  • For the past two days while riding in traffic,at 10-20kmph, I felt the front is getting out of grip. Its like the bike is sliding to one side.I dont know whether its the tire or the handle is acting weird! But it never happens at normal speeds. Does anybody feel this?

      Same here...after 120kmph..speed climbs up just like that..Looks like the Bike has enough juice left to hit 150kmph...Hoping for a video shoot on NH7 where traffic density is comparitively lesser

        The way bike feels 100kmph+ is very unlike a 150cc machine..
        It feels like a much more powerful machine..

          Most of the time i rode the bike with pillion (mostly my wife) and even i tried 95-100KMPH with pillion and never felt that issue you have mentioned. i never felt that the rear become so soft and bouncy.
          okay thanx bro then i guess the pillion was very heavy...he was quite fat actually...

                That's great. Please provide links if you could.

                • I got my heating issue corrected.. Apparently the Fan was not working properly. It is now corrected. The heating is much less

                    Wow, lots of 150R's seem to be having an issue with the radiator or fan.. :-/ glad u got it fixed. Any idea what the mech did? And were any parts replaced?

                    In other news, my R16 is going away to her new owner on Monday or tuesday. Getting my CBR 150R the coming week if my finance scheme gets approved in time!

                        No he claims it was having loose connection

                        Any way It seems to do better now

                        • @ Catchdebanjan, even i had faced issue with my 150's radiator, got it replaced with a new radiator fan assy, i had the issue rectified, and am pretty much satisfied with the bikes performance after that. However what hurts me, is that the bikes switchgear is very dissapointing, more so after having seen the switchgear on a stunner, which is almost similar, but at least has a separate pass light switch. I am dismayed that Honda has provided a better switchgear for the stunner, which is a much cheaper bike, while did not do the same , even with the premium pricing for the CBR.

                            The switchgear was already under comment here in this thread. I have decided to go for the 250R switchgear after warranty.

It costs me 1100 rs in total. The guys did the servicing in front of me and i was looking into each and every task he was performing.The grea shifting problem is now resolved. Gear shifting is very smooth. Engine sound is very good and performing superbly. Below is the breakdown of the Servicing Invoice
