Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Hi All,

I own a CBR150R which is around 4 years old now. My rear tyre (TVS) gave up on me as it had a lot of punctures. I had to change the tyre. I researched a lot about tyres and had 3 Choices MRF, Pirelli, Michelin. Michelin was out of my budget (was costing more than 6k), and heard that Pirelli tyres are too soft for Indian roads, So I had to choose MRF. I was given two choices in MRF, MRF Revz S(130/70 - 17) and MRF Masseter(140/70 - 17). I heard the Masseter was very good and it's better to switch to it, but the problem was tyre profile change. I was not sure about the changing in tyre profile. But after searching online and reading few review I went ahead with Masseter. But after changing I came to know that I can't fit my plastic chain guard as it hits the tyre a little bit. Also I'm a little worried about the tyre hitting the swing arm in the joint as there in only around 5 to 7mm gap between the tyre and swing arm centre joint(near suspension).

Can anyone tell if this will create any problem ? and how can I fit my chain guard back again (without it there is dirt flying all around the bike, not to mention the chain lube.)

Please help.

Hi Guys,

Anyone one of you tried changing the handlebar of CBR 150r. I live in Mumbai and have daily commute of around 50 KMs mostly on Western Express Highway which has so many undulations and pot holes. I am experiencing severe neck and shoulder pain. Some posts on internet suggested changing the handlebar. Suggest me if it can be done and which handle bar will be suitable. Also let me know if the rear monoshock has adjustment for more softer suspension setup.[emoji4]

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Hi there,
Its better to use diesel than petrol as suggested by my Honda SVC friend. Also try to stick to recommended engine oil grade. I.e. 10w30 you can go upto 10w40. I've used Motul 20w50 for a month but the engine response was mediocre. I switched back to Motul 10w40 and I was back in action.[emoji4]

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Why do you feel that the CBR 150R is awesome when it requires the engine has to be rebored?

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Parts of the CBR 150R are expensive. For instance and if my memory serves me right, the clutch plates cost some 8 to 9k and the cylinder kit cost some 12 to 14k if I am not mistaken. I could be wrong, as people who have more detailed insight can chime in. But this is just quote from memory, yesteryear.

Cheers!

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Had recently saw a CBR 150R for sale. When I saw the vehicle, seems like the starter motor gear is gone and should be replaced.
Also, the sales agent said that the engine should be rebored.

Can someone pls help me to get an estimate of replacing the bore(is this cylinder kit) for CBR 150 R?

The bike is awesome and dont want to miss it. At the same time, wanted to know how much it ll cost to replace the bore at Honda service centre.

Pls help me to know and make a decision.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

IIRC Bangladesh doesn't allow motorcycles with more than 150cc (recently, 165cc) to be sold there. That's the reason why so many new launches in 150cc segment there.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Also they've Suzuki gsx 150 [emoji32]

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Soo Bangladesh gets the new cbr 150r but not India [emoji848]

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Does anyone know, hopefully from experience, if the CBR250R fairings will work on a CBR150R? little to no modification hopefully. Both 2011 model range.
Seems I can easily get 250 fairing kits but not 150.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Hey guys
I am planning to buy a cbr 150 of 2012 - 13 model. I am not sure what will be the price for the same. And what aspects should I consider while buying a cbr. Anyone has any clue about the buying cost and maintenance cost then please help.
Thank you in advance.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Can you do me a favor and find out whether your horn switch triggers (+) or (-) lead.

As per the diagram posted your relay requires that the horn switch be (-) lead but that might not be the case with your motorcycle, earlier today wired my P220 and only on on doing a multi-meter test I got to know that the horn switch triggers (+) lead, which I believe is the same in your case as when you connect to Negative terminal of horn it blows continuous as the negative circuit of a horn switch that triggers (+) will be continuous, as for the other terminal it wont work as its positive and relay requires feed from a negative switch lead.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R



Okay, It means i should try connecting the ends from the horn button one by one to the Switch terminal in horn. Assuming that the other end of the horn button should be grounded. I have already tried this combination and the resulting scenarios are

1. When the circuit is completed the horn starts honking non stop even with the ignition still off, leave out pressing the horn switch. I will have to pull out the battery terminal or any other connection to make it stop.
2. Nothing, no response even when the ignition is turned on and horn button pressed. The circuit doesn't get powered.

Attaching the Circuit diagram I am trying.


Any help to proceed? If no other way means I will have to get a 4 pin relay.
TIA

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

In the 4 pin relay you can connect both the stock horn lines without a bother about the polarity but for 3 pin relays you have to only connect the trigger line leaving the other one to be, in which case you would have to determine polarity based on your wiring.

In simple words, connect one line to the relay and honk, if it works all is well, if not connect the other one and you're good to go.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Hi all, need help with wiring dual horns to cbr 150r. Please be noted i am using the 3 pin roots relay, not the more common 4 pin one. How would you include the OEM switch (trigger should be taken from the wires wich are connected to the default horn). Can anyone help me. TIA.
