    In your case, since you replaced tyre hence not an issue of tyre.
    Check all bearings, bushings,rubber cushion of wheel. Drive chain tensioning bolts should be equally tightened on both the sides.
    Btw which tyre are you using??


    Yes, definitely not a tyre issue. Will find out what the SVC guys suggest. And just to add to my point, this "imbalance" feeling is irrespective of the speed i am at. I have usually felt it at 30-50 km/hr as well. Not sure if its the same the 80+ , as that particular road has a speed limit.
    Also that particular road seems to be quite plain with very less wear and tear.
    I am currently using a MRF NYLOGRIP Zapper 130/70 17.

    This is my very first post on here. I am currently facing an "imbalance" kind of a feeling with my CBR150, which is quite scary and troubling at times.
    Also have noticed that it happens on certain areas/roads only. Earlier i thought it has to do something with the tyres, but they were changed 4000kms ago.
    Their physical condition doesn't look like they're losing their grip. Anyone else feeling the same ? Let me know what could be the issue.
    My servicing is pending next month so i am yet to discuss this with the SVC.
    Before i take the bike to them i need to know what could be the cause of the problem, and what the SVC might comment and recommend for rectifying this.

    Cheers and Safe riding.

    Hi hafez812,I've been using Honda Throttle 10w30 Fully Synthetic since 3 years. The bike was in extended warranty so I preferred honda recommended products.But this year as the warranty expired, I used Motul 7100 10w40 F.S. and believe me, its much better than Honda Throttle 10w30. The engine feels as good as new. I am enjoying the engine smoothness it has enhanced and the throttle response is also improved, vibrations are lesser and even the firing sounds smoother.I agree with Bala for coolent and tyres. I dont have any experience of Shell Advance Ultra 10w40.MICHELIN 130 70 r17 costs around ₹5500 where as MRF REVZ Radial 130 70 r17 costs around ₹3500.

    I need some help.
    Today, i changed my parking bulbs to led bulbs.
    Stock parking bulb is 5w and led bulb is 1w.
    Later i came to know that tail lamp bulb is gone!!
    But no idea whether it gone before or after replacement of led bulbs.
    Is this problem occurred to other owners??
    I also changed my pilot lamps to leds.. dont know about their rating though (one unit has 12 small leds in it).. been using them for 5 months now and faced no issues what so ever.
    The problem maybe with your tail lamp I guess

    Will any problem arise if I change the grade?
    Honda throttle is 10w 30 grade. If you want to stick with recommended grade then use honda throttle.

    Shell advance ultra is tried and tested on many cbr's. Many owners are happy with this oil.

    Main point is
    You have to find exact dimensions of stock bearings.
    Hi There,
    Thanks for your valued suggestion. The Service center guys told that the lower one is tapered but upper one is open. Will try to find one you suggested.

My cousin owns R15 2.0 and he always get shoulder and back ache whenever we go on roadtrips however I am always comfortable with no pain. He envy me and always say CBR was a great decision. CBR has quite impressive handling in city. Just the high rpm gear shifting is where R15 takes over CBR in city traffic.

    Happy Riding
    Thanks buddy!
    Now i guess, CBR IT IS! 😎
