i got more patience .. i had 27 puncture together in both tyres in a matter of 2 months.. beat that....
17 alone in rear tyre....

till 10k it worked fine.. from 10k to 12k... the torture started...

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Wow, 27!? The funny part is my front conti was punctured jus once. Jus the rear which gave me issues, the front is still on but I'm planning to change front n rear to mrf, ATM I'm running on a 140/60 mrf radial, this has been temporary fix since 12000km, at 17000km, by the next month I plan to change both.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I presume aargee is being sarcastic here.. Whenever he uses the word enlighten, I get that feeling..

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I was flattered either ways, but its OK...

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Increased tyre pressure gives better mileage at the cost of reduced braking, and louder yelping sounds when you ride over an unexpected bump/crater. Please do not keep it permanently at pressures above what's recommended. Thanks.

Why assumption there? He is, definitely!!! #nooffense

oh.. Paddock. Cool. He mentioned central stand hence i thought u mounted one on to the bike

But still post pics so that we can get an idea.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I don't think so, generally I see the color becoming blackish around 5K .

Re: Honda CBR 250R

One more question, sirs : how does the oil filter work? Is the oil pumped through the filter continuously, as the engine runs, or only initially, when the engine switch is turned on?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

The Oil will be circulated through the engine whenever the engine is running.

The oil pump is connected to the crankshaft with gearings so that pump will always be pumping oils to the places where ever required. During this the oil will be passing through the oil filter to filter suspended particles if any picked up by the oil from major part of the engine.

One of the main places for the oil to be circulated is to the cylinder walls or piston, so that when piston moves up and down the friction is reduced. The piston rings makes sure that it seals the oil from going into the combustion chamber.

Below is the paddock stand locally fabricated.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Found this video which explains about lubrication on IC engines.
Though not applicable for all engines, but explains the general working of oil inside the engine.

Can you share any other details like dimensions and thickness of rod which are used to make this stand? and a clearer image if possible

I have contacted a local fabricator, he said that cost would be around 1.5 to 2k(I know, its little on the higher side) with powder coating and stuffs, but he needs the bike to be available during the fabrication which is like half day, but I cant afford that time currently .

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I read an article which said the oil becoming dark is not an indicator to change the oil. It just means the oil is doing its job. And that gives me another doubt : why don't these companies give out their recommendations about oil change? Surely they know their product best, they would test it exhaustively before releasing it...

Re: Honda CBR 250R

The valid explanation for this could be as below :

Lets take for example shell oil, now the manufacturer cannot guarantee how long their oil will last as the end user uses it for different different motorcycles. Lets say shell oil in semi-synth form can be used in cbr as well ad other bikes too. But each bike has different running temp, like cbr will hardly cross 100 degree Celsius whereas a air cooled or a oil cooled engine will have way higher temp which will degrade the oil sooner.

Even the manufacturer of motorcycles exclusively say what kind of oil to be used for their product, but people go their own way and use different grade oil. So for manufacturer like shell or motul they cannot set a bench mark. On how long their oil will last, Because the end product in which the oil will be used changes and if they have to set a benchmark then they have to create different oil cans for specific motorcycles and that my friend is not possible.in any way.

This is the only reason I see why oil manufacturer apart from OEM ones do not mention any life For the oil in terms of kms clocked.

For OEM oils its a diff story as they are specifically created on motorcycle manufactuerer recommendation. Hence they can specify the intervals as it is their own product (i mean sort of their own product)

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I don't know the size or dimensions, I just went to the fabricator along with OEM paddock stand given by Honda and asked the fabricator to create the same for me, as the HONDA paddock was present in front of the fabricator. There was no issue regarding dimension. It was more of a copy paste job.

Regarding honda paddock stand, I went to the Svc and asked the manager to provide me with the paddock for few hours so that I can create mine from the fabricator and being a regular and trusted customer at the svc he happily agreed that I can take the paddock with me and he did not create any fuss on the time, I kept the stand with me for whole day.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Oil changing intervals depends on ur riding style, if u going keep revving the bike always in high Rpms the oil must be changed every 1500km, if u ride ur bike in a mixed manner 3000-4000km, if u keep u revs mostly below 5000rpm and with always gradual revving u can change the oil every 5000-6000km max, the persons at the service centre suggest every 5000-6000km but honestly it depends on how u ride.
