Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Standard warranty is 2 years or 32000 kms whichever comes earlier.
Now regarding oil change. There is no hard and fast rule that you MUST do 500 kms for first service or you can't change oil before that. I used my first service in 4 days after doing 289 kms. 2nd service after another 15 days with 800 on the ODO. Warranty never gets void unless you FAIL to service your ride in time!

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

initially till the first 300 km i kept a rev limit of 4 as told to me by the service center guy but after that i take it to approx 5~6
till 4th gear i shift at around 4.5~5 (this is not mentioned anywhere as a hardcore rule or something but find it okkay) and the most important point told to me by the mechanic was to ""vary your rev""....this is quite important to open up your engine properly.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Dude stop that, that service guy is an idiot, we just had a discussion regarding this earlier, go back about 10 pages and start reading. Cbr150r is a high revving machine, the proper rpm range to shift gears is at least above 6k, once engine starts opening up, start increasing. Don't listen to these idiot SVC wala guys, read the manual, there is no restriction on rpm and speed, shifting at 4.5-5k means at third and fourth gear engine is working harder than it should be to provide power, it is struggling, that damages it if you do it for long periods. My bikes is 18 days old, I shift above 7k now, take it to 9k a couple of times whenever the engine is warm, have taken it to above 10k too, but not redlined it as of now.

Engine needs to be at the proper power band to provide adequate power, whenever it is not, I consider that as lugging, as engine is working harder than it should be. Run in means to be easy on the bike, you are not being easy by shifting at 4.5-5k, you are making it work harder.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

I followed the same rule of 5k rpm ( i went max upto 6k) till 1st service. after that I used full synthetic and have been revving above 7k on all gears.
Thankfully No issues faced as of now. While riding single in traffic I have no lugging problems at 5.5k-6k shifts on any gear. But with a pillion, it does have to be revved above 7k.
My max rev till now is 10.5k on the highway. The sound of the engine is orgasmic!

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Thankfully, engines are sturdy and not that fragile, but doing that for long periods of time might harm. Basically, break in is required so the the engine wall and piston can accommodate with each other and get in tune, but with better technology, engines are being built with more precision. That means, very less break in required, this is why the service manual doesn't put any restrictions on speed and rpm.

Also, bought 2 5050 t10 white 9smd led for the pilot lamps. If underglow is legal, I will put a led strip there too. I don't think it should void warranty, anyways, engine is the most important part. They can void the warranty on battery but not on engine. Anyone who knows what the warranty on battery is? Is it upto to manufacturer? Who is the manufacturer, exide?

Yeah, it's manufacturer's warranty, 21 months frm charging by manufacturer or 18 months frm sale, whichever is first. Changing pilot lamps or re wiring the license plate light for underglow shouldn't void warranty on anything else except the battery, but even then you can argue and ask HMSI to prove to these changes caused any harm. Pretty safe I think.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Not sure about manufacturer or warranty of battery. WIll have to check. But I paid some extra amount while buying to get a 5 year warranty on all electricals. I changed my Horn afterwards and the SC guy confirmed that it won't void the warranty. So your lamps shouldn't void the warranty as well. Do confirm from someone just to be safe though.
ANd post some pics after you put them on!!

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

I will!

I too have 5(2+3ext) year extended warranty but they said it doesn't cover electrical parts. I read the warranty instructions, no issues there, I will do without asking. If something does happens, my lawyer aunt will help.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

I understand its a high rev engine but the only reason that me not revving it high n increase the top rev (for now) slowly is coz the engine is new all the parts have to sync in at a stable lower rpm so that they can work efficiently at higher rpm later and since the engine is new and parts are syncing the oil contains some metal particles which can damage the engine at high rev thus i was waiting till the first service. Since the oil is changed then.
Does this have no effect???

and the LED's would surely look amazing do share the pics

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

If it was like that, the manufacturer, i.e. HMSI, would have recommended that, but what do they say, avoid full throttle starts and sudden boosts of acceleration. No limits on rpm, or speed. Of course you should follow basic principles, like idling for at least 30 seconds and then going relaxed for the first few minutes until engine warms up. Also, Cbr150 is pretty relaxed till 7k rpm. It is the same for all Honda sports and high capacity bikes, tht is what my research showed, from 150r to 1000rr.

There are also theories that say engine run in is done in the first 20 miles, going slow will make the engine perform below expected. I don't have enough knowledge to decide who is right, so I am following both of them, I didn't go slow, but I didn't start with full throttles or sudden boosts.

I will, will put them in after the first service which I have delayed to 28th. Will wax it with collinite845, put them LEDs in and click!

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

yup even i do the same, since there are soo many confusing theories even i play it safe :P . These days i change the gears almst at 5 rpm most of the times and shift to 6th gear only if me going above 5 rpm. I rarely chk the exact rpm, i just make sure that the engine doesnt clug and the pickup at each gear is kinda perfect...... Play safe till the first service :P
my first service is due on 7th nov , initially i was planning on getting my servicing done at 500 but now me thinking y not wait for 180 odd km n get it done at 750 only.

BTW i have this small road trip im planning to go on, some 160km total. Would going at a constant speed for small time frames be an issue or i should vary the rev continuously?
n uve taken your bike to what max speed till now? and cruised continuously at what max speed for a small time frame?? (not very small :P :P)

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

5rpm is too safe, open it up, nothing will happen, increase it to 6k, and you yourself will feel bike can still take more, I am shifting above 7k. Well, even in this thread there were theories that run in is well done and over by 250 kms, you should get it serviced at 500. Otherwise you will have to lube the chain yourself too. Service it and then go for the trip.

I think it anyways not possible to stay at constant speeds in traffic, or at least the way I drive it's not, and on empty roads, it's usually accelerate and then decelerate so that I don't crash. :P

I hit 121 on the speedo just an hour ago, could have gone more but there was a heavy cross wind, really strong, even at sixty I had trouble staying upright, head kept leaning. But for Baby, it was like the wind is not even there, even at above hundred, loved it. I stayed at above hundred for sometime today, no issues or noticeable vibes. Even more time at above 90. But not constantly, initially I pushed it up to 121 and then brought it back to 105 and then stayed around that, then a flyover came and I slowed down to 90 even though it was empty.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

What was the rpm in 6th gear when you reached 121kmph?

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Should be in the range of 9.5-10k I suppose. Lets wait for Akash to reply.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

I didn't notice, my attention was on the road mostly with quick flashes at the speedo, didn't notice the rpm. I had actually aimed at hundred, when I reached there I put sixth, but then I decided to go more as the road was clear of traffic, there was red light behind and I was right at front. So I put the bike in fifth and took it high, didn't notice the rpm again but I switched to sixth at around 112, then I went full throttle, bike was steadily gaining speed buy not really fast, I think it took around 5 seconds to reach 121 from 112. I don't think I redlined fifth, must have gone till about 10k, the engine didn't sound like it does when redlined, but then I have never redlined in fifth or even fourth, can't be 100% sure.

I have been trying to post for the past ten minutes, is xbhp down?
