hi neel, ya bro that's from my golden quadrilateral record ride, back in 30th june

dankuni not sure cos no idea about those areas, just the road i am on

Congrats for your achievement....Great , where the log ?

Yes....that is the only place here in kolkata after that junction we can safely unleash our bike power, Not possible to know the exact name of the place other than local.

thanks
sorry broke the record but timing was 47 minutes delay, so next time, going this 26th

will it be ok to post the log cos ride is finally a failure, if u say i will then.....

Need your inputs!! My baby blade is having battery problem from day 1 even after replacing battery and checking the wire harness , it persists. It needs a long press to start up as well as horn sound changes while the headlights are on. Then , which one else is the culprit ?

Why not ? you can always share something like these so that other can learn who want to do this kind of ride...that sure help them (something to give back these community), Make a thread to "The Tourer" section and feel free to write about if you want to, but if you feel uncomfortable, then don't....no pressure.

It is up-to you.

but I see those line under your avatar, there must be something interesting to read/learn about your experience .

Wish you luck for your next attempt/ride.

Did you check the alternator which generates the power is ok (generates adequate voltage to charge battery at the Battery terminal by multimeter) ? did you check it with your SVC mech ?

Have to check the alternator though , SVC checked the whole wiring and battery voltage with multimeter with my presence to be fine and neglected the alternator part as they said if the alternator is not working properly then the battery would have died out soon . So, how to approach ? Another issue is coneset which has to be replaced for just 6k kms run . And not covered under warranty??

hi how do i get xbhp code for registering in the true wanderer contest..???

Friend I feel that your RR is the culprit. The reason is -
The battery takes the load only when you are idling, as you give throttle and RPM goes above 2k the RR takes up the load . As RR is not delivering the required stabilized DC the charging is not completed so battery can not give the required current for the starter motor hence the late starting and horn sound changes while the headlights are on. Ask the SVC to change the RR and see .
Cone set Change for what?You can always adj the nut and adj the play of the steering column .If cone surface has become uneven (rare) you can get it polished on a lathe.Think twice before changing .

Hello Guys,
I am finally getting a CBR250R.. Second hand though..
I had a look at the bike and test drove it..
No major issues except few scratches on the fender near the console.
I checked for rusting, wheel wobbling,fork bends, oil leakage, front and back tyre alignment, unusual noise from the engine at all speeds in 3rd and 4th gear.
No problem with the electricals. Oh Yea.. the plastic underneath the engine is flimsy and is split.. Can I fix it?
It is a Red one from the first batch (August) and has run 9000kms and three services done.

I am about to finalize the deal... Would anyone suggest me very important things that are easy to forget or I might have forgotten?
And how should I proceed from here with payment, transfering ownership, insurance and important stuff like that?

OT: Unreal Control On Honda CBR600RR - YouTube
to those to thought riding on one wheel was 'cool' etc..etc.. posting it here since it's a cbr(bigger one though). maybe a thread shud exist for 'some crazy offbeat great biking videos'

What is RR ? Sorry for the noob question.

I like to add here, not only the late starting happening in the H/L on, In my case (at day time) during heavy stop & go traffic when the fan spinning at it's high, the bike refuse to crank....this is scary. During heavy traffic maneuver I only shut down the engine if I stuck more than 1 or 2 min. I shut the engine off completely by turning keys at neutral. So no other way battery get drained.....I didn't keep on the system unnecessarily,until I start.

During commute, the horn sound get changed couple of times , sometimes @ high rpm, but back on normal in low rpm which is ridicules,

Even though in good roads (Low traffic) after 2-3 times honking, the horn sounds completely broken,but later back to normal...all are in day light situation.

And my bike battery regularly charged @ home if the bike is not out for 1 week.

Thnks. Will head ASC soon. Regarding cone set , I adjusted 3-4 times within 2 months and according to ASC it was due to weak cone set . There is thud sound felt even over small potholes and I dont see any fork oil leak . Hence left with the replacement as only option . By the way its around 1500 bucks quoted by ASC.

Your bike is having an alternator which produces the electricity as AC(alternating current) The voltage produced is varying depending on your RPM .This AC has to be Rectified and Regulated for use of different gadgets. This Bold letters make your RR(rectifier cum regulator)

Your prob. is quite natural, because at small RPM your bat. provides the current for the fan ,so drains fast. Can try to increase the capacity of bat.

These higher capacity bikes are for continuous running and not for BB traffic Air flow keeps the engine cool when in thick traffic you ride slow , engine heat increases so fan comes in continuously and drains the bat.

Now Horn prob. Your horn is working on DC. So inside there is a reed type switch which makes and breaks the contact to make the diaphragm to vibrate and produce the sound. changing the gap of this switch by adj. a small bolt at the back of your horn your problem can be solved . Contact any auto electrician . If any short is there in the coil, he can check it by measuring the current drain. IF yes change the horn.

@ Karthic M

Cone set is not weak and strong. pl. understand the steering column better from a local mechanic . In short, The fork rods are fixed on 2 triangle plates At the lower end you have the ball race in which you have 14 or so balls . a rod with thread on top which goes thro' the top plate, there comes the cone which is a solid mating surface.
At most ask to see the balls are proper in number and shape.(Chances of less balls is there as in factory it is done by a magnetic picker and not manually)

Ask the fork to be cleaned and fill proper oil of correct measure and check the spring inside the fork for any problem. I hope this will save you. Don't blindly follow the SVC

Guys really need an answer on this soon..
Its run 9000km and I am buying it for 1.1 lacs.
He had fitted a very powerful horn, asked him to remove it as it might screw up the battery.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hi Avenger,
Go ahead n buy the bike. The horns are not going to drain out your battery as I am using a twin horn set up in my CBR, no problem at all,
Unless u ride less n honk more.. (just ensure the horns are fed through a relay from the Battery directly to use the existing switch but not load up the existing wiring.)

Though a lot of us are averse to use of loud horns, in Indian context in my opinion a loud horn is a safety device one cannot do without.

Go ahead n enjoy your ride.
