Thank you, mrf? I'm using mrf on the front not sure, but my tyre punctured after the accident. Also ive heard the KTM brake calipres or master cylinder (not sure which) are direct fit to the CBR and are cheaper and give a more powerful braking feel. Hmmm please tell me what do you suggest as a front and rear tyre?

Thank for Pic buddy.

I am search for Steel braided line for my bike but so far i haven't found anyone selling one for ABS version. I will have to replace the brake lines and radiator pipes anyways since it almost 5years old. So i'd rather get steel ones. Do let me know if you have any idea where i can get them. Online/in Hyderabad or even in Chennai(my brother can pick it up there)

Currently, plan is to replace the brake oil and see if it brings back the bite. If not then upgrade the pads and even still if it isn't enough then steel braided for sure!

Brembo pads are being sold for 7.5k a set! We can import Galfers from UK for about 4-5k a set

BTW, am using Michelin PSR, everything is fine even under hard braking in wet conditions. It's pouring here in hyd.

Hello guys, I kinda have been silent on this forum, my CBR met with an another accident just like a week after I got it back from the SVC, , well this happened at a signal, as the signal was ending I was a bit speeding like at 40-50 all vehicles were waiting for me to pass, one gentleman on a bike couldn't wait soo came right in front of me and bham, hit him and bike fell on the left side. The handle bars got bent ,forks too I'm sure, tyre punctured, my left fairing got scraped and was a bit broken on the side. The plastic bit of fairing also had cracked. I was afraid my wheel alloy was cracked but thankfully not. Nothing happened to me, as it was a low speed crash, irony, both accidents I suffered were like similar , like a bike cutting me off middle of the road, only this time there was more damage to the vehicle. Even the cops there were cursing that guy ,clearly it was his mistake, but I should have been a bit more wary, I spose I need to go to the track to improve my braking and overall riding . My costs are coming upto 7-8k was gonna apply for insurance if the wheel alloy was cracked , but luckily not. Also I am not using the original brake pads, I wanted to change, when told the SVC, he said there wasn't a need for that, it has a fair bit of life, im somehow putting it on the tyres, I plan to change to Michelin in a few months, for better grip and braking ability. I have one doubt, will my chassis be bent or damaged? This crash was a low speed one but the bike feel on the same side twice...

[MENTION=36801]ironhorse[/MENTION]s if I am not wrong, resides here in Hyderabad and if my memory serves me correctly, he's upgraded this brakes to to steel braided ones, got it custom made, I reckon. You can get in touch with him, he might be able to help you since you both are in Hyderabad. Yes, replace the fluids, bleed them, use DOT 4 or 5.1 and make sure you get change your fork oil along with this brake fluid change.

The CBR as takes 1.10L of coolant, and don't go for those green coolant, try for the Honda's proprietary coolant or you can opt for Motul Motocool Expert, yellow ones.

Cheers!

Selling a CBR and buying a scooter for safety reasons? Doesn't make any sense really. AFAIK, scooters are more prone to skidding (or it could be that I'm not comfortable riding scoots).

hello everyone i had recently purchased a used cbr250r abs at about 8,000 km on the odometer. The previous owner had a general service done on 6,000 km. Its showing around 10,000km on the odometer now and the rear brake feel is not adequate. I had taken it to the sahu motor service center on mehdipatnam and he quoted me around 7,000 rupees for the general service. He said the oil,oil filter,rear brake pad change and coolant top up will be done. According to the current owners is this the correct price he is asking or is it a lot?

My bro bought a pre-owned cbr 250r abs, with 4600 kms on the odo. We got the service done immediately, the cost came at 2600 rs. This included paid service, 2ltrs honda throttle FS oil, chain slider and labour on that. I was told the price of rear brake pad will be around 2k including labor. Air filter another 500-600.

7000 is too much!
Oil- ₹1400 for 2 bottles(1 litre each)
Oil filter- ₹284
Air filter- >₹500
Disc pads- not sure must be less than 1000 bucks.
Coolant topup will be done free of cost but depends on svc. They can charge upto ₹150 for this.
Including labour it should not be anywhere above 5k

The amount is as follows :

1400 rs for oil
304 rs for oil filter
1300-1500 rs for rear brake pads of ABS version, front costs 1800rs
Why would svc fill it free of cost, the user can himself purchase the coolant bottle which is of 250 rs and replace the coolant completely.
Around 350rs for Air filter.
Installing the brakepads only will cost the labour of 200-250rs
Consumables around 200rs.
To do rest of the service, the labour will be costing somewhere around 500-700 rs

So the charges stated by svc is more or less correct only.

Cheers,
