    Honda CBR 250R mods

    Hi Folks, Im planning to buy a used CBR250r and do the following to use it as a tourer with upright riding position

    1. Remove fairing kits and use it as naked
    2. Replace clip-ons with regular wide handlebars with a handlebar raiser. How good will this seating geometry be considering that my height is 5'9"
    Will the front heavy CBR be any better with the above handlebar setup?
    3. Can i fit the current Gixxer's LED headlight assembly or any-other?
    4. Any Option to increase the front fork height?

    TIA
    Sampath

    I washed my cbr 250r by removing both seats and also all the plastic body.
    I washed it with 3M shampoo and water but I have not still started my bike because in between the washing I realized can water enter through any of the areas to the engine like air filter or any other area from where it can damage the engine.
    Please guide me what should i do?
    Should I start the bike or should i first tow it to a mechanic
    Normally there are two inlets for water to get into system in most modern bikes. One is the Petrol tank cap, and the other is the Air intake.
    If the Petrol tank cap is properly sealed and the drain pipe is not blocked, then it is not an issue.
    Secondly the Air Intake . If water does not come up to it while riding through flooded water condition, or pressure wash hose is directed near it, water ingress is rare through Air Intake. To find out look at the oil color through Level window. If you see discoloration with soapy or whitish mix in it, then water had entered the engine. If so Drain the oil immediately and let it all come out by keeping the drain open for 15 minutes. Then apply Air pressure from the Filler hole to blow away the remaining oil/water from the crank case. Fit the drain bolt with NEW CRUSH WASHER and tighten to spec. fill oil and you are good to go.
    Good Luck.

    If you have the air filter cover in place, it shouldn't be a problem AFAIK.

    I'm saying this with reference to the last time I serviced CBR250R at Vihaan Honda, Thane (January 2020), the mechanic (specifically for CBR) opened both the seats and then washed the bike, which I hope he knew what he was doing.

    I had clicked photos of the wash just in case I need to show it later (paranoia) but she hasn't showed any signs of any issues after that.

    Of course, more knowledge people will guide you better, but I didn't face any issue with normal jet wash (not shampooed).

    I have seen a CBR with Duke 250 exhaust in Instagram. I was interested in it as it was looking better than stock exhaust & may be lighter than it.
    You can use stainless steel pipes the hollow ones it wont increase weight and no more scratches on exhaust
