    That explains the long replacement interval! And yeh folks must learn that they shouldn't tinker with gapping these plugs. Surprised Honda used Iridium plugs!
    The ngk iridium plugs usually cost around 600 bucks.. I wonder how much honda charges ?

    Take a look at the front sprocket too. That usually has more wear, and a lot of people forget to check the front sprocket (because its hidden).
    From your pic, the rear sprocket seems to be ok and could last you another 2-4k km.

      Saw a recently sold Repsol model at the dealership (had come for a visor replacement). It had Xtreme Vision plonked in. The owner said that it was an OE bulb.

      2x minimum. 1200 to 1500 I believe.
      Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

        CBR uses only one plug mate, not two. And a single plug costs (quote from memory) 675 odd bucks, at the dealer.

        Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
        The girl said, 'NO!'


        And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


        THE END

          The Honda CBR 250RR has to be amongst the most highly anticipated new motorcycle launch globally. It first debuted as ‘Light Weight Super Sports’ at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show and ever since then bikers have been waiting to see the production version of the 250cc motorcycle. Among the main reasons for the curosity surrounding the bike is its sporty styling, the current generation CBR 250R isn’t the most pretty looking bike on sale and is more of a sports-tourer than an outright quarter-litre supersports machine Click image for larger version Name: cbr-250-cc-r-std-caracteristica2-elegante-carenaje-integral-honda.jpg Views: 1 Size: 61.7 KB ID: 1943803

          The Honda CBR250R is better than expected. Excellent comfort and strong performance make it a hit. The new colour schemes have added more appeal to the bike.

            Haha. I think Divya bhaiya meant Honda charges 2x for the plugs, not that the CBR uses 2 plugs. I'll change the plugs at 35k kms then.

            Btw, Shell Advance ultra 10w 40 is ₹510 on Amazon right now. I'm still sticking to Honda 10w30 because my Bonda fries well on it. 3k kms and engine still smooth as a baby's bum.

              I know it uses a single plug. I wrote 2x in terms of prices. They charge Rs 1050 for a single Phlips Xtreme Vision bulb, which goes for 550-650 odd a piece and I based my assumption on the same pattern.

              EDIT - well, I saw leech's post now. Pretty much the same thing as I wanted to say.

                A lot of so called "oem" bulbs here seem to be fake... or the QC in India is way lower than intl standards. I picked up an xtremevision from Honda, then compared one bought from powerbulbs.com (ships from UK, made in poland stuff), which was installed on a friend's CBR. The light output made so much of difference. His HL was visibly brighter! If it was something like throw or spread of the beam, i could've attributed it to the head lamp's settings, but beam strength just didnt add up. Been buying stuff from those guys ever since...

                  the original phillips xtremevision you get here (in shops outside like car accessories shops) is also made in poland. am not sure though about the source of the honda oem bulb or its variety (regular/xtremevision etc..)
                  and yeh i wouldn't be surprised if chinese knock off's of the Phillips exist in the shops outside, but at the svc you mostly get the original stuff.. maybe the specs of the original stuff differs from the ones available outside.

                    I'm curious , is it just the bulb or the full light kit?because earlier some one suggested me HID xenon kit, but won't that drain more battery? What do you think is a ideal replacement for OEM bulbs? I feel my lowbeam is non existent at times... Could use a change and high too on highways,

                      HID drain more fuel? I dont know whats that logic is.
                      It is just bulb we talking about, not the headlight assembly.I use philips extreme vision(3700kelvin) bought from powerbulbs.com. It has made a lot difference in lighting highways.It says made in poland. OEM bulb just mentioned "made in japan",but dont know its Philips exteme vision or not. but difference between my current extreme vision bulb and OEM one is huge.

                        ^ +1. Makes a big difference in hilly regions at night times. The spread is more and the illumination at the lateral ends of the beam is also more distributed and even, that helps find the edge of a pitch dark winding turn.

                          Sorry I meant battery(typo), about kit or did you just change the bulb?

                            changing bulb is just easy plug n play task and I felt much effective on road. I dont like playing with electricals or more mods on stock bike. and I found new bulb is adequate for my needs. If u wanna fix HID, ballast will be used and i dont think it will give much load to battery. I am not that good in bikes electricals. Experts here can give you more details about HID fixing.

                              Hello guys,
                              I own a CBR250R from last one year and I am following this thread since then. I have covered 11.5K kms on the odo and i am facing a weird noise from the engine(rattle) since this morning. The noise starts when I rev her above 4.5 to 5K and continues. I suspect that it is from the engine head, might be shims or cam chain tensioner. I visited the SVC, Shanti Honda, Pune and i got a pathetic reply from their side that it is normal on such kind of bikes. Could you guys please suggest any solution to this problem.

                              Thank You.

                                Honda retails the xtremevision too, at the svc. Just got the Philips Racing Vision HL for the Ceeber. New entrant from Philips, promising 150% more light (in competition with osram's laser i guess ). Will be plonking it this weekend. Bought from powerbulbs of course! _/\_
