        At any decent Biking accessories shop. Quite a few are even available online. RAM mounts are available in Amazon as well as Via Terra website, apart from that quite a few helmet/riding gear shops too keep them in stock.

          Ok guys will be asking again, anybody over here has installed a slipper clutch for our ceebers? I have a few mods in mind by this year end, I know I will get some flak with some of the mods, not going to go forward with it without more research.
          1)ecu remap- been having this in mind for ages, was going to get my ecu tuned and sourced from a trustworthy knowledge n tuner from Thailand, keeping this mod for the year end types.
          2) exhaust system - slip on for the road with a DB killer or a full system for the track, or maybe a stainless steel header with the stock end can to maintain the stock sound(yet to decide), the full system I will probably keep for the track, honestly this is not decided but may go forward with it after 50000kms, I know engine reliability will go down but I'm prepared to face that
          3)slipper clutch for smoother downshifts. Wonder why nobody has done or spoken of this
          4) cbr 300r cam replacement - this is a common mod in Thailand for the 250 once again it will be done only after more research and some testing and also maybe a racing cam if I decide make the bike a track tool.
          5)upgrading the brake setup - since my bike is non abs, braking is left a bit to be desired, I am planning to put a bigger caliper or disc or both depending on what's possible for better braking capabilities with increased power.
          Please don't go on a rant of losing reliability, I know the risks and I'm willing to take it, I have a factory where we work on Suzuki and yamaha and other race bikes and mods, soo it's something we'll within my capabilities.

              Well, sounds like you have made up your mind. Do let us know how the mods pan out, and what is the performance increase.

                Every time prior riding, the point is that servicing at SVC's allow you to claim damages in case they mess up. But otherwise like I have always stressed, it is best that manufacturer's recommendations and OEM parts and services are used, thus pending any error from your side, in case of failure it is possible to claim against the company. Else while aftermarket can work well or not, in case of failure it is a total loss. So depends on the risk you are willing to take, I would be adverse in fiddling around a two wheeler which can crash in case of a major failure.

                  I'll just touch upon it briefly.

                  Slipper clutch mod can be done for the CBR 250R, and the after market parts are available online, but how reliable the setup is best left to the user experience, definitely some excavation to be done over this. You have PowerTronics PB ECU online, the same one that does manufactures for the Duke 390, not much reviews, but you definitely have installation videos and they being a really active community





                  With regards to exhaust, you have full system, and you have slip-ons. A full system DOES need to be calibrated to the fueling that's on board. In this case, PowerTronics can help you choose the right map for your exhaust, and if you have an air filter mod.

                  Cam replacement, is free will. Anything mechanical needs reliable documented user experience, coupled with the parts availability, so I'll leave that homework to you.

                  Yes, CBRs do have steel braided lines from HEL, Galfter, Spiegler or you can try using Pulsar 200 NS and Pulsar 220 steel braided lines for interchangeability. Do consider the length.

                  No. The rear brake pad of the Dominar cannot be used on the CBR 250R. Though, I'd suggest you try your luck with the Hornet's rear disc caliper pads. They are both Nissin and have 220 mm rotors at the rear.

                      Yes. I am talking about the ABS, and rear ones. The Hornet Dual Disc variant uses NISSIN rear Caliper, and also both are 220 mm disc mm, so the rear pad "might" be a fit, irrespective of ABS or not.

                        Thank you but I'm. Opting away from powertronics based on a experience of a friend who owns a cbr and was using the race dynamics ecu, it wasn't very good in terms of reliability.i have a Thai tuner friend from Thailand who's very well versed in ecus and mods for many bikes. Coming to the exhaust, I might end up sticking to the stock exhaust if I'm not happy with the sound, note for road use I already have ready to make dB killers for any end can I put on. I might end up putting a stainless steel header but with the stock can to keep the sound in check, just going to try. I might just make my bike a dedicated track bike depending on circumstances. Cam replacement as you've said I'm going to do some research only and go forward with it. I already am using steel braided brake lines in the front , I was talking about putting bigger calipers or discs if I increase the power to a decent level, correct fitment is not a problem, we basically mounted Brembo twin pot calipers for a race spec gixxer soo it's not a big issue and make my own discs as well. I recently saw a guy who's done over a lakh with a full system and ecu which he's been using for years soo that sorta made want and try and see how far we can stretch the reliability obviously being risky will go forward with it. Will be looking at a slipper clutch as well, fitting is again not a problem. Will keep you guys updated once I do my first mod, which will probably be swapping out my stock ecu, and see how the bike holds up with a step by step modification process. We'll I'm not going to be spending much money as I'm sourcing my parts from Thailand from a trusted source and will keep y'all updated on the performance change and change in feel of the bike. You could say go for a bigger bike instead of spending the money on mods, I might do that actually , make my ceeber a track tool and go in for a r3 for road use.

                          Hello members, recently I have noticed a wierd problem with my CBR, when the bike is cold stared, initially the engine RPM drops slightly below 1500 and then gradually rises to 2000 RPM. It takes around 10-15s to reach 2000 RPM. During that period if I try to open throttle, then the bike stalls and RPM rise to throttle input is not linear rather it feels as if the bike is hesitating to raise the engine RPM. Please note that this problem happens only during a cold start and within the time that the bike takes to reach 2000 RPM. This behaviour is weird because initially when everything was OK, even after a cold start the RPM would suddenly rise to 2000 without any delay and there was no hesitation to throttle input.

                          Is there any problem with the FI sensors or any problem with injectors or its just normal behaviour?? Because for me this behaviour is abnormal. Has anyone experienced this before?? The bike is just 14months old.

                          As I have suggested earlier, this problem is related to IAC valve, I tried to replace that IACV. My CBR was suffering from exactly same problem and hence I ordered an IACV set from Honda which costs INR 4134. In between I did read about IACV and there are multiple car guys on different forums who cleaned and reinstalled and their rough idling issue resolved. I tried to give a shot. After cleaning and reassembly, it is working line new. Saved my 4134 INR.

                          I would suggest you to get your bike to service center and get this done.

                          The IACV is bolted with two Torx bolts which need an special tool to open. Once out, clean it thoroughly with any carburettor cleaner. There are two vents on the wall of throttle body - one towards airbox side and another towards inlet valves. You have to clean those vents. I sprayed cleaner directly into them. The IACV works when butterfly valve is in closed status. It is a kind of bypass air route when butterfly valve is closed. It sucks air from the one vent which is towards airbox side and throws up towards inlets valves. In my case, both the vents were quite dirty and full of carbon deposits.

                            Should I do it immediately or wait for the next service which is in September 1st week?? If I wait, will it harm the engine in any way or the valve would be irreparable by then??

                              You may wait till next service. It won't do any harm - just irritates at cold start!
