Re: Honda CBR 250R

Got my clipons aligned and now i fell lil comfortable , i will update regarding the elbow pain once i do a long ride. and reg wobbling today i was doing 120kmph and left my hands off handle and saw no wobbles at all and when the bike decelerated to 90kmh wobbles started and they were there till 70kmph and even at 100kmph i dint find any wobbles. Dont know why is this happening and there were no cross winds too when i was checking.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I have made a fender extender using a unicorn's fender. Had to do a lot of cuttings markings etc so I should say it still needs some grinding work at the corners. My concern is wont the added weight from the crack my cbr's front fender ?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Looks like good stuff.. as a other option you can use a normal rubber flap and just stick it from inside using fevi quick. .

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Yes i thought of that too. But two reasons prevented me from using rubber flap one is aesthetics and second is that rubber becomes hard over time and cuts off. I am looking for a permanent solution. Will just spray paint it with Matt black and get it revited permanently.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

YOU are supposed to keep the bike straight on main stand. The CBR comes only with side stand.
So hold the bike straight and check the window.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I was sitting on the bike hence it was upright.

Re: Honda CBR 250R


Please do warm up ur engine and then check the level.

{ JUST FOR INFO :- More over there are chances that an engine can get seized if u run an engine without an engine oil for about 20 minutes that dint happened with u ! } .

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Correct me if I am wrong guys but engine oil is always checked when the engine has cool down...

Re: Honda CBR 250R


Yes of course. I check in that way for my Yamaha. But if u read user manual of CBR there they have quoted that we need to warm up the engine for few minutes and then check the engine oil. Might be CBR works in this way :P

Re: Honda CBR 250R

The CBR manual recommends the engine to be warmed for a couple of minutes and then the level to be checked.

Yet, in my experience, the best way to check the REAL oil level is to do the check after a good, long ride when the engine has been warmed to its regular operating temp.I have used this method for every single vehicle I have owned, two and four wheelers. And have never, ever had any low oil issues.

My reasoning is that the quantity of lube oil is best guaged when the engine has run for some time, not a few minutes of "warm-up". That way, all the oil channels are filled to the proper oil pressure and there is min oil in the sump. Now when the engine cools down, this circulating oil returns to the sump. If the level check is done on a cold engine, the result will be a reading of oil levels that would be erroneous. Similarly, if the engine is only warmed up for a few minutes, the oil pressure in the channels would not be at its optimal level and again, the level would be misinterpreted.

The reasoning of the CBR might be that it makes do with a really low sump level when the engine is at operating temp, thereby rducing weight etc. Some true-blue auto engr is needed to shed further light on this, esp as the bike does not have an oil pressure guage.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

The engine was warm, around a a bar was left in the temperature gauge, the engine did not seize up, but the gear box became very clunky.

You mean only 1 bar has raised or 1 bar is left out ?

# I mean to say engine will seize if you are running the engine without engine oil #

Please read the user manual once again buddy starting from page 1, you need to lean many things from that .
