I get 34- 37 kmpl (mixed driving conditions)
you get best mileage if your rpm range is in between 4500- 5500
atleast thats how I drive

CBR250R:
Riding Very Very Carefully and sanely with special focus on RPM - City: 35+ ; Highway: 40+
Riding Normally - City: 28-33 ; Highway: 30-38
Ripping it hard - City: 20-25 ; Highway: 20-30

I have actually never heard anyone's CBR250R give less than 20kmpl.

Saw the bike at the showroom. Pics below:

I am getting about 29-30(mostly in city riding). This data is very accurate as i am tracking mileage fo over 10k kms now. The funny part is that i get less mileage on highways (about 25) as i rip the bike very hard and mostly in 5th gear and change to 6th only after 140kmph.

with 9k on odo and filling fuel tank 2 tank.. 9.72 lt for 750 else sometimes 10..

city condition - never gone below 33 but never above 35

city + highway - 35-37.

highway sane riding 75kmph - 85 kmph - 40 +

hard ripping once for 220 km.. hyd to kurnool in 2 hours odd - 200 km odd.. it came down to 27..


15-16 is a joke.. check if they have a 600 cc rr engine under the hood.

misfiring or placebo.. or .....

posting seperately as this is a query about i issue. can be a placebo..


my bike feels like misfiring .. only between 2500-2000 rpm..

this is not the issue while accelerating but while de-acceleration...

in this particular band the bike feels like the old days when fuel use to get over in normal carb bikes
and they used to make sound of the engine going down.. as soon as it touches 1800 rpm .. the engine
gets back to normal...

this does not happens while revving and let it get back to idle in neutral.. only while running in some gear..

coolant top-up is needed after every 12-15k km.. though you can keep a bottle with you and top it up.
else change completely to some other brand and keep topping up ?

what does that mean " get used very fast " doing 12k in a month is difficult job unless you hellbent over a trip.

how often are you getting the coolant topped up ??

the call.....


come this 16-12-12


calling all cbr

place to be- gurunak college, velechery.

time-post hunt lunch(2-2:30).
association with DIDAR honda and SPARTAN pro gear.

The meeting will a session on group riding etiquettes taken by SPARTAN pro gear.

I'm gonna get delivery in 3 days, and I can't stop thinking about which running-in procedure to follow!

Motoman's theory seems too risky; I am NOT going to rip a brand new engine. At the other end, sticking to a certain RPM is not practical either; after reading aargee's initial engine problems, I think i'ts best if i vary the rpms, increasing throttle gradually, no engine knocking, and not go above 7000 rpm for the first 200 kms. The showroom guys have already ridden it 20 km, and they have to register it, which means another 15-20 km. Grr. So much for the personal touch.

Another thing: the sales guys cannot find the battery warranty. They say the battery warranty is included in the bike warranty. Can somebody clarify if this is indeed the case?

Well, I do not remember the exactly, the coolant needs to be filled around the kilometers you have mentioned, but the problem is not with the coolant consumption. Rather I wanted some off the shelf coolants/engine oil which can be used instead of going to the service center(s).

stick to company manual.. and start revving it gradually after 500 km..

once a while do give short burst of high rpm's

make sure the filter gets changed at first service as there have been cases of SVC guys not changing or forgetting filter replacement. the first service is when the filter accumulates the maximum debris of metal..

Just a query..
Are you sure the bike is not LUGGING..??


Yeah.. I am in..

Nice lines..

Correction::
Meeting Point :: Didar Egmore.
Meeting Time :: 7:30 am.

I'll be updating regarding this..

BTW.. strikepackage dude.. may I know your name?

The biggest confusion that most of us had when we first laid hands on our blade's throttle.. :P

Let me put few points which I think most of us mis-understand--
1. Motoman's theory is not wrong. The only important point that people forget is getting your bike engine properly warmed up first before throttling.
2. I am in agreement with the moto mans 'theory' about the setting of the piston ring (then again I am not automobile engineer)
2. Riding at low rpm is the worst thing to do to your Bike.
3. Our blade is not some 90's bike with old age engineering. Its a new Gen bike which need not be ridden at below 5k rpm during run in.
4. CBR250R manual doesn't say you to ride slow. It Says:
a. Avoid Full Throttle Starts -- i.e. avoid trying wheelie/burn outs.
b. Avoid Rapid Acceleration -- i.e. throttle gradually.


What I followed while my blade's run in --
1. Start the blade in neutral and leave it like that till temperature guage shows atleast 2 bars.
2. Ride Normally as if your blade is not at Run In. BUT avoid rapid acceleration.
3. I rode my blade till 120-130 while in Run in. BUT with gradual acceleration.

Again.. Its just my understanding and hope it helped..

Welcome to the club..
Please do join the 2 facebook groups.
If possible, come for 16th CBR250R meet at Didar Egmore.

Ride safe.

the issue is while de-accelerating.. either in 1st gear or 2nd gear .. the sound suddenly changes like.. running out of fuel and gets back to normal.. it doe snot happene while accelerating or running at a steady pace.. thats why i am confused..

no change is pickup/power.. no change is FE.. everything is perfectly normal like before.. but just the sudden *** bloop bloop** and normal..

Gave my bike to Punjab Honda, Rajkot at 0900h for the front brake parts replacement. There was also an issue about the steering.

Got the bike back at 1500h with both issues rectified. The brake system was replaced FOC and the steering was loosened up a bit. Plus, they adjusted and lubed the chain, again FOC. I was surprised that there were no labour charges. Yes, the bike is within warranty. Yet, isn't labour charged from the customer? No complaints, the job was done in super quick time and professionally so.

By steering was Loose.. do you mean it felt like as if the steering was disconnected from the bike? I have this issue right now where the bike's handlebar feels absolutely lose. As if the handlebar is no longer a part of the bike.. i cannot lean without it feeling like my handlebar's gonna come off the bike anytime soon. Can Also feel it "slightly moving" if i may say so everytime i apply the brake. Could the turning bar end have anything to do with this? Very odd
