I had 5 punctures continuously on my rear conti, but front now at 20600km I'm on a rear 140/60 mrf n front conti stock. I got the smaller tyre for free soo I thought I'll finish the life of the front conti n change both tyres to CBR stock size mrf. I got these tyres meant for the gixxer track bike my uncle mods.

So Bro How Did You Manage To Get Your Weels Balanced.

Well Guys Recently I Got 2 Puncture On My Conti Tyres Back As Well As Front. Well Initially As A Short-term Remedy I Used The Glue Thread Type Puncture Kit But My Bike Started To Wobbel At 80km + So I Visited A Local Tyre Puncture Shop. Removed Both The Tyer Front And Back One At A Time And Fixed The Puncture With Patches From Inside The Tyre. Now The Wobble Was Gone Tyre Was Full Of Air And Was Looking Great 👌. Now While I Was Fixing Those Tyre Back On My Bike. I Took My Time To Give It A Through Inspection. I Realized While There Is This Led Weight On The Tyre And Now That My Tyre Has Been Removed Completely And Fitted Again It Must Have Shifted For The Place It Was Before So Now I Nees To Do A Balance Check. I Went To ASC Asked The Guy To Check It He Stated "It Is Only Checked When You Fit In New Tyres" Furious I Left. Cursing Myself First Why Did I Visit Those Poultry Farm Boys. Then I Pushed My Self To Nice PatchOf High Way And Had To Do The Balance Check Riding In All Different Speed Modes And Then Shifting The Led Weight To Some Direction Where Every I Could Find A Spot Where There Was Little Or No Vibs. Seriously That Was A Thought Out Of Frustration. So I Took My Paddock Stand And Tried To Fix It But Still Not Sure Have I Got The Spot Right Or Not.

Well After 3 Days I Found My Tyre Was Loosing Pressure So I Returned To The Same Tyre Shop And He Check Both The Tyres By Immersing It In The Water Tub But Nope There Was Nothing. Again In 3 Days Time Same Pressure Returned To 24psi. Well I Guessed Its Micro Puncture So No Way Any Puncture Shopwala Is Going To Help Here. I Started Searching For Slime Liquid Tyre Sealent. But Ended In Vain No One Had It In My City Madurai. I Visited My Old Friend Who Happens To Be A Manager At Yamaha Requested Him To Order It For Me He Did That In 2 Days Time I Had It I Felt Like A Bliss. Medicine For Micro Puncture.

Now For Past 20 Days I Have Been Checking My Tyre Pressure Its The Same 32psi No Changes At All. But My Question On The Weel Balance Is Left Behind And Now As I Have A Liquid Inside My Tyre I Cannot Opt For A Balance As It Will Never Be Right.

So Guys I Want To Know Is There A Place In Madurai Or Mumbai As This Month End I Plan To Go To Mumbai Any Address Who Does A Manual Or Computerized Check On Balance Will Be Great Coz After I Reach Mumbai I Plan To Change My Conti To Metz.

Guru Kumar.

Any One With The Knowledge Could Help Me Address The Problem.

There Was No Way I Was Getting Those Micro Puncture Detected. I Tried Even Sundar Tyre The Said The Person Who Use To Do Balancing Job For Bike Has Shifted To Coimbatore And Said You Cannot Fix Two Weeler Tyre On The Four Weeler Machine For Balancing.

Previously I Owned R15 V2 Made 3 Time Mumbai Madurai Trip Slime Was Really A Boon My Tyre Had Run All The Way To 27000 Km Without Any Deformation. So Out Of Experience I Used Slim In My CBR250R Tyre.

By The Way Are You From Madurai If Yes Nice To Know You Then.

Oh.. I balanced my wheel once with them. Call and check with the pazhaganatham byepass branch once for confirmation. Anyway you ll be through bangalore for your trip right? You can probably get it checked there.

Btb I'm from Theni. I visit madurai weekly for business.

This is the first time I see a trouble on my cbr in the last 1 year of ownership and that too a weird thing about missing fuel.

I filled petrol till the brim and just rode around 4kms and parked at basement. It was not used for 2 weeks as I was not in town. when I took the bike after two weeks,I noticed that fuel gauge shows only 4 bars(its was full tank when I parked). I thought something went wrong with fuel gauge. I opened the lid and found petrol level is bit lower but not too low.i remember I closed the lid properly after filling.No fuel leak anywhere. I continued riding for 3 days and completed 126kms odo and the fuel guage reached from third to second bar. Then I was suspicious and filled petrol full tank today and found 7.25 litres went inside(7.25 litres for 126 kms).
So I understood nothing wrong with fuel gauge. i checked the fuel lid and I couldn't find anything faulty but there is a slight smell petrol near the lid when its closed. In short, aprox 2.5 litres of petrol missing when the bike was parked at basement . I will keep an eye on this and confirm if it repeats. Guys do you have any clue on this whether it might happened due to some small misalignment of fuel lid?

Hi guys,

My motorcycle was parked and fell to its right side. Bike engine was not running at that time. I didn't do anything at that time, just visually inspected it and everything looked fine. I tried to start it after 2.30 hours, fuel pump made that usual sound of injecting the fuel and when I tried to start, it just won't. Starter motor is also working. Thinking that engine might have been flooded, I opened the throttle a little and the starter motor started spinning faster but the bike won't start.
After trying for sometime (not pressing the start button for more than 4 seconds of course), the battery got weak. I have now charged the battery completely but still the same thing. Have also checked the relay and fuses but they all seem fine. Any clues what it might be?
I think it's something very small that I am missing as I rode the motorcycle yesterday just fine. The issue started today after it fell.

Thanks!

might be the bank angle sensor acting up. else this time keep the starter going on for 8-10 seconds and keep moving the throttle front and back. like (revvin it ). pull and leave a few times. it works. have seen similar issue on another cbr and revving it a few times did fix it.

if the bike starts dont leave it as it is. ride a few km so the ECU gets back to normal values as standard.

Why did you put slime in a tubeless tyre without finding the puncture?

Wheel balancing can be done in any car wheel alignment centre. There are many places in madurai. Sundar tyres is one of the best place.

Oh.. I balanced my wheel once with them. Call and check with the pazhaganatham byepass branch once for confirmation. Anyway you ll be through bangalore for your trip right? You can probably get it checked there.

Hi Raminder,

It seems like a flooded engine.

Do this: (Copied from manual)
If the engine fails to start after repeatedattempts, it may be flooded.
1. Open the throttle fully.
2. Press the start button for 5 seconds.
3. Follow the normal starting procedure.
4. If the engine starts with unstable idle,open the throttle slightly.If the engine does not start, wait for 10seconds, then follow steps 1 3 again.

Hi Theironhorse,

I don't think fuel pump would start once bank angle sensor is on..
