Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Do we specifically have to tell the SVC guys what to change? I was hoping they did everything as required

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Have a quick glance at your owners' manual. If it says 10k intervals, then stick to it even if the mech says its ok.
In future if god forbid you have to avail some part coverage under warranty, these SVC fellows are the first ones to deny your claims stating that you didn't get the parts replaced on time. Trust me, you can do little at that time except getting pissed off.

If your air filter is paper type, then 10k is the limit and if viscous then 15k at most. But it would be mentioned in your manual.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Last Thursday i done 3rd free service @7500 kms.
I told to change air filter. mechanic removed the old filter. Mechanic told that it is in good condition, and no need to change. Even i also felt the same.
So we decided to change it for next servicing @11-12k

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

8-10k km. If you travel through dusty roads, then sooner.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

What is optimal air filter change interval

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Seems pretty normal. In my bike it goes down 5-10psi in 2-3 weeks (mainly the front tyre).

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

How long does air usually stay in your bikes? Mine goes down pretty quickly. Like 3 PSI in 2-3 weeks

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Hi,
Does anyone know the cost of 2+3 years extended warranty (honda shield) for my cbr150.
Currently my bike is 6 months old and 7.5k on odo.

Also, what is the service interval after 2 years standard warranty, if i opted for honda shield??

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Then that has to be the 2016 model because there's no other CBR 150R that I'm aware of!

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

No, the pillion was very clearly separated.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Did the bike you see look like this one below?



If yes, that would be the 2015 Indonesian model.
Again, the picture attached is picked from the internet and not clicked by me. :P

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

I do judge by tyre wear but always use the centre portion of the tyre as my point of reference. I always end up with chicken stripes, and it's actually because I chicken out when the corners start getting sharp. I'm either afraid of falling and ruining the ride, or scraping my AGVSport knee guards that I recently bought for 3k (yes, that is a good amount to me), so I play a bit too safe, every time.
I just want to save up and buy a racing suit with the knee sliders and start killing corners like nobody's business. But it'll take a while to get there even after I get the suit. After all, safety is my first concern.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Looks like it has got some more miles on it. Just be a little careful in mud. And when the day comes, DO NOT judge by the Tyre wear indicator as you don't seem to be banking hard (look at that side profile, as perfect as new). Cheers.

Guys, has anyone seen the new CBR150R in India? It was looking close to this, as far as I remember. Please note that the picture attached is the indonesian variant.



I had seen and had been invited to buy this (or something that looks close to this) in the March of 2016, when I went to buy a 2012 model at Autofin Honda, Himayatnagar, Hyderabad. It had 2 headlamps (like Fazers and R15s) and a seperated elevated tail (again like R15 v2.0) I was not impressed by.

I know that this version is neither on the website nor any announcements were made about it. Please let me know if anyone else had seen this. I would be very delighted if anyone can check with the ASC for the same.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Okay, I took a good look at the front tyre today, and it looks like it'll last just another 5-7k kilometers so forgive my earlier over-optimistic estimate. I don't think I'll even run it more than 7k kilometers. But the grip it provides till date is superb. Here's a few pictures of what it looks like after ~21k kilometers (covered in 1 year and 3 months approx.) which is somewhat comprised of 80% good highways and roads (with the occasional potholes that I always managed to hit), 17% decent but dusty 'kachha' roads, and 3% crappy gravel paths.





P.S. it may currently have a puncture or two as it loses around 4-5 PSI in a week (200-300 kms approx) but apart from this I've never had a puncture in this tyre ever since I purchased it.
When I had the rim-bending incident, I had to ride some 50 odd kilometers back home and 10 more kilometers to the service center the next day, all on an almost flat front tyre (the air escaped through the bent portion of the rim). I was afraid it'd give way and tear somewhere, but since I had no choice, I had to take the risk. And it is still going strong. If I wasn't the kind of person to try upgrading tyres on my bike whenever I change them, I would definitely plan on purchasing this tyre again in the future when it is due for replacement. But I want to try and see if I can get a better Michelin/Pirelli tyre of the same size (don't want to add to the speedo error or take any other risks by installing a tyre of a different size). Cheers, ride hard, ride safe.
