Re: Honda CBR 150 R
Thanks Bala
Some things I noticed on the bike:
1. There does not seem to be a mudguard for the back wheel like say the R15. Maybe the rear shock-absorber will get caked with mud, etc?
Any way to avoid this?
2. Same thing seems to hold good for the mud splashing from the front wheel on the radiator during rainy season.
3. Can we use Castrol or some other engine oil for smoother engine performance after the run-in period of the engine?

Re: Honda CBR 150 R
I am proud owner of cbr150r, just completed 12000 kms in 1 year. I must say, cbr150 is the best bike you can buy for long term ownership. Stock cylinder bore kit will surely last for 100k kms.Originally posted by ivpatrick View Post
When you get used to the bike, by seeing rpm and speed you will know in which gear you are!! ( My method 😀 ).
Cbr150 is reliable bike. For 12k kms of ownership i only paid servicing cost. Which is 800-900rs per servicing. Service schedule is 4 month or 4k kms.
Fuel economy is 40 kmpl for city, 45 kmpl for highway. Cbr150 gives 45 kmpl FE on constant triple digit speed on highways!!Leave a comment:

Re: Honda CBR 150 R
Hi
I am new here, so maybe this is not the right place to ask. If so then please redirect me.
However, I am considering buying a new CBR 150R sometime soon.
Would the owners of this model recommend this bike for long time use/ownership.
I already test rode the bike for a considerable distance (10+ KM) along with a pillion rider to check if they can sit comfortably.
I liked the bike's feel although the idea of which gear I was in was very confusing.
The pillion rider also said that he found it to be comfortable. I am not used to the seating position of CBR, so I found that a bit odd.
Since the bike is not seen that commonly in Bangalore roads like a Duke, Pulsar, etc, wanted to get feedback from owners of the bike as to whether its a good vehicle to own?
I don't normally ride very fast and seating/riding comfort and reasonable maintenance is something I am looking for.
Vehicle is for daily use of about 30-40 km and sometimes more.
Please suggest your thoughts/opinions.
ThanksLeave a comment:

Re: Honda CBR 150 R
Hey everyone, the
I own a 5 month old ceeber. Have not faced any problems till now. But from today a strange vibration is coming from the bike. I came back from a trip to a driving beach yesterday. There was a lot of sand stuck everywhere. I washed it myself. Now when I ride and hold the clutch completely I can feel a vibration in my footpegs. There is no sound caused. It is just a periodic vibration. Frequency of the vibration increases when i ride faster. There is nothing visible in the tyres and chain too. By vibration I mean a normal jerk when you ride over a small stick or rod. I have absolutely no idea what this is. So please help me with this everyone.Leave a comment:

Hi there,Originally posted by Saurabh_rf View Post
CBR 150 easily handles cruising at 110-120. It didn't struggled at all during my 1200 kms trip from pune to my home town and back twice. Also it returned a great fuel efficiency of 39 kmpl.
CBR 250 is ofcourse more powerful than the 150 sibling but the younger one is not that less. If you can pull your budget little more further go for 250 or else 150 is also a great option.Leave a comment:

Hi,
This is a very common thing that happens to tyres, and the marks which you have posted look like they are due to riding on tiny glass shreds. You need to avoid broken glass shreds on roads as much as possible or they might damage the tyres. Rest of the wear and tear is due to usage/climate and it is normal for at tyre to look this in 2.5 years.
Chain chakkar is basically the chain sprocket kit which the ASC is referring to. The kit includes a 1.new chain and the 2.sprocket with teeth on which the chain fits into which is located on the rear wheel. These are usually changed every 2 years, depending on the kms as well.
Once you change it make sure to lube the chain as the chain on the CBR is not covered completely. So washing the bike also reduces the lubrication and dirt also sticks onto it, so applying a good quality chain lube will maintain both the chain and the sproket(chakkar).
Regards.Leave a comment:

Hi,Originally posted by sufyansayed View Post
This problem is caused due to play in steering or damaged cone set/steering kit/ball racer kit. I am also facing the same problem, I've changed the cone set/steering kit twice but the replaced one is of poor quality and it gets damaged soon. Check with the Service Center and then change it.Leave a comment:

Re: Honda CBR 150 R
Guys please me decide between CBR150r and 250r
- Is 150r a decent touring machine, like if I have to cruise at a speed of 110-120 kph will it struggle for a long time?
- Though Im also concerned with mileage, which is pushing me away from 250r as owners reported mileage of 30kmpl. how much cbr 250r can return on highways if cruising at a speed of say 100 kmph.
- cbr250r is like 36k expensive than 150r and in that I will get 100 more cc more torque, bhp minus the mileage. So that make me think to go with 250r but then NO ABS for base model of 250r.
I had a budget of 1,30,000 but thought of pushing it further considering what I'll be getting more by paying that 40k extra.
So is 150r that less powerful than 250r?Leave a comment:

Re: Honda CBR 150 R
Hi,
Earlier, when engine becomes hot, coolent level in reservoir used to increase, and it decrease when engine becomes cool. Also, i need to topup coolant in reservoir.
But, sadly for past 2 months i didn't notice any increase/decrease in coolant level when engine becomes hot/cold. Didn't required coolant topup.
So, to find reason behind this mystery, today i removed right side fairing and then removed radiator cap.
To my surprise , their is low coolant level in radiator. 100 ml coolant required to topup till the radiator cap.
Free advice to all members, if you don't see any increase/decrease of coolant level in reservoir then plz check coolant level in radiatorLeave a comment:
