Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hello.

Today I was cleaning my bike and I notice the crankcase breather tube coming out, as it has been raining here in Bangalore I rode it in the rain for more than one occasion. Now the manual recommends that the crankcase tube/ breather be opened when driving in wet conditions.

So what does the crank case breather drain? and how to open the plug?

Also which coolant can I manually put in the bike? any brands etc?

Thank you

Manan.

I think u are referring to petrol drain pipe( one that drains rain water).

Crank case pipe is different and is not to be opened as dust may enter into the engine.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Dear CBR owners!

I really need some sensible advice on buying a Honda CBR250. I would like (not need) to ride a bigger bike. It is an ego thing, I'll admit. I currently own a Unicorn. Here is what I like about the unicorn that I hope to find in the CBR:

1. Comfort. The Uni is comfotable. You can ride it half-asleep. How comfy are the CBR's seats? For pillon passengers? Can women ride saddle-side? i.e both legs on one side?

2. Refinement: I rode an (the highly acclaimed) R15 intermittently for a month. Then I realised what a gem the Uni is. Absolutely refined and smooth. It feels like cuddling against a kitten. Does the CBR have the same level of refinement?

3. VIbrations: Same as above. I've heard the CBR has more vibes compared to the CBR150. Because it has a larger cylinder. The R15 had some vibes and it would leave my arms mildly numb after 30 mins (like the FZ). Can the CBR munch miles on end like the vibe-free Unicorn?

4. PICKUP: I do like the R15's pickup, but it is too fast for crowded traffic conditions. It requires you to brake and go fast. The Uni on the other hand is not as capable in terms of pickup or braking, but can plod at 30 with no issues. I would like the CBR to likewise be relaxed in peak traffic conditions. How does it measure up? I am expecting it to be capable at low speeds and steady at 100.

5. Seating posture: I feared I would squash my man-bits against the tank on the R15. I am hoping the CBR has a more gently posture - midway between the Uni and R15. How do you feel after riding for 30 mins in peak traffic?

6. Ride comfort: The R15 is stiffly sprung, so much that I fear riding it over potholes. A search on this thread tells me that the CBR has soft suspension to soakup potholes. The only bike I rode that gave me this experience was the Suzuki GS150 (better than the Unicorn). Pls enlighten me on this.

7. Are servicing costs along the lines of the R15? A bit pricey but manageable?

8. How good are the lights?

Excuse my rather abrupt and simplistic questions, I am not a road warrior. I haven't even test ridden the CBR, but what the info I need will not be gained over a 5 minute testride. Getting one is hard enough.

I guess I've grown accustomed to the Uni (like a wife) and I now feel attracted to take on a mistress in the CBR. I do not want to let go of the Unicorn.
Also is it the Karishma ZMR I need to look at? I'd rather settle for a used CBR instead, for abot the same cost as a new ZMR.

Thank you

No I am referring to the crankcase breather tube as referred in the manual, it is a reddish tube with a plug, the manual recommends to open if driving under rainy conditions, I need to know how to open the plug.

Individual thinking may differ. My first bike was a unicorn, I agree its one of the best 150cc out there. Now coming to the point -
1) It hardly takes 3 days to get used to the riding, initially u may get wrist pain but once u lean to adapt it will disappear completely. Both rider and pillion seats are very comfortable n would say in par with unicorn. But not for ladies sitting to one side. Not at all advisable and I never tried too.
2) Cbr 150and r15 are pretty smooth but not the 250, it sounds like a grinder

but the sound is manly and its alltogether a different kind, and u will learn to love it. Exhaust note with full throttle is quite a music for the ears.

3) vibrations are minimum. Since v don't have to completely lean over on the handle vibrations are manageable and doesn't make our body numb.
4) Pickup is very good , infact r15 seems very lame at times when it comes to pickup in straights as well as in cities. Being a 150 its more than what v can expect from it.

5)Once u get used to it , it's a bliss to ride the bike , manhood is safe as our thighs are clamped to the tank tightly(I make it a point though

) and its a very good tourer. Not a tract oriented bike. Good for cities as well as highways.

6) Ride comfort is amazing, takes pot holes easily. Perfect for Indian roads and touring. Bad for cornering at high speeds. Ride comfort is at par with karizma.
7) I find servicing is quite worthy for a 250cc bike. Not sure of r15 prices. But currently it's the cheapest 250 to maintain. Spare parts are quite cheap as they r manufactured in India.

8) lights are great with55/60( normal bikes have 35/35watt bulbs) watt bulbs, although they would be better with projectors. Low beam is too good and high beam is average.

