The bike turning off when running is probably due to ignition contacts corrosion in the bike, something lubing wont solve. Iirc, someone had the same issue, removed the lockset, opened it and cleaned it out.

We tried many things and just went went with new one.

I'm guessing ur bike is one of those made in Japan or Thailand of the first lot.

Hi All,
Just an update, after 7 years of ownership today I got biggest service bill ever, a whopping Rs. 15,000 in total.

The lock set of my bike started acting on for almost a month, the bike will turn off randomly even when key is "On" position, then I would have to turn off and on again.
I tried everything from WD-40 to graphite as mentioned by @leech. Nothing worked and I have been going to many service centers for fixing it and all of them told that I have to get replacement there's no other way to fix it.

Yesterday when I was driving in around 70 kmph the bike turned off suddenly luckily I was looking at the speedometer at that time and my muscle memory kicked in and grabbed the clutch immediately. That was the moment I realized there's no point of wasting time anymore and went to service center.

The lockset alone costs around 11,000 and there were other minor repairs to be done which was carried out.

I asked the SVC why older models (Pre-2013 models) are so expensive compared to newer ones which is roughly 6,000 , as per the mechanic the older models the lock generally shuts down the fuel pump too apart from turning off the bike. I'm not sure if that's any true.

But this is just a heads up for all the owners make sure your locks are well lubricated (not too much) to avoid such a thing.

Regards,
Mohan

Change disk pad and disk brake fluid.

But i am hearing screeching noise from front disk and the front brakes remain applied all the time as i can see the rear light glowing all the time

what would be the issue?

there are two thing you need to check.. the ms/caliper pistons and the electrical mechanism that activates the light.
a problem in the caliper will not light up the tail light.. simply because the light is not controlled by the piston but by a switch that is activated when you press either of the brake lever. So check the brake levers mechanism and that the related (front and back) wiring/switch is working properly.
Next you need to check the Master cylinder and the caliper, preferably get an over haul done i.e. disassemble, clean, grease caliper pins (you get parts to rebuild the caliper and master cylinder and they aren't expensive. don't fall for the trick of svc to make replace the entire units).
On new brake pads a minor screech is ok which should vanish after using the brakes for a few 100kms. You could also give the rotor a wash with some soapy water
and a green dish wash scotch brite pad.. but do not 'glaze' i.e. do put a smooth shiny finish on it.

Can you post a pic of the caliper with the pads/piston area visible (without pressing on the brakes) so that we can better understand the situation.

Hello everyone. Just thought to share an incident which occurred with me 2 days ago. While I was cruising inside the city within 40 kmph, a girl popped out of nowhere from in front of the bus which I had already crossed more than half of the bus. And in order to save her, I honked and also steered away from her but I was unable to stop in time, hence my side mirror crashed with her resulting in me sliding down with my bike. Luckily I was nowhere even scratched as I had my gloves and helmet on. But I was shocked as it had happened with me for the first time. The people nearby helped me, her and my bike to be kept on the side of the road for safety. Later on I was more shocked to see that the girl was using earphones and listening to songs while crossing a one way road while looking to opp side of the traffic.
Not sharing here to get any sympathy or attention but just curious that how can public be so careless with their lives and also the lives of others just to hear 10 secs of the song?

P.s - mods, please do feel free to put this post elsewhere if this is a wrong thread to discuss. I've posted it here because I am a CBR 250r abs owner and the incident happened on this very bike.

Happens to the best riders. Most pedestrians don't even think of what they're doing. That's why you got to put dual horns. Also it helps to start yelling at them so they know what they've done wrong.

Well there is no point in yelling if the girl acts to faint so she can escape the public harassment and the blame gets on the bikers. However her parents were duly informed about her careless act and her parents had to apologize on her behalf which feels really bad to see our elders apologizing for the mistake their kids made.
