Start off with the foundation bolts and chain slack and see if it helps. I hope it's not too late of a reply though. Good luck.

    Thanks for your response...

    Chain Slack is as per the Spec, and Engine Oil grade is 10W40 (Shell Advance Ultra) for last 4 years....

    Need to check the Mounting bolts, will update here after that fix....

    Note: Chain Sprocket Set was changed before 45 days... After that only I noted this much vibrations...
    Immediately I asked the Service Manager, he said it will take time to settle after few KMS....
    Is Wheel Bearings or Wheel alignment or (Improper chain fixing direction like markings in Tyres, if any) ...The culprit??

      Update:
      I thought the side stand was gone but when I took it to the Honda service center, they noticed that the chassis is bent - due to loading heavy stuff on top of the bike while transporting.

      [ATTACH]256205[/ATTACH]

      The mechanic suggested to heat up that part of the chassis and straighten it a bit. But, I am not sure if that part will be able to sustain the load of the bike in the future. The other solution is a new chassis which will cost Rs 13k (10k part cost + 3k labour) - I may be able to claim insurance and get a new chassis since my insurance covers damages over road transport.

      Has anyone faced a similar issue before? What should I do?
      Regarding chassis, my 2011 model costs around 20k, please confirm a out the price.
      Also, if you plan to clain insurance for the chassis you will get a new chassis number from the company and you have to go through RTO formalities to get a new RC and update all other bike related documents like insurance.

      If done without insurance then the showroom will punch the old number onto the new blank frame.

          Many things can cause vibrations.
          Incorrect valve clearance Tight chain
          Bad wheel and sprocket bearings
          Loose engine mount bolts.

          But since you experiencing this only after the chain sprocket change, it will mostly be due to the wheel/sprocket bearings. Get all the bearings changed and see if things improve.

            Just suggesting, anything that has to do with electricals, you should buy brand new. A new 250r speedometer will cost you around Rs. 5700 and labour around Rs. 800

            ^ this is assuming you have got the crux of the issue fixed. Because if your RR unit is overcharging the battery, it will burn the console motherboard again at some point if not immediately.

            Let me know via DM in case you need help buying a new speedo console.

              I thought the same, because AFAIK, that is the only friction-generating spare that I need to replace, all other spares got replaced already.

              Plan to replace the same with Nearby Mechanic support... (No budget for Honda Service Labour)

                You can get a aftermarket one from mukut brand. No idea about the quality, but its 3000 bucks.

                Chain sprocket price has come down to 1600 rupees.

                Honda has stopped servicing CBR 250R in their normal service centres and service only in BigWing. Parts orders also through BigWing only.

                  Just read about a CBR 250r owner whose engine seized at 150 kmph due to clogged oil strainer. He had to buy a lot of new parts.

                  My query is, how often should we clean that strainer? And is removing the clutch case all thats required?

                      The strainer should be cleaned proactively every two oil changes for better innards. There is a lot left to answer for better clarity. An engine seizure can happen not only due to clogged filter, but also improper oil change interval, less than optimum oil level, crappy oil that's been topped up, so the variables are out there. But, a blocked strainer plays a big part as most of the oil gets filtered through the strainer before it goes the oil filter. It's basically like a Pulsar 220 strainer, you need to remove the clutch case, pull the strainer out right below the oil pump, get it cleaned and slide it back in, that's it.

                      Cheers!

                      Once 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.

                        In one word, don't. You're going to overload the alternator, kill the alternator or worse, you are going to ruin your RR. If you ruin the latter, god save you.

                        Good luck.

                          Here's the difference between the stock handlebar and the RTR200 handlebar.

                          I had to change the clutch cable to that of a P220 and accelerator cable to a Karizma ZMR. The visor has to be trimmed from the sides as you can see the photo.

                          One major downside in my opinion is that there is only one bolt clamping the bar to the fork, which can potentially be dangerous. The stock handle has a protrusion which sits between the 2 "ends" where the top tee pinch bolt is, which stops it from rotating. Some people have drilled a hole in the top tee to fix the additional bolt which is present on the RTR200. More experienced members can probably comment better on this though.

                            I hear the government is planning to roll out E20 fuel from 2024. Can our CBRs take it without issues? The manual states dont use more than 20% ethanol mixed fuel. International versions of cbr250r have no issue with E20 fuel, i have read. Does same apply to our indian version?

                              While most manual recommends E10, which most systems are able to handle, problems may occur for systems not designed to run on E20 fuel.

                              Here's a snippet from the CBR 250R manual

                              If you decide to use a petrol containing
                              alcohol (gasohol), be sure it’s octane rating
                              is at least as high as that recommended by
                              Honda. There are two types of ‘‘gasohol’’:
                              one containing ethanol, and the other
                              containing methanol. Do not use petrol that
                              contains more than 10 % ethanol. Do not use
                              petrol containing methanol (methyl or wood
                              alcohol) that does not also contain
                              cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for
                              methanol. Never use petrol containing more
                              than 5 % methanol, even if it has cosolvents
                              and corrosion inhibitors.
                              The use of petrol containing more than 10 %
                              ethanol (or more than 5 % methanol) may:
                              Damage the painting of the fuel tank.
                              Damage the rubber tubes of the fuel line.
                              Cause corrosion of the fuel tank.
                              Cause poor drivability.
                              Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar
                              station, try to find out if the fuel contains
                              alcohol. If it does, confirm the type and
                              percentage of alcohol used. If you notice
                              any undesirable operating symptoms while
                              using a petrol that contains alcohol, or one
                              that you think contains alcohol, switch to a
                              petrol that you know does not contain
                              alcohol.
                              Hope it helps!
