    Got my CBR 250R about a month back. Have done 1042 kms now. 1st servicing over.

    I'm planning to replace the exhaust with either a Yoshimura or an Akrapovic. I stay in Bangalore. I would be glad if anyone can recommend me a good dealer here in Bangalore.
    I was about to ask this question. Has anyone changed their exhaust? Any idea about what all I would lose warranty on?
    And of course, which exhaust you recommend and dealers in Bangalore or India.

    I was considering purchasing from Performance Racing Store(Mumbai). Any feedback on that?

          Exhaust depends on the note you like & ofcourse the $$$; dealers - PRS and/or Bachoo.

          Good professional people, atleast that's what the entire forum says.

          Sudeep - Tks a lot; but I'm more confused!!!
          1. Why Honda does all this?
          2. Instead why can't they take efforts to bring down their turn around time & increase the supply of spares?
          3. Last time when the camp happened in BLR, Chennai was on radars, but, I doubt if it even happened in Chennai.

              its not about proving anything or taking any pain.

                  I got my R15's front number plate&saree guard removed on the 1st servicing too.
                  Number plate was an eyesore&saree guard was useless without a ladies' footrest.
                  Most people get it stickered on the visor (windshield), but I got it done on the front mudguard or fender.
                  I put a big sticker in RTA approved font&size. I have been asked by a cop or two but they didn't mind seeing that the number is more legible than the regular plate.
                  I guess not having a number plate is illegal in some cities, here they don't care much.
                  Have a look at this pic, it will give you an idea: xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community - Sarvajit's Album: My Bikes - Picture

                    • ^^^ keeping aside the discussion on whether the number plates violates law or not, get your RVM's fixed; forget violating law, develop good habits on riding using RVM's!!!

                        • Track Day Chennai

                          Just received a call from my dealer that Honda is organizing a track day at Sripermabadur (not sure of the spelling) race track in Chennai on the 1st of October. He asked me to come to the showroom by 8:30, apparently we have to be at the race track by 9:30. Excited . I am in desperate need of a good helmet now :| . And ya, he said no special riding gear necessary, I suppose they are going to provide it at the track.

                            Any idea if they're providing trainers?

                              I knew you would be the first one asking questions . I got it clarified again, No gear deemed mandatory, except for shoes and Helmet. The dealer is Pratham Honda Kanchipuram. He is authorized to invite 5 of his customers. The total number of bikes from all of 'tamilnadu' as he mentioned (but i reckon its just chennai) is 30. Find out with your dealer aargee.

                                Dealer? I spoke with HMSI engineer last weekend & he wasn't aware of any upcoming events other than the regular race with Twister & C250R

                                And just 30 customers from entire TN ; I highly doubt I'll get a call!!!
