remove the bulb and check, its a dual filament bulb. most likely the filament that lights up when you brake is shot.. with only the other filament working you see it light up when you switch on the lights. start of with a simple bulb replacement.Last edited by s1d; 01-13-2021, 07:45 PM. -
Hey Guys, My 2012 CBR brake light not glowing after pressing both front and rear brake pedal, bulb is ok as it is glowing when I switch on parking light or low beam. I'm sure both front and rear brake switch gone. Has anyone gone through such issueLeave a comment:

Getting wheel balancing helps your wheel be dynamically balanced which helps the wheel weight be equal, you can do it yourself if you know how to do it or if you can't it's recommended to do wheel balancing, there are many simple ways to do it also and you can check it online for tutorials. I'd suggest you get your wheel balanced where you replace your tire, yes they charge approx 500 to 600 rupees for balancing. Little expensive, but goes a long way.Originally posted by Geetesh07 View Post

Hi all, I’m also planning to replace the contigos on my ride with either Michelin psr or mrf. I had a noob question...how important is to get wheel balancing done while changing the tyre...One store I checked quoted 900 bucks for installation with wheel balance.Leave a comment:

Now I don't have to worry for next tyre upgrade. Right now my cbr has Michelin pilot street radial n they're working perfectly fine. Now they have run more than 25k n unfortunately same tyres r not available. So thinking to go for Apollo Alpha H1 but have confusion regarding their size.Originally posted by B7ACKTHORN View Post
Absolutely none to worry about. The overall wheel diameter change is not significant enough to cause any trouble to the ABS calibration. In fact the rim size is of 4 inch which can easily accommodate a 150/60 tire.

Now I can buy without any worry.Leave a comment:

edit: i just noticed that you mentioned you have already changed to a 'set' of apollo h1's !! do let us know you feedback after 10k km. they are grippy tires but will suffer from the squaring off that i have mentioned.Leave a comment:

Hello, I was going through older posts about upgrading to 150/60 rear tyres, but saw nothing conclusive about it being a problem with ABS. Could anyone share their experience/ two cents? I just changed to a set of Apollo Alpha H1s and there was no stock size for the rear. Is there anything that I should be mindful of?Leave a comment:

My CBR has done 68k in 8 years of ownership, and i find it pretty good, its still my only bike. I changed the coolant every two years, on my third set of bajaj 220 brake pads for rear, which inexplicably last ~25,000 kms. Switches working fine, and the rr unit seems to be fine since i haven't touched the electricals.
Flip side, my amaron 9ah got worn down due to the pandemic, this despite me having a charger. (Bosch C3 cant charge small AGM batteries well, it goes into trickle mode after a few seconds.) The battery was charged at the battery dealer, and its ok. For now.
Im using Shell Rimula R4 this round, and its pretty ok. No reason it cannot last 4000 kms.

While filling or drain the engine should be warm(around 50℃), what happens is that oil becomes thinner (which is good during drain) and at the same time it circulate in overall engine (which gives exact oil level). Overall this is very tough and tiring to be follow (unless you are on race track).
Easy way is 1. Drain while engine is warm
2. Just fill up to the max.
Note:- exact filling quantity differs from person to person. Every time I service (oil and oil filter) mine I requires 1650-1700ml Oil.Leave a comment:

the manual is absolutely right. the right way to check the engine oil, is to warm up the engine and shut it off and then check the oil after a minute or so. you don't have to wait any longer. and also make sure the bike is upright and flat on the ground and not on the paddock. the reason you might see a higher level is due to the paddock.Originally posted by cbr250abs View Post

Yes. Always make sure the bike is cooled for at least an hour or overnight before topping up.Originally posted by cbr250abs View Post

Manual says only to wait for a couple of minutes which is insufficient to let the oil settle down completely in the sump, this misinformation led me to overfill the oil.Originally posted by B7ACKTHORN View Post
The reason they say to warm up the engine is to make sure the oil is fluid enough to flow back to sump before checking oil. The couple of mins here is to make sure that oil is warm enough to be fluid enough to flow to the bottom. What manual states is absolutely right. If you park the bike to cool down, eventually the oil will settle to the sump and makes life easier. Both ways are pretty accurate.

It has to be left for at least an hour or better overnight to get correct reading in the oil inspection window.Leave a comment:
