Optimum Opti-Seal - Polymer Sealent

A sealant is basically used for protecting the wax & a wax to protect the polish & the polish to protect the paint

Whew!!! So you decide, if you need a sealant or not!!!

3. Mothers Chrome Polish (or any better Polish, if any1 suggest here)

But...why a chrome polish for C250R

May be for Rx, KB is acceptable. What you'll need is simply polish. I'm not sure if Mother's has, but Meguiar's has one. Anyway, I'm not suggesting anything here as I'm yet to test the polish. I've been using Waxpol, which, I wouldn't recommend for the hard work you need to do. Otherwise, the result is good. I'll post a feedback on Meguiar's once I get it this month.

Hmm...true...but in between washing & waxing, if a polish is being used, it protects the paint for longer time.

Anyone in Hyd facing any issues??? Am not able to slot into the gears properly (false gears)... Dont know if it is a gearbox issue or me!!! Nothing else at the moment... wait

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 !!

Some of the general things you need to do before you leave your bike untouched for a long time.
1) Drain the engine oil
2) Remove the Battery and store it safely.
3) Keep the gas tank as empty as possible.
4) Do not even let a drop of water stay in the bike.
5) Cover it with a good waterproof bike cover.
6) And Importantly park in a less accessed area.
7) Keep some rat repellents around if possible to prevent the possibilities of electrical wiring damages.

And before you start using the bike after a long resting
1) Fill the engine with oil.
2) Charge the battery before you put it back.
3) Fill the gas.
4) check for any electrical damages and check if horn and all the lights are working.
5) Clean the bike.
6) Start the engine and run it in idle for few minutes.

Guys please add anything that is missed here.

T_T, you already know, i m new in this section, so just taking inputs from here n there,

now need only polish other things are clear, do your testing and let us know.
Today i contacted Honda dealer in Delhi about CBR accessories(Paddock, cover etc), they said "In pipeline will get by this month".

I thought you were supposed to keep as much fuel as possible in the tank!

I did not understand your sentence. Can you explain it.
Do you mean to tell, between the first wash&wax and the second, use some polish. Is this what you are telling ? Or something else

Even for me it was written as 19 bhp.. Dunno what they're upto. Not a big deal for me as I'll be keeping the bike for ever!

I don't think so it will be an issue..!

Yesterday filled the tank 2nd time, first mileage check 33.38 Km/L

Is it? How do you think so? IMO, if the false gears fades after changing the engine oil, then, yes, not an issue. But if it doesn't...

I'd the same false gears on my previous engine block, but, only when down shifting, between any gears from 5-2.

In the current engine block, I'm experiencing only between 3-2.
