My god. What put you in this nasty mood? Btw, is the video up on your YouTube channel? I'm not getting audio in the one you linked here.

Ya its on my channel.
Mood, first people ask to go for trip, when I go, they ask for a log, when I pen it down, in 3 pages the excitement is over. I could have kept the photos, videos just for myself, why I would even bother posting here. Or the members want only big bikes with top notch DSLR heavily edited photos to get their attention.
Also the mods, may be busy or ignoring, no idea, can be seen hovering on all threads but when someone asks to close a thread are nowhere to be seen.

Ah. C'est la vie. Your content is very enjoyable, I had a great read till day 2. I was awaiting day three, just didn't notice the update on your thread. I can't comment on others, but I liked your pics too.

Do what you want Prateek Bhai. No point waiting for the world. Keep riding and making great content, because there's loads of people who enjoy it. 🙂[emoji106]🏻

But one thing is for sure, this sbk favouring forum already saw less posts from my end, it wont get any more logs from my side now.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Lolz, excitement over in three pages... This is the most hilarious post I've seen on the CBR 250 thread. "Sbk loving mods, sbk loving forum."

In these days where everyone and their grandma are going on road trips to valleys, lakes, Bhutan, Pakistan and Himalayas, the interest is bound to wane.

I get pictures of Leh Ladakh almost weekly on my FB feed. You need to chill out, Prateek sirji.

Not exactly! Just do what you do. Enjoy your trips. Continue writing travelogues. Don't expect everyone as reader, but yes people love photos and videos!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Is it really necessary to change the spark plug on recommended interval??
What are the advantages of changing spark plug?

Advantage of changing Spark plug on time include -

Not getting stuck on some remote area where even a dog is not there to wag it's tail at you.

Honda has 48k kms interval on the Spark plug, which costs ₹625. Given how the fuel filter and air filter don't last as long as HMSI says it does, it's prudent to change it early. I'll do it at 42k kms.

If you're hoping to delay it to save ₹₹, it's not worth it in the long run.

The KTM dudes have to change it at 15k kms interval. Some change it every 8k, so we're much better off.

Relax bro, don't make or take it so serious!
Ride because you want to.. not because someone wants you to.
Similarly share your trips/pics etc, only if you want to.. don't have expectations on the TRP's

there is enough distraction for folks today to keep their eyes n thumbs busy. But if you are looking to drive traffic/publicize (or only feel good when someone gives a 'like'), then I'll shut up now. (honestly, some of them chattering monkeys with a gopro makes me want to take a stick and __ )
What matters at the end of the day is if you enjoyed your ride. Doesn't matter if your pictures/posts got a million likes or not. And am sure you'd continue riding.

Yes, just to be on safer side. Manual says at 48k km - I hope it's life expectancy of SIMR8A9 spark plug. Advantage is better combustion. Price is 640 Rs.

Hi

VJ,I have continental Contigo tyres. My bike is only 2 weeks old and have completed 300 KM. There is a big line in middle of the tyre which travels half way. It's looks like someone draw a line with a blade. But I am sure nobody done that since I have'nt parked the bike anywhere outside of my home. Attached some images,

Well, I don't think that's a good sight to reckon. How much pressure do we have, is it on the higher side. Those middle scabs/lines aren't supposed to be appearing for a brand new 300 KM bike, at least from the tire experiences I've been through with. If you feel those patches getting deeper and deeper in the middle I'd 100% recommend you to get your tires replaced or push for warranty for new set of tires. There have been cases where people have opted for warranty on new tires which were found to be defective resembling a similar characteristics.

Cheers!
VJ

Ok.I am going to ASC today to confirm the same. Will they replace it under warranty or I need to send a mail to Honda with pictures to convince them,
not sure. Will update after meeting the manager today.

Depends on the load at the SVC, how many CBR they have to service. Go and ask them politely to finish your bike first, and tip the mechanic some ₹30-50.

You can give it any SVC you want, as long as you have the coupons.

If you had read the CBR thread whole, you wouldn't be asking these many questions..
