    If you increase the current flow in any wire beyond it's design it is likely to burn. So try to remain within the Spec of the bike's rating. If you must have more loads attached to your electrical system, then run specific wires , separately from battery with proper fuse. Remember each extra device adds loading of Battery , Stator, and RR. .
    Good Luck.

    Anyone Replacing Fork Seals there is an alternative to honda OEM seals
    This are the same seals that are manufactured by the same company for Honda cbr250r as claimed by the dealer
    And it costs mere 85/- original costs around 300/-
    Any experts can put their views would be helpful as i have still not replaced them Click image for larger version

    If you want to change the Brake fluid in CBR 250 R stick to DOT 4. It is a good choice with positive results. Both Dot 4 and 5.1 are Glycol based and can be used without flushing traces of previous oil. Dot 5.1 has higher boiling point.

    I heard earlier in posts that few xbhpians have installed it but nowhere can find if it created any issues with the bike

    Has anyone tried Motul DOT 5.1 brake fluid?
    Is it recommended for Cbr250r?

    The main difference between DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 brake fluid is in their boiling points. These make up part of the standards these fluids need to meet. Find out what they are.

    I had the same thoughts but depends on the fork thickness and the the t stem bottom and top plate would change.

    The head bolts and other engine part annexing nuts and bolts cannot be taken out without causing leak like you said..In such cases, either spray antirust , when engine is cool. wait for 10 minutes, and then clean it up. Get hold of Zinc paint and spray on the nuts to keep rust away for some time. When rust forms, the outer layer of the material is pitted and so needs thorough cleaning, and needs either plating or painting. So if the job of cleaning cannot be done without removing the part , best is to do as I suggested. Also afterwards periodic cleaning and application of a little clean engine oil will keep rust to a minimum. Find out if you can get ZINC plating done , if you are ok with a dull finish, as it lasts longer than Nickel plating and also protects the surface better.
    Good Luck.

    Plating cost will depend on the size and number of parts given for the work. If it is minimal then you have to wait for the time when the Plating works guy accepts it to do along with some other order. If the quantity is high or includes larger part then the Plating Works guy will accept it and charges will have to be bargained...
    So if the parts count is less , and includes only nuts and bolts ,then you are better off buying and fitting new ones..
    Try to get Zinc plating done if you do not mind the slightly dull finish, since ZINC resists corrosion better.
    Good Luck.

    I am saying this cause I own one from the 2011 batch. 9 years and still going strong.

    I believe the speedometer of your bike has been replaced/ reset few months before you bought it. I know this because once or twice the SVC mechanic had to disconnect wires of my bike's speedometer to look at some rattling issue from the front dome.

    Also I think it would be best if you take it SVC and overhaul once just as a precautionary measure.

    You can ask the previous owner where he used to get it serviced and enquire over there about all the works carried out by your previous owner and look for all the parts changed or any other issues the bike came in with.

    As for mileage, if the vehicle was driven very hard previously it can give give you less than 25kmpl. I know this cause a person I came across in HYDERABAD used to get below 20kmpl.

    As for me I use the throttle and brakes lightly. In the early years of riding I used to get 35- 38 kmpl easily.

    Then again over the years I noticed switching to Michelin Pilot street radials reduced the mileage to around 30- 32kmpl.

    Maybe flashing the ECU will erase what it learnt previously and tune to your riding. This should help a little bit but not by much.

    I hope this helps.
    The meter reading is real. Actually he is a childhood friend, he used the bike for a year but after his brother died in a car accident (God rest his soul), he stopped using the bike.

    I consulted the head mechanic in the SVC, after running the tank dry, I filled it again. Now the mileage seems to be in 30s. I guess it was because the bike wasn’t used for a long time.

    Will update the actual stats once the tank is empty.

    Thanks a lot for help. Cheers
