I asked for chain lube & clean and they told me its Rs140 only for cleaning and lube both. And have just removed my saree guard bcz it does not go well with the bike

Here are some of the Pictures with my nephew on it.

Sorry guys don't know how but pictures are attached twice as first time it was saying some database error and then when i uploaded them again it is now duplicated .

the problem is that, my bike's chain slidder came off on the first day itself...., went to ASC but they dint have that part, so the Sc guy gave some temporary fix, with the broken slidder, but it was making sound, and after 2 days it came off, some how got that part from chennai, they fix it and after 3 days the slidder came off again, i guess they are not fixing it properly or somthing is wrong with the alingment i guess...any suggestion will be really helpfull..

P200 is undoubtedly good... No doubt.. but i wish to change, 5 yrs of long journey its been, looking for an upgrade.. gets very hard to wait... & secondly i dint like the color pallatte of 2013 edition. its jus merely a color change. so wanna get one bfre the color pattern changes... Better quality, no doubt, hopefully though. 2013 are scheduled only by may or so... tats gonna be a long wait.

HI vicky, Actually i own a ZMR...and was just cruising by the CBR thread and i saw ur post. See brother according to my limited knowledge check the following on your bike:
1. Fuse Box for loose connection of the ignition fuse.
2. Key Connector- The key hole...spray some anti rust...it may have lost connection and it must have acted as if you havent inserted your key and turned it to on.
3. Battery connection and the battery to be checked. Check the connection right from your key hole to the battery, At times what happens is...the wire tends to stretch when the handle bar is turned to a particular direction...and may get a connection loss....!! make a few trials with ur bike in neutral.....start the engine and turn the handle bar to both sides slowly...!!

Apart from it i dont think there can be any such issues with the bike....another part that can cause such Engine kills is a fault in the ECU....but your bike would have never worked ever after if it had an issue with it.... !!
These are just primary checks that can be done....!!!

You certainly want a nod from someone and here it is... Go buy the 2012 CBR250R and I can vouch it wont be a light year difference in the quality of 2013 model compared to the current. Just a marketing gimmick from every manufacturers to please their customers. It will the same wine in a same bottle with different colours. If there is any change in the internal components or any major change it's worth waiting. I fear that wont happen at least for the next couple of years or so.
So get your lazy ass and confused mind to the showroom and book the bike ASAP and enjoy the ride(pun intended).


!!!Cheers!!!
Happy Buy... Ride Safe...

I have recently replaced my ABS front brake pads at 6k kms and its barely been a week and about 100+ kms and to my surprise there was no "Bite" when i applied the brakes in the evening today. Then upon reaching home i inspected the wear mark and to my shock the marker has reached the end position(where you know when to replace).
SO what is this about? Incorrect fitting of the pads? Or did they miss something?

That is strange..!! and even your first replacement was a little early i feel...but it depends on your breaking pattern. Check for wheel alingment and the break setup...!! Did u feel the bike running a little hard..as if the breaks were depressed...!!
Also there are possibilities that u apply a lot of immediate breaking....coz thts when the abs comes into picture and gives a pumping stance to the breaks.....but still in any case mere 100kms is too early for replacement..!!!!
Take your bike to the guy who changed the break pads and inform him about the same..!! Also look in for the break oil levels....and see to it if u completely replace ur break oil there is no air left in the break oil tube...see to it that the mechanic pumps out all the air from the tube...!! The oil from the tube should squirt out with force when the cap is open.... And then tigthen the nuts..!!And brother also always check for the genuineness of the spares that u get replaced. There are hell lot of duplicates in d market...!!

If you like current color options then just close ur eyes and pick up CBR 250R. You will never regrect ur decision. Its a very good bike and well worth an upgrade from P200.

A couple of posts ago, I had spoken about the lack of illumination from the stock HL bulb. I have a set of Halonix 60/55 H4s from my earlier car but they were the same wishy-washy stuff. Members advised me to install an OSRAM NB bulb. I booked it in a shop here in Rajkot and got it yesterday for Rs 1050 after a discount. A single was not available so I got a set meaning to change my P 150 Classic's setup too.

Today, in the morning, I installed it after much cursing and swearing - the HL bulb area is well nigh impossible to access with the cowling on so that had to come off first. Then there was a large loom impinging on the rubber cup which had to be shifted and simultaneously, the cup had to be removed (after the connector was eased off, of course). Also, one connector, perched on a bracket of its own, had to be detached. Finally, the stock bulb was off (an el-cheapo one, branded "Life" ) and the NB was fitted in its place, cup back on, connector on, cowling on and then, wait for adequate darkness to arrive.

