So the conclusion is ???

Price for the oil is alright.

The oil they used is the Throttle 10W30 FS one. 1.5 litres would be around 760/- if you do the maths.
You could also ask them to let you have the second bottle they used just to be sure and store it for further refills.

@theironhorse: my bike had shim issue factory shipped.. and there have been many more cases.. dont delay. Get it done from them asap as later, they will charge you for it and may harm your engine at high speeds (incase you get tempted)

@Aman: Bro, the oil used is perfect and the charge too.. No worries. There was a news from guys that Honda recommends and factory ships CBRs with Honda throttle 10w30 FS. So thats fine.

The cost of my 2nd service was around Rs.2700 and 3rd was Rs. 2600 with no major components changed. Oil, oil filter, one brake pad each time. (i get the rear changed from outside with p220 rear pads). Once it had cost of shims and next time, it was coolant. Just that. Now after the free services, it would be Rs.750 for each paid service. Which would again add to it. And even my chain sprocket kits are about to be replaced.
I am not cribbing for the cost but for the quality of service after all this..

thanks Sagar for letting me know

and thankyou nightwing .

well the 1st few services are free and that too under waranty.. why would they charge you for the shims ????


i will get it checked this weekend.. but if they did charge you and they gonna do the same.. honda is getting a legal notice for sure.. without a delay.. family of 15+ advocates.. they will irritate me at the wrong place. lets see what they say this saturday.


fm have helped me with the info and have been very helpful... saturday is the judgement day..

thanks to jacob and dheeraj for the helping hand..

Shims are not covered under warranty as they are subject to wear n tear. But if the problem is from the beginning, you would get it done for free. In my case, i had complained about it in the first week itself. But due to shortage of shims, it was done in 2nd service which was 6months later and they said it will be charged. I dint want to argue for Rs330 and the manager said, 'Sir, you bought a bike worth 1.7L, i am sure you wont think much for 300 bucks' which pissed me off more. I was happy that my bike felt better and left.

@Aman: welcome bro.

Guys, wanted to share a small piece of some GREAT NEWS!
One of my friend from our Mumbai CBR Group, Atheeb Ahmed has successfully completed a challenge of SS2000k ie. 2000kms in 24hrs on his CBR250R. He is now waiting for IBA certification to go official and once approved, he would be India's first rider to do so.. I wanted to share it here to let all know the touring potential of our CBR and definately about the herculeon efforts by Atheeb. Its a great acheivement and i am Proud to know him.

great news man ! ..really inspiring ...kudos to your friend.

My bike also had shims problem right from the time I purchased it. But nothing to worry, cause I got it changed under warranty. Usually for any warranty work, SVC has to shoot a mail to HMSI. But the SVC, try to make us pay for the same so that they don't have to take any trouble of taking snaps & mailing them across to HMSI.

Awesome..! what route he did..

The planned route was Mumbai-Surat-Udaipur-Jhansi and back. I suppose he followed the same. Dint had time to know much about the experience. We will meet this weekend.
I am planning to do it just after the monsoon but maybe Mumbai-Chennai-Mumbai.

I want to get my shims replaced under warrant as the problem has been right from the day of purchase . Is it necessary that for this , I should only contact the showroom i purchased my bike from , or can any other ASC do it for me ?? !

hi guys,
i have got my new CBR STD red..
and got the no tn 19 F 8692..

done only 250kms till now...and i am havin some issues in shifting from 1st to 2nd..when i shift the rpm goes below 2k and it knocks a bit..and pulls slowly..
so i needed to knw how u guys are handling this issue..at wat rpm u shift frm 1st to 2nd.?til wat rpm u take on 1st gear..??
and do u shift slowly or very fast...?

pls help...

The route he took was Mumbai - Surat - Vadodara - Godhra - Shamlaji - Udaipur - Shivpuri - Jhansi and back.

Also, my shims were replaced at approximately 14k kms, and it was done under warranty!

Since it will be a warranty claim, please do get it done at the service centre associated with the showroom from where you bought your bike.

Cool..

when i did it @ Vihaan, they showed me a honda book which mentioned that shims are subject to wear and so are not covered under warranty. Though i wasnt charged any labour cost, it was just the charge of Shims. Its not a uniform practice i guess.. By the way, the mechanic there even told me that the shims from your bike may be used on other bike if the value required matches and so should not be charged, but as per Honda, they will have to.
