u can use pulsar 220 leavers for some time till the actual stock is available from honda it is a direct fit have seen it from my own eyes so go ahead no problem.

plus if u r using a std version then the brake shoe of 220 is also a direct fit.

Arjun,

Are both levers a perfect fit? The brake levers, I heard are difficult to find a match for CBR? If its a match, I am changing the levers today.

Thanks

You said right aargee no one will complain till everything is nice because no one want to go to service station without a reason. well but when problem come then only they come to know and feel the importance of complaining...

my ceeber is one month old and 1200kms clocked.. i had a crash 5 days back in which left side faring, clutch lever, left handle bar, footrest and both indicators(left) broke and scratched

the amazing part is i 'll get my bike tomorrow after being each and every part replaced

the 5 days time is also due to insurance claim and lack of mechanics (as the svc has only one mechanic trained for cbr)

its very bad that people from different region are having problems and suffering just because of lack of spare parts

but yes i am a happy customer of honda

Ya bro even my blade is just 3 months old and i done 8.5 k kms and previously when got my clutch lever bent and left faring scratched it was short out in 5 days and i was a happy man

... but from last 5 days seeing my baby standing untouched with cold engine just due to a lever not a big problem it's hurts... and these service center peoples take it like nothing happens...

no issue wid warranty . you can change them.

thanks ! ill try

I got loads of scratches on my tank. Anyone got any solution for the same? Can i get it repainted, if so how and from where? Can I claim warranty?? :S The scratches though were due to my tank bag

Also, thinking, if I do get it repainted, will get the bike lacquered to keep the paint quality top notch. Any idea from where I can get it lacquered in Mumbai?

Not a single problem, to the matter of fact, i have met a lot of cbr owners in Hyderabad and none of us have a single problem. We have a mixture of bikes which arrived in the first lot and the last lot too

Spares are flowing in, i find it stupid for people whining about spares. C'mon Honda is trying to deliver the rest of the bikes and its too early to expect spares in the market (leaving aside the oil filters) and about the brake pads, for people having completed say around 4k-5k on the odo, heard anything called gear breaking?? I used an Fz16 for 47k kms on the Odo before i sold her off for the CBR and i changed the disk pads twice and the rear break shoe just 1st

I would say you can definitely close your eyes and go for it

You will not be disappointed and get the C-ABS one, would definitely help.

Now, these are strictly MY view and observation

I have been waiting for the left fairing and the radiator for 63 days now. How did the accident happen, you ask? An Indica lost control and rammed onto my parked bike. I still haven't lost my cool, and the only thing I'm requesting Honda is to give me a concrete date of delivery of the aforementioned spares. Forget date, I'd be happy if they just tell me the year.

You think I'm wrong somewhere and being stupid?

P.S. I still think the CBR 250R is the best city bike you can lay your hands on in the country today.

**aargee** · 11-09-2011, 02:26 PM

@Dreamseller - Give me a call sometimes before 5:00 PM today; we'll take up your part issue from there

**abhiwar** · 11-09-2011, 04:29 PM

Once again she's back in service center.

Well today when i went to service center for clutch cable settings and chain cleaning the mechanic discovered new issue in my bike while he took test ride after setting clutch cable play . He said that he suspects that there is some issue with the Front Master cylinder

i wasnt expecting that . He also said that there is some rubber bush which has gone kaput and needs to be replace but it isnt under warranty . it is ok with me but my point is that What if my front brake fails in some panic situation or what if it locks my front wheel as soon as i grab front leaver....."No chance" .... any ways i think i was lucky that Vihaan honda managed to locate the issue befor any thing could go wrong . And i think its time to give some reality check to Honda people they just cannot play with someonc's life ...and say that their product has the top notch quality .

Honda is recommending 10w30 FS Oil which is from Honda itself. And your service center & mechanic there would know it very well. Why worry so much and type it in Red for that?

Oh!!! Don't say such things Sudeep; you'll be termed as creator of CBR 250R

This was the case in sept/oct in bangalore. I hear things are much better now.

Honestly, using gear braking in all the situations is dangerous, counterproductive and not practical.

P.s : i love the CBR. Absolute fun bike!

It was the same with almost every other bike that was launched in India

Wait period for anything in India is unavoidable and i think i would let this one slip by

And about gear breaking, well, its a personal choice and it DOES work for me, been working that way for over 3+ years now... And im not here to support Honda for s*** :P Im just speaking my mind out like i mentioned im my post. Damn... people were right about this thread

Well, well... Never did i said some one is being stupid or wrong here!! I did mention it was MY views didn't i?? And about your ride, sorry to hear that happen mate.. There is nothing much that can be done about it unless you want to fly in some parts (which me and a friend did) and found it reasonable... Not advising anyone here to go my way again ...

Im no representative from Honda folks, im just speakin out my opinion

**chicmagnet** · 11-09-2011, 10:35 PM

I got my front wheel replaced recently and for some reason I feel that handling is not much better than what it used to be with a bent wheel! Wonder what could be wrong - wheel alignment/front fork or coneset or my mind

We are too...im just super sad at the way things 'were' handled...but i know that they're fixing the gaps and fast. Finally getting the modest kind of service that the baby blade deserves.

@chica : could it be possible that u got used to the driving style with the bent rim?.... it might take a few days to get used to the new handling..:/

Yes possibly! Also for some reason my front tyre pressure kept increasing so filled in nitrogen now to keep that in check.
Will wait before I report this problem. And yes, my body does ache after I got the new wheel so could be that it is just adjusting to it but I am still skeptical.
