Re: Gear shifting problem in cbr 150r

Hi
I too own a CBR 150R. Experienced gear shifting problems myself. The 1st and 2nd gear on my feels pretty hard and some times the gears get stuck. I have to open the throttle a little and then the gear clicks in although this happens only sometimes specially during rapid downshifting after slowing down from high speeds.
Mentioned it to the mechanic during my bike's fourth service. I think he made some clutch adjustments and the gear shifting improved to a certain extent. I guess this is a flaw with the transaxle design of the bike.

P.S: I have got all the servicings done on time and got my chain and sprockets replaced as well during the fourth service.

Re: Gear shifting problem in cbr 150r

Its because of your gear shifting nature.
I am not personally not an owner of 150r, but my brother has...
I have also the same problem with his bike. But he doesn't
I am riding on my 200NS. Many times, I had to shift twice to get 2nd gear from first gear @ most of the time.
You have to pull hard from first to second. didn't use "gentle" shift.
His bike's gear shifting is smoothest than my 200NS

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Wow!! Im buying her for sure. At what RPM does it do 100kmph n what was the RPM at 152kmph?

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

normally we can hit 100kmph at 7th rpm..but top end depends up on your road,wind,and mainly gear shift...

Special thanks to B2W, Dhiman Jyoti Sarmah, jomindolges, mulli84, neobiker,BTW ...sorry i didnt see ur replies wrt my last post

Got my CBR on 10 jul....No words to describe my happpppppiiinessssss on that day....Got my blade in black, the Color didnt disappointed me but the tyre does(MRF, Gone fish tailing twice in 8 days)

Got some photos on my first day encounter with the bike

Now my yammie friends are tongue tied after realising its humbleness in low rpms and beastfull nature on high rpms

They irritated me by pointing out the rubber foot pegs ( So What , i changed it) It costs me only 400 bucks to shut their mouth)


I didnt transport it to Coimbatore since my plans are changed, now having 700 kms in my odo (just in 8 days of using it)

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Then Sir, you have lot of Speedo error or you clocked that speed in a downhill
CBR 150's true top speed is 132 or 134 km/hr n it would take a huge amount of seconds to reach that speed after 120kmhr

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Oh. But i have seen some indian guy doing 156 at 10500 rpm on youtube, though it did take a lot of time. Was able to hear the limiter struggling to keep revs at 10500. Dont know if it was a stock cbr or a modded one.
Btw, ajay, please give me some insight on the bike as im looking forward to buy her.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

hello everyone.....well its long time i havent been here on this forum.....but seriouslly i was busy with my fireblade
just finished 15500 km on odo and got the first paid service.....but to my surprise the chain and chain spoket of my bike had to be replaced .....strange for me as to why so early ie within 11 months chain spoket got worn out....but overall the CBR150R is rocking....
will complete 1 yr of my CBR on 26th aug.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Well, Duh you have clocked 15500kms, the average life of chain n sprockets is from 14k to 17k for cbr 150/250

SO your B'day of your Babyblade is same as mine(not my bike's :P) ie 26th aug

Since you were looking for top-speed you can go for P220 144kmhr or P200ns 136kmhr. But the main defect of Pulsars are its life. would have only 70% of a honda's or hero's life. but bajaj are known for its VFM. If you buy any of the above pulsar you could save a good 30000rs extra

CBR 150 for its price I don't think its worth, if you pay 35k more you get a cbr 250 which have 25bhp of power or if you pay 13k more you get The Orange Venom Duke 200 which is a looker(top speed 138) and also has 25bhp of power. Accelerates like rocket(little less than cbr250). If you can extend the budget then there is Duke 390 which is only 1.80 lakhs with ABS

Anyway lets get back to the topic

+ points of cbr 150
Technology
Looks good, even better than cbr 250 (interms of silencer)
Top speed 132kmhr(gps indicated)
Comfortable for long rides
Reliability cuz its a Honda product

- points
Expensive for a 150cc bike
Under powered 17.5 bhp (r15 accelerates faster with 16.8bhp)
Very low torque of 12.6 nm

If you can wait a little more, Pulsar 375 is coming with full fairing. Price would be 1.45 L. Top speed would be 175kmhr


The choice is yours. Since you have budget for CBR 150, you could go for duke 200 just by paying 13-15k more


P.S all the above mentioned TOP speed are True top speed ie GPS indicated and not Speedo indicated

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Thanks for the details buddy,
Cbr 150 : 1.44L
CBR 250 (abs) : 2.08L
Duke 390 : 2.12L

So theres a difference of 54 grands between 150 n 250.
But duke is not my game, d200 too stressed and naked. Not so comfortable for touring. Besides i will b touring in doubles (me and my gf) she would kill me if i buy duke which has almost negligible pillion seat.

Duke 390, lol, my mistake that i didnt share that my gf will also ride the bike. She rides well but i dont wanna give a 45 horses to a gal who doesnt know anything about power. She just knows that she has a bike and she has to open full throttle in every gear, that's my influence though i dont want her to power wheelie by mistake.

CBR 250 ABS is an awesome option but i dont have that budget let me know if 50 thousand people on xbhp can lend me 2 rs. each, then it will b possible

P375: i never trust pulsars except p135, but i believe they will take pulsar to the nexy level and thats why im waiting for its launch n test ride.

So im left with CBR 150 now, high price for a 150cc but after all that 150 cc can give me almost same high speeds as duke 200, p200ns, p220 plus with a compatitively better average. And a DOHC engine which will never let me worry about its life after those high speeds n full throttle. It has a fairing, with pillion comfort and my favorite red and white colour. Its a 150cc which performs better or at least same as 200, 220 etc (dont count the power) talking about engine reliability and tops n cruising speed, is way too smooth compared to pulsars vibrations.

However, im just waiting for p375, if it offers a less vibrating machine then i will go for it else cbr150.

Btw, i touched 146 (speedo) on an acquaintance's cbr 150. Struggled after 132.
