Sorry but I have no clue about it.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Japanese bikes for the most bikes are reliable with little maintenance and all that is they ask for. Though, they are machines in the end, anything that can go wrong, can go wrong. We're living in a time where extracting value for every single rupee we spend, which does see some deterioration in quality, but for the most part, yes they can and will go even further than that, provided they are taken care of i.e. engine oil, coolant level, all the basic things taken care of.

CBR will give you 30 to 32ish at that speeds. The key to extracting best fuel efficiency from the CBR is making sure the revs are low and the speeds are high. Unnecessary wrings of the throttle will reduce fuel efficiency, meaning, revving too much for short bursts, where you know a red light or speed hump is imminent, these little things add up to overall improved figure

The CBR for the most part is vibe free, but some vibes do creep in post the 7k range and then it's smooth again. Single cylinder engines do vibe at a particular RPM that's a given. Heck, even the twin cylinder R3 vibes at the same RPM as the CBR, how's that for an opener!

You can tour with pillion and saddle bags, provided the right saddlebag is used secured tightly. Though too heavy a person might find it difficult, the leaner the person, the better it is with a saddlebag. The bike can do anything, everything, as long as you're able to do it.

The bike won't be stopped anytime soon, at least with the current scenario and Honda launching the BS IV and what not Honda has no intention to cease production for the CBR 250R. Parts are easily available, though some dealers don't stock. Your serviceability also depends on the showroom or the subdealer you purchase your vehicle from. Always go for the main dealer and not the subdealer, as they stock parts.

Hope it helps!

Cheers!

Thanks alot bro [emoji4]

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Thanks alot bro. Regarding the mileage part, everyday my bike runs almost 35kms. My route is through the city bypass and the speeds mostly vary from 45-60. I am very gentle with the throttle with no sudden acceleration. I like to maintain the correct speed in the correct gear(keeping these things in mind I expect 30kmpl from the cbr). Also if I tour with pillion(which is a rare scenario like say once a year) then my cruising speed would reduce to 80-100 considering the load I'm carrying so that I don't stress the bike much [emoji4]

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I tour with my wife on cbr250. No issues at all.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Wow that's great. Such reviews are pushing me more towards buying this beast.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I went on a 300KM ride on my CBR last week. Took her out for a long ride after such a long time. Loved every moment. But there seem to be a small problem. Everytime i accelerated from 3000RPM to 4000RPM in high gear. (range in which there are minor vibes in visor) i could hear krrrrrr type of sound. Probably created by chain slapping the swing arm. I checked drive chain for slack and it seems okay. I have previously lost my chain slider 3 times, so checked it as well, it was in its place but when i pulled it a bit, it seems worn out. Check the photos yourself.






I want to know if the chain slider is really worn out or the sound is from somewhere else?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hello all,
I am plannig to buy a used cbr250r abs , 2016 model.
Its odo reads 21k kms.

How much should be the reasonable price of this bike.?
The owner is asking for 1.10lac and the insurance has been expired a year ago.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hi,

The pricing seems to be fine but how you're planning to buy this bike ? if its insurance is expired you cannot ride it and without changing RC to your name you cannot buy insurance too.
Insurance is a basic thing for a bike not sure what else owner might have cut corners on, its better to skip it.

Regards,
Mohan.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I purchased my cbr on march 2k19. When I rode the bike in rain, I've noticed that water seeps into the underside of rear seat. Is this normal in a cbr or is there anyway to prevent it? I got my documents wet during that ride.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Insurance can be procured on same registration detail. Get it online.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Small update, my bike has done 52500kms to date, clutch set n bell changed once eventho it had about 15-20% life but for peace of mind, bike very smooth, I think I've realized motul oil is more suited to my riding. I have also changed my Michelin pilot street radials to again the same because they lasted about 25000kms and lost beading towards the end but still had life. I have now Hel brake lines for the front as I'm a 2014 non abs model and very soon to ebc pads. Maybe the rear as well but don't use rear too muchm to be honest. I have some grand mods that I will discuss later, may make a semi dedicated track bike and maybe get another ride for tours n occasional commutes. I'm not sure or just may leave it a bit stock aswell.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I can take the insurance directly on my name before going for transfer process of RTO ?
or
do i have to first buy the insurance on previous owners name and then trasfer it on my name after the RTO process is done ?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

As per rto rules, you must have a valid insurance along with other required documents at the time of applying for ownership transfer. Thus, you need to get insurance on current ownership details which is mentioned in RC book.

Log in into any online insurance portal i.e. policybazaar etc. Fill the vehicle detail and choose insurance accordingly. Pay the premium online and get a print of insurance copy. All set!
