Have you got the conset checked, inorrect tyre pressure or badly worn out tyres. Any signs of bent rim ? Has the bike met with an accident ?

For dent removal, the traditional method is to cut.open the tank from bottom, fix the dent and then weld the tank back again.

Cheers,
Sanjay

Exactly where is the dent located bro? Did you think of using those dent removal tools which are available online/via teleshopping? New tank costs about 9k from indiaspares.in:banghead: really sorry to hear about that dent buddy

For dent removal on CBR tank, you don't need to cut or weld. At the bottom of the tank, there is lid like structure which is bolted - used for lines and gauge. It can be opened and dent remover tools can be inserted and operated from there only.

I asked someone from the CBR 250r international group on FB and got a reference that Kothari wheels @ tilak road swargate is a decent one. I went there and spoke to the mech whose name is Aasif in his 40s so he might have quite a experience and pus he has told me that i can stay in the service bay when the shims will be changed. I am going tomorrow for the same.

I need to replace shims in my bike as there is a mild noise and since I am permanently transferred to pune and going to settle here, I need a decent svc for any kind of job here.

Whats up with bike gurus in kothrud, are they good with big bikes or are only smart in small bikes, because shim change is not a easy thing, as we need to have proper readings n all.

I would like to meet fellow CBR owners from pune as well as i am a part of pune now!!

Cheers,
Sanjay

Good to know you've had a good experience with Kothari Wheels. I might check them out to get my issues rectified too then. The reason I was put off to them was because this was another SVC where the mechanic said he has no clue that just the fuel unit can be changed without replacing the entire fuel sensor assembly. He said he would check it out but I didn't want my CBR to be their guinea pig so I didn't go there again.

About Bike Gurus, I've heard from some people that they do large bikes too. I know that plenty of the 200ns Naked Wolves guys go there and all of them give glowing recommendations about their service. But then again the ns is I guess an easier bike to service.

Yes it would be great to have a meetup with CBR owners in Pune

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I am getting a metal to metal contact sound kind... From my brakes. Both front and back. Brads pads changed both.
Evem after 200kms still there are sound. Earlier also it was like that only. Last brake pad lasted for 8k kms but sound dint go.

Asked the SVC to service the assembly, but he said "Yeh khulta nahi hai kaise karu servicing?"

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Even I had seen people using it in instead of OEM Honda. Its a direct if

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Your brake pads lasted only 8k kms? How old is your CBR?

I have bought the pulsar 220 brake pads, and I'm waiting for the rear brake's pads to give up the ghost. 25,500 kms and I'm still waiting..

Illl post up the pictures of both my discs, front needs to be changed according to my SVC at the next service and both sets of brake pads

The paint scratch on the faring looks deep to be removed with just polishing/rubbing compound, you may need to have it painted or replaced. But the scratches on the tank is mild enough to be removed, but still you cannot expect it to be shining like new.

This is again based on my knowledge and from what I can see from the pics you have posted. Anyway it will not hurt you much to try and remove the scratches by polishing. Good Luck.

DO NOT touch the throttle body in any case or removing/adjusting the idle air control valve for that matter. The entire throttle body is precision engineered set, playing or fiddling the screws or the sensor, recalibrates the setting, and you might end up with a new issue. No!

I see, considering, detailing, waxing n polishing not sure how much of diff it would make n there are red marks on top of the tank as the tank cap fell on my bike a few times

, if not I'll go for stickering or repainting, wat do ya think?

thanks arvstreetracer n sanjay for saving me from 9.5k shaving. I was really thinking to change my tank. will definitely try to open the bottom opening n see if it can do the task. regarding the position of dent, it is exactly where our zip touches the tank or lower most portion of the tank pad. also please throw some light on rear tyre wobbling issue. bike has covered 73xx kms and tyres rims seals chain sprockets are in good health.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

[MENTION=20218]blackthorn[/MENTION], well, this random stalling is dangerous in the highway. I'd rather something happens to the bike than me. Human repair costs more than bike. Somebody in an international forum said it did no harm to his and a friends bike.

Usually, it isn't. But the sensor set on the left which activates the throttle body shouldn't be manually turned up and down as they are operated by small gears and sensors which can upset the calibration and they are set and. But you can try your luck, as the IACV is a separate unit as opposed to the sensor set, it's just a matter of red herring, not really recommended if one doesn't know what he's doing.

Good luck.
