    Shall I change it or is this ok to operate ?

    P.S. My bike is 2011 model I don't recollect changing the radiator before.

    IMHO, change it only if you experience 4+ bars on the temp gauge.

      The cooling efficiency will be dropping in such cases.
      You can try straightening it out using safety pins or blades and all, or anyways its taken 6 years of abuse, might as well get a new one.

        Well it never crosses 3 bars under any condition that's why I'm skeptic.

        I don't want to touch it because I know I will bend it even more and it costs 4200 bucks that's why I was checking if anyone in the forum has changed it after such conditions..

          Do you water wash often? How did your fins bend so much? Stone/gravel hits?

            My bikes radiator is worse than yours, I did check with mech in SVC. If there is a problem with cooling change it is what he said. Temperature doesn't cross three bars for me.
            The only difference I feel now is that the fan spins for a longer time compared to before once I stop after a long drive.

            I will be visiting the SVC in the next week sometime and see what could be done about it.

              It's 5+ (August 2011) year old bike and mostly its because of the mud and stones.

                I second that. Even I found around 7000rpm to be the sweet spot on the highways.

                Mine looks as messed up. Hope it doesn't cause issues.

                  kannanmr16 precisely pointed what I had to explain. Though the temperature bars won't increase per se, you can see the fan working over time or kicking in frequently as opposed to the normal cycle. Though the radiator indeed is gummed up pretty bad. First I would suggest you to use a tooth brush with soft bristles, dampen the radiator with water and let it rinse for a while, say 2 to 10 mins, splash water generously on the radiator and then start scrubbing slowly. This is a tedious and a time consuming process to get good results. This should reduce the grime baked in and allow the radiator to transfer heat better, which in turn reduces the event of fan kicking in frequently.

                  Though I would recommend a radiator change, considering the age.

                  Cheers!

                  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.

                    Am waiting for past 5 months for a bike.. Also am not interested in picking up dual tone cbr, more interested in Repsol edition only..

                    Took a test ride of the new 200 NS, compared to what i had previously, new NS 200 has been tamed down a lot.. the engine grunt is not there and also the exhaust note is dull not pleasing.. Previous NS had a unique exhaust note...


                    Anyway its going to be the same CBR 250r, there wont be any changes to the performance department.. only the exhaust and AHO feature will be there.
                    Which is not a big deal for me..

                    No face lift will be there.. So no point in waiting for it.

                      What mileage will you get when riding at constant 7k RPM?
                      and what is the economy RPM range?

                        There is no economy range here, but as always sedate riding gives better fuel economy.

                        If you are looking for mileage, you could keep it at 80@5k rpm in 6th gear. People have got more 40kmpl with that. Anything more, it will drop down. You could except around 30-34 around 100 speeds.

                          Is CBR250 a very tall geared bike? Especially the 6th gear?

                            Sedate riding ie between 90 to 110 kmph, on highways yields 40+ kmpl for a good condition CBR.

                              Yes, it is quite tall geared, meant for cruising @ triple digit speeds.

                                Sorry had to edit my other post, it's 80@5k RPM 6th gear.6th gear alone takes me from 60 to 140kmph.
