Ha.. Ha.. Water entering spark plug and tank?? Did Honda designers forgot to secure them?Originally posted by abhiwar View Postguys today i went to do PDI
of my bike as i picked it from direct godwn so this PDI thig was pending..sope today i went to do this @ Pilot Honda and they did full wash and PDI . Now after Pdi bike was behaving odd pick up was down and after riding few kms bike stalled for several times 
. So somehow i cam back to my house and called Honda guys . They said it might be because Water has entered into Spark Plug Cap and also In Tank so he advised me not to ride bike until they fix this issue .
My 1 paisa advice Take Caution while / whenever you wash this bike .. ! also it is much difficult to locate Spark Plug ( pata nahi kaha dal diya) i think Tank need to be opened up for cleaning purpose ...! Darnnnn.....
Now, the CBR owners have to carry a big umbrella in case if it rains while riding.

Never wash your bike with pressurized water.
Sure sounds water entering in tank problem.
Since bike is fully faired, I sense a remote chance of water getting in to spark plug.
Anyway, get it checked n let us know.
No, not really.Originally posted by ravi@17bhp View PostHa.. Ha.. Water entering spark plug and tank?? Did Honda designers forgot to secure them? Now, the CBR owners have to carry a big umbrella in case if it rains while riding.
Washing your bike on your own is sufficient.
I guess this can happen to any other bike which is exposed to dangerous pressurized water used for car / bike wash.The Zmaniac - 2 wheeled enthusiast

It often takes a humiliating overtake to understand that an early jump off the red light won't help them lead the pact. All I want to say is - Go after green.Comment

Congratulations to everyone. Do post the feedbacks.There's lot to it other than saddle....

The bike is washed at Honda Service Station. I guess they would not use pretty dangerous high pressured jets. Of course, they would wash hundreds of bikes everyday.Originally posted by The Zmaniac View Post
With full fairing and the spark plug tucked inside, do you think water can go in side the spark plug? Never happened to any bike that I have used with open spark plugs. Water will not enter into spark plug, unless you purposefully use high pressure jet continuously on spark plug.
Keeping aside this, lets see what experts at HASS say about the knocking problem.Last edited by ravi@17bhp; 05-08-2011, 05:52 PM.HH Karizma (Current) || CBF Stunner PGM-FI || Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler

Its not enough to know how to twist the throttle; you must have judgement to know when and where to do it.Comment

Washing for long time does not increase any chance. There is one washing center near my house and they will clean the bike with care that they spend almost 25-30 min on each bike. Water will not enter easily into spark plug unless you directly spray high pressure jet, and that too the chance is very less as the spark plug is generally well secured. People ride in rains for hours and days. The case here is the bike is fully faired and there is not any chance for the high pressure jet reaching the sparkplug. I am sure there will be some other cause here. If the water goes into spark plug, then there is some problem with the spark plug setup.Originally posted by abhiwar View PostDont wana argue here but they ASC guy was super excited when he saw my CBR and did good 20mins wash and yes its not necessary that one need to do it purposely any thing can happen ....trust me on this .

Water getting into petrol tank is more serious, and should be properly investigated so that other owners can prevent it happening to their CBR 250.

You are right. They might have used the normal funda; "water in tank/spark plug".Originally posted by ravi@17bhp View Post
Unlike any other bikes, CBR 250R should have many sensors and other electronic parts. They are prone to these kind of issues due to high water pressure while washing.
Again disappointed here, if the issue is caused due to the high water pressure. These are the basic faults by Honda service, which cannot be accepted. Ninja owners are very well informed about this (high water pressure) and other to do/not to do things before providing the bikes.
Don't compare this with any other bikes/cars as they will not face any such issues. I have no idea about ZMR and R15.
Note : Even if it is anything else, they might tell it was water in the tank. I lost trust in Honda India.

In car wash it is a regular feature since the water wash guy knows nothing about these things, so in Maruthi and Lancer Service centers I had seen them covering the sparkplug, distributor areas with plastic bags before sending to water wash, and after wash high pressure air will be directed at these places..In ZMA /ZMR at the mouth of the tank opening there is a hole for drain purpose and cap has a one way vent...The spark plug has an additional "O" ring at the neck to seal with the cap rubber....gives good protection under wet condition.Originally posted by sreehari_r1 View PostDon't compare this with any other bikes/cars as they will not face any such issues.
