Hello guys.
I too got my silver CBR 250 ABS in 2011. Here is my 1L km./10 Year ownership review of the machine - https://bit.ly/3wQ5xxR
I have been extremely happy with the performance. The CBR has been amazing to ride and manage.
Comparing this with recent experience with the Mahindra Mojo, I have even more respect for the CBR 250 now.

This one haunts me for past 6 months. I'm doing regular service with Didar motors chennai, spares availability was not much big problem till date. After discontinuation of BS4 model, stocks problem will emerge even in big dealerships after 1 year from date of discontinuation.Originally posted by B7ACKTHORN View Post
Mind you, the disappointment haunts back with spares availability. Though available, the TAT at which they can be available when you need the most can be a pain in the derriere. Do your homework well, make sure you can source parts, find a suitable dealer where you can afford to purchase parts with minimal downturn,is key to a happy ownership.
Good luck.
Cheers!

Based on recent developments, I may go for e-bike for my next upgrade (may be in 3 years). Disappointing thing is it may not go as far I go with this one. But time will sort that problem too.

A wonderful bike and still aged pretty gracefully and if not the best and reliable 250s out there. Considering the bike has been inspected by a mechanic thoroughly and with the bike being mechanically sound, especially engine compression, tires and battery, chain sprocket, I'd recommend you to think twice before purchasing the vehicle.

get the bike checked out by a good mechanic. price seems reasonable if all checks out good.Originally posted by optiprime View Post
firget 5 years down the line, parts availability now itself is a pain.. seen a few cbr owners wait for weeks/months for certain parts. Oil filter/Air filter should be easy to obtain (many use the fz filter iirc and rear brake pads for non abs is same as the p220/ktm), but certain parts do take a long time to procure. for example a friend and fellow xbhp member had to wait for a few weeks to get the water pump seal, turns out the seal was 1900rs while the entire clutch case cover with seal preinstalled is 2700rs.. he ended up replacing the clutch cover itself after waiting close to a month.. same guy had to wait a month or so for new stator coil.. the user is onlinesatish and another guy almost 6 months for a engine rebuild.. all this is in hyderabad (similar situation in obtaining parts in chennai aswell).Leave a comment:

Yes, seems genuine to me. 32,000 km in 4+ years is standard usage. If engine oil & oil filter replaced regularly, no need to worry. Owing to the distance run, I think the following must have been replaced at least once - air filter, brake fluid, coolant, fork oil, brake pads & both tyres. Also, the chain sprocket - if not, go ahead and replace it yourself.Originally posted by optiprime View Post
If this is the case and hasn't met with an accident, it's a great purchase for 1 lac. Don't worry about it being outdated and such. Even in 2021, there is no equivalent in terms of engine refinement & suspension - the most important factors contributing to ride quality. TFT screen, gear indicator and those fancy things are good to have but not very important.Leave a comment:

As you have guessed, it can probably be a dirty air filter or a bad oil, or wrong grade oil especially with a new clutch plate. Wrong grade oil will probably make the clutch slip when clutch is demanded more in certain situations. Also, inspect that your wheels are free and not binding due to brake pressure.Originally posted by pinkesh2703 View Post
Hope it helps!

I had clutch plate replaced before 5-6 months ago as I took my cbr to hevay offroad n burned down the clutch. So I knew how does it feel when clutch plates have problems.Originally posted by s1d View Post
This power drop isn't same as it. But when I have climb then it loses for sometime.
I guess I've to check the air filter.Leave a comment:

I was riding in hilly area yesterday. I felt bike was losing power while climbing. Although power loss wasn't that big but one could feel while acceptation.
Would air filter be the reason for it ?Leave a comment:

Yes, Chain matters. At last service in 18K I've replaced chain and sprocket, it was butter smooth after that service. Adjusting chain at every 2.5-3K mark and lubing at 500 Kms does good work in maintaining smoothness in shifts.Originally posted by pinkesh2703 View Post

I'm having new LED headlamps in my 2018 model bike, I don't like the reach of high beam, it's pretty average, and covers less distance only. Can have good control till 80 in highways, 60-70 in state roads.Originally posted by siddhant View Post
In well lit conditions with high masts at highways 100+ is possible.
I don't have any aux lights, using in stock lights only.Leave a comment:
