Just upgraded to Osram Night Breaker plus. I am yet to test the output. Will post the experience later.

Costing?

Sent via Rotten Tomato from Wonderland.

1050 for a pair.

Took me a couple of hours because it was the first time i did it. But now that i know how to do it, it should take half an hour.

You need to buy a pair. I think they should start selling a single bulb also.

Oh thats sounds good to hear. Even am planning to upgrade but with Philips Extreme Vision and am hunting for the sellers at my place.

So guys, went for first service today.
Apart from the first service tasks i made them add chain slackness problem(it was too tight) , tank cap vibration and radiator fan working as extra tasks.

All the necessary things were done, with the radiator fan problem being the last, once they started working on it all the senior mechs started hovering over my bike
then one by one each part started being removed off, the left side fairing , right side fairing , the tank, ecu and stuff like that.

First the assumption was that the fuse was blown, which turned out to be fine,
then they checked the fan working by connecting to another power source, the fan worked fine, the troubleshooted the ecu, ecu was fine but fan not working, plonked another ecu same result.

SO finally after 2-3 hours of head scratching it was diagonized that somewhere along the electrical wiring there was a problem, the current for running the fan is not reaching the fan. All the sensors seem to be fine too.

So as of now, the bike is at the svc, after first service, waiting for them to strip the bike fully and check each and every electrical junction and replace the faulty part . Which will take some time. Now the estimated day for getting my bike back is monday evening or tuesday.

Once i get the bike, I am going to find this guy who did the PDI and give him a peice of my mind, or send a mail to honda about this. How did he clear the bike of PDI if the radiator fan is not working, note that i had complained to them about the fan not kicking in the second day of purchase itself.
@icemang , i so wanted what you said to be true, but seems 'not the case here.

... problem of fan not working

... cooling system(fan) of the cbr has a direct connection for power source form the battery. and that particular socket is independent of the rest of the wiring of the bike

... have 3 senior mechanics for the cbr

The showroom is John's honda, Trichur. Kerala members can make use of their superior service
