Re: Honda CBR 250R

I've got the Apache 200 clip ons installed on my CBR 250ABS by my trusted mechanic.

He's routed the stock clutch cable without any issue. But I'm facing issue with brake hose and accelerator cables. The Brake hose and accelerator cables are re-routed between the right fork pipe and right fairing which cause them to rub badly against the right fairing when I turn the handle to right. Also the brake hose seems to be under lot of tension when I lock my handle.

Can someone who has undergone this mode / @Pavithranmt please confirm your setup or share some clear pictures please. How are the above cables routed in your case?

Many thanks in advance

Re: Honda CBR 250R

It's around Rs 3,150

Re: Honda CBR 250R

How much did it cost u?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I've bought new clipons of Apache 200 from a TVS service center to raise the height of cbr250 handlebar and I plan to DIY.

Can someone / @Pavithranmt please advise whether I can fit the stock bar end weights of cbr250 or do I need bar end weights of Apache 200. Which are better in your experience.

Do I also need Honda CB Shine clutch cable?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

You would need to diagnose where the issue is coming from ? is it just that the battery is getting weak or there is some leakage in electrical circuit.

For battery health, if you have multimeter, you can do a quick check . if you dont have one , i would suggest you to keep one and it doesn't cost much.

1. Connect the multimeter red to positive terminal of battery and the black to negative . Check the voltage and if it is higher than 12.4/12.3 V , you battery should be good. If it less than 12.2 v then battery is starting to get bad and anything below 12 Vis a dead battery
2. Start the engine and the voltage should reach around 13 ( +/- 0.4) . It can even reach 14 if you rev the engine hard. If this works, then the charging system seems to be good.
3. Crank the engine and if the battery does not regain the voltage after cranking higher than 12.4V, the battery is starting is not able to retain charge and need a replacement.

If you have a good battery, then there could be current leakage from faulty component. I had a issue where the fan relay failed and the fan was running even after the ignition is off. The fan relay failure is not very rare

If you are not able to conclude then you might have to take a motorcycle electrician

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hello folks!

I have been facing a issue with my CBR recently. The battery suddenly got discharged two days back. The bike did not crank in the morning.Got it charged from a nearby battery
shop. Fixed it back and the bike started in the first crank.
Everything was good until I noticed battery draining again today as the bike does not start at the first crank and even if it starts the rpm struggles for sometime and then comes at a stable 1.4-1.5k. The engine check light also lights up for 3-4 seconds after the engine has started. After all this drama the bike behaves normally.

This starting issue happed three days back and the battery was down the next morning. I think that the battery will be down tomorrow morning as well. Let’s see.
I have been using the bike regularly and it was not parked for a long time. The battery is 27 months old still in pro-rata warranty.ODO is at 46500 odd kms. Service was done 2 weeks back which included spark plug and fuel filter change apart from regular stuff.

Could anyone shed some light as to what could be the issue?

Thank you!

You can head to your nearest SVC and ask for CBR250R thermostat, they will help you

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Yes, even I think replacing coolant and brake fluid is a wise decision although the mechanic said there was no "need" to. Will do this tomorrow.

I would have started it and ridden it but I was in my hometown just before lockdown and couldn't go back. So, my bike was lying idle in Pune all this while. Thankfully, I had covered it and despite heavy rains, nothing major (rust, especially) happened although it was parked outside.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Yes it was empty.

can any one help me with picture and part no.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

If it's the side stand mount that has been bent, yes you can heat up the part, and mend it well as your mechanic suggested. Unless your bike chassis is bent such that the bike doesn't run true, then you have no choice except to replace the chassis. Yours is just a side stand mount bend, that can be easily mended, provided the job is done well. No need of chassis replacement. Just make sure

Always better to replace the fuel after prolonged halts, especially after this lockdown. Though the fuel smells "petrolish" it might have probably lost its calorific value for it to crank. Hence after you replaced the fuel, the bike fired up. The white smoke that came from the headlight area can be something burning on the exhaust or just water condensation evaporating after a prolonged start. Do replace your brake fluid, radiator coolant and engine oil which I'd strongly recommend. Try to fire up the bike every alternate day if you are not riding helps keeps the engine itself lubricated.

Hope it helps!


Oh my! That's the thermostat coupling. You're supposed to have a spring loaded thermostat inside. Was it empty when you opened it? It means someone when installing the thermostat has forgot to install it on your bike. Yikes! Without which the coolant can and will leak from the thermostat housing and your bike won't heat up faster. A thermostat helps an engine warm up and cool whenever necessary.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hello guys,

Im facing coolant leakage on the cbr,can somebody confirm if any part is missing here,as when opened it was empty.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Update: I took my bike to service center and got another problem inspected. I had got my bike transported via Agarwal Packers & Movers and when I unpacked it, I noticed the bike leans way too much while parking on the side stand.

I thought the side stand was gone but when I took it to the Honda service center, they noticed that the chassis is bent - due to loading heavy stuff on top of the bike while transporting.



The mechanic suggested to heat up that part of the chassis and straighten it a bit. But, I am not sure if that part will be able to sustain the load of the bike in the future. The other solution is a new chassis which will cost Rs 13k (10k part cost + 3k labour) - I may be able to claim insurance and get a new chassis since my insurance covers damages over road transport.

Has anyone faced a similar issue before? What should I do?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

My CBR250R ABS has been lying idle for almost 8 months because of lockdown. The first time I tried to start it, it started in a single crank and shut off soon after. I tried to push start but to no avail. So, I tried to charge the battery. The battery didn't charge anymore. I also checked the fuel - it still has the smell of petrol but not as strong as fresh petrol. There is about 3-3.5 litres petrol in the tank (maybe) because the last bar blinks.

Today, I got a new Amaron battery and tried to crank it 2-3 times. Didn't start.

Then, I drained the old fuel (but a little remained) and filled with 4 litres of fresh petrol. Took 6-7 cranks but the bike started. I kept it revving for about 2 minutes at 3-4k rpm and a burning smell with little bit of white smoke came from the headlight area, so I turned off the engine. The local mechanic said that most likely that happened because of "rich consumption" initially by the FI (i.e. more fuel, less air). Can anyone please clarify if that is actually the case?

After about 10 minutes, I filled up air immediately (rear tyre was at 10 psi and front at 5 psi) and took for a short 3-4 km ride. The cooling system seemed fine because temp bar didn't go above 3. But, I think I will still have to check the coolant and radiator to make sure that they weren't the reason for the white smoke.

"Faridabad Honda" is the name of the showroom. It is in NIT-5.
