Re: Honda CBR 250R

There is no such thing called 2016 cbr250r, the stocks are old you can expect the bike made in 2015.

As for the pdi look for the below things :

1. coolant level
2. Engine oil level
3. too much kms on the ODO
4. check for tyre treads
5. handle bar movment
6. switches should be working fine

Re: Honda CBR 250R

One of my friend a Honda fan looking for CBR 250/300. Is there any one purchased CBR 250 in 2016 can they list the newly added features?? other than colors do they offer LED tail lamp and LED indicator which I think will be of great use on highways. With news of 300 round corner mid year launch donno if 300 comes with LEDs and slipper clutch??

thanks,
Suresh

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Query already answered above.

No news on 300r launch/specs yet. I'm pretty sure there will be no slipper clutch.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Guys i recently changed the engine oil with oil filter. But I couldnt get the oil filter gasket so replaced the same old gasket with new oil filter. That resulted in oil leak from the oil filter cover. So in my recent visit to chennai I was able to procure the oil filter gasket and replace it. Still it's leaking but now very minimum. After 700 kms now the oil level has gone down a bit from max level. After a ride 2 to 3 drops of oil spills in the groud when parked.

Has any body faced this issue? What could be the culprit here? The oil filter casing bolts?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

1st point is exactly the same with my case too. In my 67k run I had replaced the shims only once. I never let the bike knock. I do redline the engine quite frequently(atleast once in a month) when I hit a particular segment in that particular road. When u redline u know ur top speed as well. I too ride well within 8k in highways. In Highway I easily get 36 kmpl when I ride till 7k rpm, in city I usually don't bother.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

The three bolts which covers the oil filter, should be the culprit. Were those bolts over-tightened ? If yes then the gasket might have given up. In my initial first service I did not change the oil filter gasket and never had any leaks.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

So riding style is pretty much the same with only small differences.

The stitching noise is not real bad. But It get my attention all the time while riding.

Can I have few cbr owners opinion on the stitching noise. Is your CBR also producing very mild stiching noise when heated up a fair bit ?

Cheers,
Sanjay

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Actually the oil filter casing has 4 bolts. Even if it's over tightened, Now the gasket is replaced with new one. This is the only issue in the bike now and it's pissing me off.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I get strange noises when the engine oil wears out around after 4-5k kms. That too only when I ride under harsh sunny climatic conditions. If I ride during night it would be smooth as usual.

Get the shims checked. But I'm still not sure if you have tightened the chain tensioner precisely.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

My engine drinks oil too; but I've not noticed any leaks. Since past 3000 kms, I've had to top it up twice; total topping up volume would be around 100-150 ml. I hope its not a symptom of anything. My exhaust smoke is colorless, invisible.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Sorry for the noob question but what is with this shims issue?is there any defect with this shims.what exactly are shims

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Shim looks more like a watch battery, but with varying sizes, they are present between the valve stem and the rocker arm, you can say them as lash adjusters, the same way you adjust tappets.

Say someone is banging you on your head constantly what if they bang repeatedly, your skull goes to pieces. But what if we keep a gel or a pillow in between the batting, would you feel any pain or the impact itself, no right. So that's the principle, hope you got it now.

Maneesh, check your oil cover thread cap, that's one. Secondly just makes sure if the seal is seated correctly between the oil cover and the casing, sometimes, they seem they fit well, but you have very slight misalignment of the gasket, that can induce leak. If all the three thread bolts are torquing correctly without slipping, i.e, (they keep on rotating, but they don't torque or they slip after just when you feel they are tightened) then your casing threads are at fault. Check the gasket Maneesh, and keep us posted.

@sanjaysangar1990, very slight stitching sound when the engine is revved post 6k with the engine heated up is okay, but it shouldn't be too audible where you hear the stitching sound overwhelming the engine sound itself. Post a clip if you can.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Any link to this OEM accessory? My local service center had no idea - just like me asking him for knuckle guards!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

OK I got it excellent writing. But is it a common problem on CBR.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Saar!!! the shim is not actually not a problem. To put up in simple words it is valve clearance. I am sure every bike needs a periodic check on valve clearance.

The only thing about shim setup is that it has longer intervals than the traditional nut type adjustment. You might have done periodic valve clearance check on your AS200 as well.

Don't get confused by the earlier few posts discussing heavily on shims and stitching noise, they are just being discussed just to compare and not actually a serious problem.

The stitching sound is not spoiling my riding mood. I use the bike for everyday riding from home to office which is 16km one way with no traffic. when the journey towards office starts there isn't any noise and when I reach office and get off my bike and then revv the bike till 5K there is a very mild stitching noise. I will post a video by today night.
