        Check if you can get it repainted instead of replaced. Not only will it be much cheaper, but also, spare parts aren't available with most dealerships. When I had to repaint the right fairing, it took 7 days and I think around Rs. 1500. Not sure about the exact price, so check it out.

I have drived the beast in rain, it seems the mud is accumulated in the fins of the radiator(i think it has been splashed by the front wheel, from its rear spin), how should i clean it, i bother whether i may bend the fins if i do a normal clean. How can i avoid that mud accumulation in future. Any additional accessories to be fitted?, like a mud guard or something in similar?
        You could check out the discussion on mudguards just a few pages back.

        You should lubricate the chain every 500 km or 8 days, whichever comes earlier. You can use Motul Chain Lube after cleaning the chain with either diesel or another spray can like Motul Chain Clean. Don't know about the prices, though they are sure to be on the expensive side.

          It'd be cool if it was one red and one blue led, with yellow headlight in between... Guaranteed to be one of a kind. How much did it cost you and does it void any warranties?

            Costs about 450-480 INR for each can, i.e., the Chain clean and chain lube. Totally worth it I say.
            You are not a chemical. So think before you react.

                You need to crouch a little tricky behind the wind shield, adjust RVM's & ride. I was riding the Chitradurga (windmill stretch) last Saturday & this is what I did to keep above 110.

                What system you mean? The entire motorcycle or fan or engine? Ideally speaking, I used to leave the fan ON until it stops automatically. But then, the HMSI engineer adviced me not to do at the risk of draining the battery.

                Hope you know that too much of FE & too low FE are symptoms of engine issues.

                It will still keep raining for next few more days; so are you intending not to take out ?

                Who ever cribbed about FE here

                This is problem when you READ; you need to UNDERSTAND!!! The member you're referring is me & I didn't crib on the FE; pls go over the post once again & UNDERSTAND. I was not happy about the low RANGE, which makes a lot of difference when you ride for long distances, not like a short 200-300 Kms run!!!

                Yeah, mine...sometimes, but that's mostly when downshifting.

                Not really; let me confirm this tonight or tomorrow.

                I'm not a roarer , but, I do have one from Utsav

                Another observation - The fuel bars are mere joke!!! Y'day it didn't even blink once, when I filled, it consumed about 9.83 lts. Ideally speaking, this joker had even blinked when it consumed about 8.x lts in the past. My suggestion is to study the FE of your C250R in different speeds & keep a tab on the trip meter.

                • @ankss, We never worried about the FE mate! Its annoying when you have to worry about searching for fuel stations, Rather than enjoying the ride. Well we wanted bigger tank, Not the FE

                  This is what I was exactly talking about :O :O :O

                          hey aargee please explain the bold part i mean on many times i got close to 58-59kml even 60kmpl on my RTR-EFI but there wasnt any issue with the bike.
                          Its not enough to know how to twist the throttle; you must have judgement to know when and where to do it.

                            • to all xbhpian's .. apologies from my end that i interpreted wrongly ...

                              and its true that you have to keep track on your bike's mileage so that you can refuel your bike timely ... when crusing for long rides !!!
