    Is that so? Fact is it vibrates more in lesser gears on high rpm. Apart from that it vibrates all the time more or less - depends on how you measure it.

      I have never felt my cbr vibrating in 1&2 gear and yes it depends on how we measure it. Maybe i don't feel vibration because i have switched from apache rtr 180 which was always vibrating cbr feels butter smooth to me.

        I came across an ad about Honda CBR 250R ABS(2012) ridden only for 1830 Kms. I have checked with the owner and found that he looks like trustworthy.
        My queries are,
        1. Is it okay to buy a CBR 250R which was ridden only for 1800 kms in last five years ?
        2. What are all the checkpoints should I consider?
        3. When I rode it within his apartment road I felt vibrations in the first Two gears... Is it normal ?

        Appreciate your suggestions on this.
        IMO get a bike which is in running condition. 1800kms in 5years, that a bare minimum kms I have seen. It's like John Abraham's R1 and Hayabusa both I suppose had ridden few hundred kms in 3-4 years.

        Did the owner kept the bike at display as a showpiece?

Cbr has lot of sensors which may not be working. And the bike never vibrates in 1st and 2nd gear. It vibrates only when pushed 8k+. Get it checked with an knowledgeable mechanic who works on cbr and other similar bikes.[emoji106]

          Thanks for your quick response... He seems to have the complete service record for the CBR which is yet to be checked...

            He gave me the reply as he bought it thinking he will go for long drives... But after that he caught up with lots of work front... Also he is having two cars...

              Its possible that the bike has been stored and serviced regularly even though it has not been run much. I myself have multiple bikes so all my bike have very low mileage on them. But I never let their condition deteriorate

              In any event, if you are not too mechanically inclined, take a trusted mechanic along and have the bike thoroughly checked.

              Look for:
              1. Rust inside the petrol tank
              2. Rust on the chassis and swingarm. Check for any welds or cracks etc
              3. Check both the front and back suspension and for coneset sounds
              4. The wheels should rotate well and are not warped etc.
              5. Check for cracks cuts on the tyres
              6. Check levels of oil and coolant
              7. Listen to the engine idling sound for anything that does not seem normal
              8. Take the bike for a long test ride solo and with the owner as pillion to check for any suspension/other issues
              9. Check if the handles pull to any particular side while riding by letting go of the handlebars
              10. After coming back from the test ride, listen to the engine idle again for any metallic or odd sounds
              11. Check the chain condition as well.
              12. And finally the paperwork and all the locks etc of the bike cos the lockset itself costs a bomb for this bike
              Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle!

                  Picked up a 2014 Repsol CBR250r last Saturday. Got some Motogp-esque stickering and washed and polished her well. Looking forward to some great ride experiences with this baby.

                  Things pending :

                  Tyre Change
                  Mirror stalk painting
                  Oil Change to Shell Ultra 10w40.
                  Accelerator(s) and Clutch cable change.
                  hii from where u got the stickering job done?

                      Hello Friends,

                      Bought CBR250r repsol edition 2017 .
                      Need help on below issues,

                      Facing a weird issue , there is a lot of vibration on handle bar , foot pegs and around tank area .. between 5.5k rpm to 6.5k rpm . After that it reduces . This vibration is in all gears .
                      Also above 7.5k rpm there is a buzzing sound from fairing like continues krrrrrr.... It seems from visor only..
                      Apart from this the rear tail is slightly off towards left side .
                      Please help.
                      Also is it advisable to get extended warranty now .?
                      And any suggestions on good service center in delhi and Ghaziabad,noida .
                      Currently going to Dhingra Honda peeragarhi , seems good but the technician Asif doesn't sounded much knowledgeable .

                      Also if anyone recently bought the HH rated pads for ABS version from Galfer, or brembo or EBC please provide a link .

                        Take it easy for first 500kms don't give sudden throttle let the piston sit property and while reducing the speed don't engage the clutch let the engine to slow down the bike and use engine braking for some time but no sudden downshifting. All the vibration should be gone after first oil change if not then get the bike checked at svc.

                          Today when i was on a ride 40kms from my place suddenly my radiator fan stopped working and I was unaware about it. when i was waiting on a signal luckily i saw my temp guage showing 5 points. I was completely shocked waited for some time to let the engine cool down and went to svc. My radiator fans relay was gone and this is the second time it happen. The technician was saying that it happens often in cbr. So i would like to tell you all that carry 1 fan relay if you are riding far away so that you can change it yourself in this type of situation luckily i was in my city when this happened.

                          Ride safe🍻

                              If you can get extended warranty, I would suggest you opt for peace of mind. With meagre properly equipped service centers out there and trained mechanics for the motorcycle, plus spare availability an extended warranty would definitely suffice. Coming to vibes, if your bike is brand new and hasn't covered more than 4k, then give her some time and make sure oil is replaced at the right service intervals. Yes, on some bikes the rear fender can be a very very slightly off center, perfectly normal, especially with ABS ones, tolerances, can't help. With regards to buzzing at the front cowls, check your mirror stalk and the fairing screws for proper torque. ALso see, if anything abnora

                              AFAIK, the fan relay doesn't go kaput very often in the CBR as your mechanic stated. Probably you have a faulty fuse socket or water ingress which either oxidated and caused a short. Check the fuse box, clean with compressed air (just a whiff) check the fuse box itself for any undulations or any nicks in the wires that join the box. Cracked wires indeed can cause arcing and fuse. A frequently shoring fuse can be an indication of short circuit in the wiring which caused the short in the first place. But it's a good idea to keep fuses handy as those fuses are not provided as a spare.

                              Cheers!

                              Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                              The girl said, 'NO!'


                              And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


                              THE END

                                Chain slack is correct and recently lubed .. I m not sure for axle alignment and how to check it .. is it we check on the markings present for adjusting chain slack or anything else ?

                                I will definitely go for the extended warranty ������..
                                How much does the Honda oil can be used 4k kms ? As service interval is 6k kms .
                                For mirror and visor vibes , the mechanic told that he needs to completely open the front fairing and check if there is any loose nut .
                                The rear tail is slightly more than off center . I will post a picture for this ..
                                Any help for the HH rated brake pads , I want to order them in advance .
