When was your fuel tank cleaned? When was your fuel filter replaced? How good is your spark plug?Originally posted by Nanda SS View Post

VJOnce upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
The girl said, 'NO!'
And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

When was your fuel tank cleaned? No, it is not cleaned till now.... (Noted)Originally posted by B7ACKTHORN View Post
When was your fuel filter replaced? It's stock.... (Noted)
How good is your spark plug? Changed 2K kms before at SVC, but not an Iridium one (NGK- Honda Red Colour pack, Charged 220/- approx.).Last edited by Nanda SS; 09-29-2022, 01:28 PM.Comment

Clean and replace the above mention and replace the spark plug to the OE Iridum one. The CBR comes with Iridium from factory, using a cheap non recommended spark plug can reduce spark efficiency and also cause starting trouble.Clean the fuel tank, replace fuel filter in the process and replace the spark plug to the recommended OE one. Good luck.Originally posted by Nanda SS View Post

Why opted for regular spark plug in stead of NGK Iridium ? It is a part which lasts for nothing less than 40,000 kms. So always go for OEM recommended. Also, it hardly costs 900 rupees and the labour charge for it would be same as regular Spark plug.
IMO, cleaning fuel tank won't be necessary unless you can see lots of rust (use a flashlight or mobile flash when fuel tank has less fuel to see whether there is lots of rust or not. Some rust is normal)
Fuel filter is a part which has no mention of in the manual and the ASC is never bothered to check/replace it. Hardly costs 300 rupees but is good to replace it every 20,000 kms or so. Although I'm sure the reason for the issue you facing is mostly due to the spark plug alone.Comment

Understood bro ... I will replace those Sparkplug and Fuel Filter ASAP... But I saw the Spark plug Part no. it does match with Manual... SO I thought it doesn't do any difference.Originally posted by B7ACKTHORN View Post
Anyway thanks for the light....Comment

Sure bro, I accept my ignorance.... I will replace it to iridium one ASAP.... Also the Fuel Filter... Thanks for the response....Originally posted by Ratan Prabhu View PostComment

How many owners have changed the front or back brake rotors? At how many kms? What was the price?Comment
-
I haven't changed yet. But the front disc for C-ABS variant costs around 4,000. Don't know about the rear one. Maybe little lesser~ 3000Originally posted by leech View Post
If brake pads are replaced on time before the metal touches the disc, there won't be any major scratches. So I believe the disc may never require a replacement in such cases.
Should regularly check for brake pad life specially after crossing 7,000 kms with the same brake pads.Comment

Brothers i want to learn something about the clutch : if the clutch needs to get changed, suppose at 1 lakh kms, do we need to change the clutch bell/housing/outer cover as well?Comment
-
1 lakh is good enough KMs to warrant for a clutch housing replacement. Clutch bell, clutch and pressure plate, along with clutch spring replacement is the best bet for proper power delivery.Originally posted by leech View Post

Suggestion needed for Tyres
Previously installed Apollo Alpha H1 has completed 20k kms & new set of tyres r to be installed. CBR has run 78,500 kms.
Although I m happy with Apollo's performance but they were not stock size. So bike's ave dropped to 34-35 from 37-39 on highways. Also felt bike feels little bit heavier while turning. But except these, tyres performed very well- very few punctures, awesome grip on dry-wet surface, awesome in cornering.
But this time I want to use stock tyres. Problem is that stock size tyres have limited options. So want suggestions for tyres.

I recently got the MRF Zappers in stock size - Zapper FY (front) and Zapper S1 (rear), for Rs 5750 including fitting charges. I have ridden a little above 400 kms but my experience so far has been very good. I had the MRF Masseters before this, in stock size and the Zappers feel very similar to the Masseters for regular commutes and sport touring. Grip is good and inspires confidence around corners. Straight line stability under hard braking is also commendable.Originally posted by pinkesh2703 View Post

The CBR came with Cotinental Slippigos and MRF Zapper series from the factory. The Continental were the mediocre of the lot, they crack soon, give away over gravel easily. Then came the MRF Zappers ( mine came with Zappers from factory). The Zappers had decent wet grip, but once they were warmed up and up to temperature, they complemented the bike's handling very, very well. Grip, overall rounded, were good enough, both on wet and dry and these are extremely cost effective when compared to Apollo and the likes, though they being radial and this being bias ply, for city and touring, the Zappers are very wise choice.Originally posted by siddhant View Post

Folks, long time lurker here. I am looking for stop gap replacement for RE STD 350 1980 make. I have shortlisted the CBR-250R.
I am in due process to purchase a used CBR250R. I have shortlisted two vehicles. 2017 make C-ABS done 60k kms(asking price 1Lac) and 2011 make C-ABS done 33k kms(asking price 70k).
Have test ridden both and both seem to be mechanically sound. However will take a longer ride before finalizing the deal.
I do not want to spend much on bike as of now (max budget 80k not beyond) and inclined towards the 2011 model as I can use the 30k saved in maintenance of the bike.
What are your opinions about the same?
Thanks in advance."its not what you ride matters,but how do you ride matters..."Comment
