    On a serious note - Arjun, I'm not sure if you own a C250R, if you do, please for once go through owner's manual or bare minimum go through HMSI website. I can even pardon your spelling mistake of Carburetor for car-bor-tor (quite rhythmic ), but certainly HMSI folks would if they hear C250R is using car-bor-tor
    This was OP,

    So when I shot this email I was already waiting for over 2 weeks & now...its a month!!! The ridiculous part is that, HMSI has shipped the rear sprocket & chain last weekend, but they haven't shipped the front sprocket. Today, if I go to buy a chain/sprocket set for my Rx, I get as one whole kit including, 2 sprockets, chain including the tounged washer. I don't know how HMSI can ship parts individually. The worst thing is that, I also need the rubber damper on the swing arm & they haven't shipped it.

    The most funniest part is that...HMSI has about 15-18 C250R participating in Honda One racing at MMSC with every necessary spares, but, they only don't have spares for their customers!!!

    I was almost determined to file a consumer court case if my bike wasn't ready by 19th to join the road trip & with the present conditions, I don't expect even a miracle to occur to make it. What do you guys suggest? Should I opt for consumer case?
    /sigh, you remember the starting days of ownership, when we all were thinking to file the case against Honda for quality issue, but then we all settled. Find a way to get task done(you are already expert in that, in case any part available in NCR region, we can send if possible).

    Honda Marketing team gave a couple of details on wats coming up, when they turned up at globus honda dealership on monday.

    1. They are soon going to sell CBR250R Jackets ( Grey ) at the honda showrooms. Its going to have honda wings on the front and the CBR250R written on the back .

    2. They are planning to organise CBR riders get together. For Delhi, they were saying most prob its going to be on 23rd of this month.
    Please PM me, if you get any information when & where exactly this is going to happen.
    As for Jackets: They will sell on very high price, I have seen their price list for CBR riding gears (@ Noida Service center, saw the email which Honda sent to Dealers to start booking for riding gears),
    Price list: Jacket (~7k), Pant(~7K) & Glove (~4-5k), lets see if they changed anything in price, parts are less expansive , they should sell gear also on low prices.

    • I forgot to post what i wanted, was having lot of urge to ask to calm down my urge.

      After completing my small tour, i went to Service center for 2nd Service, was a working day so had to leave to office, leaving the bike at service center with following task to be done:
      1. Open complete fairing and readjust, as i have a crack on it and it got loosen on offroading of ~40kms of touring.
      2. Inspection of brake pads (i was afraid after seeing the case of DK & Curt)
      3. Chain clean & lube, electric switch replace/repair(headlight one)
      4. Headlight adjustment, as one side's little bit ahead post that accident.
      5. No need to change the Engine Oil, as i got it changed just 700Kms ago to Honda 10w30 FS.
      I asked him to take a test drive, he took and told me that it's not functioning properly as it should and will fix.

      Came back, picked the bike, then i inspected what was done.
      1. He changed the Engine Oil, even when i didn't want
      2. Said brake pads will work more, bring it at around ~8k
      3. Fairing readjusted, can't adjust Headlight, as it's nonadjustable and attached with fairing cover.
      4. lubed the chain.

      When i took the bike on road after service, i was able to feel the complete power of the Machine, it was like mind giving the commands to hands,feet and they obliged. I dunno what the hack he done but was literally feeling very good with the response of my engine.

      then i rode it for more ~240Kms and then it came back on the same old scenario, and i am missing that prompt response from the engine now.

      Aargee/PSR Ji: Requesting your guidance before I snatch my head's hairs and jump on mechanic's head. Is it because of Engine Oil ( I don't think, because i had it changed around 800kms ago before service and that time engine was not as smooth and prompt as was after 2nd service) or some wire adjustment, or etc etc

              All parts are shipped to the country from Gurgaon ; they claim not having the parts, either I've to start hunting for AM parts OR keep waiting indefinitely!!! I guess we don't have choice!!!

              +1; it will only be a surprise if HMSI sells anything less than standard market price.

              BTW, what was being charged for the engine oil change? Did you mention in the JC that the engine oil should NOT be changed while handing over your motorcycle?

              You mean vibrations? If that were the case, I assume the ASC might've put a rubber washer in the place where the fairing was cracked & after riding for few more Kms, it might've given up or yielded to vibes.

                Hi,
                erm whatever it is.. not a cbr for sure.. anyways would recommend you to share your enthusiasm and posts on a separate thread. This thread is strictly for CBR ownership experiences and not pulsar modified with a horse engine cover or whatever one may call it. really appreciate your enthusiasm with the bike and pics but would request you to do the above for the same.

                lets keep this thread clean..

                cheers

                                Ah, not on the JC, i told specifically the CBR mechanic while detailing about problems.
                                Charged me Rs. 742.9 for Engine Oil.

                                Not vibration actually, it was throttle/engine response, now what i suspect is that he must have tighten the throttle wire, which now got loosen after ~250kms.
