    In other words, what did you do when you got your bike?
    To be frank, I didn't check anything coz I was too excited! [emoji14][emoji28]
    Just check the chain for any rust and the chain sprockets. And more than this nothing to check deeply! Just go and get the bike happily!

    Hey Guys!
    After long deliberation I have decided to go with the R15S. Could you please tell me as to what should I look for while purchasing this bike. I am not asking about the PDI checks. Its something that you as a R15 owner and buyer have identified that is speccific to this bike. Thanks in advance!!

    Naveen1985, go for the CBR 250 eyes closed then. Because on the point of maintenance, Honda scores. 70 day service interval is a joke for a bike as well engineered as the r15. I had the same decision to make 4 years ago, and I'm glad I chose the Honda. A couple of CBR owners have stretched the service interval of their bikes to 8000 kms once or twice on long tours, and their bikes still perform well at 1,00,000 kms.
    100% agree on this one sir. its even worse when you use expensive fully synth. engine oil, and the auth. service centers drain it out at just 3K kms, saying that its written in the service book and you'll void the warranty if the oil is not replaced. A reliable Jap bike should have wider service intervals.

    The chain and sprocket set of the r15 costs ~₹300 more than the CBR 250.

    Stuff like fuel filter would cost more, as Honda has it imported from Thailand.

    Can you compare R15 and cbr250's maintaining and regular service cost...?? I want to know whether the maintenance cost of cbr250 is double of R15's or it is like 20-25% more only.

    TIA

    With the current scenario, if you are owning an ABS equipped CBR, then yes, the servicing regime is comparatively costlier than R15. Honda's part prices are ridiculously priced, and especially CBR's parts are always sold at a premium. R15's part don't cost a bomb per se, but compared to the other 150's it has the costliest parts, both mechanically and aesthetically.

    One is a capable tourer and sports motorcycle, one is an aggressive corner carver, if you drop, remember boy, both are expensive. Which side of the coin are you on, you decide.

    Cheers!
