Yes, although you must check the engine oil level, brake fluid level, coolant level, and the tyre pressure every week. If you have time, lubricate the chain every week, irrespective of kms ridden. Gear oil or fresh engine oil is fine for our chains.

I'll be getting the first serviced done by 30th April. And I'll surely perform all the checks during the sunday bike wash. Thanks for the advice ☺

Honda has 100-500 sales of the CBR250 a month. Given that it's been in the market for 6 years, I'm assuming that Honda has already recouped their initial investment on the bike, and are having a break even point of around 100 sales below which production of the bike is no longer profitable.

A little off topic, but in regards to chain lube/clean; a friend lost his two fingers of right hand while cleaning his N650's chain last weekend in Allahabad. The serious mistake he did was he tried to clean the chain while 1st gear was engaged. Bike was on maintenance stand. In a matter of seconds due to some distraction, both index and middle finger were pulled over rear sprocket under the chain - one detached instantly and another finger crushed badly to non-repairable condition.

Shared it here because if anyone is doing so, he/she must refrain from lubing/cleaning chain while motor on. Frankly speaking, I have also done cleaning while motor on for once or twice in the past. Thought to share it as a lesson if someone else does the same.

My bike is new with just 134 km on the odo

I too faced this issue, I believe it's due to the air box heating, which sometimes does based on our ambient temperature

I think you have not seen that this happened last weekend. It's not possible to get back to riding after that incident.

I too got 8 stitches in my right fingers due to similar mistake. Bad for him to end up loosing his fingers. Hope he recovers get back soon.

I did chain clean and lube on my RS200, no padock, no rotating the wheel.

I just move the bike forward or backward.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Two fingers gone, means he can't brake properly. That is sad. Is there any medical treatment that could help? Like an artificial finger or something?

The finger which was detached, had gone under surgical repair and is added back. Another one which was crushed, had to go. It was beyond surgical repair.

But how did the fingers get sucked in? Did he use a cloth? I was under the impression that the professional method involves only a can of cleaner, then a can of lube, both aerosol spray.

Not aware of how it got trapped. Didn't think it's okay now to go over how did it happen. All I could get he was cleaning chain while motor on gear was engaged. Will surely ask him once he is recuperated and gets discharged from hospital.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hello, mileage in the city and highway? Comparing this to the dominar 400.
Since only these two bikes have abs and seem good for long run.
Once a month touring and rest of the time city.

Please guide me with mileage
