Hey RG, if you get any details of the camp in chennai, Kindly call me too. Although there are no issues with mine yet, I would like to get it checked once.

Aargee i understand your point, every thing including cars ,sbk's even battle tanks rust . The point being whom should i go to to resolve my issue? the Dealer sent me to ASC , well good that's what was to be done, now the ASC guys have just taken pics but havent taken any of my contact details so i don't know how the hell are they gonna resolve my issue. Should i mail the pics directly to the Feedback email of HMSI, any chance they will get back to me, i enquired about the possibility of fitting C-ABS ON STD bike but got no reply.
in the past when i faced any issues with my YAMAHA R15, i straight away mailed to yamaha head office and got immediate reply and resolution .Now that's what i call customer service , Honda not responding is pissin me off, wouldn't u feel the same if u faced similiar dilemma?

I think 6 k service interval for a CBR is too much..every 2 K is more meaningful, and safe...At these intervals Owners must check for engine oil QUALITY and QUANTITY, and change it.....and CHECK the most important RADIATOR COOLANT LEVEL.

Ok, let me think if I were you...
First I wouldn't try to spoil my relation with ASC, but at the same time, I wouldn't make the ASC feel that I'm a fool either. So I'd constantly keep in touch with them on the progress, understand the situation & respond.

They will; the reason why its taking time is because, HMSI has a great love for their spares that they wouldn't sell them So obviously dealer takes the brunt of not getting them & facing ferocious customers.

You cannot still expect a faster resolution. You'll be either asked to contact the dealer or your email will be forwarded to dealer.

Yes, you'll not; because, not many people will understand if it can be done. Most people ask why should Anti Braking Systems should be installed when it does the opposite of braking

Now go & read back my previous post on what I said on EXPECTATION. You're expectation has been set to a certain level by YMIS & you're expecting the same or more from HMSI. If its met, you're one happy customer. But understand that, both are two different companies with completely different philisophy of work culture to management. So what worked over there in one mechanism might not work the same here.

Lol!!! I'd been in a far more worst scenario & most people here in xBhp know about it. As long as you're able to ride your C250R, keep enjoying with it. But never fail to follow-up; give them some more time & each time if a commitment fails beyond certain limit, keep moving up higher & you'll get the real picture.

Ji, 2K is too much actually. It can certainly withstand 4K+ for sure, unless the vehicle is used for abused rides. Last evening after the oil change, I opened up gradually, like we spoke. Even after that, there's no stress on the engine, nor an additional sound, touchwood.

What the hell yaar...

Yesterday was the first time I actually used a bucket of water on my CeeeBrrrrr....and immediately im hearing this noise rattling kinda noise from somewhr in the front...

Guys I also bought the royal enfield cover for the ceeber..though it fits just f9...but it aint waterproof...keeps it away from eyes and rubbin though...

Also i recvd my keiti carbon look tankpad yesterday...fits just f9...luks awsum...

I am using..3M wax for painted parts, waxpol for etched parts and cherry blossom for tyres..but i found a wax from pidilite attracts less dust then the 3m wax...nice products all of them though...

Good to hear that...Meanwhile i had been searching for an alternate oil filter which may suit the CBR 250.I think the yamaha FZ is the closest...have a look for yourself.....


If the Fz is suitable, we can even shift the rubber lip from old CBR filter to the FZ one since they all are removable ...

^^^ Tks a million Ji
But there's an adverse risk that one might loose warranty too. For your research, I'll get my old oil filter when I change it next week.

But technically speaking, what I've on mind is, does all filter (be it 150 or 250cc) be the same type & quality & does the same cleaning quality as it has to? Wouldn't it also depend upon the flow?

I and my friend both want to buy CBR250R. I want to know the waiting period for this bike in Pune or Mumbai for me and in Kerela for my friend. I am asking for this info because we are residing in UAE and are planning a Rajasthan trip in Decenber on bike.
Thanks,
Henry

Technically they will be different... the lesser cc bike with lesser pressure will have more porous filter than the higher cc..
I picked the Yamaha FZ filter as ideal replacement for CBR because, it is larger in dia, has more number of pleats in filter element,which means more effective filtering and more permeable than the other two....
I am only trying to get a workable solution, and I am sure you can't postpone oil change because of non-availability of oil filter and cause more problem to the engine.There are many posts of postponement of timely oil change due to lack of oil filter, and to them I address this possible alternate,so that the engine is not compromised..If the A.S.S cannot arrange for a replacement they very well accept what is arranged by customer, or give in writing that they had not done mandatory oil change due to non-availability of oil filter with H M S I, and engine is compromised.
Apart from this what about those who want to keep their bike in top condition and do the oil change by themselves earlier than the indicated intervals ?
It is the initial 1,000 Kms when the engine is settling down that maximum debris will be seen in oil, afterwards it is a question of using quality oil and proper maintenance, and oil filter has much less strain.

Help

Hi Guys..

I need your experiences to guide me as to how to take care of my bike (CBR 250R C-ABS) when i am not around. Reason being most of the time (4 months at a stretch at a time) I am out of India and there is no one who can ride my bike (or i can trust upon) every now and then.

Please post in as to what preparations should i make before hand and what to do after i come back. I will go for first servicing sometime next week so will ask the honda guys as well but i want to hear your valuable opinion on this too.

Thanks !!

Please give some light and thought on this also:
Optimum Opti-Seal - Polymer Sealent


Products - Auto-Mall.in

Good to use on our CeebeeR?

Too many products in Ebay Link....Which one(or two) to choose for CBR ?

Ok, I made a list for which I'll be going post positive review of you guys, , Thnx RG for the guidance, :P
1. Optimum No Rinse™ Wash & Shine
2. Collinite Liquid Wax No. 845 - Most durable CAR Wax
3. Mothers Chrome Polish (or any better Polish, if any1 suggest here)

Put your review and points, (need only bestest items, I am afraid since i got done that cheap Teflon coating)

@titanic4u,
What you have listed is absolutely perfect. Here my thoughts.

To keep it very simple not get confused with all of things available.
1. Optimum No rinse for cleaning purpose. Remember as mentioned in previous post minimum water wash on CBR's
2. Collinite 845 for waxing. You can use this almost on all the places in CBR

Nothing more than this is required for maintenance of your CBR.
