Re: Honda CBR 250R

I guess fevi quick might do the work. Else we'll need some super glue.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I have 3M VHB tape, or else I will try to get it fixed like NS had

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Once done with this mod do post it here. Waiting for it.

Re: Honda CBR 250R



Fixed with feviquik. Going on strong for last 10k km.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Thats great thanks for sharing [emoji4] [emoji4] . I'll be doing the same for mine. Which bike's flap is it or its a common for all hero bikes?

Is it shorter then that of duke?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

You may get it from any local stockist. Common for all Hero motorcycles.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

You can try a fresh pack of double sided foam tape, I have few items which is still going strong with normal double sided foam tape.

There very high bonding tape which will do the trick and the nature of the foam tape will handle the vibration developed from the bike.

Feviquick/super glue will become hard and brittle, also due to vibration it might fail quicker than the foam tape.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I notice that you've got the Pilot Sporty installed. That's a 100/80 right? My friend has that installed on his bike. The clearance with respect to the mudguard is extremely little. It seems like it's almost touching. Is this case with you too? Have you faced any issues because of this?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Few days ago, I reported about chain slider went kaput and it was trapped in front sprocket, literally got chewed up. I got that replaced by a new one very next day in a nearby SVC. Today, I opened the front sprocket cover to clean the muck and extra lube. And noticed something unusual. Actually the crank case cover (magnet cover) has taken the hit of that faulty chain slider. It has been bent by an mm inwardly. I am lucky that the hit was not too hard, would have resulted in broken crank case or magnet cover.

Just a suggestion if anyone gets in such situation where chain slider goes kaput, snatch it off and ride without it till nearby service center. It's safer than riding with a loose or hanging chain slider. I wish I could have pulled if off and thrown away at the same time.

Attaching some pics for your references.

You can easily see the mating surface mismatch between magnet cover and crankcase.




To avoid further fall of chain slider, I did mark two cuts by a filer - one on upper side and one on lower side. Tied it with a copper wire in a way that the wire won't be in contact with chain. (Credit goes to Shiv18 post in his story so far... thread where he has done similar fix with a zip tie).

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Yes, you are right. It is 100/80, but clearance is enough. Never had problems like tyre touching mudguard.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Thanks! If it's not too much trouble, could you post the rear portion of the mudguard also? That's where we noticed the low clearance.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Sure, will post soon. Came out of home. Will post as soon as I reach. By the way, there may be chances that your friend's mudguard isn't fitted properly.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Great thanks a lot. Will pass this on to him and ask him to compare.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Arvind, thanks for the posts with the picture. But I think the indentation that you mentioned (though I might be wrong here) is not the indentation caused by the sliders. Casts crack for the most part, they don't leave an indent, at least from my experience.. That indent might be from the factory itself or it indeed might have been caused by the slider itself. But I am kinda skeptical. If the indentation is even, then you can pretty much assume it's a design. if you just see a sharp spot with paint peeled then you have a problem. If the paint is intact and the indent is proper then I guess it's the very design.

Cheers!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

That's done by slider only as I remember when slider went inside it was like sudden load on motor and I pulled the clutch instantly. Parked bike on side of expressway and tried to remove that piece of slider. Pulled out to some extent by moving bike backward and rode back to home. Before that even I tied that hanging piece with my office ID lanyard, but soon it got cut off due to friction.

Apart from that I regularly clean that area and the mating surface was never exposed earlier. Paint is also peeled off randomly along with the mating surface on magnet cover. It was never like that. It was all smooth earlier. You may check others too. I will also check my archived photo gallery if I have shot some pics while cleaning it earlier.
