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?

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. :|

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

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

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

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

Dip it once. No need to screw it in.

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?

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

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.

Well, when I visited Tansi Honda I took a look at the rear wheel, I found that dented too. In fact, when I felt the base of the rim, it was cracked!

Yet it didn't leak any air at all, weird. So I'm getting both wheels changed under insurance. Have left the bike at the ASC for repair. Hope I get her back soon.
On the positive side, I was thinking of gifting my ride a pair of rim stripes to make her look better. Any suggestions?

Here's a picture of the bent rear wheel.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Has anyone mounted a mobile clamp on their cbr? If so, please share some pics and also which clamp.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Hi friends. Has some one tried hazard light mod on cbr150r? If yes, please share what kind of hazard light system are you using?

I will be doing one very soon. Shall post pictures if it works out well.

I got both the alloys changed at Tansi Honda this week. Collected the bike on Wednesday. The bill came to 10,446/- out of which 575/- was for labour. The front cost around 4.6k and the rear cost some 5.2k inclusive of VAT.
The ICICI Lombard representative said they'll reimburse around 50% of the amount. Let's see how that works out.

Here are pics of the new alloys. It was raining when I collected the bike so they got dirty already. Pics were clicked the next day. :P
