filled her to the brim and then rode upto 80kmph and no hiccups and engine was running nicely.

Now the questions are as follows :

1: if there was less fuel, why it was showing 2 bars ?
2. All the time I did not go above 60kmph, why that big cough and engine shut itself off.
3. Is there any problem with metre console ? If yes then the temp gauage might be showing false information then.

Before all this problem occurred, I gave my tank for painting which had a scratch at honda, which meant disassembling the entire tank along with the fuel pump and etc and after repainting fit it again. Has something wrong happened while refitting everything...?

Hi Sanjay,
You have not mentioned the amount of fuel you have filled after this incident. With that you could have confirmed whether the fuel guage is showing wrong reading or not. And there could be many reason for that hickup. It could also be due to the fuel left in the tank idle for 1 week(this mostly depends on the quality of the fuel).
Even i faced an issue with bike not even cranking in gear with the clutch pressed, and this happened on 4th day after my purchase, but had not reappeared even after 2 years of my ownership. So yours could be a one time issue.

So ride normally until you face a similar issue, then you can worry about what could have caused it. As mentioned [MENTION=32286]psr[/MENTION] sir and [MENTION=39214]B7ACKTHORN[/MENTION] sir, the machine is build with high tollerance and if it fails it will indicate us. So keep your faith and ride on.

Welcome to the clan

Ram bhai, the fuel filled after the hickup was around 11.81 litres. And post filling her up the fuel indicator was showing 6 bars, there are no issues faced as of yet. I haven't lost my faith in the bike. I still trust it as much I had trust on the first day of purchase.

The total capacity of the bike's tank is 13 litres and when I filled her I filled 11.81L. So only 1.2L was left showing 2 bars[emoji27] .

Should I go ahead with cleaning of tank, which means remove all the fuel clean the tank and then fill her again ?

Cheers,
Sanjay

with 1.2L of fuel, I guess air might have entered the pump along with the fuel which caused engine to hick up and shut off.

The float might have given the wrong reading in this case, but wait till the next fuel stop and check if the float is again giving the false reading. If it is, then reach out to ASC to check the float assembly.

That was fast man! At 350rs is worth every penny.
The holder does its job pretty well. I've used it on many occasions inside the city as well as on highways.
And the only juggad i did, is to tape up the part where you remove the holder with duct tape since that is the weakest link. I remove the holder by unscrewing the plastic nut at the bottom rather than removing the holder where it clips on to the bottom part. I also applied some chain lube spray over the parts that move/expand outward, so that it expands freely and can be pushed back in.

Go ahead with whatever combo works for you And post some pics when its done, I am also looking for a waterproof case and your solution seems doable if the rynox waterproof pocket is a direct fit over this mounting

Hey guys,
any of the Michelin(front tyre) users felt a kind of jerkiness at low speed roll on ? I had mentioned about this previously, thought of it as cone set or shocks issue. But recently heard about someone facing same issue with the michelin front tyre. So just wanted to confirm if any such occurrences were faced by anybody else ?

Cheers
Ride Safe

Update:
Rynox waterproof mobile holder mounted on cbr250r rvm stem, no other position is possible.


Fly universal mobile holder on cbr handlebar, fitted near unused slot (dont know the purpose of that slot, may be handle mounted mirror)


Rynox box is not 'direct fit' on local holder.
The locking mechanism is having different dimensions on both holders.
But a juggad kind of thing, the locking mechanism was disintegrated and swapped so that rynox box with rynox lock set goes on local clamp

Now i can use the waterproof casing on handle bar with fly holder and no one can come and snatch my mobile when i am waiting at any signal[emoji12] [emoji12]
