Re: Honda CBR 250R

If I recall correctly, then yes, the front does cost 2100 and the rear at 1250. Not sure about the price drop but there is an alternative to CBR 250R ABS rear pads. The Hornet's ABS rear pads are a direct fit and cost somewhere around 700-900 range.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

So, you've crossed 6k more after the first tipover, without any difference in handling? A tipover can sometimes mildly misalign the front fork and handlebar, if this happens you will see the front wheel in one direction and the handlebar in a different direction which can sometime cause a fork to twist or bend in a certain direction. Remember, if a handlebar in a bike twists it will bend something that's connected to to it and all handlebars are connected to the forks and they get twisted or bent.

Start off by getting your.
Forks checked, both forks check them individually for bends.
Check your tire pressure, and tire wear condition. Worn tire and wobbles are easy.
Check your T stem for trueness, a bent T stem would mean crappy handling.

Keep your observations posted.

Reducing prices won't mean, they reduce the price of the parts that are stocked with the dealers all over. They will be sold at the price that's printed on the packaging and what not. Perhaps, once certain parts are exhausted, Honda can and or might consider a price revision, but again, let's hear it from Honda officially. Till then, it's the same bet, for the same spares.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Thank you for the tip buddy, just got the rear OEM ones replaced. I'll keep this in mind next time around.


I agree, will probably go for the EBC although the stock performed good and lasted well for 17k+ KM's now.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Did you got the hornet brake pads in Honda showroom?

I also own a CBR250R 2012 model and rear brake pads are almost worn out.

Re: Honda CBR 250R


I got the stock CBR OEMs brake pads for rear. Didn't knew about Hornet brake pads until today. Will probably try the alternative brake pads next time. Apologies for the confusion, if any

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Bought 15 Days ago on 15 march'19

Total bill around 3200/-




While i was changing brake pads, I cleaned caliper pistons and then proceeded to push them back to install fresh brake pads, Front 3 pistons easily got pushed inside while rear was extremely difficult. (I had to use a lot of tools to push it bit by bit. Took 15 minutes to push back). Rear brake bite is still not good. While front is excellent as usual. Is this normal or should i get brake caliper overhauled?

Bike is almost 4 years old with 33,700KMs

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Yes, get your brake caliper re-bled, preferably reverse bleed the system. Remove fluid completely from the rear brake system, and then slowly re-fill the system making sure air is removed out of the line simultaneously. Reverse bleeding eliminates any fault by removing air completely from the system.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Do let me know alternatives of stock breakpads if you find them.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Sure buddy, I'm not necessarily looking for alternatives at lower price at the cost of compromising the performance. I'll be upgrading to EBC pads for front this month and stock rear will last a year more so lot of time to look for upgrading alternatives for rear. Will look for reviews of Hornet rear pads as someone suggested or consider EBC rear pads as well which are sadly crazy expensive compared to stock

Re: Honda CBR 250R

And is this applicable for the rear brake pad also...?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hi.
Unfortunately a replacement for the rear abs ones are yet to be found. Sorry.

Hope it helps.
Cheers [emoji111]

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Yes, the Honda Hornet's front pad are a direct swap, the reason they're cheaper is because they aren't semi-sintered as the CBR ones, the CBR ABS brake pads are expensive owing to them being a semi-sintered setup. The non ABS rear caliper can use Pulsar 220 brake pads. For the rear though, for the CBR, I think you can check the compatibility by checking both the CBR's and Hornet's rear pad side by side. If the dimensions are the same then, we've found a cheaper alternate to the rear too. Note, both have 220 mm rotors, so the caliper "just" can be the same.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hi, I need a help here.

My current ODO is 31k kms

Recently I have changed the Oil seals (both), Cone set and front bearing.

On Saturday I have changed both the tyres from Revz to Masseter.

I felt a stiff handlebar from the moment I changed The tyres. Seems like tyre showroom guys messed with the alignment so I realigned with a local mechanic.

But still I feel a little stiffness at times. what could be the problem, is it because of the round profile of the tyres? or will there be any other problem I should look out.
Thanks.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I think the Masseter are radial tires, when you switch from normal tubeless to radials you will feel bit stiffness in handling at least that was my earlier experience. One thing you can check is wheel balancing, just to make sure the tire is not carrying extra weight on one part of tire.

Regards,
Mohan

Re: Honda CBR 250R


Thank you so much Sir. Will the stiffness reduce over the time?
