    I am also suffering from back pain (somewhere between shoulder and neck) from last sunday. I went to mysore and didnt take even a single break on route. Was loving the bike and having fun with her. After 100+ kms i tried bending my left arm to realize that i have soreness in arms and back. Since then i could not get rid of the pain. I did not had any permanent pains before this trip. I travelled close to 400Kms within 36 hours,
    Thanks in advance

    Thing is: If you did 140kms in the city, you'd not face any back pain or stiff neck/arm reason being, you're constantly changing your posture. You have to stop at signals, take turns, rotate your neck to spot dogs/pedestrians on the road, etc etc..

    On a highway, you're usually in just one position.. For even longer rides it is suggested that you conciously keep changing your sitting position, stretch your arms every now and then, look around at the scenery.. basically just avoid settling down into one position.. Try all that on your next trip..

        again confirmed the fairing rattles at >5000 rpm,but as arjun0070 said we need to get the fairing clips replaced after once we open the fairing,I am yet to speak to the ASC about it.

            I'm yet to get my fins fixed,was asked to come today but couldn't find the time...they are asking me to leave the bike for a day at the service centre
            Probably because these guys have no seperate service area for the CBR's (which kinda wants me to shoot a mail to customer service)
            Too many CBR's coming in for service on the same day and being serviced right next to Activas and other Honda bikes.. kindof pisses me off the way they keep the fairings on the floor right behind the guy servicing the Activa.

            Hey btw there is this Honda dealer near Ladyhill behind the stadium. I was there once to get the belt for my dio. Didnt go in but it did look like a showroom and they are the ones supplying the spares from the counter outside. Do you by any chance know if there is a service centre there?

            the most likely answer you will get is "No sir that is not true. We are working as per the Honda service manual(Which they wont show you obviously)"
            I might have a copy of that manual on my pendrive though
            Im gonna be visiting them on the 27th to sell off my dio. If ur gonna visit on the same day lemme know.

                so somehow i got the tyre puncture fixed ,,but even after applying those 4-5 puncture strips ,,, i have lost faith on tyre ,,

                first i took it to 4-5 mechanics they were not able to fix it ,,, but 1 mechanic installed 4-5 strips and got it working ,,,, but the bike handling has changed

                rear Tyre Skids and slips alot
                OR IS IT MY MIND ONLY

                ASked ASC ,as we all know ,,there is no warranty if tyre gets a Cut

                and the rear tyre costs rs5500 ,,,,


                What to do now
                tyre is working FINE ,,but some time it skids ,, now i am riding in fear and always afraid of cornering and speeding

                what should i do ,,, change it to any other tyre Company if yes ,,at what cost ??????????????????????????????

                should i put tube in tyre ???? how would it affect handling and performance ??? and where would i get it ???



                Or any other way to repair it

                        Well, if it has enough storage and protection and looks good on CBR, then i don't think it's much expansive, i bought a Tank bag of Rjays and it cost me 2.9k

                        • Rahul Rods Tewathia - Why's your rear footpeg without the rubbers? Did you rip them apart or replaced with some other ride's pegs

                          Also I see some rust on the footpeg's mount that comes from seat's underneath. Is that a custom fitted?

                          Edit - Looks like you did some mods; I also notice the chain adjuster being changed from stock; Any specific reason?

                                What happened to me? Then what's an R15 doing on C250R thread Is it just for the tires?

                                Question - Who needs a report on FE for over 10K?
