40k is indeed a good deal, but the market is surely above that. Without sharing more details of the bike like which year, odo reading etc, cant say more. Is it a crashed bike ?

What was the fuel level while climbing ghat?

I rode from this ghat many times, as i lived in lonavala in engineering days.
My CBR used to give burning smell after climbing only on this ghat!!

Thanks for your reply yathi....😀

And I believe it will come again...👏

I literally beg one for bs3 end season, in Chennai on all showrooms. No luck for me..😬

So I am still waiting for cbr250, while watching dominar and RE Himalayan...
But my heart say CBR....

Hello,

I owned a pre-worshipped 2011 Honda CBR250R (ABS) with about 23k kms on the odo (Not sure if it has been ridden than that). I’ve had for about 2 years now and as such have had no issues apart from the problem of engine shim noise. It is a headache that I’ve not had the luck to have it resolved even after countless visits to the ASC.
However, I would like to discuss and get your expert advice, opinions and suggestions on another issue that I faced yesterday while on a long ride.

My buddy and me decided to do a long ride (Pune-Tamini Ghat- Pali-Khopoli-Lonavala-Pune). The bike was a joy to ride and I did not have any issues until I started climbing the steep ghats between Khopoli and Lonavala. I was riding at slow constant speed and keeping the revs below 6500 rpm, while taking one of the steep curves, I downshifted to first gear and when I release the clutch and tried to accelerate, the bike just died. It did not stall but fell like the bike just switched off. Felt like an electrical cut-off but everything else was working fine, I had my headlights on which was still on. I switched on my blinkers and tried to re-start the bike. While cranking the engine, I could feel the bike start for one or two ignition cycles and died when I release the starter switch. Took me about five minutes to restart the bike and then I rode it to a safe place and checked the bike. Everything was working fine and I saw a few drops of engine oil drip on the ground (most probably from the oil filter seal). The bike rode fine till I reached home.

What I’m baffled with is why the bike stopped so suddenly? I could have been riding on the highway and such an incident may end with me getting into an accident.
Please let me know what you think of this and what I need to check, repair or replace.

Thanks

Admins: Please move this to the proper thread. Thanks!

Hello owners and fellow members,

As my bike developed some issue and didn't crank at all - Details are here in this post , So I left my bike at the SVC for 7 days and after taking delivery I didn't ride much due to bad weather (rain and thunderstorm) here in Kolkata - Only Ride 40-45 km short here and there 15/20 KM for 2 Day so didn't notice this.

The issue is; Today I thought to lube my chain so I put it on the main stand and when I try to rotate the Rear Wheel it is hard to move by hand for an even single rotation...Last day (pre- Diwali Time) during my ride without the helmet at some internal road of my neighbourhood in the quiet afternoon I hard some 'Klich Klich' noise which generated near from the rear Axl which I thought then that it may need some lube....that's all....

So the Long Story Short my CBR's rear wheel is completely jammed...and I'm sure it is when the bike returned from the SVC it is not there earlier.

Now I know this for fact (as I experienced earlier) when I change my rear tire there is some parts at the rear Axl which not install correctly jammed the tire - I don't know the exact name of it....

My question here is it possible that parts are stolen by the SVC? - This SVC was trusted one and in past 2/3 times I left my bike there but now there are many new faces appearing every time I visit at SVC who may do something to my bike ...... here someone already mentioned the bike become donor bike for parts.


Please let me the know....the real issue here.

How much do good headlights cost? need them for highway rides at night. the stock halogen is no good post 70-80kmh. Any brands to look out for?

btw, you're like CBR guru around here, cheers

Hey guys i would like to have my bike a more powerful headlight as stock in not enough during night on the highways. I'm a noob, can you help me with how to go about it. Do I need a bigger battery, which LED light should I use and should I get all the indicatora and tail replaced with an LED?

Guys, I'm facing a problem with the ignition. When I turn my key to ON from LOCK, the instrument cluster is, sometimes, turning off. Like, LOCK-->ON: no display.
The mechanic is saying to apply some WD40 in the lockset and try again.
I'm using the second key that I originally got with my bike's purchase, the first one being disposed off due to excessive usage.
I'm doubting if the lockset needs a change. I've done ~29k kms.

Greetings everyone.
I had a small issue and was wondering if any of you could help me.
My pass light switch doesn't seem to be working fine. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

In Bangalore I know one showroom who have more than 10 CBR 250 bikes with them. The show room guy will say alot false information but when I checked wirh the storage team they had many. But the problem was, they had respol edition only in abs which somehow I just hate. Next was low discount, bike is certainly couple of months old and registered on show room name. Their offer was 22-25k, hence I looked the used market and got a very good deal from my friend itself. So I believe if you search still there is chance to find the bikes.

CBR is tuned lean and sometimes ECU does not cope up with sudden RPM drop and the engines dies. it has happened to many of us multiple times. nothing wrong just a flaw in ECU map.

Hello. Everyone. Thank you giving me the input to apply WD-40 on the pass light switch. It works better now.
I have just got a new led installed on the bike. The product is of RTD, a 35w led bulb with fan and relay. It works like a charm. Super bright light. Just one problem is that, in order to install that, the rubber casing of the headlight had to be removed. Would that cause any issue?
The light is amazing though.

How can a CBR250 can give such shitty problems yaar?? I own a Bajaj Discover150F. She is very strong and powerful. I have done Pune-Mumbai-Pune rides 8 times till now on my bike. But my babe didnt gave any problem on that khopoli-lonavala ghat till now.

Thanks, that'll bring my blood pressure down . I believe you have a lot of experience with the CBR250R. WIll be very grateful if I can contact you in the future for clearing any queries I may have.

Ok, let me share my knowledge here. I had asked the same question to the best engineer here. His advise was, if you were replacing oil filter, the Honda throttle oil is good to use around 6k. But he was also saying, it always good to change oil prior to its last stage which will help engine in long life. In his view, yes shell is better than Honda but Honda synthetic oil not bad either. So if you are in warranty period, you don't need to switch to shell. So my overall understanding is, always try to change oil filter, and try to use the engine oil for 6 month or 6k range. Somewhere in team bhp I read a blog about a touring guy who change his oil in every 10k range and still running like charm. But I will try to service every 6 month or 6k range, not more than that.
