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.

Doesn't the manual say the opposite? i.e. warm the engine up & then switch off and wait a couple of minutes for the oil to settle before checking.Originally posted by B7ACKTHORN View Post

Always check and top up engine oil level when the engine is cold or when the engine has completely cooled down. This way, all the oil that's up has time to settle down to the sump. The recommended oil level is the one in the second pic, oil level between those two marks. Do not overfill.

For peace of mind, drained ~125ml to make it level just about the top level of inspection window also on cold engine
Lesson learnt: Engine oil level w.r.t inspection window makes sense on a cold engine.Attached FilesLast edited by cbr250abs; 12-11-2020, 02:26 PM.Leave a comment:

Hey guys
Help me! advise please.
Today I changed the engine oil and oil filter myself for the first time for cbr 250 and I guess I did a rookie mistake by overfilling it.
I filled the oil from 2 Motul 10w40 7100 litre bottles.
While filling the oil I got obsessed to fill upto the top marking of oil level window and forgot to check the quantity of oil left in the bottle . Problem is that only 250ml is left in the 2nd bottle which means 1750 ml has been filled in the engine. Manual says to pour 1500 ml while oil and oil filter replacement.
Attached are the pictures while the bike is vertical on a paddock stand, engine is warm. Please advise whether extra oil would damage the engine and I should drain the extra oil.Attached FilesLast edited by cbr250abs; 12-10-2020, 06:02 PM.Leave a comment:

Most of the imports on sale is pre-2020.
With recent tax hikes for imported tires, prices have shot up for old stock and import cycle has slowed down very much

Apart from the availability and price issues, these are the most VFM Pirelli's you can buy right now if your requirement is not looking for cornering or aggressive braking when the front-end is heavily loaded. On the straight lines its pretty much on-par with Diablo Rosso 2's H rated ones!
I've tried them on the new 2020 BS6 Mojo's and I can say they do the job well.Last edited by kiran2508; 12-07-2020, 01:46 AM.Leave a comment:

Yes. Made in Indonesia ones, wonderful set of tires, very confident inspiring wet grip, and dry grips are exceptionally good.Originally posted by rahulpillai View Post

Has anyone used the Pirelli Angel CTs here? How has the experience been? I have Michelin PSR installed right now, but would like to go for something cheaper if the performance is similar. A bulk of my riding is in the city with occasional highway/interstate rides.Leave a comment:

Honda Radiator Liquid is the best liquid, you can use Engine Ice or Motul MotoCool Expert. I personally use the Honda Radiator Liquid liquid and if you can't get any of the liquids, get Yamaha R15 coolant, best.Originally posted by Rethin View Post

Thx a lot guys. Better to stick on Motul.Originally posted by B7ACKTHORN View Post
From my personal experience, LiquiMoly doesn't make a drastic difference and it isn't worth the high price it demands. What matters is periodic lubrication interval and proper slack of the required wear and tear components makes a dramatic difference in smoothness and ride quality.

Hello guys. Where's a good place I can take the bike for servicing in Kochi? I'm home thanks to COVID and I've heard that the showroom mechs are not very good.Leave a comment:

If it's any consolation, the same thing happened with me too. And, not long after I did an oil and oil filter change. The mechanic filled in 1.4L and after maybe 200-250 kms of riding, the oil level was down to the lower level mark. So, I topped up with an extra 100 ml to bring it back to the upper level mark. I found the explanation in the service manual which says engine oil capacity at draining should be 1.4L, on oil filter change should be 1.5L and at disassembly should be 1.6L.Originally posted by cbr250abs View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Honda CBR 250R
[MENTION=26407]aargee[/MENTION], thanks for sharing your views. But the strange part is that ~250ml of oil vanished into thin air within last 200kms only whereas last Rimula oil was drained after ~3000 km without any drop in oil level.Originally posted by aargee View PostLeave a comment:
