    Cost has increased! I had got both tyres in Feb 2020 for around Rs 6300, including installation.

The Zapper S on the stock is a good tire for what it has to offer, I personally love that tire, cheap and extremely capable once warmed up. I'd also recommend you to scout for more shops as it should be available in shops you'd least expect.

    Good luck.

    Thanks

    Apollo doesn't have our 140/70/17 tire for rear.

    My stock tire is Zapper S, it is very good and it is at 23K Kms now, Still having groove and not worn out completely and has some rough in middle. Punctures it faced after 10K Kms are worrying me now.
    I want to change it before it nears the wear mark. Tyre shop and I predict it will work till 25K, where I set 24K KMS as max usage, before that I've to do the changes as tires will worn very fast when it was nearing the wear groove. Zapper S are easily available, but I need to try a upgrade.

    My Stock MRF has completed 85% of its life.
    Michelin Pilot Street not available due to import restrictions.
    What are other pure Radial Options for CBR 250R?
    I want to switch from Bias type to Pure Radial Type.

    Whether Apollo or Metzler has tyres for our CBR?

    Does anyone here know the part number of cbr150r front brake pads which fit the front caliper of Cbr250 non abs version? I have to get it changed on my bike. I visited the service centre recently and those guys clearly refuse that there is no exact match of pads for the 150 and 250. I have also heard that there are 2 different designs for pads of the 150 so i would like to know the part number of the pads which fit the 250's non abs caliper.
    Also i was thinking of switching to the tapered roller bearings(SKF probably) for the steering. I would like to know as to where i can procure them as i dont know the exact dimensions and cost. I am residing. in Pune.

    Thank You.
    try these if you can't get the original part. these are also good quality aftermarket pads for the cbr250/cbr150(Abs).. i recently switched to nikavi brake pads on my duke and pretty happy with it so far.
    https://www.amazon.in/NIKAVI-Front-D.../dp/B06XGC8W7L
    https://www.amazon.in/NIKAVI-Front-D.../dp/B06XG8ZV4H

    good thing is they are returnable

    getting the bosch pads is also a choice, but availability might be iffy. i know for a fact that one of our cbr user theironhorse99 ended up getting the rear pad despite ordering a front one from bosch.

    Though I don't have the OE part number handy, I can perhaps give you the part number for Bosch Brake pad set F002H241178F8 Brake Pads for Honda CBR 250 Non-ABS Type (Front). You can perhaps mention this number to your nearest parts stockist, or better if you can remove your pads and take it to your nearest parts supplier and show it to them, I am sure they can help procure one. You have to measure the exact dimensions of the top and lower bearing dia/depth and then measure the bearings yourself to procure one. It is 100% doable, provided the right bearing with the right dimensions are sourced. It's a pretty good way to brain storm and do a DIY.

    Good luck, and I hope I helped somewhat with what I can share.

    Cheers!

    Repair done, brake switch working perfectly, just lil bit of polish and everything back to normal. Im sure their is no need to disassemble switch, WD40, kerosene or any other fuel overnight bath will remove dust and carbon deposition completely.
    Youtube Video attached to understand how it is down. No need of complex soldering process as shown in the video.

    Oh wonderful! I am not sure the front brake switch is repairable. It's a small pin type switch that once goes faulty is faulty, there can be exceptions if it's dust accumulation and a dab fo WD40 brings it back to life, but once faulty, it will eventually give up. I'd recommend a replacement of the switch, if the switch is faulty. Good luck.

    The rear brake bulb is 21/5 watt one. The one that glows normally with headlights is 5w and when you press the brake the 21w lights up. Remove the bulb and you will have two filaments, check if any of the filament is bust, if it is bust, replace the bulb.
