Excellent that spare parts are arriving. I visited the Kandivali one (Om Sai Honda). They have recently shifted to a new place and have a separate CBR bay as well. They were quick to get my problem rectified. Though they only loosened the front screw in between the handle bars. Will probably take it again there to get my forks corrected as I feel the problem is still there though much lesser now . I asked about shims and they said my shims don't need replacement.

How Do I know if I need it replaced?



Bah! I lost all my confidence in the tyre yesterday. First was before the Dadar bridge which was wet with some other stuff (decaying vegetables I think) and the bike didn't go in a straight line (kept fish tailing) for over 50 meters. Was a harrowing experience that. Then later in the evening, it had started to rain as well and I had ridden 12 kms before it did. So got down, wore my windcheater and got up again and lo behold! more skidding . All this on a straight line which was scary so I didn't even try to take a corner without trying to keep my bike straight.
It was alright after that but that was scary enough for me to ride at speeds below 40 kmph on empty highways
Both instances, the tyre wasn't really cold for it to skid but it did and all of a sudden all my confidence in the tyre has gone to the dogs!

Anyways, about the mileage thingy. So like last time i said, my bike should have run 282.2 kms at a mileage of 30kmpl since I had filled 9.42 ltrs. Now the blinking has started and I think I have done around 270 kms and it has been blinking for 15 kms. Will drive till 300 kms and see how much petrol the bike will take.

Bet you didn't see this - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/desi-bik...yoshimura.html

the rear part is different in this pic, are these available in india..?
exhaust is abramo

Can someone point me to that post? I'm not able to find it..

Mileage update :

I've been using shell super from the last couple of fill ups and both the performance and mileage have increased. The figure I'm quoting here is an average calculated after filling the tank thrice. Driving was a combo of 70% city and 30% highway. was red lining quite often too.

The mileage I got was 35.12 KMPL. Top speed achieved while running shell super was 165 KMPH.

Is there any difference in the rear part, i think no. it may be coz of the full red paint scheme. TYGA has incorporated a new rear end to CBR250R which is their projects bikes. Looks good.

I Got my CBR last week . And did a 300 KM highway drive on day one

Now, should i get the oil and filter (i bought along with the bike) changed or should i wait for 1st service (1K KM)

Also please suggest best service center in Bangalore?

these conti go tyres are a crap....no sufficient traction on the road....even on small wet patch on road you can feel slight swinging.....is it wise to rev the engine till 5500-6000 rpm in first 500 kms???these conti go tyres have a lot of road noise my r15's mrf zappers are far much better..

165???
that sounds too high. what is shell putting in their fuel

And how much do you weigh FastestIndian? I hope you're talking 165 on a flat surface & not when its downhill & the wind current is with you!!!
