. I have read almost all reviews on CBR 250 on various websites and just have one question, what is difference in new CBR 250 when compared to the older model. I am eagerly waiting for your response, thank you in advance.

There is no difference, apart from colors and the tyres are changed from contigo to mrfs when delivered.

Cheers,
Sanjay

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Went about fitting hard luggage side boxes on my CBR 250R. Sideboxes are easily available Studds Safari model. Not very robust but will do the job and is lockable.

Left side was easy with brackets attached to the standard saree guard fixture points and an extra support to the left side pillion footrest

Right side needed a small cut in the matte black plastic cladding below the grab rails. One support was bolted below the grab rail using the same bolt as the grab rail. One support was fixed to the right side pillion footrest.

Adult Pillion can sit comfortably.

Overall I feel it was worth the price (750x2 + 500 = 2000/- INR). Left side pannier seems to have a little rattling. Will use it for a few rides and see what can be done.

Looking for an alternative to the givi top box stand to complete the touring package along with panniers.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hello Guys I am currently riding KTM RC 390. The bike is really uncomfortable and the power delivery is not at all linear. Its really snatchy. If someone who has experience with RC 390 could tell me if I am gonna live happily with CBR or not. I mean i am downgrading from a more powerful machine. Please help and please guide.

If you ask me then following is that you have to decide:
1. There is no substitute to power.
2. Handling is much awesome in RC than CBR.
3. It's light but CBR is heavy.
4. CBR does good 140kmph and can gp upto 150Kmph+
5. CBR is relaxed and practical bike
6. Power delivery is linear and efficient for touring and city ride.
7. Average is 30-35kmpl
8. Can do easily 120kmph whole day.
9. Both has ABS
So now my conclusion:

If you are think the following then stay with RC:
1. If wanna do quick 100-120-140kmph.
2. If you want light bike and great racer handling.

If you want the following then stay go for CBR:
1. Relaxed Ride
2. Pillion seat
3. Tour long distance due to relaxed average sport riding style
4. Can live with 120-130kmph and bo urge for quick 140-150kmph+
5. Average of 30kmpl+

Now you decide.

If you are heavy weight then RC is of no use go with CBR for riding position.

I think it can be done but it would be too many parts, starting from speedometer, brakes and ABS itself. this seems very costly affair.

Not possible easily...You would need many things to be change. Starting with nissin brake units front and rear.
+ abs unit, levers

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Went and did PDI of the bike today. Registration on Monday. I should take delivery on Monday evening. I got myself a MT Blade helmet and a Spartan Hyperion jacket today. Need to get riding boots and gloves. Have a dilemma between knee protectors or riding pants.

Has something wrong happened while refitting everything...?

Since its a small issue and I asked both SVC's if it causes any major problem they said no so I didn't bothered much about checking

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.

Cheers,
Sanjay

Originally posted by B7ACKTHORN View Post

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.

Cheers!

Should I take it to service center or live with it, because with 2 bars showing and these kind of coughs, it becomes difficult to check when the bike has low fuel.

The Fuel Indicator works by the relative position of a float inside the Petrol Tank. As the petrol starts to go down in level, the float starts to go down towards the bottom of the Tank. This varies a resistor inside the tank. Just to ensure that any loose contact in the resistor does not cause any spark inside tank, the voltage is kept at a very low level...sediments and old petrol esp., water vapour makes the nichrome wire wound resistor to develop loose contact and hence the wrong level reading....The best alternate is to keep a mental check on the FE one gets with the bike and on filling calculate mentally when the tank will be down to 2 liters and fill it up again. Dependency on the Fuel Gauge is not fool proof , due to the sensor developing loose contact.
The engine temperature sensor is a thermo couple bolted directly to the coolant system and seldom fails. The thermostat in the path of the coolant flow is more likely to fail by not opening fully and allowing lesser circulation of coolant through radiator...
Just my Thought.

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.

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

Originally posted by Iam_Hoodi_CBR View Post

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.

Hello all,

First of all sorry, if I have quoted many posts.

After filling the tank to the fullest, I checked the average and I got around 330kms clocked with the full tank and still it was showing 2 bars. So air inside the pump was nullified. It had something to do with the floater.

I went to vihaan honda thane, spoke to the senior mech (abdul) and informed about the issue. Mumbai folks and [MENTION=26407]aargee[/MENTION] is aware of the work done by abdul. So no questions on his ability.

We removed the remaining fuel from the tank in a can and to my shock it was still showing 2 bars

. Then to further check we removed the fuel pump and started examining it and what we see that the floater is damaged

:banghead: which does not beyond certain limit. So we had to replace the fuel indicator/floater. But as the part is not available they will order 1 and get it changed under warranty.

""The reason shared by abdul for the fuel gauge going kaput was that the fuel station folks enter the entire nozzle into the tank and force the fuel into the tank, during this process the force of the fuel was so much that the mechanism which moves the floater up and down suffered and hence false readings""

As of now I am living with the issue and once the floater is available, will get it changed.

The cost of the fuel floater/gauge is 2500rs:banghead:.

Hope this helps

Cheers,
Sanjay

Wow, so what can you try to stop this.
The fuel station workers will not allow you to touch the nozzle

The floater is on the left hand side of the tank. So ask the fuel station worker to fill the tank by putting the nozzle to the right hand side.

Yeah i had somewhat same issue with my cbr250.
it used to show 2 points of fuel even after the fuel tank was empty.
I showed it to the svc and he said that there is some issue with the fuel pump or one of the thing inside the tank ( sorry i cant remember exactly what ), then after he had checked there was some kind of carbon formed to that part and it wasnt letting the floater travel all the way. He cleaned it up (idk how ) and the fuel guage worked fine it even started to blink in reserve, as i had no idea about it blinking all i thought was it gets to 1 point and thats it shows nothing less.
