  • Re: Honda CBR 150 R

    Guys please advice me on applying brakes ()....sorry it may look silly but I am still not getting confidence for sudden brakes at >90...because my bike fish tailed many times at high speed...I tried many different combinations(front and rear) of applying but I didn't get it....
    But I can manage to apply sudden brake even at >120 with other bikes

        I think you should practice emergency braking on an empty stretch of road, if it's fishtailing, too much pressure on the rear brake. I practiced keeping a constant pressure on the rear brake and progressive braking with the front. I never put more pressure on the rear brake even in emergency, one constant pressure which reduces speed without locking the tire. Front is anyways more powerful and if you lock your front, you fall. Squeeze a little bit first, which reduces your speed slightly, then a little more, then a little more and then, if required, completely.

          Add downshifting a couple of gears into the mix. Engine braking works wonders.

            Oh yes, down shift, but not a couple of gears if coming to a stop, downshift ten times to make sure you are in first in case you need to make a quick getaway, check the rvm for vehicles, you don't whether they can stop as quick as you or not.

              I finally changed my tail lamp and license plate light to LED today!
              It was a good+bad result. Here is a detailed review.

              The license plate lamp was a nice upgrade. It looks like the Duke's now

              The LED tail lamp looked nice, but overall this was the disappointing part. The end result was poor. The brightness of the LED was low compared to the stock bulb.

                You can dry wash (compressed air) the disc pads to get rid of the sound immediately. Water wash helps too, but it doesn't guarantee a thing. Wet disc assembly would attract dust particles soon. Else, if its not annoying, you can let it be. It usually goes off within a few days.

                  Congratulations on the purchase. You quoted the answer to your query.
                  If the rotor is getting extremely hot, then maybe the pistons are stuck and need lubrication. Its a 10 min job at the SVC.

                      At Korlai lighthouse, should have turned on the pilot lamps too.
                      Wow..looks like a movie teaser. Impressive
                      Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                        Just avoid sudden acceleration and red lining for 1k odd kms.
