Re: Honda CBR 250R

Do not repaint,you cannot get exact shade or finish like the Co provided,also if there are no scratches then a polishing job @ the so called Teflon coating person will also do.The 3M treatment you said is the best,it will be bit on a higher side but it is the best treatment.If you got no where to go then shoot me a pm I know someone who does this kind of polishing jobs & lastly SHIT HAPPENS ,do not loose heart,all is not lost.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

The light is noticeably brighter and the best part is the beam spread is somehow a lil more and even more focused.
I cannot quantify how strong it was in comparison but its a pretty good difference. The color is not too white and not too yellow. Its perfect for riding in all conditions.
Would even show a birdie to the hid's during the rainy season.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Thanks for all the advice bro. Once bitten and now I am going to keep my one fingered salute ready whenever any of my friends ask for my bike.

And I will try and make it to the 3M showroom tomorrow and will keep I people updated.

The best thing is no one at my home is so depressed as I am. Obviously it's my bike an "I" the biker is hurt deep inside and xbhp is one place I find solace sharing my feelings with my fellow bikers. Thanks everyone.

I am over this thing and shit happens. So I am going move on and get the bike back to pristine showroom like condition ASAP.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I am going to the 3M showroom tomorrow. I know it's going To be expensive. But when it comes to my bike I can shell out that extra green patti. Hahaha.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Thanks for that [MENTION=33779]icemang[/MENTION] .
I didn't want to seem this harsh, but I agree with all those words.

To give a couple of examples.
I don't borrow anyone's bike, nor do I give my bike to anyone. That way, I'm satisfied that it's in 'good' hands.
1) A colleague once asked me for my motorcycle. I said sorry, no. HOWEVER, I'll definitely take you where you want to go.
I was never asked for my bike after that.
2) Even in my locality, I never give my motorcycle to anyone. No one asks me. The rare days I've got to take alternative means of transport, I'd take a rickshaw or even a bus if necessary.

My Motorcycle was in my friend's (a mechanic - a very good one at that) small garage. There was some issue and this other mechanic also popped by to give some advice. He wanted to take a test ride. Funny thing was, my mechanic himself said no, he (me) won't allow anyone else to touch the motorcycle, he only trusts me with it (which was true).
The point is, you only get into someone's bad books once. After that, you will not be asked again (and the word will be spread too).

To end this note, I'd quote from Shakespeare.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

(this applies to all walks of life, not just motorcycles )

Buddy first check ur coolant level, the temperature bars should never exceed 3. You can find the coolant storage near your rear break pedal, u need not open the cover of it there is a provision to see the level , and UPPER- LOWER markings ll be there so do check the level of your coolant first.

Re: Honda CBR 250R


On a level surface with the bike upright , the coolent level in the reserve can is above the maximum level. So there is no shortage of coolent, and apart from the 2 incidents the temp bar is at 3 bars itself.


Will be going in for 1st free service on friday. Covered 530kms now. The dealers were actually shocked when i called to fix a appointment fro the service in less than a week of delivery.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Oh thats nice to hear. Even i gave my bike inthe first 10days from the date of purchase with 930kms on odo

Get that thing thoroughly checked or if it gives out any serious problem when u r in any long ride it ll be a big headache. And once again read the owners manual

Re: Honda CBR 250R

At times i think i might be over thinking, having no experience with LC bikes before, so a bit skeptical. Just need to see the fan work and i'll be out of my misery. Tempratures are pretty cool out here mostly. Might also be the reason.
Let's see.

Yes, been reading the owners manual, haven't read it fully.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

So how well are u liking CBR 250 after riding P220 so long !!

Re: Honda CBR 250R


Ah..!! It is indeed a really refreshing experience mate..!!

I had not ridden a CBR before, other than on the day i got the bike, and the first time i cranked her up and pulled in the clutch, the first thing that crossed my mind was, DAMN..!!! The clutch is so damn soft, honda shouldn't make them this soft..!!

Then, now after 520kms of riding , my experience would be that she picks up speed really nicely, loved the experience, the highway experience was pure bliss, though i had to control the speeds. Shifting through first and second during slow paced traffic was a pain in the wrong place, but once first service is done, expecting a more smoother transition while changing gears.Had some pain in the wrist, my palms were really red after the first few days, was pressing down too hard on my palms , owing to the changed riding positions(note , i was riding the fz for past few weeks), now that problem is also vanished.

Now as soon as i put away with the clunky gear shift after first service, i guess it'll be scaringly smooth...!! So long on a pulsar and now smoothness scares me..!!
hehe..!!

Jokes apart, really a superb machine and I haven't made a mistake choosing her as an upgrade...!! Looking forward to many tours and rides with her.

The 220 is with my brother at Bangalore, so i will be seeing her too...!!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Yea, this was a problem for me too in the initial days. The fan wont kick in. It was simply because the bike wasn't hot enough . But I had fears over the fan going kaput. I havent heard from anyone till date about the fan not working on a brand new CBR 250R. A very hot climate and 20 mins in 1st gear could kick in the fan. Dont worry man. Ride safe .

Re: Honda CBR 250R



Well, like i said, I might be over thinking it, I do have that tendency at times.
Yeah, the temperature here has been really cool these days, the heat is dissipated pretty nicely while riding too. Guess cochin traffic is the best place to have a go for this, next time we can have a try. We do have a cochin trip due, remember ?? So let's test it out then.
