What do you think? After that the repetitive questions will be stopped? Another bloke will suggest saying the FAQ's should appear at the end of every last post!!! Even if that were incorporated, some bloke will say the FAQ's should automatically open the moment he thinks about them

Point - As long as people don't have eyes & mind to go through things, no amount of help will help!!!

lol...

you are rite. But I can also see a couple of positive responses in that favor. My point is if we can add this as sticky or include in the first page a new prospective owner/person who checks the ownership, fairly can have an idea about the bike, which I assume we can see less amount of repeated questions. Usually a new member will be checking the first page first

. May be I am wrong

+1 to you buddy! Good idea.

I have few doubts about buying a slip on for my CBR. Is there a post/thread about it as well or it has not been discussed yet?

Whoever asked me to add the links under my signature...now you guys tell me!!!

hey i got that doubt only after reading those faqs.

btw, today the rpm went upto 2k and then settled at 1.5k. (I should have waited a few days before asking this question

) Just using CBR for the past three days. so sorry for bugging with stupid questions

next time i will read the faqs once more before asking questions

i've fixed cigg. lighter under seat.. gave direct wiring from battery with one fuse in between.. thus no playing with CBR's wiring.. if ny thing goes wrong that fuse breaks circut n every thing is safe.. Mounting it under seat even helps to lock the mobile or I-POD while charging in parking etc..

There is no risk bro! I know what i am doing and what i need very well and it wouldnt be altering the stock settings, no wire cuts and completely revesible.

I use my cellphone/tablet for gps routes oftenly and also carry a lot of gadgets. And Its not just charging cellphones but a lot more and will update all the advantages when done.
The reason i asked this here is to gain any inputs from guys who have done any such thing on CBR.

Great!! Thats what i am doing execpt i plan to source the supply from the city lights with help of a spilter so that i dont cut the wires and can be used only when the ignition and city lights are turned on. So, the connection would be from tail light saving a long wire too. What fuse have you used? I have noticed that even after harsh washing or rains, the water doesn't enter the under seat compartment.. So its weather proof too. Any pics of the socket mount?

Are you sure its only Pilot Activ thats going to be offered? If Pilot 2 drops in its going to be VFM! Its a dual compound tyre with hard compound at the centre for less wear and soft compound at the sides for cornering grip. I hope the tyre companies wake up and offer more choices for the 250R.

With that said, anybody seen the MRF Zapper ad with the 250 cc bikes? It also had a CBR 250R there but i was told Zapper's speed rating is very poor.

Also going to give my bike for engline block repainting. They finally wake up after 3 months and decide to take up my case for repainting. However im still in two minds of handing over the bike for 4-5 days at the ASc. Also wondering if they know how much torque to apply on the engine mount nuts or else i would suffer from serious vibrations later on

New CeeBeeR in city..

Hey Guys...

Got my black ABS CeeBeeR 3 days back..
I am staying in Chennai (TN).

I liked both red+silver and black+silver CBR but just fell in love with Full black( except silencer muffler and alloys) CBR.. So got my CBR upper body silver parts painted to black. The paint work was taken care by DIDAR HONDA themselves and costed me 3500 (including Taxes).

Couldn't get owner's manual as it was out of stock, but downloaded it from net.

@aargee: really appreciate the posts #7500, #7600 and #8200, cleared most of my doubts..

@yashwanthms: dude even I am facing the same issue as mentioned in your post #9557.
i.e. If I ride cbr @gear 2 upto rpm 5k, and then leave the throttle, there is a "thuk" kind of sound. Same thing is observed @gear 3. at RPMs higher than 5k, the sound still can be heard if observed very carefully. So thinking to show it to ASC guys this saturday..

Not sure how to upload pics in the post..
Please check this link for few pics..

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

Nithesh, a guy here is getting his block replaced for paint chipping issue. I dont think repainting would help or last.

So far AFAIK, PSD is the best yet known for cbr but the warranty(ISI) and availability is the issue. Michelin would be great addition but i fear would be too costly. Anybody here tried the Duke 200's front tyre on the CBR??

What is this kimshine? Being a long time owner you're too missing those posts on #7600 & #8200

Tks & good to know its serving the purpose

Then its time to update the thread;

DO NOT run or shift gears at so low RPMs & obviously the vehicle will jerk; I asked ppl to report riding in excess of 4-4.5K RPM & give a try & none of them got back!!!

Is it MRF? What size is it? Official site doesn't contain that data huh!!!

Yes. Its MRF. The front is exactly the same size i.e 110/70-17 and is said to be very grippy by the duke owners (I even read somewhere that despite the duke is lighter, it feels too heavy to push the bike and they blame these tires for it

). The rear is one size up at 150/XX-17. So that wouldn't be useful to us unless one doesn't mind going over stock. Once i did hear from a stranger uncle from Pune who rides a CBR250R and his son too has his own CBR250R which had these tires installed (both front and rear) and were way better than contigo.. But no first hand experience.
