Any suggestions...
    i guess this is vibrations due to resonance. i also had observed this at 4.5-5.5k rpm when the bike was in run-in. i've clocked over 14k km now & my ride still has the same grunt as it had on the first day

      Need some clarifications. I opted for Honda Road Side Assistance but didn't got any documents for that. Only have bills which mention that I have purchased that service. Is it enough if I have to ever contact and get help from Honda RSA ?

            Close your eyes and pick up Michellein Pilot street. Costs 5000bux for a 140 section rear tyre. Sticks on road like glue and is better than PSD (been using PSD for many years).

                There are a few cheaper options against PSD.
                1. MRF revz (R15's stock tyre)
                2. Dunlop Tuffgrip - heard good reviews about the tyre in this forum and comes in sttock sizes as well.
                3. IRC - Good dual compound rubber, N300's stock tyres and comes in CBR's stock sizes.

                I was not aware Michelin in sending tyres to India anything above 120 section. Since you are in Delhi, could you tell me where can I find Michelin, the price of the tyres and contact number of the dealer. My tyres need change asap.

                    Can anyone specify there things quickly here. 1. The ride-ability of the bike in city traffic (Banglore/Chennai) 2. The turning radius 3. Mileage in city.

                    Please dont advice me to search the thread. I have already done it and had no luck :-( (Of course, I know it will be in these posts, I just cant eye it)

                      I don't think many people have opted here for HRSA in this forum. Do post the info you have for a start.

                      If your bike is STD version, two excellent radial tyre options from MRF are R15 V2's rear Revz S 130/70 R17 and KTM rear Revz C 150/60 R17. Both are equally good.

                      If its ABS, you have to stick to stock size for which you can scout newly launched MRF Zapper S (best bet if you can find one) or Zapper Q. Other options are Dunlop and IRC. Sourcing stock tyre options would be much more difficult though the former ones too would not be easy to find.

                      Don't go for PSD. All stock available in India is manufactured in Brazil in 2010-11 or before and trade-off of purchasing such an old tyre is that the grip level that they are famous for is at par with Conti's only; nothing exceptional.

                      It's not happy in the city, but can manage.

                      2. The turning radius
                      Yup, again a pain the city. Tight U turns are a problem in the city. Wide mirrors too.

                      3. Mileage in city.
                      Sedate: 30, Maniac: 25, Redlining: 20
                      For city riding only, go for either KTM; CBR does not excel in city.

                        Being a 250cc this bike has decent power and though you might face a bit of city riding trouble. About the mileage it will return ~30kmpl on city riding condition if you are not pushing the bike too much and keeping the rpm within 6K

                                Thanx pruthviraj for the test ride of your bike shod with michelin,the grip was really excellent,hope the shop is open tomorrow so that i can grab one for my bike .....also the the mods you did to your bike like the stiffer front fork,adjustable levers and re-positioning of the gear shifter has made the bike so maneuverable in traffic ,i just loved it,the bike feels so nimble and light compared to a stock CBR, kindly post a few pic of your bike.
