    Checked!! Non available. Even this one i will be the second owner

      My personal suggestion is to buy the cbr abs if you have the cash. Its got abs and better cooling than the FZ25. Also the top end is more.

          Then it is the best and even my friend also came across a CBR 250 R ABS and a few goodies with the bike and the asking price was also 1.75 but the only thing was it was HR registered else he would have bought that and then we went to the nearby showroom which had a REPSOL Cbr non abs which was offered for 1.5 lacs with 50kms on odometer and he bought it immediately. I think you should buy it.

              Actually it is available in Delhi and I think I even saw one on OLX which is offered by a dealer and I think you should also look at some pre-owned Duke 390 or RC 390 as it will be in your budget.

                  Avoid high pressure wash from next time.

                      I usually wash my bike with the pressure washer at home on sunday or once in two weeks. But it doesn't have much pressure as its powered by 12v mobile charger in car. It was last pressure washed during the first service which was on 30th April.


                      Thanks for the advice I'll it in mind during the monsoon washes at the washing centre

                          I have a custom made rack. I use it to carry luggage when I tour with a pillion. I keep the lightest luggage on rack and fit the heavier things in saddle bag to avoid wobbling.

                            Change the oil filter at every oil change.
                            Didn't see that on a retail shop in my city, but will surely check it online. Heard about shell 10W40 too. Thanks brother

                              WOW! That's odd! I thought I'm the only one with this problem. So the solution is to keep an extra 1 liter pack always. [emoji53] Thanks brother

Gasket makers can be used as a temporary solution. If you have an oil change imminent, it's a good idea to change the O ring of the oil filter cover.



                                Do not over optimistically consider manufacturers oil change interval. For a motorcycle, the engine oil has to go through stress, shear, temperature that is so much higher than a four wheeler and 3 to 4k is max for a FS oil to drag it to. I'd always recommend 3.5k for FS in liquid cooled engines. It's really complicated, oil does evaporate, but not as fast as one thinks it can evaporate. Oil does burn, but what I'd suggest is do a compression check and see if the compression is fine, if it isn't oil maybe getting burned slowly which is very hard to notice.

                                Cheers!

                                Hmm.. that's true, and I have never done a compression check till now. Its is important to do so because I already feels like a pick up lag. Thanks for replying brother.
