First step done!
Went to the ASC (sai point, mira road) and showed them the tyre and cracks. I did not expect any help from them anyways, but they were actually least interested in the cracks and plainly replied, "tyres dont come with any warranty of any kind!"

LOL. I didn't talk further as i know these guys are hopeless. If i got to vihaan, they would atleast suggest me something (but vihaan is around 20kms from here so not going there today as it may be closed being public holiday). Will try contacting continental tyres now..

@Nitesh: The paint jobs are too tempting.. Esp. The last one. But its important to find a competant paintshop to get it done so neatly here. I think DK was looking at some paint designs too. Awesome find.

Sure bro! Would wait for your PM. Btw, was it a local (kerela) number or some toll free or headquarter number? Anyways, would check it out. Thank you.

hi

hi guys,

I've been member from last couple of years but haven't posted anything till now, but have been reading all the posts daily without fail. Today this is my 1st post and it is to thank you all for all the knowledge shared about baby cbr which had helped me to finalised the bike. Have finally got my hands on the bike last thursday, got it from pashankar auto pune.
The bike is reeeeeaallly good (there are few bad points though which normally very bike or car has its own + & - points).
About the experience i can just say in one words i.e. "AWESOME"

Just one question if any one can help me with it:
Where can i get the bike cover for CBR (is it available in pune)?

Thanks,

Ride Safely.

i suggest to choose Motul 5100-Ester 10W40 if you can source one..(the 10W30 also available)
or if you are a rich boy, try Motul 300V Factory Line 10W-40 (about US $30 / litre)
and it's no prob to use 10W-40, even it recommend to use 10W-30 (and this sentence is in the CBR250 OWNER'S MANUAL BOOK)..different oil grade is choosen depends on the local climate..

try googling some, like this

i recollect two members from here did install k&n on cbr and said it was useless. One even offered to give it away for free. Search for the post as i dont recollect the members exactly.
From my experience, k&n does more harm than good. And you can find the same all over internet. I wish i had read those before i invested my money (that was on yammy rxz).

Hi all

Can anybody tell me the difference between a shim & the tappet??

I thought there was a tappet noise in my bike but the ASC guy said its the shims (which are not available). Now what do they with the shim?? He said he will not change it but do some tapping so that the noise doesn't come. Had to leave the bike with them.
Has anybody else faced this problem?

**Nithesh** · 12-06-2011, 06:53 PM

Will self servicing the bike void warranty? By servicing i meant overhauling.

Haven't looked the map; route from Chennai is...

Chennai - Ulundurpet - Trichy - Madurai (NH45) (there's one narrow stretch of 2 lane good road, take it & at the end take a left towards) - Tirunelveli (NH44 or NH7 not sure) - (watch out for the right turn, do not take all bridges) Nagerkovil - Marthandam - Neyyatingara - Trivandrum. Works close to 750 Kms from my home; should be not more than 800 Kms from Chennai.

Edit - looked the map; why confuse so much Binoy; Chennai-TVM is cake walk. If you ride good, you can do it in 10-11 hours max.
Here's the map - http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Ch...mra=ls&t=m&z=7
