Re: Honda CBR 250R

Should I apply coating on my bike ??

Re: Honda CBR 250R

CBR 150 chain comes with masterlink, so no need to remove swingarm for chain replacement. We can use Paddock Stand for chain sprocket kit replacement of CBR150.
I don't know whether CBR250 chain comes with masterlink or not.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hey all, I have joined xbhp for some time but my I'd was not activated, so I was unable to post anything, well I am good now.
Well, my self yathi, here working in bangalore. I am pretty much mad with these mini sports bike and was searching desperately for a good bike. I like calm and powerful bike which have good reliability. Frankly I have gone through all bikes in the range between 2-5 lakh and finally bought a used 2016 Honda CBR abs 2016 Jan registered model. Vehicle has ran near 9k and yesterday I did the fourth service on anada honda, hosa road, Bangalore. While checking the job card, I was able to see that they didn't replace the air filter and oil filter. I was thinking about oil filter, it supposed to change in each service right? I went there again, but they are saying not required. Vehicle has 3+ year Honda warranty, so I believe I can't switch to any aftermarket synthetic oil. Also I can see that after their service, some stickers are peeling off. What's the best I can do on that? Which is the best Honda dealer in Bangalore. I also need some help on buying a radiator grill and if possible an indicator integrated rear view mirror. Thanks a lot in advance

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Butting in on this:

In monsoons, I clean the chain during every alternate lube session. Now the gap between lube sessions isn't defined by the kilometers you cover, but by the condition your chain is in. I don't let the chain run dry - ever! In heavy rains in city traffic, I have had to lube in as less as 100 km because of rain water and grime washing away all the lube/grease.
So, I clean the chain every alternate lubing session.

In drier seasons, the ratio is 1:3. I clean every 3rd lubing session, just because grime accumulated is far far less.
I usually see up to 600 km in dry climates with grease and 400-450 km with a lube. Highway rides don't see me lubing the chain during the ride at all. I carry some lube but I've rarely used the same during a long ride. I just lube the chain at night and let it settle throughout the night before taking off.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

[MENTION=41586]Divya Sharan[/MENTION] thanks DS! That gives me a standard to judge by. I've been lubing the chain a lot since I experience vibrations creeping in during the ride. The thin oil may be the culprit there. And the last long ride I went on, there was some pretty heavy downpour. No wonder the chain was dry when I checked the next morning. I was quite taken aback since I'd just lubed the chain the previous night. Now the whole experience makes better since. I didn't think rain would wash lube away. Thanks!

Re: Honda CBR 250R



You have to replace the oil filter every time you change oil. Even Honda says the same. You can use FZ16's oil filter if you wish to save some cash (but not in warranty duration).

Re: Honda CBR 250R

So what shall I do now? The mechanic was saying he checked the condition and its good, need to replace only next time. I can go to another Honda show room and ask to replace and top up the oil, if required. Kindly advise, also if anyone knows a trustworthy CBR service center in Bangalore

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Also the previous owner changed the oil on last January, after that vehicle has ran roughly 4000km. Since i am a new owner I gave to service after the purchase.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Please change oil every 4k km if you're on the OE spec 10w30 oil and city usage is the primary usage. And stress on changing oil filter every time.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Wow, as per this the oil change is every 12k km. This is wrong or could be taken from a bike that's in foreign country.

The manual with me shows the oil change as every 6k km and oil filter change in every alternate i.e, 12k km. Let me edit the post once I have a picture of it.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

You're right. CBR250R has 6000 km oil change intervals. I got this pic off google. Please share the same page from your manual for everyone to benefit. That way we can validate if these SVC guys are even remotely right in bypassing oil filter change between oil changes.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Just an update on this, I have almost finalized the bike in the above price range. The bike is a December 2013 model and maintained very well by the owner, rear tyre is new and brake pads too are in decent shape. Will be taking delivery this Sunday. Thank you for the help

Re: Honda CBR 250R

[MENTION=41586]Divya Sharan[/MENTION] - I have the 2012 250R and it says to change oil filter every 12k kms. So it's every alternate service.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Thanks guys, I did check with another Honda service center. As per them they are changing air filter alternative only. It was raining here in Bangalore today, one single drive, the vehicle is damn nasty...rear tire is throwing more.
