I see, I'm on motul fully synthetic oil, bike seems fine, will check do I need to change or not, I have a habit of changing every 3000-3500 kilometers,might just switch back to Honda throttle oil n see how it fares Phillips xtreme vision, a lot of people have talked about it, can I get it in any electrical store? Someone can shed some light on fueling? That last 1 bar can hold 3-4 Litres? If not how do I tap into the reserve?cause on the last bar, I fill fuel, the tank is full at 9ltrs as I've mentioned earlier, I hope my tank does not have residue or something stuck, I have the habit of idling my engine for 2-3 mins before I head out every morning or if I haven't taken the bike out for more than 12 hours or more types. Please let me know anything else can be done to improve low and high beam.

AFAIK, bikes that are FI do not have a "reserve" concept. This is due to the fact that the FI has a fuel pump with a sensor that has to be immersed in the petrol all the time otherwise you risk frying it. Putting a bike in reserve means, you are cutting off fuel at a particular measure of the fuel tank. Works for carb. Won't work for FI. That being said, you need to gas up the moment your fuel gauge starts blinking. Otherwise, you risk frying your fuel pump, which - if you are not rich - will drill a hole in your pocket. As far as your whole fuel capacity related concern, these digital fuel gauges are never spot on. I wouldn't really rely on in it to know exactly what amount of fuel is in the tank. It just gives you a rough estimate and that's actually enough. I can't say more than this - I don't own a CBR250R and that was just my general opinion. There's a post around page 600 or 700 or maybe 1500 with a video, that explains FI systems. You should read around the initial pages of this ownership thread. Some really great info there.

Hello Guys,

I visited a different SVC yesterday (Kothari Wheels, Tilak Road Pune) and the service advisor told me that the noise was due to faulty shims and not the CCT. The shims need to be checked and replaced if necessary. He promised that I would get the bike back by today evening but today he told me that it would take two more days as the shims are not available. The Head Cover gasket will also be changed.

I asked him to give me a rough estimate of the total cost for this but he said that he needs to check the shims properly and then he will let me know about it.

Can anyone here give me a rough estimate,

Shims+gasket+labour charges=?

Update:

Got the bike today. The SVC guys adjusted the valve clearances , they did not change the shims. The bike is running smooth again. The noise(rattle) has vanished. The head cover gasket was replaced. Total bill was just Rs 230 out of which the gasket costed Rs.96. Good work by Kothari Wheels!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hi Guys...
I will be getting my first bike, CBR 250 ABS 2016 version (White) within a few days...

I have read many pages of this thread plus lots of reading on the motorcycle realted webpages and basics including how to do run-in/break-in period correctly.

This is one doubt I got and would be great if you guys could give your expert opinion on it

:

meets or exceeds the API SG and JASO MA2 standards. If you're not sure what oil is in your new bike, change it immediately to this oil, and change the filter as well. While 10w - 40 is best for most, if your particular climate or engine requires something different, then by all means use it.

I read CBR 250 comes with fully synthetic oil. So is it fine to go with it during run-in peiod?

Thanks

Congratz and welcome to the club.

Please don't confuse yourself by reading too much into things. Manufacturer knows best what will work for their machines, please stick to it and don't change engine oils to semi for this bike. Myself and countless others only used full synthetic for CBR. Good luck and enjoy the ride.

I got what u saying, sensors are never spot on.. The thing is , I always fill at 1 bar my cost always comes to 600rs 9 litres, never had the last bar blinking on the move soo ya, as you mentioned I'm just curious, if 9 litrs is full tank , I still have a good 3 and a half to 4 litres that I can run but as you mentioned when riding continuously and the last bar blinks, probably be on the last litre or half a litre...

Well, you get the funda. I saw you were concerned about gunk build up in your fuel tank. Believe me, if you had enough gunk to displace 4 litres of petrol in your tank, you'd know. Your FI would get fried instantly. So you're safe.

Oh, also, you should continue your current fuelling habit of filling when it hits the last bar unless you want to know your tank range down to the last litre. Prevention is better than precaution(creative liberty utilised

).

I saw you already booked/purchased CBR. Good choice as this is definitely a tested and more reliable machine. Do post some pics mate.

Waiting for new purchase and pictures from a long. Kindly do the needful

BTW, what's the waiting period of CBR 250R in Bangalore? I think, I can wait for the 390/G310R max till March. If neither shows up, CBR is the only option.

Booked the CBR 250R STD Black. Hoping to get it soon and I'll post the pictures as soon as possible.

Check for any scratches on the fairings, windshield, exhaust heat shield. Check if the tool kit and first aid kit are under the pillion seat. Inspect the tyres carefully. For 2016 model the tyres should be MRF ZAPPER FY and ZAPPER S. I got 3 litres fuel from the showroom so make sure you ask them. Check all fluid levels (oil level, coolant level, brake fluid level). Start it up and check all lights, horns and then you are good to go.

How did they adjust the valve clearance without replacing the shims? Can you please shed some light on this part?

Thank you!
