Also ensure that the tyres are not more than 7/8 months old.

how the details of manufacture will be mentioned on tyre? will it be like month/year? or some codes?

Month and year will be there on the tire, you just have to look a bit carefully, its pretty easy to miss.

Most tire manufacturer's follow a four digit code, first two digits for week number of the year and next two digits for the year; e.g. 2516 would mean 25th week of the year 2016.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Changed the front disk pad, but the after running 200 meters, the brake jammed totally. Thank god wasnt doing more than 20 kmph, or it might have been fatal. The Caliper might be damaged. Kept the bike the servicing. Stocks not available. Can any one inform of the cost of caliper? Mechanic trying to do some lathe work on it, do some jugaad. But its damn risky.
Also my my left side shock absorber tube it cracked. It costs around 1800/-

Re: Honda CBR 250R

So nothing is wrong with my coneset/race bearings, just the bumpy tyres causing the wobbling on corners. I recall someone saying that low pressure on the tyres are the main reason for bumps which turns out to be true in my case. The front was 3 psi less, and the bad roads caused the tyre to develop 6-7 bumps on the right side of the tyre.

Question to experts : if a tire can withstand 300kg at 38 psi, then it stands to reason the tire is strongest at 38 psi, isn't it? Any views on my current theory?

Did you try a calliper rebuild with new seals for the floating pistons. Common issue

My front tyre leaks like nobodies business, I filled 30psi on Sunday , today I checked it was at 10, after my accident in successive months last year in the front , my front tyre has weakened a lot, have a free slightly used on track 110/70 mrf tyre which I plan to fit on Saturday or so. Also is it better to change seat or just can change the cushioning inside, a new seat costs 800-900 bucks , cushioning should cost 300-400 bucks, please advice

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Guys is the waiting period really 60 days or is there any chance to get it early?

I booked my bike on 27th Jan ( repsol edition )
Around 13 days passed...

Waiting for new bike is so hard.. holding all those expectation inside to ride the bike.. :P

Booked it at Kun Honda ( Adyar/Chennai )

If anyone of you booked it and got the bike before that 60days please share your experience below.

I got the bike delivered before 60 days waiting period but that was more than 3 years before

.

On a serious note, you can check with the showroom guys about any possibility of early delivery. If they have the bike in stock, i see no reason for them to delay the delivery unless there is an issue with payment. So have a call with the sales person to whom you have checked for booking once in 2/3 days or have a casual visit to the showroom.

Good luck in getting you bike early

It just depends on how often the dealer gets their inventory of bikes updated, if its a slow moving dealer it can take the said amount of time, for some dealers who ahve a higher rating with teh manufacturer it could be quicker.
Some dealers buy of bikes from other dealers to not lose a customer, sometime this causes the customer to get older stock, most people do not know how to check these things, so it happens.

I did not mean to scare you, but its just how it is.

CBR250R Bigger sprocket mod query

Hello, i want to change my bikes front and rear sprocket for much better acceleration, i understand it will decrease top speed and other odds, and am ok with it, i have read few discussions about sprocket change and all, people suggesting daytona kits, ktm's 43T rear sprocket and few are too technical which gave all the specs about tooth numbers and pitch sizes. . Which i didnt understood much, i dont want to spend a lot, and i want to know easy possible way of changing to a bigger sprocket. DIY hacks also please suggest, thank u

They do give more priority to people who pay full cash upfront, but also depends on how many orders theya lready have on the bike.
Now for this case if they have only a few orders for the cbr, then all the units should be dispatched to him.
There Shouldn't be much delay in such cases.

But then again, each dealers behave differently to different people. So can't say for sure.
