That's great. The FC and FC1 series are radials that are used in the Dukes and are an equally good counterpart to Zoom Rad and Metz, Apollo Alpha and what not. These have great grip, once they are warmed up, on part with MPSRs or if not even slightly better when compared to the Michelins. Do keep your observations posted though, how she handles. Sad part is when they use tire reamer tools to undo/install the tire, this sort of eye sore are eventually an end result, which they shouldn't do.

Usually tires are installed on tire installation machines that do the job of both installation and uninstallation of the tire, they are fast and easy. Most don't have these machine and use tire reamer tools and the result is spoilt edges and paint chipping. Do we have a chance! Sigh!

Handling is same as the old tyre. No increase or decrease in flickability. Grip is simply superb though. I had to brake hard a couple of times and braking effectiveness has increased significantly. Rear tyre is MRF masseter 140/70 R17.

Bought myself a 2017 model cbr 250 abs repsol edition 2 weeks back. For a person who is coming from a non abs cbr the breaks are phenomenal

I am using Motul 20w Fork Oil. When compared to the stock 10w, front end is much, much better and the dive is very much controlled and adequately stiff, and if I am not wrong, Aman, [MENTION=51754]theironhorse99[/MENTION] uses it too if I remember correctly.

I am changing as well, my right oil seal started leaking, I thought I would I change both plus the oil for better front end feel. I have also purchased liqui moly 10w40 plus fuel pump cleaning solution and engine flush of the same. Also made a purchase for engine ice.

Do keep your observations regarding Liqui Moly posted. This brand seems to be striking it right off the bat and high.

Yes vj, heard the same I would like to also add I've installed HEL brake lines for the front and in the process of getting ebc non abs brake pads for the front and back. I got abs pads by mistake which are direct fit with nissin brake calipers as mine are bybre non abs, got the wrong part and waiting on a replacement for the same. As for the hel brake line it's made a immediate difference in the bite, and I'm quite pleased with the stopping power. The reason for not installing in the back also is because under hard braking the rear may lock up may lead to loss of control. Atleast with the front I can use the rear to slide. But will update on the same once I get the ebc pads and get them installed and see what sort of difference they make. Also once I change the oil and do the engine flush and fuel pump cleaning willl also update and also share my experience with engine ice.

Great, DW. Do you mind sharing the CBR 250R ABS brake pad part numbers from EBC, just in case, so that it stays in record here. I would also love to see the pictures of the EBC pads you bought, are those SS or FS HH pads of EBC?

Cheers!

Galfer with the rotors and pads or just the pads? Are you using the non or the ABS one. Would love to hear some thoughts on how the Galfer is.
