    Here is a teaser for my new light position

    Any guesses for the position (Please excuse the dirt)

        so its a actual powerful fog(Yellow) light, Try for a longer shot to give a better perspective.

        The yellow is due to the glass color or any idea about the actual color this LED light gives?

          Just made it out to have some shots.



          Only Cree



          Only cree

          Cree+ low beam.


          High beam is getting obstructed by these lamps. LEDs are white, only lens is yellow. I am using only one light source at a time; either headlamp or LEDs. Most of time, I don't need Headlamp to be lit up when LEDs are on. I will try to find a smaller version of these LED in same power .

            Meanwhile could someone please direct me to some links for tank-pads for the CBR?
            You can check from Honda themselves, though they don't stock it, off the shelf, you can get one on an order basis, which is of course again comparatively costlier. You can check HMSI website for more in the ACCESSORIES tag. Secondly, eBay is the best when it comes to tank pad, they have good designs to choose from and affordable.

            Yes, auxiliary lamps will definitely help us to see the road in front of us, when we are blinded by high-beams from the oncoming traffic, this is especially true when we driving/riding in rural roads where there are no clear signs are the what's ahead. Whiter lights comparatively help us see roads better than a yellow colored one. Though yellow is good for fog and reach, it does strain the eye over a prolonged driving time. White light and LED reduce eye fatigue which in turn helps us see better what's in front of us.

            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.

              Re: Honda CBR 250R

              A small question based on curiosity:

              Its recommended that we have to let the engine warm up a bit before starting to ride by keeping it on idle. Its quite cold here in my hometown so at night the engine oil temperature reading is 0 bars. So I keep it at idle for a minute or two. The temperature reading then increases from 0 bars to 3 bars quite quickly and then remains stable.

              So what I am curious is that does the coolant not flow in the engine till the temperature comes to 3 bars? How does the temperature rise to 3 bars relatively fast and then remain stable?

                Keeping it idle for a minute or two is good, especially in cold weather.
                As to your question on the coolant 'flow' , this is usually controlled by a thermostat that 'opens' at a particular temp and allows the coolant to flow thru the water jacket-radiator (otherwise, whatever the water left in the jacket i.e. the part of the engine where it flows, stays there during warm up and till a particular temp is reached)
                Usually on a cold start the coolant doesn't 'flow' until a certain temp is reached (because an engine needs to warm up to perform at an optimal efficiency), and by idling for a minute or two you essentially get the engine warm and oil flowing lubricating the various parts.

                You can an idea of how the coolant system works from here https://www.dropbox.com/s/d4ld3kqno9...SSM_902_EN.pdf
                Thought it's from the ktm, the principle should be the same.

                    To keep it simple. Yes, once the engine warms up, the constant friction in the engine, raises the engine temperature, and the coolant inside the engine, starts circulating maintaining the engine temperature at a constant. The coolant, yes, they won't circulate inside the engine until a certain temperature threshold is reached. When a certain threshold is reached, the hot coolant goes back to radiator and the cool coolant from the radiator comes inside the engine, and the process repeats itself.

                      Guys I had booked cbr250 last week and was supposed to get delivery in January, but after the launch of bajaj dominar at mouth watering price I'm thinking to cancel my booking and go for dominar, how wise is that? Do you see a fall in price of cbr250 after the launch of dominar??

                        No, I see a further fall in units sold per month while they are busy launching scooters. That's Honda India for us.

                        And Dominar vs CBR is a difficult question to answer, especially until the Dominar gets some proper reviews. But, for 50k lesser than the CBR, it is definitely worth considering.

                          Lol No, Honda is not going to reduce the price. Second, the low price of Dominar has me worried that they've used mediocre quality parts. Like most manufacturers, they would increase the price and quality of parts if customers start complaining of problems in the first batches.

                          Never buy a first batch vehicle, buddy. Be it Yamaha, Honda or Bajaj. If you need a bike urgently, stick to the CBR 250. If the Dominar strikes a chord with you, and you must have it, then wait up a few months. It's going to take some time for Bajaj to deploy enough trained mechs to the SVC, ensure enough supply of parts.

                            From whatever reviews I've seen so for after the launch everyone seems to be praising the build quality, which at that cost is surprisingly good. Initial test ride reviews says engine is more refined than rs 200 if not on par with honda. Again I'm noob and cbr250 is supposed to be my first performance bike so I'm just going by the reviews and knowledge that I've got on this thread. I'm riding HH ambition for the last 14 years and either ways both (honda or bajaj) are going to be a huge upgrade for me. I've a little bit more liking for faired bikes than naked ones but, honda is going over the budget since I'll be going with abs and bajaj has now given a great option at such a low price.

                              "if not on par with honda" I really doubt this part there's no way they can match the quality of a Honda or KTM for that matter that would be like killing their own product (mighty 390). What I also suspect is if what you said is true then it's going to be costly to maintain for example when Sony launched PS3 it costed 800$ to manufacture but they sold it at 400$ and they made rest of the profits on game licensing same thing Ford did when they launched mustang in 1960's all of these are speculations and only time will tell its worth it or not.
                              One simple hard argument from my side pick a 5 year old CBR and pick a 3 year old Pulsar which one feels better after all those years and it will take atleast a year to undertsand how dominor will stand test of time.

                                Just got a call from Honda and the sales guy told me that the color which I had booked (sunbeam amazing white) has been discontinued by Honda due to less demand. I mean WTH!! He was not even aware of it at the time of booking. Now he's trying to convince me to go with black and gold one which i really dont like. New graphics are awful, only the white one attracted me. Seems like my CBR dream is over
                                Can anyone confirm the same thing about white one being discontinued?
