    I guess I need to try that too, though the vibes are manageable at the moment.

    • Chain getting loose frequently.
      one thing i noticed is that while you are on the 6th gear and always riding below 65kmph the chain getting loose often may be coz of the low end torque is not adequate and feeling a back pull in the chain. once past 70 in 6th it seems ok. also riding in low rpm in any gear cause this probs.

        This service is going to cost me a bomb!
        front disk pad 680 rs
        rear disk pad 670 rs

        if you thing these are costly in 1500 then what about karizma its front disk pads costs 2800 and in city they need to change in every 5 to 6 k .

        better you get rear disk pad from 220 they are of 130 rs only.
        it will suely save you from bomb

            HMSI isn't suggesting it, what I'm trying to say is that, I'd rather do that for every service (let's see the cost) so that I can keep C250R in top notch condition

            Interesting observation!!! The HMSI engineer told me that the chain should be inspected/adjusted every 2K kms

            In that case, I bet C250R's should cost more than 1.5K

            It would, but, to me already the brakes needs some serious improvement & with a worn out pad, its only calling disaster & not to mention the rear ones esp with the stock tires!!!

                WTH!!! I cannot accept this!!! Seriously guys!!! With cost compromises the quality & I seriously cannot accept low quality; otherwise, I could've waited for bigger CC Pulsar!!!

                You mean ENGINE???
                1. What's the ODO read?
                2. How's the vibes during idling (cold), idling (warm/hot, say running after 10 Kms)? State this w.r.t RVM's.
                3. Is there a tappet noise?
                4. Are you using HMSI supplied 20W-40/10W-30 engine oil? And how many Kms completed after changing the engine oil?

                  This is real good pricing!
                  Yes, R15's pads cost was initially quite high at 1100 for the rear, and 790 for the front.
                  Now the prices are 390&690!
                  Even then, CBR's OTR pricing, spares pricing make it the most VFM in the 250 segment. Doubt if anyone can better it!

                    3. no tik tik, means no tappet noise.
                    4. yes i am using 10W-30 oil.

                      • Rahul - Do you mean roughness in the engine or noisy? Both are 2 different things & confirm them pls.

                        All your answers are intact; then the only thing I can suspect is...
                        1. Tighten engine bed bolts
                        2. If that doesn't help, change the rubber mounts on engine + fairings

                          may be because of indian bajaj and international company honda.

                            Common issue!!! Change engine oil ...atleast that's what I did;
                            Otherwise do this experiment, ride for somewhere long; start early in the morning say by 5:00 AM, ride for about 80-90 Kms one way & in a very good speed, atleast 70 & try to maintain the same speed when coming back. You'll find the engine much smoother. Let me know the outcome if you do this test.

                            70 is in mph

                                Saar...20 Kms is different from 90 one way!!!

                                Anyway, if you still think so...go ahead & change the engine oil & it has to fix the engine roughness.
