Bro any update on your taper roller bearing mod...?and can i get ur wtsp nmbr..?

Bearing is working great no problem in that,i've inboxed you my number.

Well i cant say because the honda tech who did the work didn't tell me. They just cleaned up the pieces and fixed new one for free.

The stock plugs will last 30k plus kms easily, the manual recommends replacing the plug around 40 to 50k IIRC. The stock plug is iridium and it's an expensive one but a fantastic one too.

Cheers!

Price is justified only if the bike is fully well maintained and is in excellent condition. Check everything ( coolant, engine oil, brake oil, suspension, etc) thoroughly and take a test ride.

Hi everyone, anyone replaced their brake caliper on ABS model? Just wanted to get an idea of what would be the new rear caliper cost. My 2012 bike's rear caliper is eating away my brake pads alarmingly (3-4 k kms) and the rear pads aren't cheap at Rs. 1200 a set.

Surprisingly, it's only the rear brake pad closer to the caliper (or on the outside direction of the wheel) which is taking the brunt and the other one just stays fine. Any suggestions what could be the fix? My FNG suggested to get the caliper replaced as it has already been overhauled once or twice in last few years.

PS: I picked up a spare set of rear brake pads from Honda Amritsar last month while on my Mumbai Leh ride. When it was time to replace the pads, we noted that both new pads are same and can be fitted only on one side of the caliper. As luck would have it, these pads fit the side of caliper which isn't getting used up at all and now I have perfectly okay 3 brake pads, all fitting just one side of caliper. If anyone needs one in mumbai for free, please reach out
a pic for reference. The rusted pad is one of my old pad whic I had just for emergencies

Hello Siva. All sold dear.

Guys...did anyone used cbr 650f conset bearing in our 250=....?

My CBR odo is showing 62,000 kms. Its an ABS model.
Now I am suggested to change rear disc plate/rotor & break pads. Right now going on cash crunch so can't go for OEM parts. I was told that Hornet rear disc plate/rotor & Dominar's break pads could be used instead of OEM parts. This would cost me arnd 1200 rs max.
Need help n suggestions regarding options for OEM parts. Although I would use these parts max for 8-12 months n then I'll replace them with orignal parts.

Hey buddy, if both the rotar and brake pad is right fit, then go for it as both the bikes have good reputation in terms of quality.

Share the part no. and cost after the replacement for future reference for other owners.

You can't use Hornet disc plate on CBR, because i think Hornet never had abs on rear wheel and CBR (ABS MODEL) has abs pulse ring fixed on disc plate.

Update on the 2011 CBR I bought:
The bike has been serviced and the oil leak was arrested using a liquid gasket maker. Headlight fairings were changed and also one more fairing part, the front mudguard also has a crack but it was out of stock at the distributor. I bought all the parts (service and replacement body parts) from a Honda Authorized Parts Dealer and alongside the amount paid to a local mechanic, it was a bargain compared to the ASC.
I have been riding the bike for a couple of months now and here are some problems that I have noticed:
1. Engine temperature gets to 3 bars on the indicators and stays there most of the time. Is this normal or should it be lower? The engine definitely feels hot
2. Gear shifts are slightly clunky, gets into neutral sometimes when getting into 2nd
3. Rear brake is not working that great, new brake pads should fix the issue
The bike has been running Shell Advance 10W40, will switch to a fully synthetic in the next service

Typically, engine temp goes to 3 bars in 5-6 minutes of riding and stays there. It is a problem only if it exceeds 3 bars. Check coolant level and ensure radiator fins aren't damaged. Also, regularly clean the radiator of dirt using a soft brush and be very gentle.

Shell Advance Ultra 10W40 is already a fully synthetic oil. Put in a new oil filter in every oil change.

Hello folks.

I ride a 2015 CBR250R, 49700kms odo. From the past 6-7 days i heard a strange whining noise from the engine when i accelerated the bike. Yesterday morning, i fired her up and i felt like something broke inside the engine, but i continued to ride, within 300 metres, the bike started sounding like a tractor. I suspected that the timing chain has gone loose or some problem with CCT as the bike was running just fine apart from the noise. I just faced hard gear shifts apart from the noise.

I took the bike to a nearby garage and asked the guy to check it out and kept the bike there till the.evening as i had some important work. The mechanic told me that the timing chain has broken and some links of the chain fell inside the crankcase.
The mechanic also told me that he needs to open the entire engine to see other damages, which i feel is not necessary. I think he might be doing it just to earn some extra money.

I have procured the necessary spare parts i.e timing chain, Head cover gasket, head gasket, right crankcase gasket, oil and coolant.

I need to know that are there any chances that the broken pieces of the chain can enter the cylinder block or gearbox? If that is so, then i might consider getting the engine thoroughly checked from a good mechanic.

Also is it really necessary to change both the rubber pads the hold the timing chain together as it is really hard to find these in the SVCs. Also please do share how much would be the cost of getting the above mentioned work done from a good SVC or a good garage. I am located in Pune.

Thanks.

Thanks for the clarification on the engine heat. I have been riding around and rode for 100-150 km in a single stretch multiple times, the temperature does not show more than 3 bars even at high speeds.
Regarding the Oil, I am not using Shell Advance Ultra, I am on Shell Advance AX7 which is a Semi-Synthetic unlike the Advance Ultra.
