Also can someone mention if there are any niggles or particular issue on 2016 cbr250r

Hey bro looks like you finally narrowed in on the CBR... BTW bro please remember to look for the VIN number too. Would hate for someone else to go through the mental agony.

Bro I already took duke 200.didn't take CBR coz I hardly do highways

Messed up with my oil filter casing. Actually I found out that the casing was not seated properly that one edge was little odd. Since I couldn't wait to fix this I removed the casing wasted 150ml of oil again and found this.

The oil filter gasket is a bit weird. Didn't supervise the fitting of oil filter gasket when my mechanic did it.

It looks like this. It's not according to the shape of the casing. There are two little edges sticking out. Is this normal? Some please notice and report.

Now I'm Wondering whether I bought the wrong part? I guess the nothing was changed since the cbr was launched. May be the spares guy gave me a 150r's gasket that too I don't know if it's any different.

Now, The super blender I did was while putting the casing back and tightening the bolts, one bolt was not Ohk. So I thought I would try and turn it one more thread if not will buy a new bolt and replace it. The time I twisted it the thread cut and the bolt head came out and the remaining is stuck inside now. And the oil is leaking now because of this half tightened broken bolt. Now it has to be drilled carefully and taken out. I had to bring it back to chennai to do this cuz I don't trust the SVC guys here or any one for that matter.

So for now my mechanic suggests that I seal the oil casing with mseal and it can be easily removed later on while I take her to him for fixing the casing. Does that sound good or makes any sense? I really don't have any options here.. 😭😭😭

What I could assumed from your post is you ended up with a broken bolt.* If yes, it can be removed by two methods.
1. If at least quarter inch of bolt is left outside of casing, a tapping tool can used to remove the remaining portion (Easy job).
2.* If not, a T handle will be welded onto top of the bolt and will be removed by turning it anticlockwise (can be easily done by welder - make sure you put a wet cloth wrapped around the surrounding of bolt).* Drill or tapping would be needed only in case of stripped threads.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes the bolt head is broken (almost 1/3rd of the length). The remaining thread is stuck inside. Tapping is not possible I guess. I will discuss these points while fixing it and choose what's best wrt the condition of the bolt. As of now she is stationery cuz of this. :/

Can you click and post a picture of it?

Maneesh, it's simple, if you can hold the broken thread with anything or say it has a protrusion that can be gripped, then you can try your luck undoing them the case. But if the bolt is cut clean say flat and if that flat is thread hole, then you'll have to drill it out. What I'd suggest is use a gasket sealant and then keep the bike, trust me, these things makes us go hyper and guess what we'll eventually screw it up even more. Take it easy and do post a picture of the broken thread inside the casing, but if you've installed the oil filter cover, and need to remove everything for a photo, then don't fret. Take it a drill guy and keep us posted.
