Ohhh....I always thought that the yellow light only flashes when there is an issue with the fuel injection or the engine

Hi aaddey,

The yellow light will not flash to show issues with battery.

If the battery is not able to crank the engine when starter button is pressed, a relay will cut battery from the system and reconnect back the next second to protect the electronic components from the weak source. Due to this the ECU starts to do the initial system check and yellow light starts to glow. When u repeat pressing the start button the relay will cut battery and reconnects it and you see yellow light coming on for every unsuccessful starting of engine due to weak battery.

And as you said yellow light flashes when (mostly without pressing the start button) ECU detects any issues FI/Electronics only.

Hi Jon,

It's very late to reply in this, please find the below post(almost 2 years old) if you have not already found it, it has details about a portable stand to be used on long tour.

You gotta check the output of the battery with a multimeter. If it's below 10 volts, the battery is kaput, and the replacing it is the best option. If it's not, then you can try recharging it again, and testing it out. When leaving the bike without usage for long periods of time, it is advisable to disconnect the terminals, so discharge doesnt take place. A battery also tends to lose charge faster in cold conditions. I usually remove it and keep it in my room, plus chennai isnt really a cold place!

My ceeber is 4 years this December. Still gets me excited as she did on day 1.

Yeah, the battery heads are disconnected but it has been kept inside the bike. Let's see what I can find after I reach home.

Thank you; its an year old oil & Shell has changed the manufacturing technology & as usual, we, as end users could not (atleast I) make out any noticeable difference; nevertheless, you really got a great deal for sure, its nearly the manufacturers price.

If you are planning to not use the bike for long period of time it is always advisable to disconnect battery.

Yeah yeah, the battery has been disconnected but it's inside the bike but I don't thibk that's any problem. Just curious to know what happens to a battery in this kind of situation; i.e. Battery is in unused condition for close to an year with head disconnected.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hello. I will be getting my CBR250r in couple of days. Going for Red-Silver CBR250r C-ABS (used). The first owner is still using ContiGo tire in front which is complately bald and he has put CEAT ZOOM D in rear which is in good condition. But as I will be riding the bike to my home baroda from pune, I am thinking of changing both the tires. Now the dillema is MRF or Michelin. I am getting Michelin Street Radial tire set (front & rear) in 8600 INR and MRF Revz C 150/60 (rear) for 3200 INR and Revz FC 110/70 (front) for 2300 INR (set in 5500 INR). For which one should I go? My daily riding will be from home to office, weekend rides (with little cornering) and more of touring. Is that necessary to keep both, front and rear tires of same make and treads or it is ok to have combination of tires (like MRF in front and Michelin in rear)? Is it ok to put MRF Revz C 150/60 tire in rear though stock size is 140/70? Now suggest please ASAP.

Go for the Michelin set. Worth the extra moolah (I got them on mine). But make sure you find the "Made in Thailand" label on them, because there are a few duplicates in the market.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Thanx Niranjan. If i am able to get made in Thailand Michelin tire, I'll go for it, otherwise will go for MRF

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Guys, any idea if the hollow type stem nut is still kept as stock in the SVC which used to come with the older CBR's, mine is the closed type and I am thinking of getting a RAM mount kit which an be fixed into the stem nut area.
If not I am looking into Yoshimura stem nets, comes at around $28. Also need to check if any shops here in India actually stock these Yoshi nuts.

BTW, Did some 3-4k kms just after completing the tyres to Michilins, have to say the whole feel of the bike had changed, particularly because i was running on a really pathetic 19k run contigos with constant pressure drop and minute punctures. Need to get steel braided lines for the brakes and a fork overhaul and the bike will be as good as new again. The Shell oil is doing wonders , bike runs much smoother and gear shifts are slicker for sure even after 4k kms. Might change oil within another 1k kms or so.

Cheers
Ride Safe
Krishna