As for the earlier test, I took her out on the Jamnagar highway and the difference was immediately palpable. Some comments:

Luminescence The wattage is the same yet, the NB seems quite brighter than stock. It is whiter and brighter than the stock one. Object get illuminated at greater distances - I was able to spot a cyclist wearing a black shirt and dark trousers atleast 30 odd metres before stock.

Spread The spread is definitely better, especially over the left verges of the road. After the change, the reflector is firing slightly higher and I did not have the requisite screwdriver to adjust the beam, will do so tommorrow and post the results.

Reach Again, the reach is definitely longer. Presently, the high beam is getting lost a bit in the far distance. A beam adjustment to my liking - a foot or so above the parellel level of the road - will confirm this enhanced reach, I am sure.

Clarity The beam is much sharper now. There is a clearer delineation between the bright and dark edges.

The above benefits are most sharply thrown into focus (ok, sorry for the mutiple puns, but the lexicon is apt) when one reaches true highway conditions - dark road, no reflectors, no streetlights. Here, the reach and spread of the high beam combine to give far greater illumination.

What does this mean to me in real life? I can cruise comfortably at 85 to 95 kph for extended periods, traffic permitting, versus the slow 60 to 65 that I could do earlier. I am more comfortable with the lit road and can spot potential threats atleast some time before they become real ones.

Will the NB burn thru truck sealed beams? No way, it is just a puny 60 watt high beam.

Will it burn thru sedan 60/55 beams? No way, cars have TWO HLs as opposed to one here.

I am happy that I have got a reasonable improvement without taking the more expensive route of HIDs.

Do the chain job on your own, ample number of cleaners and lubricants around. Check the thread for info. Why spend 300 bucks on a simple job?

And a woman becomes more beautiful with some wrinkles Seriously, it is not worth the effort to get the scratches removed; they will return in double quick time so better to leave them on as a foil against nazar lagna!

This undoubtedly is a daylight robbery I would say. They would have fixed a lil old brake pad. Similar incident occurred to me. I changed my brake pad at 7K and it lasted only upto 10.5K. First I thought it may be the bad quality of the pads. After that replace the next one lasted around 16K. I had discussed with @Aargee about this and we couldn't find a reason for such differences. From some other sources I got the info that the svc(Marikar Motors TVM, Kerala) which I replaced the first time does these type of fraud things. Did you replaced it from Bangalore?
In my case I couldn't argue with them coz they have an edge to tell it lasted 3.5K kms. But for your case give them a piece of mind. Its not acceptable at all.

Bro, I am in almost the same situation as you Currently own a pulsar 220 and want to upgrade to cbr and also cannot wait till 2013! Please do let me know when you are planning for the purchase...because if you are planning on buying in the immediate future, maybe we can discuss and proceed together (regarding showroom,service after buying etc as i'm also from Bangalore) Also even if there is some improvement in component quality, i guess dimensions wont change and we can also replace/retrofit the parts if we are not satisfied (expert comment needed)

very well said it's always better to get replaceable parts replaced right in front of our eyes including engine oil and oil filter. I have seen ASC people skip changing oil filter in first service myself.They just don't care about d consequences .

Binoy, you got that absolutely right bro... that exactly what i wanted to hear... . Booking it Soon Thaaankkk youuu

Cheers
Take care...

Riot, ​ Yes i'll be booking it soon. Thank you..


Arjun, hehe.. the wait is getting harder & harder... sure... i am planning to book by nov 1st week. I would be booking from Silicon Honda, R.v road. Forum members suggests that place is good..

Hi Sir,

Nice to hear that you went for NB instead of HIDs. I was in same dilemma about upgrading my stock headlight. I am wondering did you consider Philips extreme vision/diamond vision as well? I heard they are equally good. Osram Nightbreaker are available in pair here. Is it possible to get one single NB unit?

I did visit today.. It was late almost closing time for them, i told them about the lack of bite and the oil and filter change that was supposed to take place during my 3rd service but they skipped despite knowing that my block was recently replaced and its just run-in again. The SVC guy was like "Sir can you come on Monday so we can fix everything" and i was like " Umm yeah and ride around on a bike with no front brake?? How can you be so dumb?" And he took the bike in, 5 mins later he brought her back and the bite was there, but not as much as it felt when i took her out from the SVC post 3rd service. Got exams goin on so cant be arsed to go back again until Monday. You're right.. i too think they mustve replaced it with a donor bike's pads because that was the only thing they "Apparently" had in stock for me..
I'l see what happens on Monday now. The wear mark is at the halfway mark already.. and i dont even think the pad's seated properly..
