Re: Honda CBR 250R

I have been using system G for a year now. It seems to be doing it's job well. I straightaway noticed an increase of 2-3kmpl in FE.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hi. IMO I would wait for the 2018 CBR 250r to be launched which comes with led lights. Instead of changing just the led bulbs for that and having to remove the dust cover for the complete use time of those bulbs, you can get the complete assembly changed. Pretty sure those housing are designed to have dust covers on them.
I too am waiting for that currently.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Good grief what is it with the people here of using non OEM products? no wonder bikes are getting bust front left and centre.

Hah I can almost imagine these poor engines getting raped. Please; these are not your second grade Bajaj or TVS or whatever crap you have graduated from, try to use OEM parts or write a mail to honda, see the difference post haste. Please do so, otherwise don't be surprised if these companies stop bothering selling such products in the near future.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

What parts are you referring too?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Look at the posts above, but I would try to summarise
1) Engine oil; there is absolutely no issue with the OEM one, and apparantly using car/diesel engine oils are doing well. While the Shell brand can be used in cases of emergency there is this fetish, for other brands as though the machines are driven for such a niche purpose.
2) Brake pads; Apparantly even when parts are available there is this thing for using the cheapest one's available, that too of Bajaj, which are known to be of poor quality.
3) Lights; For some reason everyone want's to be a truck on the road, if you are unable to see with the stock headlamps please get your eyes checked.
4)Suspension, tyres etc; These things are responsible amongst the others of keeping you steady on the road.
etc etc.

To conclude while there is absolutely nothing wrong in using after market parts when the stock ones are not avaiable, it is a travesty to use them when parts are there.

The bike has been transplanted from the Fireblade itself and these juggad monkey jobs are just spoiling the machine.

Point is; if you want the bike to run well, stick to the manual and the service manual, both of which are amply available on the thread. Otherwise hope these hack jobs ground you, like the countless others on the wayside and garages.

P.S sticking with the official service centres enable you to escalate the matter and get refunds which is lost even when a single after market part is used.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

So u mean to say we should always give priorities to the official service centers ??

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Re: Honda CBR 250R Service Option in Delhi

I recently picked up a used 2011 Honda CBR 250R (STD). All things just seemed smooth, and felt I did get a good deal.

Now I am planning to get a through service done on it.

I was reading reviews of few service centers around Delhi, and none actually have any good reviews.

Is there any recommended service center any one can suggest in around Delhi?

Re: Honda CBR 250R Service Option in Delhi

Malwa Honda

Okhla, ND

There is a mech, Ramesh and a supervisor, Shyam. Both are trained personnels.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

You got a point, but coming to engine oil, I use motul 10w 40 Normally and used 300v oil last summer and bike ran pretty fine n smooth, my issue with the stock Honda oil, by 2000kms the oil feels like its done, because of the thin Ness and I ride in a mixed manner, not too soft or not too hard usually don't go above 7000rpm unless the road permits, motul 10w40 is good for 3000-4000kms easily. Stock tyres are continental go's, they are ok but very very puncture prone, at 10k km I had 6-7 punctures on the rear, I was using mrf which is ok on a budget, now I'm on Michelin for the past 15 k km, I don't think I'll go for any other tyre after my good experience with Michelin. Coming to lights, illumination is ok but not great, I don't think it will be issue to swap the existing light setup with the light setup of the 2018 cbr 250r, I'm pretty sure they have the same setup, I did change my headlight bulb to Philips xtreme Vision 55/60watts which fits the stock setup without affecting the electricals or anything. Brake pads I use a non abs cbr 250r, and use pulsar 220 brake pads on the rear , quality maybe questionable but I hardly use the rear brakes, my front pads are oem though. I have upgraded my hose to a steel braided line which has improved my feel n bite on the brakes compared to the spongy stock rubber lines, do remember it's a non abs model. I wouldn't touch the suspension, I feel its set up perfectly for our roads, unless your making it a dedicated track bike or something else wouldn't change it if I did, its by a well known professional. I put 220 pads at the rear as a cost cutting measure and me not relying on the rear brakes more than 70-80% of the time. I'm not sure about the diesel oils you've told me or other oils but some people do engine flush with these oils and put the recommended grade of 10w40 which is ideal for the bike. Swapping stock coolant for engine ice is for better cooling of the season, I would try such things only during the summer. Other than that most of my bike is bone stock, used to want to get an exhaust, but as you grow, you realize it's not worth it for the road.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Which brake lines are you using are they any third party lines like HEL, or from any other Indian bikes like duke 200/250?
I am quite keen on upgrading the brakes of my bike.
I too ride a non abs version.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

For the front brakes, You can go with the one coming with Pulsar 220 steel braided lines. It costs around 1,200 (Not sure).

Re: Honda CBR 250R Service Option in Delhi

Thanks for the recommendation, the reviews here are much better, will check it out next week, and share my feedback.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I got mine sourced from Thailand for free, cause my uncle makes race bikes for Suzuki India, soo he does get a lot of bike goodies from there. I'm not sure about the make, but quality seems to be good, I also have added fork adjusters on my bike. Also recently changed my windscreen to one I picked up on alieexpress for around 800 bucks, it was a double bubble but in black. Another update, my bike has completed 40000kms in 3 and a half years, looking to complete half century by this year end. Also guys one thing, why don't we have track days for cbr owners like how ktm has orange day?
