I'd love to know more on this, any insights you can share of, with respect to ABS models retrofitted with steel braided ones.

Cheers!

cost and manufacturer. P220 lines are also steel braided with rubber covering. those are also a direct fit for CBR250r.

part 1 : i have done trips over trips over trips in past 4 years including ladakh. the stock windsheild works just fine. unless your helmet is loose i have not seen any kind of issue. times when i and many have toured in triple digits for hours without any issues.

part 2 : stock cbr speedo itself is 7% over optimistic. now yu have downsized the tyre and yes thats what is adding to the speedo error. and low FE and low top end.
move back to 140/70 - michelin, MRF, pirelli , Dunlop, Ceat .. all have good tyres in stock size..

part 3 : unless the saddle bag is loose or unbalanced it will not hit the exhaust. if you tried the enfield big saddle bags on cbr they are bound to burn.
run a bungee from behind the bags to either side and it will protect those.

that pipe look hideous man.. why would you do such a thing.
and that tyre for sure will kill your handling

1. get the forks alignment and condition checked. also check for warped disc rotor. i am sure its the disc rotor. check the pads for uneven wear.
2. no bike will stop insttantly with any break however if you meant by you feeling the bite coming into picture after 5-0 meters then get the pad cleaned and rubbed.
if you havent changed the brake fluids then flush old one and put new one and repeat every year.
3. this is not even an issue unless you explain further . but if there is sound get the clutch cable slack checked.

Just curious if anyone tried installing the steel lines for the ABS, happy with what the brakes have offer. If my memory serves me right, it's either here or international, I remember a guy opting for a custom made steel braided line for the front non-ABS, real chic job.

Keep us aflame if you come across anything.

Part 1: if you are not satisfied with your older setup, i am afraid you might not be satisfied with any other wind screen.

By the way at what speeds you are facing this wind blast??

Part 2: yes, it is due to the change in tyre size.

Part 3: not sure, but unless it's not restricting the air flow it should not be a problem.

Guys, dumb question coming up - I went to a local guy for adjusting the chain, however he put it too tight, there is only few mm's of freeplay. Is this harmful?

Part 1 I ride in 3 figures all through the highways in plain, may be it is bound to happen...I take your advice and will change my helmet...please suggest me some in 4K range

Part 2 Yes FE has reduced by 3-4kmpl, I haven't yet tried top end on this tyre but handling has improved drasticaly, I find cornering far more smooth and confidence inspiring with this tyre than the stock one also this tyre holds very well in mud and gravel

Part 3 As I had mentioned in my thread I got these mods according to my riding style/need...I ride with a pillion, and when this burning thing happened yes I was riding with big saddle bags...without a pillion all goes well but when you ride with a pillion saddle bag has to be shifted a bit back so that pillion gets feet on footrest...I tried bungee but still it was happening, exhaust fumes were hitting the edge of the bag and also without a saree guard that bag was touching the tyre(only when pillion sits)so I made a saree guard kind of thing with bungees...
It was wrong on my part to go with that big bag...Please suggest a saddle bag...I have heard cramster cold is good


Btw thanks for your response...That was informative

Hello everyone, i am new to xbhp and this is my first thread.

I have switched to CBR250R recently and have done a few rides including ride to spiti.

I find stock seat is too hard and it becomes very inconvenient on long rides...from where can i get a softer seat in delhi ?
also i have heard of gel seat...please guide me through this.

Also on longer rides i get pain in my wrists. suggest something, will raised handlebar be a solution to this ?

Thanks for your response
I feel it at 100+ and it gets severe at 120+

at 120 - 70mph even with the biggest windsheild available for CBR you will still have windblast.
double bubble have a slight hump in center and it becomes more aerodynamic when you completely tuck down. it wont affect anything if you are sitting upright.

a custom windsheild which is standing upright and not going along the curve will eat your roll on acceleration and top end. i can guarantee you that.

Thanks, hunt for a windshield is ended...I shall stay with the original one

how tall are you ?

Too soft seat also would hurt you I personally believe the cbr has ideal seat padding. You ll get used to it. Don't worry. I messed up with the rear seat padding and I wish I didn't do that. It's too soft now.

Try not putting your weight on the handle bars instead hold the tank with your thighs. That too only if you are heavy and riding down hill. Else it shouldn't be a problem. It's just that you had to get used to it.

I am 5'9"......

dude i am 5.11+ and never got tired due to windblast. a nice textile jacket and a snug fit helmet is all you need.
unfortunately last helmet i bought was 3 yeas ago hence for helmet riding gear thread would be apt place.

i have done 600-700 km ride one way in 10-12 hours of ride all kind of highways. unless its a windy day i never had any concerns with wind blast.


Thanks, I ll take care of it.
Maybe because I am new to CBR and before getting used to it I have done many long rides in mountain, I am facing this.
While riding downhill, I was getting pushed by the weight of pillion which made it severe.
