@ice i agree with u.i will take note of the correction.......i rest my case on these matters............

Hey bro ,,u r from delhi ,,and u hv installed Aftermarket Exhaust as well ..
would like to see and hear the sound in real life ,,,,have heard alot

planning to buy 1

let me

AND GUYS

I really Need a bike Cover

seriously need it

let me know if any one has any suggestion

Ok..here is my technical opinion on your query . Mine is the bike from 1st lot and i've clocked some 10k on it and my last time i went for that KIT replacement (nuts and bolts) i showed bikes brake pads and Mr. Mech said " saar 1-2000kms to chal hi jaega no worry " ( Dont worry it will last another 1-2000kms ) . Your query reminds me of the V'small kinda issue i faced with this bike that once while riding i noticed that bike isnt moving freely so i went to SVC and asked them check and here what mech came up with .

1> He took a small TD and agreed that bike isnt moving freely .
2> He checked Chain slackness......alignment and rear wheel every thing was fine .
3> then he moved towards Front wheel and here what problem was that brake pads were jamming/catching the front wheel and it could do harldy 1-2 rotations if you try to spin tyre with full force .
4> So he checked the master cylinder and told me that it isnt working properly and some rubber part inside it need to be cleaned or Replaced( on my own cost) .
5> I agreed to him without making any further argument and after 2 hrs i got call from SVC that my bike is ready and mech cleaned that xyz rubber part .
6> I checked bikes front wheel and now it was spinning freely and brake was working good so i took Delivery and came back home .

So IF your bike is eating/gulping brake pads @ 3k kms make sure there isnt any fault with brakes and other mechanical parts (like caliper,master cylinder , brake line) before going for new set of pads .

I wont add on any Tips on preserving brake pads as every rider has his own riding style .

and for FFE and dont like them generally these kind of upgrades are not worth it and If you are doing some really long rides then it(the sound ) get irritating after some distance . CBR is already Torque loaded bike and i think it has enough FREE REVVING engine and i dont feel need to do any mods on it . But on another side IF you like to rev and do short sprint around city its fun to have FFE on your bike . AND If you want an upgrade which costs 12k coz it make some Noise then its a big NO..! from my side.

and yea sorry for those grammar and spell mistakes.

Might be a very stupid question. If so apologies ..

What is the rear wheel rim size of CBR250R? I would also like to know that if a section 130 rear tyre (ninja / 150R / R15V2) can be fitted with the current rim?

Reason is, I personally feel 140 section is un-necessary & its broadness might be hampering bike's cornering abilities. I am totally amateur in this area and your explanation / take on this idea is highly appreciated.

Check your CBR tyre and it has the all the info you need written on it.
Since you said you are amateur in this area, you should believe Honda engineers did what is best required for CBR. Cornering doesn't depend only on tyres, it also depends on chassis, suspension setup, type pressure, road condition etc.

^when taking about speeds of 140+, i dont think pulling a katoom here would favor the katoom IMHO. But i'll still wait for real world reviews than assume things of a yet to release bike.

Excuse me sir. But who's post are you quoting again? I went 3-4 pages back and did not see the post you quoted. Did the post get deleted or something?


On topic: I hear a loud CLUNK everytime i shift from neutral to 1st when the bike is standstill(and sometimes while moving) from day one.
IS this normal or should i get it checked at the ASC? I dont hear it all the time but maybe about 60% of the times i startup.

hi friends im new to this thread
& i got my bike on 7th january at 8 pm.
i took delivery on didar motors( mount road near thousand light)
now in detail:
i went to didar at 5 pm on that day and i paid the amount nearly 1,91,337 rupees.
and wait for 30mins after that mechanic called me to choose a bike and we went to the store room there i saw more than 25+ cbr waiting for there owners to pickup.I saw a bike which was covered with some bubble like plastic cover and i tired to ignite the engine but there is no power. mechanic told me to wait and removed all the plastic cover and the seat there i saw the battery was not connected battery was sealed and laminated. he connected the battery and gave the key to me to start the engine. but the bike was not started due to petrol he filled 2 and half litre .now its starts. some body told in this thread cbr sounds like a shareauto. no its not.i took a printout which was posted by aagree (pdi .txt) it was very helpfull on that time because no one with me i went alone. after pdi i saw a small bend in the radiator fins(right side corner) and there was a small scratches on the silencer guard.mechanic corrected that bend and changed the silencer guard .we went to the workshop and gave the bike after pdi.

I get the same noise as well.....what about others?

Thats normal, the more smoother the gears become, the more louder the sound gets. To prove my point try downshifting at higher RPM's and you'll hear the same sound. If it get's too loud then check the drive chain slack.

As long as your happy with your ride, it doesnt matter whether the other ones are more powerful or not(I learnt that the hard way.)

Just consider the CBR as an upgrade to the current ZMA\ZMR thats all. The Ninja is of a whole different breed with its 2 cylinder mill, the CBR doesnt stand a chance, both on paper and on road. But dont think of it as a shortcoming, cause the CBR is a Sports Tourer and with its advanced C-ABS does its job well as one.

So once again reminding you, comparing the CBR with the Ninja would be a waste of time and is as pointless, similar scenario would be comparing the ZMA to the P220 since both are of different breeds and hence would simply over post-ulate this thread and nothing more.

Upgraded version? so soon? Or are you referring to Joel's worked CBR?

say again?

folks i heard from source now it may be a speculation..but a upgraded version is in the pipe line.......may come out late 2014...im not sure.again its just wht iv heard..........may be true may be false

hello.

hello everyone...
just trying to introduce myself, i m piyush from ahmedabad, have done 6000 kms on my silver std cbr. the issues i have been facing with my bike is that i get a cracking sound from my front forks whenever it passes through a little bump. i complained about the same to an ASC, they say it completely fine. but still i have that sound coming. is somebody else here who also gets the same sound...?? and what is the solution to that..??
