Re: Honda CBR 250R

They dont have the filter in stock, and don't want the customer to report them to Honda, so they cook up the bullshit story. Due to the engine being well built, the SVC are sure the bike won't show signs of abuse till out of warranty.

Personally, I've run the bike 18k kms with the same oil filter vs the recommended 12k change interval, due to unavoidable circumstances. It's too early to find out any signs of engine damage; one of these days when I get hands on some excess ₹₹, I'll experiment with how long the CBR 250 engine can go with Honda Throttle 10w30 FS before destructing. I'm guessing around 15,000-20,000 kms.

Before that, I got to order some engine parts, like bore and piston kit. Experts please chime in as to what other parts I may need to order for this experiment. TIA.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

They usually don't have many things in stock for cbr250 models. I had to wait 2 days until I got my hands on new hand grip as my old one was messed up by somebody.
Yes now I see that it is indeed odd. I'll get my oil filter changed in second servicing none the less.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Well sir i guess list would be very long and there might be a possibility that some parts may or may not get damaged due to this attempt. So the list would be like(just a guess):-

Engine head
-Camshafts
-Rocker arms
-Valves
-Valve seals
-Valve springs(if required/damaged)
-Valve seats
-Valve retainers(if required/damaged)
-Shims
-Cam chain

Cylinder
-Bore
-Piston
-Rings
-Cam chain tensioner

Lower engine
-Crankshaft assembly(if required/damaged
-Clutch assembly
-Balancer(if required/damaged)
-Engine bearings(if required/damaged)

Other things
-Air filter
-Oil filter
-Engine oil
-Gasekets/packing
-Coolant

Sometimes because of much abuse, engine head(cylinder head) also gets damaged due to cracking of piston into pieces though.

Experts please add on the parts which I have missed out.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Pirellis are good, even Angel city is termed good for "city use"


@All : Anyone installed front fender flap to stop slush going towards radiator, could not find any images even. Can NS's be installed in our bikes?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I am thinking of doing this. Have seen a video on YouTube in which the flap of duke is used.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Here's the link to that video

Re: Honda CBR 250R

2000 for 1st service??? And they didn't even changed the oil filter? Make sure about the costs of the consumables because at Pashankar SVC (Paud Road) it cost me 1375 including oil filter change. (Lubricated the chain myself)

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Almost Rs.600 are taxes.
They added brakes cleaning and chain lube extra each and I had to get some parts machin polished as during the delivery they didnt polish properly so went to My Wings. From next service most probably I'll be going to Yash Honda, Hadapsar. They have seperate area for CBR's.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

600 can not be charged as tax under any circumstance if the amount is anywhere between 1k-2k. This means they have cheated on you. And what polish are you talking about? Teflon coating? If that is it then it is already added when you purchased your bike. 500 for 5 coatings.

Cheers.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Sorry my mistake.
Sorry those are the labour charges
1227 engine oil
36 consumable
199 chain lube
300 brake cleaning
Total 1.4k +600 labour

Rs 74 are the taxes.

When I saw the bike before booking some minor scratches where present. So before delivery they tried to polish those scratches but insted due to there shabby work the shine of those 3-4 patches was gone so when I went for the service I got those patches corrected. I didnt take any coating package as such. I polish my bike on my own using 3M premium liquid wax and once after the rainy season I'll be taking it to a detailer for a proper detailing.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

For me the honda throttle oil loses its viscosity around 2000kms itself, also if your bike is done with free services,try to put a more thicker oil as it's summer, I have decided to go for 300v , where I'll check the oil at 4000km intreval and probably change at 6000km or top depending on the nature of the oil, also better go change the oil filter ,every time u change oil, to keep the engine health in good shape. For oil filter I think some have tried the fz oil filter, I think it's a direct fit, not sure tho , air filter change intreval is 10000km but better to change at 5000 itself if you stay in a dusty region. I will be leaving my bike for service tomorrow also changing my CBR 150 brake pads to the OEM ones as earlier I was a bit broke , the rear p220 ones still have life , hardly use the rear. Also the svc said might need to change the brake disc rear but I got s 2nd opinion from a friend who runs a multi brand service center ,said my disc is good for another 5000-6000kms easily,even earlier the chain sprocket lasted longer than the svc said, I cut a link n used for a good period,I knew when the chain set had to be replaced with sounds n the feel, will keep you guys updated on the rear brakes after service tomorrow,friend said he will get the caliper cleaned and rear brake bled. Any idea on the change intreval of brake oil guys?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Completely normal. As a matter of fact, in B2B you can feel the heat in legs at some point and since the side panels and cowls are at close proximity to the radiator and the engine itself, it's normal to see some slight heating up of the plastic components, absolutely normal

I usually am not a proponent for quoting pictures for answers. But this is beautiful picture indeed. What was the exposure setting. needless the galaxy looks amazing, thing I love about extended exposure..

Connecting it directly to the battery means, the device is always drawing power, parasitic drain. This is fast effective and doesn't require splicing of any wires. In case of ignition operated accessories, the wiring must be spliced for it to be operational with the ignition, though this can be done after warranty period or after the free service period. Try not to fiddle with wiring during the service period. Considering the drama that unfolds with servicing at service centers for the 250, you may want to keep your warranty intact.

Good luck destructing the CBR's engine. As long as there is oil, she'll keep on chugging you just cannot kill a Honda just like that. But, in case you eventually MURDER it, then the part list can go long. In that case, start searching for a used engine, the repair bills would exceed the cost a bike that's been totaled in a junkyard with a good engine.

Deathwing, do post the pictures of the 150Rs brake pad side by side w.r.t to the stock Bybre's pad and the price on the packing if you can, would help mighty for lot of folks here. We did have a topic about this quite a while back and there was some lack of clarity, so this would be very helpful. Secondly, rotors are required to be changed when they are excessively worn or scored with circular indents.. If you see excessive ring and deep groves on the rotor then they require replacement. Also one easy way to is to measure the thickness of the rotor using a vernier caliper/screw gauge. Usually it's 3.3 to 3.5 mm min thickness mentioned on the rotor itself. Check if it's equal and more than that, then your rotor is fine, if it's lesser than 3, then a replacement is a good idea.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

1st service is free, as well as 2nd and 3rd (i.e no labour is charged but only consumables) Then why charge 600 for labour? Please check it out before it's too late. Pretty sure that they've looted you blindfolded.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Thank you. That was a real eye opener. I'll try to get the refund. Really My wing honda has proved why they have such low ratings on google reviews.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Thanks buddy. But I doubt double sided tape will stay for long.
