Re: Honda CBR 250R

The engine light doesn't come on once the engine is on... It might be an indication of something not in the correct setting... Get to a service center to sort it out.

Actually the CBR shouldn't start when in gear with the clutch released... it starts only if you press the clutch or put it to neutral.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Get the clutch switch checked. It could be something as simple as the connectors of the switch are shorted(hope there is such a word) or something like that.
[MENTION=41586]Divya Sharan[/MENTION] unlike the cbr our zmr's don't have that clutch switch and hence they start on gear without holding the clutch.

Re: Honda CBR 250R


Oh that's definitely better than Contigos. You get amazing feedback from the Dunlop, which the Contigo lacked at!




Btw, I'm just wondering, why did everyone all of a sudden become so bothered about the bike's FE??????

If FE is all that one was bothered about, then why buy this bike? I know petrol is expensive. But in your hunt of FE, you're missing out on some real fun that this bike is capable of!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Oops. I wasn't aware of this mechanism. But the below post clears the air.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

buddy.. the bike idles at 1.5k rpm that's 1500 rounds per minute... so it shows 1.5k .. how can rpm be zero when engine is working...
thats theoritically and practically impossible.. exception : if you have a faulty tacho

people have quoted bad to good.. it can range anywhere from early 20's to mid 40's depending on how someone rides. yes FE does have have better fuel control but what bout the wrist.. sudden burst then sudden brakes.. wastage of force of inertia, less roll on and more stress.. leads to low FE..

if RED light is on then you should probably run to the SVC.. there are multipe codes... it might be due to ABS else engine sensor detecting some fault..

as a safety feature bike would not and should not start else you might rear end someone at red light.. worst case ... with a twisted throttle and start in 1st gear you might just go out of control...


now there are 2 sensors.. 1st which detects if the clutch is pressed.. small click switch below the clutch assembly.. left clip-on
second near the crankcase which detects if the bike is in neutral..

so when the below on detects if bike is in neutral it will bypass the clutch one and no matter what it will let current supply to the starter motor.

now to isolate the issue. when you get your bike in neutral and if you see the neutral light on then the gear switch is operating normally get the clutch switch checked.


bro thats not nomal operating situations.. and should not happen.. the clutch switch has gone faulty or gone loose.. its a small L shape plug going in a bell switch .. similar to how our refrigrator lights work.. pull it out and plu ig back in with a small click and then check...

previously it was the animals on road now the idiots dangerous than animals...

Re: Honda CBR 250R

The clutch lever switch is stuck in the depressed (on) condition costs about Rs.20/- exactly same as in the Unicorn! Just get it replaced.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

[MENTION=41586]Divya Sharan[/MENTION] & [MENTION=37862]snehithpereira[/MENTION] Do you guys own the 'older' ZMR (the one with yellow backlit console)? That's because I have extensively ridden my friends HH-ZMR (new batch HH, not HMC but with blue backlit console) and it doesn't start in gear unless the clutch is pressed. Maybe older ZMRs didn't feature the clutch switch?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Yes ours are the older ones. Didn't know that the newer ones had that addition... wil check

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Sorry for the OT, regarding other bike in this thread.
Could you please enlighten us on how does the Bike start without pressing the Clutch "When the bike is in Gear"? Any terminology for this technology ? . If its true How does the bike react when cranked?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

@phanikar...I am not sure if that was a joke or sarcasm or whether you're really serious, a man of your stature shouldn't really be asking this!
Replying anyways - What the OP probably meant was that he is able to crank his bike when it's in gear - which, ideally, shouldn't happen. You just can't start a bike (edit: this applies to any geared engine - be it a bike or a car) 'in gear' - it will always stall when cranked, no matter what. There is no 'technology' involved....

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Why bring the sarcasm into picture? Don't know how others take it, But it was a genuine question from my end. Even you agree that "Ideally, it shouldnt happen" . So was curious to know if such a thing exist, which could have been absent in the ZMRs i have ridden so far.

Re: Honda CBR 250R


I am surprised - do really so many ZMRs get cranked without a clutch? ANyway, let's shift this discussion to the ZMR thread...I am sure we will get better enlightenment there!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I am sorry for not being clearer. By start I meant you can crank it. It goes ahead a little and stalls. However in the newer zmrs apparently you cant even crank the bike unless the clutch is held.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hello guys.. few days back I posted a query on which front tyres should I be going for instead of the existing Contigo.

The Contigo at present completed 21,000kms

I am swapping the old one with MRF.. same ones as that you find on the new batch of CBR250's.
Will be getting this job done by saturday.

Cheers

Re: Honda CBR 250R


hats off for runiing 21k on conti's man.. those are one lucky set of tyres.. mine gave up at 13k itself.. cracks and the most punctures any cbr ever had on this forum...

mrf's are good.. i got IRC's front and dunlop rear.. both stock size...

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

chill guys...

am going OT now... this same issue was there with old cars too..

you can try OMNI or M800 and old bikes.. they'd crank irrespective of gear/clutch position...

safety switches were introduced later to prevent any mishap..

ride safe..
