      Hey all,

      Finally booked my cbr 250r at silicon honda bangalore, they are gonna deliver me the vehicle in another 10-15 days...
      I just wanted ask you guys is it safe to ride this bike from the bangalore to my place which is like 250 kms away (i live near shimoga) and due to longer booking period over here at my place , i had to book the vehicle at bangalore....

      Safe to take the new born baby on National highway and make a trip of 250 kms ?

        Absolutely no problems at all! But this is the most critical period for any new vehicle. So make sure, you donot do any sudden accelerations, and make sure tha you ride it across the rev-range in all the gears. Thing is, on the highways we tend to leisurely clonk into a high gear and stay there all day long. Although, it might not be a big issue, it is very much advised to use all the gears and all rev-ranges in the first 500 kms, this will free up the engine in the long run.

        So just remember to not accelerate suddenly or lug the engine(riding in higher gear than required, say anything less than 3k-2.5k rpm from 3rd gear onwards). The bike itself will not give you any problems, mechanically. Be sure to do a thorough PDI before delivery. You can find a PDI checklist somewhere on this thread. For starters, check engine oil level, coolant level, chain slack and lubrication, Gear lever comfort as per your feet.

          No problems.. But take care, the 25 horses will tempt to you to push them to their limits when they see a open road or a highway in you case.. But it's not the time to do that.. Stick to run in procedures and don't let the engine heat up too much.. Take a 5 min break every 30min and let it cool down. And never ever lug the engine..

          The above post looks like a motomans method.. I wouldn't suggest you to do that... Stick to the manual. Have fun

          Cheers

            Today i went to vrindavan - mathura from new delhi and return. used Yamuna expressway.took approx 2 hours and 30 minutes to cover 188kms(approx)(one side).I dont know its good or average type. this is the first time when i did 376kms in a single day so feeling damn tired and wrist is also paining alot may be because its a first time
            I took my bike upto 147kmph. and rode 135-142kmph most of the time(constantly max 15 mins).
            i changed shims day before yesterday so there wasnt very much noise after long ride.
            nothing to write about yamuna expressway as its just a long straightttttttttttttt (with very slight turns) where you can take/maintain speed of 140kmph for long time
            uploading some pics.

            Moderators please delete duplicate images. I am not able to delete them and uploading taking lots of time.

                Changed brake fluids to dot 4 (both front nd rear cbr std)..well never imagined just changing the brake liquid will give dis much brake improvement ..changed rear pads to p220 pads can't comment on this as the rear brakes hardly have any bite as the pads are new..thinking of changing front brake line to steel braided one..

                      Thanks both of you for advice.
                      I was worried since the bike is new and taking it for 250 kms of ride on a open stretch in a single day may affect engine....also maintaining speeds below 80 kmph must do fine,right ?

                      Regards

                        Would be best if you keep 60kph as the max till at least 1500 kilometers, no sudden bursts of the throttle, and dont drive in taller gears if not needed

                          Have you read the motomans break in method? And more importantly, have you read the CBR 250r owner manual? If you did spend some of your time researching it, you would have realized that a). What is suggested is poles apart from motoman's method where you are suggested to do short bursts of sudden acceleration and deceleration, both of which I have advised to stay away from. b). The manual gives only one statement on run-in period "Avoid sudden acceleration" and that's the cumulative advice Honda gives as far as CBR 250R is concerned.

                          I have no qualms with people not having knowledge, but please spare the posts where you are not fully aware to avoid misleading the new people here?

                            Keep it under 4k RPM till 500 kms, under 5k for the next 500 and under 6k till you hit 2k on the ODO. But, you should rev up the range for short intervals. The engine must get used to all RPMs in all gears.
                            In short, ensure that the engine gets to know how to react from idling till 7-8k RPMs on the tacho in the run in period. Its fine if you cross 100 clicks within 500 kms as well, but keep it for 10 sec at max!
                            Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

                              I disagree.
                              According to my limited knowledge during run-in period, one should drive in all gears (DO NOT LAG THE ENGINE- driving in 6th gears @ 2k). Speed does n`t matter, what does matter is the RPM, try n keep it below 5k. You can drive @ 100Km/hr if your machine allows you to do so @ 5k rpm. Drive in all gears. Initially city driving is the best for such period and you have to continually change gears.
                              These are just my 2 cents. Anyone plz correct me if i am wrong

                                What i meant was if you are doing 40kph or less, for example, you ideally shouldn't be in sixth gear. Something of what you call "lagging the engine". You can and and should drive in all gears!
