The area where it get sliding with end metal part of clutch cable hose. Looks like the clutch cable and hose is not aligned in a straight line. I could see some metal strands broken and came out from clutch cable. Any one from us faced the damage on clutch cable so soon?
    My clutch cable also had a similar break in the mentioned area, but mine lasted till 23k kms. If the inner wire is not alligned to the outer cover properly, then adjust the nut to see if you can get a correct angle, else ask the SVC mechanic to correct this.

    If SVC person says thats no issue, then ask a local mechanic to fix it.

          Do LED'S offer better light/life than CBR stock bulb? I remember the 20rs bulb which Honda gave was mildly irritating at night, whenever we pressed the brakes, that's how bright it was.

            LEDs consumes very less battery and have long life as compared to filament bulbs.

              How is the brightness compared to ordinary halogen bulb & Philips Xtreme vision?

                  Since we were talking abt the paddock stand earlier I thought of sharing this.This is how I manage to lift the rear for small works like spraying/cleaning the chain, suspension adjust.

                    Braking Query: (i did not go through the entire thread in detail, as it's vast!)

                    I own a 2011 Std model. For all this time i've been experimenting on various methods to improve braking. Changed Disc pads, changed oil to DOT4, but still feel the brakes are inadequate, which results in me riding conservatively. Can senior riders and members give your 2 paisa on how to improve braking? My current tyres are Michelin Street Radial at the front and Pilot Sporty at the rear (both changed at the same time, run for around 18K kms).

                    I've locked the rear multiple times, never crashed or fallen though (touch wood). But the rear locks are kind of unsettling during the long runs with about 40 kilos of luggage strapped to the tail.

                    If there are some after market components that would enhance braking, can you kindly provide the costs of the same, and where i could source it from. TIA!

                      If your rear locks up, doesn't it mean you are applying too much brake? Pardon me, I'm new to biking, but I've learned to control the lockup by releasing and then reapplying brakes very fast.

                        Not exactly too much brakes, there's still more bite left untapped. I checkedthe rotors for damages too, there are none.

                          Somehow i managed to get the tail light out, but the red transparent cover is not easily removable from casing. There are 5 snaplocks but it seems that it is also glued to casing just like headlight. A little force started breaking the small pieces. So had to left my DIY.

I thought it would be simple job of opening the tail, but first observation gave a feeling of little difficulty. Will be exploring the assembly in detail tomorrow, but if someone have info, then please share.
                            why would you wanna do it ??? buy a direct replacement ba15d/1157 LED bulb. its a 2 min replacement job and you are set.

                            stock bulb is 5w and 21 watts and if that is mildly irritating you should see my tail lamp now with 45 cree led ... it cna wake up even the sleepiest of drivers on the highway

                            pilot sporty at rear ?? you should move to street radial at the rear as well and it will give you that magic feel...

                            i remember me doing and many other buddies doing LED diy long back. why would wanna do it when direct replacement bulb with extreme high brightness are readily available for as low as 200-300 bucks with dual mode brightness. pull old one out and put new one in. takes 2 mins man....

                              I've put H4 16v Turbo Led 40W in my 250 and its works soo much better than the stock halogen.
                              The light spread is simply amazing.[emoji7]
                              Previously i had Osram Night Breaker Unlimited and they're really good compare to stock ones but after using the LED, i simply cannot go back to halogens [emoji6]

                                Does this generate enough heat to blacken out the reflector?
