Re: Honda CBR 250R

Use 2 bricks under the bend pipe or get a front paddock stand or get help from a friend who will hold the bike on side stand till you replace the bearings and fix the wheel.

My Service Experience

Hi All,
I had recently done my 36000 KM servicing at Sapphire Honda, Jayanagar. The technician Mr. Zeeshan was very friendly and sincere. He allowed me to be with him when the Bike was serviced. Very happy with the experience and thoroughly recommend this service center. Just thought of sharing... Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
A Amarnath

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Yes, from now all maintenance jobs on my bike will be done by myself!!

Today scene happened between me and service advisor of aero wheels svc, dhankawadi.

1) Asked him to change front wheel bearings. he said additional 300 rs labour charge will be applied apart from service cost which is 550 rs. I said, you are charging 550 rs, for washing and oil change only. Do this bearing change job in service cost.
He replied, you customers are always thinking svc is looting you, blah blah

2) my bike completed just 2k kms after last service. I not wanted to drain that oil, which is used for only 2k kms.
I asked him to don't drain oil, instead give me the new oil. I want oil purchase entry on service reciept, to keep bike warranty.

He said, they can't give me new oil. New oil to be filled in bike. You can purchase it from counter sale, but receipt is different, this will void bike warranty.

3) I said OK, change the oil and give me drained oil.
He said, they can't give me drained oil!!😡

Then i changed my mind, canceled service.
From now i will visit svc to purchase spare parts only.

We customers stick to the svc to keep our bike in warranty. But these svc people's use this to loot us.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Guys,

Just now HMSI launched 2017 CBR1000RR Fireblade. and the CBR250R is no longer on HMSI's website.



I think something's up.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Let's hope for something better than a new paint scheme [emoji19]

Re: Honda CBR 250R

As an owner, I hope they discontinue it, and bring in a new product. Either the 300r or even the 250rr! It's been 6.5 years, and I need a change 😂

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Thank god honda plugged the plug..

Only limited number of Repsol cbr250r wer sold out..

mine will stand out in crowd for years now.. :P

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Getting your hopes up already? Honda didn't announce anything yet for the CBR 250 which still sells around 300 pieces a month, a joke compared to 3000 numbers of Dominar.



IIRC the r3 also was pulled from the Yamaha website and an Xbhpian got a mail from Yamaha stating that the r3 will be available in BSIV avatar soon.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

So, now I own two Discontinued bikes.
Hope both return with new features soon. Or I will be running for spares everywhere.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

CBRs didn't pass BSIV standard, thus removed. No official announcement yet. Honda would continue providing spares for at least 10 years. That's guarantee. I got this information from a Honda dealer friend.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Its very hard to find the spares of my Honda Dazzler here in kerala.
Didn't find a mudguard, so did a fibre welding.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hope Honda brings something in 250-300 CC category with more contemporary features and looks - I have been waiting for this sine last 6 months when I started my search to replace my Unicorn! Any inside news about new model from Honda?

Re: Honda CBR 250R


As a matter of fact, even the CBR 150s has been removed from the website. You never know, just a website refresh or as Arvind said, Honda might have indeed discontinued the CBR 250R. This can bring in two possible scenarios, in case there is a complete cease of production of these motorcycles, the first problem is either they can stop altogether the probability of bringing in another quarter liter bike or any sport bike for that matter. Apart from sportbikes which is niche segment.

Remember, Honda is more focused on selling mass market scooters and commuters in India, that's their bread and butter out of which they make a very healthy profit. Secondly, this can have a ripple effect on the owners hunting for spares, though we already have insufficient stock availability at most service centers. Though it's a law that parts should be available for 5 years after a particular model's production is ceased, only time will tell.

Well, there is a twist in the tale, or is it

Cheers!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Guarantee for spares? That made me laugh. Spares take a month or two to arrive after you order also. If there is an actual discontinuation, God help us. [emoji32]

Oil filter doesn't matter much, we can use the Fz one, what matters is the shims. Without precise measurements we cannot stock them.
Stator coil, meter console, CCT, front fork oil seals, rear shock absorber and clutch plates can be stocked. That comes to ₹20k.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Don't worry about the shims. They are (diameter) universal for many bikes for many manufacturers. You just need proper thickness. If 300R comes, most of engine parts are interchangeable! Let's hope for the best.
