Got it guys! Don't know how i missed the blown fuse lst time! Replaced it and everything came back on! Sigh! Sorry for the trouble guys. I had to double-check before posting. Anyways thanks a lot for suggestions buddies! Ride safe!

Also periodically tighten the battery lead bolts. Mine got loose last month. Everything worked except starter motor. Whenever I tried to start I heard a "chick" noise and the console turned off.

Turned out the negative bolt was not tight enough.

Observe the issue for a week. Frequent blown fuses would mean, we have a short somewhere. Hoping all stays good. Ride safe.

Cheers!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Is it a wise decision to buy a 6 years old CBR250R C-ABS that is only 6600 KMS ridden for 80K.
My main concern is about availability of parts and service.

Nobody who cares about the bike he owns would do only 6000 Kms in 6 years. It should be 18,000 kms atleast. Thoroughly check the bike at a trusted mechanic or Honda SVC.

Check the service records for the bike!

I believe they might have back clocked the odo reading or changed the speedo console!

Also check the tire! Is it the stock tire or they have changed it! Also check for the wear of tires! Apart from that, check the sprocket condition and the brake pads! A less used bike would not have these parts worn out!

My Ninja 250 had stock IRC tires with very lot of grip left! No one would buy IRC tire which costs 10k each to sell a bike [emoji28]

It had clocked just 10k on the odo when i took ownership!!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I have done all the cross checks.. Its of an NRI. Totally ridden 6600. Now my question is whether should I go for a 6 years old bike though its asking price is 80K?

Check if petrol tank is rusted/contaminated with water. Ride the bike hard and see if there is any jerks in acceleration.

Then it doesnt really matter! You can go for it! Try to negotiate a little more. You will have to change the tires. Service the bike. When was the last oil change done? I hope you had a test ride of the bike. Try to test ride a couple of more CBRs (used bikes) and compare your experience with this bike and other CBRs! You will get to know the condition!
[MENTION=32641]shv18[/MENTION] might be a perfect person to give suggestions on how to take care of the beauty with utmost care and love!!

Check this post and yeah, you will have all the information in detail!

The story so far.. My Honda CBR 250R

Re: Honda CBR 250R

5 years and 25k kms update ! Posting after a long long time

I took it off a guy last September , with the odo at a little less than 10k. I have completed around 15k kms in 10 months at present.

Engine still running butter smooth, absolute gem. One fine morning last month, the bike gave up in the middle of nowhere. Meter would come on, but it wont start, fuses all good and every wire looked fine, so it had to be the battery. Push started it alone(the easiest bike to push start that I have ever come across) and went home. After checking voltage, it was evident that the battery wasn't getting charged while running. So it has to be the alternator or magnetic coil or whatever it is called. Changed it, changed the battery too along as it was still stock and was showing its age. Changed the cone-set as well, but it has gone kaput in less than a month again. Maybe its time for tapered bearings thanks to non-existent Bangalore roads. Till date, I have used only Honda Throttle oil, but will change to Shell FS in the next service. I do not have any other complaints. Have changed coolant, brake oil, fork oil, washers and bushes for the brake calipers, greasing the swing-arm bush etc in the last service as it was a 5 year old motorcycle and it always good to stay clean and run that way. Gives me around 32-35kmpl in Bangalore traffic which I am really happy about. Runs on Street radials and have been only touched by Karthik at Tansi Honda

Some pics to accompany as well

I took it off a friend last September , with the odo at a little less than 10k. he was a traveler and had little to no time to run it. I somehow made him to part ways with it and I have completed around 15k kms in 10 months at present.

One quick question! How many bikes in your garage? [emoji28]

Well officially at the moment, only ONE

. The covered one is an R3, which happens to be a friends who travel abroad always and he gives it to me to use it. Ninja is sold, scooter is still there. A 6 year old Yamaha Ray which still runs strong, but to me, it doesn't qualify as a bike

That I did.. acceleration was smooth and linear.. no jerks upto 70 kmph as I could not do more because of traffic.
