Just wanted to share. It even meets the purpose of indicator lights too, I would share its video soon cuz the blinking could not be well captured by cam.

Low

High

That looks freaking cool.. Even Im sure it lessens the amount of power consumption.. Waiting for the indicators..

Looks good Pravu. How much did that cost?
Why do you still have the indicators now?

Think , think and think.

I have kept it by purport only so that the internal wiring gets prevented from water sipping in etc. Moreover, there is a sensor at the back which is kind of camouflaged. Very few people know this.

Pravu - Freaking awesome; two thumbsup!!! Wish HMSI put up LED strip on stock C250R's.

Purpose?

I also see 250R sticker on the side panels; how did you even do that? It seems to be good at that location.

Rahul - Tks for sharing; good one. But I wonder how he covered the groove for rear turn lights.
Pravu - Is your DIY on LED tail lamp also similar to the one above?

OMG.....I'm spellbound..... oh!! number plate also get white led.

It's killer stuff, why someone need to keep turn indicators ?

Is it going to void bike warranty ?

2011 Cbr250r | eBay

Check out this link. You can see lots of amazing stuff for Cbr. The integrated tail light is also available. Many of the items can be shipped internationally.

Thanks for bringing down my efforts

. I can still share the video if anyone is interested.

Yes, mine is very much the same.

lol

If both sides blink, it does not meet the purpose of indicator, does it?

Purpose? There is sensor kept near the wiring junction of our tail light. That sensor helps to rectify the errors if any occurring to the ECU. So, it is advisable enough not to remove the stock indicators at rear end. Because they more or less protect the wiring and that mini sensor as well.

I also see 250R sticker on the side panels; how did you even do that? It seems to be good at that location.

This is easy man, its just an act of designing the stickers. The person did it all by hand.

As far as I know, if XXwYY is the viscosity grade of an engine oil, then
XX - Viscosity at 0 degree C
YY - Viscosity at 100 degree C

Let us compare 10w30 and 20w40 oils
At 0 degree C, the 10w30 is less viscous (less thick) as compared to 20w40
At 100 degree C, the 10w30 is less viscous (less thick) as compared to 20w40

As a result, at lower temperature, 10w30 gives lower starting problems, whereas at higher temperatures, it is too runny to perform the function of lubrication of metal parts and heat conduction away from engine.

Compared to this, the 20w40 is thicker at start up (though as aargee correctly said, the lowest annual temperatures in places like Pune and Chennai are too high to worry about oil freezing in sump). Also, it performs better at higher temperatures than 10w30, due to its having higher viscosity then 10w30 at 100 degrees C. Hence, it might be a better choice over the 10w30 in hotter places.

So do you suggest 20w40 for Bangalore also.
As we know, here its not so hot and even not so cold also, just moderate thru out the year mostly in 20s some times low 30s...

Err...shouldn't you use both front & back together?

Yes, both are supposed to be used. When I said I should use it rarely, I meant the ratio of its usage. As in more of the front and less of the rear. And also my habit of keeping my feet over the rear brake.

Between, here is a video of CBR without the silencer. It has a crazy load roar!
Had removed the silencer while changing the disk pads.

But, its better to put on P220's chain & keep riding & then waiting for C250R's parts rather than locking up C250R in the garage isn't it?

But brake pads are not manufactured by BAL??? Bybre manufactures it for both the companies...

Quite a point; but somehow, right from the RTZ days to Pulsar age, the rattles are free with BAL products. So hence the perception. Like I said before, I admire & respect BAL for the business they do in India, but, I don't like to own their products, unless the quality improves.

OTOH, not sure, there could be (probability) of price difference in BAL vs Honda products...at the cost of...
