Aargee rode my bike for a considerable stretch where he got to test the brakes, among other things. So, maybe he can drop in a few words about his feelings too (not for me, because he already told me , but for the community)

Can you please clarify ur biker is ABS or Non ABS?

OT - Trespassing! Go away, shoo shoo

It has been over 4k kms since I have started using the Galfer HH rated disc pads instead of the stock, and the Galfer makes a world of difference to the stopping potential of the bike and thus, the rider confidence. Now before, somebody tries to ask for clarification, let it be noted that I have ridden 3 different Ninjas before,(not for long, but enough to test the brakes). And back then, I envied the initial bite the front brake offered. That feeling of just a feather touch to the lever and the jolt of your entire body trying to get over the tank. That's what I have been missing until I got the Galfers. I am afraid to apply the brakes in traffic because I am sure no one behind me can have that potential, they are just that good. Period

The only problem though seems to be the huge front dive the bike seems to experience under such enormous force. It is not a major issue once you get used to it, but there certainly might be others who never will. Afterall, they do say No pain, No gain right? . I have used the brakes in wet,hot, humid and in the ghats(Masinagudi-Ooty-Mettupalayam nonstop). I was prepared to be disappointed by the brakes especially in the ghats filled with traffic, where you have to keep braking ever so often, making the brakes lose their efficiency. But they held their own against all odds, and worked just the way they did under any other circumstance.

Now, here is the most interesting part that almost, if not all people would be interested in, VFM. One set of disc pads cost HOLD YOUR BREATH!, 1500 rupees including international shipping (if more than one set is ordered, else 1800), while the stock pads cost believe it or not, 2000 /- odd rupees . My first set of disc pads(stock) lasted for 15800 kms after which I replaced them even though I still had some life left to use on the pads. Now, if the Galfer are just as good in the resilient department as the performance department, then I am expecting a life of atleast 20k kms from them. Now, do I need to elaborate more about the VFM this product offers .

Sayhi2sai interesting to read your take on the brake pads. Can you please clarify ur biker is ABS or Non ABS? and also the part number of the brake pads you ordered.

Sent from my G-Note on Taptalk

Thanks for the good review and was waiting to hear from someone like this. From which site did you ordered. It will cost 1800Rs/-(for a single pair) including shipping, customs etc.? Then that will be amazing. When I bought my tinted windscreen from TYGA(Thailand) it costed me around 3500Rs/- including everything

ABS



Thanks for the kind words Binoy. I ordered it from ebay, ,.............me around 15 days(actual) to receive them after placing the order.

P.S :- I would like to thank Ram, a.k.a thefastestindian for suggesting me these brake pads.

Please note that these only fit the ABS version and they only have the front disc pads, as the rear disc pads seems to be different on the Indian spec version from what they told me.

Hi everyone,

I have been riding the CBR250r for about a yr now (yes. i am one of the 1st day 1st show owners). Just got done with the 1 yr 3rd service and lo, I got my 1st problem.

I saw a few drops of liquid under the engine casing, suspected it to be oil excess.But it was not as viscous as oil. Saw the engine temp rising and took to the closest ASC (Manasarovar Honda, Velachery).

They figured out the issue was the radiator coolant tube having a leak and that needs replacement (I suspect it appeared only after the service).

And as usual, they are saying the good old "Spares not available, has to come from Honda story".

I have read from previous posts that Didar motors seem to have a decent stock of spares.

Is there anything I can do to get the spares?
Any contact numbers in Honda Regional office to get the spare?

Any help is greatly appreciated. My bike is lying idle with them for about 5-6 days now.

Thanks,
Navaneeth

Also, one more thing I noticed is, even in small bumps on road I feel I am thrown off the seat. I weigh a decnt 70 kgs and 5'11'' tall. This is a bit uncomfortable. When I ride with a pillion the comfort level is improved. But I love the leaning angle and cornering ability with this suspension setting. Guys, which suspension setting you recommend for a smooth ride. Also comment on the cornering ability of the bike if I change the stock setting.

Guys help me on this.