9) I would not suggest a zmr due to its bulkiness , lack of radiator and expensive spares! Yes spare parts of zma and zmr are more expensive than that if a cbr's

I bought a used zma and spent almost half of purchasing price on renovation. All the best.

1. Comfort. The Uni is comfotable. You can ride it half-asleep. How comfy are the CBR's seats? For pillon passengers? Can women ride saddle-side? i.e both legs on one side?

For the rider it is comfortable, think of the position as a zma with clip on handle bars, the pillion position is also comfortable. The padding on the seat is decent but you can put extra padding if you want a more comfy seat. A woman may not be able to ride saddle side as the design of the pillion seat is not such seating posture. And in my opinion saddle seating is dangerous.

2. Refinement: I rode an (the highly acclaimed) R15 intermittently for a month. Then I realised what a gem the Uni is. Absolutely refined and smooth. It feels like cuddling against a kitten. Does the CBR have the same level of refinement?

That is purely subjective, if you want the low rpm cruising in clogged city roads you will need a little bit of patience as the cbr is slightly heavy so pick up is a bit slow? otherwise on the high way it is butter smooth.

3. VIbrations: Same as above. I've heard the CBR has more vibes compared to the CBR150. Because it has a larger cylinder. The R15 had some vibes and it would leave my arms mildly numb after 30 mins (like the FZ). Can the CBR munch miles on end like the vibe-free Unicorn?
The Cbr in my opinion only has minute vibrations if you rev it hard above 6 k mark on the tachometer. That said in the lower ranges there are no vibrations and the vibrations attributed to the larger cubic capacity is, to me a rumor.

4. PICKUP: I do like the R15's pickup, but it is too fast for crowded traffic conditions. It requires you to brake and go fast. The Uni on the other hand is not as capable in terms of pickup or braking, but can plod at 30 with no issues. I would like the CBR to likewise be relaxed in peak traffic conditions. How does it measure up? I am expecting it to be capable at low speeds and steady at 100.

The cbr given your parameters is near perfect, as I said because it is slightly heavy than the average bike its flickability is reduced, simply put you cannot scoot from one lane to another but go rock steady.

5. Seating posture: I feared I would squash my man-bits against the tank on the R15. I am hoping the CBR has a more gently posture - midway between the Uni and R15. How do you feel after riding for 30 mins in peak traffic?

The crucial element to me is the riding position, many at times I see people riding with their elbows locked and in a very stiff position, if your riding position is correct that is the foot pegs on the arches of your feet, your bum touching the pillion seat, knees pressing against the tank pad and your elbows relaxed and you are bending slightly to the front it is comfortable.
After 30 minutes also I feel no discomfort.
6. Ride comfort: The R15 is stiffly sprung, so much that I fear riding it over potholes. A search on this thread tells me that the CBR has soft suspension to soakup potholes. The only bike I rode that gave me this experience was the Suzuki GS150 (better than the Unicorn). Pls enlighten me on this.

The suspension is adjustable, even in the stock setting as my bike is in, the pot holes are absorbed quite well.
7. Are servicing costs along the lines of the R15? A bit pricey but manageable?

Yes, servicing costs are manageable, but you need to be careful so that you do not get ripped off, keep 2000 with you. Try to get a good rapport with the ASC people specially the mechanic. That said the main costs of servicing come as in the consumption of your personal time, I personally devote 30 minutes prepping my bike for rides in the morning checking various parameters such as oil/coolant level, brakes tires etc. The steps are mentioned in the pre-ride inspection checklist of the manual. And I devote a good time in keeping it clean, so if these seems service to you, then in terms of costs in time, it requires a bit.

8. How good are the lights?

Good, the high beam is very powerful, I got reprimanded by the cops while I was returning from Mysore in the evening.
Excuse my rather abrupt and simplistic questions, I am not a road warrior. I haven't even test ridden the CBR, but what the info I need will not be gained over a 5 minute testride. Getting one is hard enough.

I guess I've grown accustomed to the Uni (like a wife) and I now feel attracted to take on a mistress in the CBR. I do not want to let go of the Unicorn.
Also is it the Karishma ZMR I need to look at? I'd rather settle for a used CBR instead, for abot the same cost as a new ZMR.

