    Earlier applying light pressure was more than enough but now I've to stomp in order to get little bite from the brake.

    I don't think the problem is the brakes per se, but getting used to it. Had 2 bikes and both have​ similar rear braking feedback. Rear brake is supposed to be soft, and not jam. Braking should 70%front and 30% rear. Follow that and it should be smooth.

      I do use both the brakes. More of front and less of rear. But I have no clue what happened to my rear brake while the front is smooth till now.

      Here are the chain and sprocket pics:

      PS: Please ignore the bee on my front sprocket. I've had all sorts of insects and small animals living on my bike, like a baby lizard in console, a green spider near the middle fairing that hops out and stays on the mirror when I go for a long ride. Some wasps made a nest on the horn too. [emoji19]
      Hey thanks for the pics. Your brake sometimes feels like it needs to be stomped, but for me it's every single time.

        For a bike like the cbr that has done 30k km, the sprockets seem to be in very good shape.. my d200 on the other hand with 29k on the odo, the front sprocket has it's teeth sharp and 'hooked'(time to replace) but the chain adjustment still has a long way to go and so does the rear sprocket. I'd be replacing the entire set next month.
        If I could just get hold of the front sprocket, then i'd be able to save some cash and ride the bike around for another 5~10k km.. but alas these guys don't sell just the front sprocket! (btw, i am not recommending this to everyone.. i know my bike better than anyone and am sure only a front sprocket will save me some money and not affect performance/safety)

        In your case, I guess you are also soon due for a replacement since the chain adjustment's will soon be out of spec.

          Re: Honda CBR 250R

          Yes, I was wondering about the condition of both sprockets, since they weren't hooked or pointy. It not 30k on odo, it's 38,891 kms.

          Since it's my first bike and first time I'm going to change the chain and sprockets, I want to be doubly sure about the mechanics involved. Thanks for the replies.

            @B7ACKTHORN - Here are the chain and sprocket pics:

            The chain adjuster is on the red zone.

            PS: Please ignore the bee on my front sprocket.

            leech, I am really surprised to see a chain in that condition even the lateral wear is hard to spot on your front sprocket, but surprisingly you say your chain has maxed out to the red zone. It's quite contradictory. Usually, either sprocket wears at a little faster rate than chains usually do. Though I might be on the wrong here, due to the camera angle, I do see a very slight hooking in your front sprocket (again it might be due to the camera angle).

            What I would suggest is, try replacing the chain alone on an "experimental" basis and see if the adjuster is any good. If after replacing the chain, the adjuster is as good as new, then you can squeeze some more life. Though this is not totally recommended, and it will accelerate the wear of either the chain or sprocket depending on the severity.

            Cheers!

              Thanks for the suggestion VJ, I couldn't find any major difference between the old and the new spare sprockets which I have in stock.

              As for changing the chain alone, I believe it would be time consuming to find a shop that sells the chain alone. After all, if the OEM chain lasts 40k kms, it's going to be another 3-4 years before I change it again.

              Too bad I couldn't save ₹₹ getting the chain sprocket set directly from Rolon.

                    Hey guys has anyone put hand guards for their ceeber, just a query ,I understand it doesn't suit the look of the bike but still it helps while touring if I'm not wrong, also any body put on a aftermarket windscreen?
                    Something's gone wrong
                    https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/zero-gravity-double-bubble-windscreen-honda-cbr250r-2011-2013


                    Found zero gravity is tried and tested , anybody else using anything else? Also I have 2 modifications lined up,
                    1) changing the part on the top of the forks to adjustable ones made in Thailand specifically for the CBR, uncle bought it to make it for his suzuki factory race bike. They are fork adjusters of some sort.
                    2) Will be changing the ball bearings to tapper rolled bearings which is more flexible and lasts the the life of the bike apparently, will post the pictures tomorrow!

                      I would suggest you to get the chain sprocket set directly from ASC only because somewhere i have read that the chain-sprocket which was bought directly from rolon did not lasted long(though rolon supplies chain sprockets to HMSI). Even I will suggest you to change the chain slider along with the chain sprocket, it costs somewhere around 120/-.

                        @Willson4willy - thank you for the suggestion. It's news to me that the Rolon chain doesn't last as long as the HONDA packaged one. It could be a case where the owner didn't take care of the second one properly.

                        As to the chain slider, I'll be sure to pick one up. But the current slider hasn't shown any inclination towards sliding, so I'm averse to changing it.

                          I don't think that, rolon package Quality is not great as honda packing.
                          Whatever, i will go for rolon package chain for my chain kit replacement!!

                            [MENTION=83711]bala13[/MENTION] - you have a 150 right? How long does the chain last on average? How much kms have you done on the factory fitted chain?

                                Actually, it's a headache. Yesterday I had to lube the spare chain and sprocket too, individually twerking each link. The factory put in some sticky fluid to prevent corrosion, anybody know what that is?


                                PS: you got the wrong idea mate. I'm not go in for the change now. There's miles to go (1000 approx) before this chain set sleeps. [emoji14]
                                Once I cross 40k, I'll put up a post about it.

                                Sorry for bothering you guys about this issue, it's just that I have nobody to ask this in my friend circle here. Every body digs bullets around these parts.
