Depends on what are the service maintenance you are doing at a single time. Generally for an oil change and minor adjustment like chain clean-lube-adjust, wash, battery checkups and other minor checkups fits the bill within Rs. 1500. If you opt for any other oil than Honda throttle then this might come down a bit more.

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.

Hollow stem nuts are good in my opinion if you ask me than the open types, water ingress, rust, looking bad, chrome stem nuts kinda add to the bling and what not from aesthetic point of view. Front ram mount do require some DIY to get them in place correctly. Check out this video, this should be the case for a good stem nut ram mount. The space is restricted in the clipons for a handlebar mount, but I'd suggest it's cheap, efficient and should do the trick.

why 1k ? 4500 should a good interval

infact it will be exactly opposite. honda's oil is far cheaper than oil's outside. like motul/shell.

aaah! right. I was in a impression that Shell FS Oil 2L costs around Rs. 800-900, but that's the price of 1L. Are you using this one? Shell Advance Ultra 550025035 10W-40 Fully Synthetic Motorbike Engine Oil (1 L): Amazon.in: Car & Motorbike

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hey Guys... I am new to this thread... Did anyone bought new CBR in last 1-2 months or so .. if yes... can you guys give some heads up regarding the bike..?

I am waiting for new model... not sure if its arrived?

**jack_daniels** · 10-27-2015, 05:26 PM

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Guys, I was going to buy the Duke 390. Did TD, etc. Imho it's quite rough & restless. Then went to the Honda showroom & saw a Repsol Honda CBR 250r & fell in love. My question is whether there are plans of launching the new CBR 250r/300r by Honda? If I buy 250 now, I fear it might be outdated very soon.
How is the resale value of CBR 250 Repsol edition? I heard CBR 150 resale is good, but 250 might be a problem. Is it true?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Jack,

Well... there is no info about CBR300 launch in india which even I m waiting for... changed my decision to buy 250 in the hope of new 300 cbr... i guess you should look for some other alternatives if you fear that it might be outdated...

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Dropped my bike at the SVC after a roadtrip of about 2500kms, just to change the cone set and disc pads (changed oil and filter by myself, coolant too). Got a call today saying that the front caliper is jamming and i need to change it. I told the mech that it was fine when i dropped in for the service, and how was it jamming suddenly? Asked him if he'd tried bleeding the oil, incase there was an air lock, he said that there wasn't an air lock (however did not confirm the bleeding part). Told him to put the old brake pads in and that i'd pick up the bike tomorrow.

Can anybody tell me what would be the probable reasons for the caliper jamming? And if i could somehow rework it without having the need to buy a new caliper? A new caliper costs somewhere around 2K.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Didar Honda chennai told me my brake calipers were jamming too. I told the mech to leave it alone strictly, since I had no problems with the brakes. But later, I found that if I braked hard, or just pumped the front brakes a couple times when idle, the front wheel rotates slower, and the front brake rotor becomes super hot after a ride, even if I didn't use the front brakes during. Another thing I noticed is my brakes don't have progressive bite. Anything other than a light pull of the lever will cause my front wheel to lock at low speeds below 40. I have been thrown off the bike twice due to this, so I adjusted my technique to pull-release-pull similar to the abs technology.

That's bad man... There has to be some way to repair it. I've also noticed the general trend in most of the SVC's in chennai, irrespective of the brand, to just replace parts rather than troubleshoot. It'd be great, if the prices of the parts were low!

**leech** · 10-27-2015, 08:25 PM

Re: Honda CBR 250R

It nets them more cash, no wonder they're fond of that method. Personally I don't see the need for caliper change, since my front pads lasted 18k kms with still some bite.

As far as I know there can be two reasons, the slider pins on the caliper, they might be rusted/worn in leech's case or there is a leak inside the front brake hose which doesn't allow the fluid to come back to the reservoir meaning, the fluid is in place, so you touch the brakes it grabs almost instantly.

I'd suggest remove the caliper, give it some good pressurized air clean up, remove all the pins, lubricate them with grease install them back with new pads, purge the brake system, fill in new Preferably DOT 4 (not topping up) and see how it fares, if you still have issues then you might have problems with either the hose or the master cylinder.

Joe Niranjan Paul, since you've had this issue popped up after service, I think this might be due to a shoddy job or you might never know, your brake components were just hanging in there and gave up after the stuff had been opened. Either way try the above procedure, if should be of help, hopefully.

Cheers!

300 will not come, new 250r is just sticker change and rest 100% same. if you want new graphics wait out. else get the current one.

dude.. DO NOT BUY A NEW CALIPER... there is something called as o rings for floating pistons. hardly costs 200 bucks.
lemme explain.

what exactly happening here is when you press the brake the piston are pushed forward and work however when you release the lever the pistons are not going back. now due to this the calliper sticks to the disc getting over heated which then destroys many other things. he rings over which the piston runs and keep the oil from coming out have gone bad/rot/deformed.

ask them to open the calliper and remove the floating pistons. those pistons run with 2 oil seals each called as (50 number , 52/54 number ) as them to replace both the oil seals. clean and rub the pistons well and then put in new fluid. that is all needs to be done.

if still in doubt. lemme know will explain in details.

with labour + parts should not be more than 500 bucks....

see this picture : http://pop.h-cdn.co/assets/cm/15/05/...per-4-0309.jpg

and get the dust seal and O-ring changed and yes HONDA SVC DOES sell it seperate part. ask them if they do not have it ask them to get it.
else try some other SVC. they should have this in the inventory