If you can have my 2 cents an impulsive purchase of a cbr will do you no good, this bike requires planning and dedication, much of it's performance depends on the regular checks done by the rider, it is a honda machine it can be forgiving for niggles here and there but it will not treat you well. For a second hand cbr I urge you to exercise caution, make sure that the person selling it seems a dedicated rider to you, usually top end bikes like these are not resold except perhaps by those who want to go to bigger bikes, much of such are sold by people who break all the recommendations in the manual trash it fully, no, rape it and sell it off. Unless you are absolutely sure of the seller I recommend not to go for the second hand ones. if possible look for the dukes also. if you want a semi/flaired bike you can check out the karizma, pulsars are too wild cannon for me.

Location is the one & only reason I stick with this SVC, nothing else.

Come down to Cloud 9 Honda. Its in Madhyamgram. I think you can take a detour of few kilometers for the health of your bike. Utpal the mechanic in the workshop i by far the best mechanic for CBR in any Honda workshop in Westbengal. If you plan to come anytime soon give me a call at 9830664542. I will keep the owner Bikram Banerjee informed about your visit. It is the smallest workshop but trust me they will treat your bike with lot of love and respect.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hey All,

I currently ride my P200NS and I use it for daily commute + weekend rides + long 1 week trips once in two months. I am happy with it and has crossed 16K kms.
I was always interested in the touring abilities of CBR 250R and I would like to own one. Guys, I need your thoughts on moving from P200NS to CBR 250. I have limited budget at less than 2.5L and hence could not consider Ninja 650. I am no interested in D390 as well.

Please share your valuable advise on owning a CBR250

Thanks,
Srinath

1. Comfort. The Uni is comfortable. You can ride it half-asleep. How comfy are the CBR's seats? For pillon passengers? Can women ride saddle-side? i.e both legs on one side?

a) For the rider ->The CBR is significantly LESS comfortable when compared to the Uni. It requires a forward-leaning posture from the rider. For short rides in the order of 10 or 15 minutes, this is okay. But for long rides, say greater than 1 hour continuously, this NOT okay. For me, the worst phenomenon was the aching and numbness in the buttocks, radiating out to the upper legs. This is caused due to the small contact patch between the saddle and the butt, putting immense pressure on the nerves in that area. I have relatively strong shoulders, forearms and wrists so had fewer issues in them. If I had not been able to design and build a mod to raise the clip-ons, I would have sold the bike with a month or two ONLY due to this issue.
b) Female pillion--> Jeans/ salwar clad, normal Indian (read Venusian) proportions, cross-saddle - no issues whatsoever. Saree clad, generous tending to extravagant proportions, side-saddle - the real estate, in length, is too less to accommodate the lady. Even with the saree guard on, it will be a precarious perch to be on.

2. Refinement: I rode an (the highly acclaimed) R15 intermittently for a month. Then I realised what a gem the Uni is. Absolutely refined and smooth. It feels like cuddling against a kitten. Does the CBR have the same level of refinement?

NO and... YES. I qualify that by adding that it will not be refined till say 6000 kms. The counter balancer does an admirable job but let's face facts - this bike has a combustion chamber of 249 cc, breathed by only one largish piston. It will have a distinct vertical component which cannot be completely negated unless it has an equal mass going the opposite way i.e. downwards thru the oil sump. Also, the weight of the bike is NOT proportionally more when compared to the Uni. At around 6000 kms, the engine is completely run-in and much, much smoother than what it was at 1000 kms. Yet, it will never approach the refinement of the Ninja 250.

3. VIbrations: Same as above. I've heard the CBR has more vibes compared to the CBR150. Because it has a larger cylinder. The R15 had some vibes and it would leave my arms mildly numb after 30 mins (like the FZ). Can the CBR munch miles on end like the vibe-free Unicorn?

Read the answer to Q 2. Also, the CBR will cover distance much faster than the Uni. A recommended style would be 100 kph for about 50 mins to 1 hour, rest for 10 mins and repeat till end of ride. If you load the tank with say 7 kgs in a tank bag plus say 25 to 30 kgs on saddle bags, the vibes will cease to bother you esp when she is nicely warmed up. But the lean angle with cause discomfort as has been mentioned earlier.

4. PICKUP: I do like the R15's pickup, but it is too fast for crowded traffic conditions. It requires you to brake and go fast. The Uni on the other hand is not as capable in terms of pickup or braking, but can plod at 30 with no issues. I would like the CBR to likewise be relaxed in peak traffic conditions. How does it measure up? I am expecting it to be capable at low speeds and steady at 100.

The CBR HATES traffic. 1st is too low so you shift to 2nd. Within 10 seconds, you come to a near halt so back to 1st. Then 2nd becomes too low so to 3rd, again back to 2nd and to 1st. This is CBR-esthyle riding. It snatches, rasps, curses and really f***s your happiness in bumper to bumper traffic. The engine commands you to be at 6000 RPM and 100 kph and here, it is capable of staying, continuously, for the entire service interval of 6000 kms. With the weight and clip-on mods and a gel seat, you will get the best town and tourer bike in India.

