^^^ Ji SKD has already posted one in ORG & it has half the manual scanned in English.

Well, I spoke to the Service Manager over phone and he understood my situation... requested me to get the bike to the SVC so that they could lube the chain and wash the bike and redeem the 1st service Coupon.

I took my bike to SVC and seeing the chain was already well lubed with Motul Chain lube, and the bike swanky clean, he just redeemed the 1st service coupon and said that I could get the bike over to the SVC when I had around 750kms on the odo and he would do the service without coupon

We spoke for a while, and he informed me that they were having a hard time servicing the CBR beacuse:

- They only had engine Oil which was priced at 504/litre.

- Not a single OIL filter received from HMSI till date... they've done a couple of 1st services where they have changed the engine oil but not changed the filter...they said it was not compulsory but optional

- No paddock stand received from HMSI yet and hence they were having a tough time servicing the bike on the side stand.. also they could not use the service ramp due to lack of center stand.

- No stocks of oil filter housing gasket and Oil drain plug gasket.

- There was a black CBR parked in the SVC which seemed to have had a fall and had a broken clutch lever and yoke. Also, the alloy plate on which the gear shifter lever is mounted was cracked and the shifter itself was badly bent... footrest rubber was also torn similar to what was shown by Ravi17 in this thread..the left fairing was missing from the bike.. so i guess the fairing must have also sustained damages...... and the bike has been lying in SVC since past 15days for lack of spares

Modified CBR....

HOW IS IT GUYS?

Did you sort the prob out? Its shocking for sure, if I can feel the heat, I am sure you must be feeling like thrashing Honda officials. Either the baby has an ECU prob which is not releasing required amount of fuel to air ratioor the fuel pipe is faulty.

I hope the baby smiles up very soon with a ready to rip nod. Cheers Man.

Just awesome..
how much did you pay for that? and from where did you get that?

Found few no cut frame sliders on eBay but they're way too expensive. 6-7k and no shipping to India.

DONT know about details....its not mine.....it was repainted here at ernakulam, kerala....

To be honest... its absolutely not my taste

Forget about paying, I wouldn't get this done to my bike even for free

lol, nice to see someone speaking my mind. I felt the very same.

+1 To that!

Why do I get the same feeling?

101% wrong statement. Show them owner's manual & ask them if owner's manual has printing mistake. Demand for the service manual book & ask them to show the page where it says optional.

I didn't quite understand. Are you feeling pity for them due to lack of paddock or they didn't service properly due to lack of paddock? That's the same way every HMSI ASC in India is equipped.

Nope!!! I'm going tomorrow again.
This evening I took out the vehicle as it was called by HMSI engineer. They wanted me to leave the vehicle for which I was apprehensive. I showed right in front of them how an unattended vehicle would be treated without the presence of owner. So they asked me to come tomorrow.

Thanks

Kind attn - Does anyone have a an email ID (not the customer support) of some incharge in HMSI for CBR 250R in the middle or upper management? I need to document my issues & as well as escalate if things goes out of control. Pls help me if possible. Thanks.

All this points to only one thing...that the CBR was launched in a hurry. If basic spares are not available at service centers, how will these bikes survive? I'm now worried about my younger brother as he is getting his CBR in two days from today!

Why would anyone ruin a perfectly looking bike into somthing like this? .. :/

That's exactly what I told him, but he said that though the service manual recommended change of Filter, the feedback they had got from the Honda Service Team was "to go ahead with 1st service oil change even without filter replacement in case of non availability of the same"

I'm not feeling pity.. I'm just mad at Honda for having put a substantial no of bikes on the road without even making available the most basic of service tools like a Paddock Stand at their service centers

+1

I just hope that Honda has realized where they are falling short and are taking necessary steps to get things streamlined..

Well, I got quite worried reading this... up till now, I hadn't crossed 90k in top gear as the bike was under run in... but reading your plight, I wanted to make sure it wasn't a similar case with my bike.. So took her out for a little spin onto the bypass... 100k came up pretty quickly at 6.2k and before the traffic thickened, I was able to touch 138k on the odo @ 8.5k fully tucked in behind the fairing.

She was able to reach these speeds without breaking a sweat and from the feel of it, once properly broken in, she should easily be able to touch 160k on the odo with a single rider aerodynamically tucked in behind the fairing
