Thanks Guys

as u know i was die hard wanna'be of GT250R and already booked it a month back

and now due to all these stupidness of the DSK-H [i mean it] i decided to hold off my purchase till next 18 months or so. well my expected price of that was 2.5L ex-show but now its 25k overshoot of budget.. even though i went ahead and get it ..still the value will be dropped once the so called 18month low price bikes arrives.
so logical step would be wait till then and proceed [still i am ready to go for it if its reduce price to some 25k].

as i need a replacement for my 4year old R15 .. the easiest and more efficient upgrade would be CBR250R ... why ?? read below

1. more practicle and i planned lot of trips this years some of which long distance
2. very friendly to pocket
3. very capable machine.
4. my 2nd fav bike which i admire most [sorry ninja ]

so my idea would be ..sell my R15 from which worst case i get around 50K .. and buy a CBR250R used one .. for around 1.2L-1.3L max and use it for next 2 years before going it to GT250R .. and it would be easy for me to keep CBR once GTR purchased in future..

so to all wise guys .. plz give ur some suggestion about my thought

and plz let me know if u come across anyone decided/knows selling/available CBR

So what? Congrats once again

next to impossible. for i tried pushing the bike on slope when bought it new while parking and even while pushing it in opposite direction while the engine is off . just the ignition is on ( engine kill switch to off) it still shows the speed.

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody over here has any experience regarding steel brake lines. I was thinking of installing them on my Std Cbr along with Dot4 oil.

Aargee, PSRji ... please if you can give your valuable inputs.

I was thinking of going in for HEL Performance Brake Line.

You mean Steel Braided Lines ? if the stock line in your bike seem to extend on hard braking...indicated by spongy lever response, then you can give it a try.But under normal riding conditions it is actually not warranted. A good line which does not extend under pressure will do the job well.
Changing to DOT 4 will give you better braking.If I am not mistaken Pulsar 220 which uses Bybre comes with Steel Braided line...

Yes sir, I was speaking about SS braided lines. So as per to you, is it advisable or not? I've definately decided to go in for Dot 4 but then just thought of brake lines cause, changing both oil & line at the same time might save some labour expenses. Also have read a lot of good reviews on the SS brake lines.

Kindly advice.
Thanks

WHY? If you were Ninja browsing xbhp you would know it wasnt recommended. Besides anything below 4k in the 5th and 6th would be lugging the engine which is bad!

CBR 250 R comes with a good Brake line and with DOT4 gives good braking.Steel braid is warranted for higher repetitive braking effort which will over a period of time make the brake spongy due to the line getting stressed and loosing it's property. Even the normal lines in our bikes have either Nylon or steel braid inside the line as a second layer,and it is this which prevents them from extending under normal use.....more like the tubes used for home cooking gas lines.
If you are particular go for the steel braided ones, else you can continue to use the stock line without issues.

so to all wise guys .. plz give ur some suggestion about my thought

MD24 - You've all the answers now; there're locally made steel braided lines available in the country for dirt cheap prices too.

Nagoo, since I know you personally...all the funda is fine except for one thing - holding the GT250R & CBR250R. You've to let go off one, may be C250R or GT250R & replace it with higher CC; it really doesn't give you a great difference.

any idea for the costs and insurance cover

can only one side of the fairing be bought or pair needs to be changed ?