5. Seating posture: I feared I would squash my man-bits against the tank on the R15. I am hoping the CBR has a more gently posture - midway between the Uni and R15. How do you feel after riding for 30 mins in peak traffic?

Oh wow, you hit the cojones where they hurt the most, amigo. Search for and read my initial review of the CBR; you will get an insight into this very issue. I don't ride the CBR in 30 mins peak traffic as I don't go to those areas in town, on the bike, which will inflict this trauma on me.

6. Ride comfort: The R15 is stiffly sprung, so much that I fear riding it over potholes. A search on this thread tells me that the CBR has soft suspension to soakup potholes. The only bike I rode that gave me this experience was the Suzuki GS150 (better than the Unicorn). Pls enlighten me on this.

The CBR is definitely softer sprung than the R15 and most definitely softer sprung than the horrible Uni. The front is too soft for track wannabes', the rear is perfect at the 4th setting towards soft. It is not the question of comfort. The CBR's front just does not communicate with you in the way the R15's does. 'Cause the R15 is a track bike clothed in a business suit while the CBR has bipolar disorder - engine for the track, brakes for the city; posture for the track, suspension for the city and so on.

7. Are servicing costs along the lines of the R15? A bit pricey but manageable?

Depends on what is the scope of the work. Side panel change? I have read of Rs 1500 odd (dirt cheap). Speedo/odo sensor change because a friggin' rat chewed the cable? Rs 2250. Otherwise, routine servicing should not cost more than Rs 800 or so incl oil, chain lube etc. Most highly manageable for a bike like this.

8. How good are the lights?

Ok in the city. The spread is excellent but the power is atrocious for highway travel. So, change the bulb for some respite. But the best way would be to have a 100/90 halogen with a strong cover so that it does not melt. I am exploring this option.

Excuse my rather abrupt and simplistic questions, I am not a road warrior. I haven't even test ridden the CBR, but what the info I need will not be gained over a 5 minute testride. Getting one is hard enough.

I guess I've grown accustomed to the Uni (like a wife) and I now feel attracted to take on a mistress in the CBR. I do not want to let go of the Unicorn.

The CBR will be a good mistress. Only, are you up to her demands - women, whether wives or mistresses are high maintenance objects of desire. So, tread carefully here.
Also is it the Karishma ZMR I need to look at? I'd rather settle for a used CBR instead, for abot the same cost as a new ZMR.

Thank you

My opinion, in green, is MY opinion. I am sure you have heard the one about opinions being like anal apertures - everyone has one. BTW, I am nearly 44 so if you are younger and fitter than me, please view my words with the correct perspective. Also, you have mentioned the CBR in the same breath as three other bikes - the R15, the Uni and the ZMR. I think that you need to think a bit more about what is it that you exactly want, my friend...

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I posted this query some time ago, I am reposting.

How can the crank case breather plug be opened? the red tube underneath the bike.

What does the crank case breather drain?

The manual recommends to drain it while riding in the rain. It had been raining a lot in Bangalore, so I wish to drain it.

Thanks

Manan.

Note- realised that taking the rpm over 3.5 k in b2b traffic reduces mileage quite a lot.

This service got a tendency to replace parts of my CBR without asking proper consent, I noticed this when at last servicing....they changed my Air-Filter as well as drained full coolant without customer authorization, but then I didn't mind the price was nominal and told by them it will increase the performance.

But during this service they also change my Head Gasket - Reason -> Use & Throw nature, Once open can't be use again = Is it true ?
and there another item they change which cost 458/- named at the bill 14520-KYJ-711-LIFTER ASSY,IE - I don't know why it need for replacement ?

At below I'm attaching 3 service bill and picture of the replacement part.

On the last bill they charged me as - Job Out Side - Service charge 1500/-

My bike is a STD version, but the bill says otherwise.

As I guess the mech was pro-cheater, as he come to me and quote 'The company (SVC) sourced 2 SHIM and I mange to source other 2 SHIM from my personal collection and install in your bike,so please give me something' but as I rejected his request politely.

Checkout the yellow wire, it is there not for any electrical mod or any thing, It basically hold the guts (all pipe and wire) of my bike - these how they fix. There are several other place the mech use cotton rope to tie up these pipes /wire under fairing.

Dang it seems that you got royally screwed, email the problem to [email protected] as soon as possible.

Cheers

Manan.
