Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Sorry abt the unfortunate incident. You can replace it under insurance claim as It would dig a hole in your wallet for about ~8k. I had changed the rear rim in my cbr which costed approx ₹8600.

If I were you I would try to do the same mod by installing a cbr250r's switch Gear.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Hi guys..I'm new to this thread. I m planning to install kill switch and a passlight to my cbr by replacing it with pulsar's switchgear. Has anyone done it? or any advice on this?? please reply!!

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Here's the picture. Only the left side is dented, the right side is perfectly fine.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Not a prob...go ahead i did 600+ many times in a day without facing any issues that too, many times, full throttle in highways.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Hi folks,
Today (or tonight, I should say) I was unfortunate enough to hit a deep pothole at around 60kmph and dented the front rim of my beloved 150R. This happened at around 10:20 p.m. on q rather deserted road. (So much for night exploration. ) Immediately upon impact, I heard the sound of the air leaking out of the tyre and well, I had to ride a good 37 kilometers pretty carefully to get back home. Luckily, nothing happened to me and the impact didn't shake up the bike, so I was lucky not to have my riding gear tested.
The dent doesn't seem to be a major one. It looks rather small (to me atleast). There are no visible cracks in the wheel as of what I could make out in the low light on the roads. I shall click a picture in the morning tomorrow and post it here for better reference.
However, I'd like to know whether it is recommended to get a new wheel instead or get the existing wheel repaired?
What is the cost of a new front wheel? If I have to get the wheel changed, should I get it changed under insurance, or pay from my own pocket?

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Dip it once. No need to screw it in.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

I need to make a habit of checking oil level occasionally. Confused about the proper way to check dipstick. After initially removing and wiping it, do you screw it again all the way or just dip it once and check oil level?

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

How does the bike fare for long rides? Like 600kms? Planning to do a Bangalore to Kochi trip next month

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

They are using honda mineral oil in your bike.(not honda throttle)
Tell him to use honda throttle or change ASC.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

either they are idiots or they are blatantly lying to you. CBR engine is super smooth with the THrottle oil, just try it for once from another SC

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

By any chance are you referring to the one that comes in black bottle?(sorry I dont know the name)

The guys at the ASC where I go to fill my bike with the one that they use in Activa and other bikes which costs around 250-300rs.
Everytime after 1-1.5k kms my bike starts feeling rough and hence thougth to change the oil for good.

Also, I asked them if I could switch to the one that comes in black bottle and they blatantly refused stating that it is only for the 250R and also it would void my engine warranty if I change to any other than what they use. Is that true?

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

3k kms!? Mine starts to feel rough after only 1-1.5k kms! Please read my reply to bala's comment.
I am really confused at this point. :|

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Today, the ignition thingy came off when I tried turning the key. Took it to service centre and got it fixed. I'm starting to doubt the quality of this bike

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

If you go by the user manual it says 10w 30 and then 10w 40 for the conditions where temp are high.

Honda throttle is not bad, it can easily last for around 3 to 3.5K kms. If you wish to extend the drain interval then shell advance ultra 10w 40 is the bestest oil you can get for CBRs and which will beat motul oils hands down.

Dig a bit deeper into both 150 and 250 ownership thread and you will see what shell.advance ultra is capable of.

Cheers,
Sanjay

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Why you don't want to use honda throttle engine oil?? Any bad experience with it?
Just curious because i still using honda throttle engine oil.

Motul synthetic oils are of 10w40 grade. N honda recommended 10w30.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Go for Motul Full synthetic and for the oil change check youtube
