Nice share mate!

Just wondering why did you opt for that switch which costs Rs. 350/-? All the switches are overpriced on Amazon, I got the hazard light switch for 100 while same was available on Amazon for at least 170. Is that special switch?

In CBR since there is no space on handle bar, So, I had two options
1. Standard switch fixed using cable ties
2. Expensive switch with a bracket.

The standard On/Off switch costs about 50 bucks. The expensive switch is a regular one but it comes with a mounting bracket for fixing on a handle bar.

I opted for the Amazon because I was not comfortable on fixing switch using cable ties. How did you mount the switch in your vehicle?

Bike stalled again today morning while coming to office. This happened just after I filled petrol. Even last time it happened when I filled up.
There has to some solution for this. Any idea?

ZMR's are direct fit.

I cannot recollect whether you have checked on your fuel filter, if not you can check that now. Also you can go for a complete drain of fuel in your tank and fill it freshly.

Ram.

Fuel filter change is every 12k km?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

This has been asked before but reading previous posts only added to my confusion.

My bike 28,000kms old and is producing faint stitching machine sounds from last 4-5 months. ASC mechanic told me to get the shims changed, while other mechanic told me its okay. I can't hear that noise when riding, but if there is silence around me (basement parking), stitching machine sound is clearly audible from 4-5 feet distance.

Do i need to get the shims job get done?

Any ideas how much it would cost? some posts i have read previously say, it will cost around 2k including labour while other posts say 6k.

If it's not loud enough (not audible in helmet) and not audible at cold start, you don't require to change shims IMO. Better get your valve clearances checked - if under specified clearance, no worries at all.

A single shim costs 224 INR. In rare occurrences you would need to replace all 4. Most of times it is either 1 shim or 2 shims. I am not aware about the labor cost, but it requires hell lot of time to work on shim. I did replace mine (all shims) at home and I remember it took almost a day (started working at 8 am and finished the job by 2 pm). The most irritating things are removing fairings and tank and remounting them. Mine is working fine since then and it has crossed 42K km by now. It was an used bike (8100 Km on odo when I bought it). Shim noise was already there. I changed those shims at 18k km on odo. Before that I got my valve clearances inspected once at Malwa Honda at odo reading around 16000 KM and their labor charge for that was 1000 INR. I rode with same jingling - went on long trips as well. Some were 900 KM in a day and that jingling was permanent - neither decreased not increased. It didn't affect in power or performance either.

If your valve clearances are within normal limit, just ignore that sound and ride on...

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hello everyone, I wonder if Indian CBR250R has side stand engine kill feature just like US models? I tried engaging the side stand while in gear, but the ignition didn't cut off.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I'd like to know, how do I point out the shim noise, at 36000km I'm not facing issues.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

It'll be constant sound like a hand sewing machine sound. I'm also getting the same sound & the ASC guys told me to replace the shim. It'll be measured by them & ordered. I'm not finding time. I've clocked close to 34000 Kms.

Hi Guys,

I wanted to know if there is an updated BS4 CBR 250 on the pipeline this year for launch?

No, it doesn't, but our Indian cbr250 has a mood kill switch, which shuts off engine once in a while by flooding it with too much fuel just when you're stuck in slow moving traffic and have to use clutch often.

[MENTION=79821]Deathwing[/MENTION] - the shims wear out early on some models. A CBR owner told me redlining causes shim wear faster, a theory I haven't really got more data on. However, like you, I've no shim noises at 42k kms.

Not sure but there is a motorbeam youtuber Faisal Khan, in his latest video he told CBR250 and CBR 150 BS4 shall be launch by Diwali..

I am not sure how much this is true as he said he got this info from inside sources from Honda and bike will get just the BS4 and AHO upgrade with new sticker job..

Not at all surprised if it's true, I foresaw this already, it's a bit of our price conscious audience and Hondas interest in selling commuters.

Makes sense, I've stopped red-lining, been a good year and a half or more, I've seen 160kmph that was good enough for me.
