Re: Honda CBR 250R

If you are in for sprocketing, you can opt for a device called SpeedoDRD which will recalibrate the speedo, but it's a mod that costs more than the actual sprocketing procedure...The best option would be to use GPS and your intuition.

[MENTION=49917]bbsrailfan[/MENTION]. You are right there. Part No 7 is the probe. The wire emerging this was once gnawed away by rats at the parking spot and I had to have the whole part replaced for Rs 2250!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hello Friends,

I am new joinee to this forum and this is my 1st post.. I am from nashik. I bought a new CBR250R C-ABS last month and got the 1st servicing a few days back with ODO reading at 600kms. The bike is pretty exciting but i am in a city where i dont have confidence on the service centre guys...I have some queries:

1. From the start, when i reved up the baby a bit, i could hear a mild "chittering" sound from the front side, to the right hand. seemed like coming from the front right fairing. The service centre guy said he will rectify it during the 1st servicing but it is still there. Its a bit annoying and scares me a bit. i try not to rev it up a lot... Does anyone else had this problem? need your suggestions....
2. I have read in this forum abt chattering in the engine and the valve clearance and the SHIM size. I specifically requested the honda guy to check the valve clearance and he said that it was fine. but i cant be sure if he had done it. How do i know if the clearance is ok?? Please bear that i am not a pro-rider and just starting to learn these tech stuff.
3. After the 1st servicing, when i turn the ignition, all the electronics blink good but when i start the bike, the temp bar shows 0 reading and only after approx. 5 mins it slowly goes to 3. This wasnt the case earlier. I am not sure if the connection for the thermostat is loose. whats ur take on this??

Looking forward to your replies and suggestions... Also, would be great to know any CBR owner from Nashik...

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I'm experiencing a rattling sound as well but only when the bike is not in motion after starting, it disappears once it's at a slight rev even. Started after the recently done service, noticed only now as the helmet usually blocks off the sound

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Try to zero in on the location of the rattling sound..

Do check if its from the fairing.
While servicing they had to remove the right fairing to get access to the oil filter, on which they may not have installed any of the three plastic clips which hold the fairings intact.

[MENTION=67135]coolhunk[/MENTION], Welcome to XBHP & congrats on your new ride.

1. Check for any loose parts around the radiator area & fairing.
2. Take it to service centre and ask them to rectify the issues with your presence.
3. Its normal, do keep an eye on the temp. indicator not to exceed 3 bars.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Just did so found the culprit, it's my bent and damaged number plate that is bent and rattling, so glad

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Thanks Shiv,
i will try to look closely and i hope that even my case the issue is as small as the number plate.
The problem in Nashik is that there is only one guy who services the CBR bikes and whenever i go, there is always 2-3 bikes under maintenance... So, he says that it will take time and he can deliver only next day. I already had a big argument with the service centre manager the last time i was there. Its really hopeless to rely on them. Thats y i asked if i can myself understand if the clearance is ok. The engine sound is good, even a bit smoother after the 1st service but i cant be sure, right :P

But thanks for your reply
