Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Thanks for the suggestion Sanjay

any idea how much will cost for the color updation in RC book, i know that it might vary in different states.

i used clean my Bike daily, so PITA is not at all a issue .

any pros and cons you know in Matte

Cheers

All said and done, before taking the delivery do a pdi, which should include the following checks :

1. Engine oil level
2. Coolant level
3. Switches working smoothly
4. Chain should be lubed
5. Take a small ride and check for wobbling
6. Tyres

The warranty IMO is as below :

2 years or some xx amount of kms and then 3 years of extended warranty. Not sure about road side assistance.

Don't go for Teflon coating, its a pure waste of.money. Instead, get some polish compound and do the polishing part at home. Seat cover, I don't think it is needed as it will have dealer name printed on it which will look super ugly. Ask for a parking cover instead of a seat.

When I took the delivery of my bike, I did not ask for any fancy things such as bike cover, seat cover, number plates and teflon coating etc. Dealers are just eating money on this additions.

Instead get the bike and get other things yourself.

1. Parking cover 200-250 rs
2. Number plates - 350-400rs
3. Seat cover - bot needed
4. Teflon coating - I guess you are paying Money for 3 times Teflon coating a year. Best is get some polishing compounds for the price you are going to pay for teflon and do polishing part at home.

BEFORE YOU START RIDING YOUR BIKE, READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL PROPERLY. Also spare some time and read the ownership thread

Cheers,
Sanjay

First, if you are changing the color of your bike, you will have to make changes in the RC book/card as well which will cost you additional.money for the alterations needed in RC card.

Stickering is not a long term thing, stickers will loose their properties soon and cannot withstand rain, summer when compared to paint.

Maintaining a full black color is sometimes PITA as you cannot keep the dust off every time. Never heard about satin, glossy paint will get scratches and swirls as time passes by. Go for matte.

Cheers,
Sanjay

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Hi Friends ,
Am new to the group, this is my first post in this baby CBR group, but am here to get lotta advice from friends like you.
Am an old school Classic CBZ Owner(still love driving it) , but its time has come and its got to be replaced soon. It was always a dream to own a sports bike and due to some or other issues had to delay it.
Today I had the opportunity to get a glimpse of the new 2015/16 Baby CBR in Blue color. Am just Mesmerized by the sheer awesome color combination, no offence to anyone, i just love black better than white. Am based in Bangalore, thinking to pick this up tomorrow.
I took it for a test drive loved it, odo had 18km already on it, the SVC engineer told that they had to drive it from Godown to the showroom as this was a single piece which arrived yesterday.
Am attaching the pics. Please give me some tips of what all i need to look before i buy and before taking the delivery. I just loved the way it drove and looked. Sales guy told me the new Color has 1bhp extra than old baby CBRs , but i doubt that !
Any advice would be well appreciated. Like what all things i need to buy for taking care of the new Baby CBR, and Sales guy told me that they have 5 years engine warranty but only 1 year Road assistance service and 1 year Normal Full Warranty and Insurance.. (I read somewhere that they give 2 year full warranty ) Is that correct... ?
They are giving me 1) Teflon coating 2) seat cover 3) Number plate with the final on road price, but no Parking cover !! I negotiated but the sales guy said i have to buy that extra .. Anything else i need to be aware of ? Or anything else i should get or ask for free along with the final price of the bike ?

Looking soon to be a Baby CBR owner ..

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Okay thanks! Will get 'em as soon as possible!
By the way, what do you mean by cracked locks? :what:

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Yeah Gotcha.. It is available, my mechanic bought some while fixing the cracked locks in my fairing and he sorted out by re molding.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

1) There's nothing wrong with the stock one, I just prefer a white colour there instead of the yellow. And I can add a piece of black tint film to reduce the brightness to a great extent, so that's not an issue.

2) No not the black rivets. There are white clips on the fairing panels. Refer the attached picture.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

1) LED for license plate? Why? What's wrong with the stock? It ll be too bright IMO.

2) Are you talking about the rivets? But I believe the rivets are black. Please post a pic if possible.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Well, my DIY job didn't turn out too good either. The morning sun was hot enough to shrink the carbon fibre I wrapped 3 parts in, and it's a total waste now.
Guess I should just leave these jobs to the pros, which is on the rather expensive side, or just stick to the stock looks, which are still damn good as they are.

I have 2 questions though, so somebody please help me out here :-

1) I was looking to change the rear number plate lamp to an LED. Any specifications (power ratings etc.) I should watch for?

2) I happened to accidentally break a few of the small white coloured plastic clips that hold the fairing panels firm to the bike while getting them off. Any idea if I can get them separately? Because having to change an entire panel just for 2 small plastic clips that are smaller than a pen cap, would be just ridiculous! (Obviously, I will ask the SVC this, but I'm just hoping to find some sense of security until I get there :P)

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Good that you didn't order them, it's crap! That so called carbon fiber thing chips off and it's getting ugly on my 250r.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

I asked the Honda ASC guys (Vihaan Honda) to order the Carbon-Fibre printed accessories for me but they didn't have the part codes to order them.
So I contacted Honda Customer Care via e-mail regarding the parts and about a month later, they called and asked me to put the Parts Manager on the phone the next time I went to the Honda ASC and they would help me procure the parts. And the next time I went there, that's what I did. About an hour or two after I got back home, the ASC guys called me up and told me that the total cost of all 5 parts was 6,363/- which is really high for me.
Just the chain cover costs 1,818/- it seems!
So I ordered some Carbon Fibre wrap online and am going to do a DIY job on some of the plastics!

By the way, I got some headlight tinting film and tinted the indicators too!


Black tint film on the rear indicators.


Grey tint film on the front indicators.


A comparison of the three colours.

I plan on tinting the tail-lamp grey, but am still deciding on that.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Ouch, that is just sad.
I guess the only option you have is to get it repainted.
Or you could look into some good tank grip pads which would cover the scratched area and also add some utility to your ride.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Hey,
Dis is my cbr's picture attached.I parked my bike and when i went to get my bike ,i saw the bike fallen on another scooty.i don't know how that happened. Pls help me in removing the paint chip from the body.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Front mudguard of most Honda motorcycles cost somewhere around 750-800. Try checking with Sai Point Panchpakhadi

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Can anyone tell me the approximate cost of the front mudguard? Vihaan Honda says it's around 850 bucks! I recently got the exhaust cover changed and that costed 829/- inclusive of all taxes. How can a piece of fibre be costlier than a larger piece of metal?! 😐
