Engine Oil - 503.80(shud be mineral oil I think)
Miscellaneous - 45
Teflon Coat - 450
Taxes - 141
Labor is 713.
Grand Total paid = 1217.

I was in a hurry as I was to collect my salary today after the service. SO I just paid the bill and left.

Labour charge for 1st service? and that too more than 700? So, what do free service mean? And the bill is more than Rs.1700 and you paid Rs.12xx..lol ! great calculations..

I know I was being fooled but this will be my last service in this ASC.

Yea I like to rev harder too. But its my opinion and I will be maintaining this only for the first 1000km. After this Ill change.

Good luck with that

My style of riding is shifting at ~5k and am taking her till 7k rpm, when i feel there is no need of shifting up, only at top 3 gears. So, think it'll help her break-in normally. Planning to change the oil once odo reaches 100kms. 60 now.

EDIT: My bad, I still s*ck with maths!

100kms is too low.. let it run for about 200-300 and then change. First service is at 500 ya 1000?

And no problem. You can shift at any rpm but do occasionally revv higher for the piston to get accustomed to higher rpms. otherwise there is no use of running-in the engine if ur piston is only accustomed upto 5k rpm.

Right! I am seeing some saying to keep the revs low some saying to keep them high. Can somebody give me and assured value which has been tried on a similar bike? And also if the Baby CBR is such a revv hungry bike? Why is there need to keep the revvs below 6K assuming that maximum torque is attained at 10500 revs? Is it to improve fuel economy or engine life? Can someone clarify my questions please.

Hi there, being running 2200km on my CBR....

Just want to share my experience, collected my CeeBer end of May,
Running-in thru Motoman method, mean 1st 30km rev high on Gear 2 to 4, rpm don't hit above 9k/rpm....just run her hard!!

After 30KM change the engine oil(mineral oil), now on I'll run her just like normal way we ride a bike,70km/h 90km/h even 110km/h also no problem, but if you don't feel to run until 110km/h, no problem, 95km/h can also.... Most important thing rev high on gear 2-4, let say rev 6k rpm or 7k rpm on each gear....

Change engine oil on 500km, apply the same way as above ,
Change engine oil on 1500km, running-in up top 3000km, change oil, Cheers, Your running Done!!!!

Well, this is what I do on my CeeBer........ And I love her so much....

Okay, will increase the oil change plan a little longer.

Need my baby to be fine and good, that's why so much confusions and questions.
Anywys, thanks for the replies.

Amazing! Exactly the kinda of reply I required. Thank You so much. But one question? You say your on 2200 Kms right? No problem at that but I feel that you wont get any problems initially at below 10k Kms, and also did you repeat that method for 500 and then again for 1500, did you go for the first service yet?

Neither. Keeping revvs below does nothing but increase your run-in period on high revving DOHC engines.

When you keep riding below 5k rpm for a long time, your pistons will get used to being revved upto 5k only. Then when you complete your 1000kms and decide to let her rip, you will feel the engine being sluggish and sometimes the needle will take ages to reach to the topmost permissible rpm on the tacho(experienced by many 250R owners including me). This happens because now ur piston needs to get accustomed to higher rpms(above 5k) and you will spend another 1k or so trying to get the bike to run like you want it to at higher rpms.
This is exactly why we at the 250R thread keep asking newbies to avoid the "revv upto 5k only" run-in method. This isnt an SOHC engine. SOHC engines are built to perform at lower rpms and the 5k rule makes sense. DOHC's work on the other side of the rpm meter, which is why limiting to 5k will only make it sluggish when you open it up.
I hope you got the point.

Im going to do a long drive next week. Ill do as u say.Thx for clearing the doubts about DOHC. Can experiment a lot with the bike. And whether changing pilot bulbs void warranty?

Thanks for that. By the way unexpectedly, surprisingly and most delightfully, I received my Sexy Green Baby today! To be honest am soaring above cloud nine. Even my girlfriend has fallen in love with the machine. To have that power between your legs. Damn it. I will post pics and a first impression soon. Until then Akhil (MadMax2030) is officially a member of the CBR family. Thanks for everyone who clarify my doubts. Am gonna keep my baby locked up for a few days since it has not been registered yet. Hopefully will get it registered soon.

Booked cbr 150 r

I have also booked Cbr 150 r last week

.May be this week i will get delivery of my bike.I have booked black n palm green colour.
I was also confused between the two R15v2.0 or Cbr 150r.
But i made my choice on comfort level,looks,fe and honda quality.
I still own honda unicorn(2004),and i am riding the bike from 8 years,but i have never faced the problem of breakdown or any engine issues.

yep! this baby blade is another example of the refined and smooth honda engines... yet, power-packed... just a shrill of vibes is all you can feel on her!!

EDIT:
The above message was posted yesterday! Strange no messages after that.

Anyways,
Guys, yesterday while riding, I felt her front part, (felt it in handlebar) going up and down like wobbling vertically. I think you can get me. I thought it was something for time and even today I am experiencing that. Can any guess what might be the problem?? Wheel, suspension, forks or some kinda imbalance?? Am blank in checking for symptoms, so it would be helpful if some can point out what to check for!!
