Just to ruin your new bike moment, here are uncommon problems with CBR 250 which happen to few users

1. Stator coil failure - your bike will be difficult to start as the battery dies due to not being charged by the stator coil. 2-3 guys I read have had this problem.

2. Engine auto shut off - check and replace fuel filter and air filter, and if bike is new, petrol may be adulterated.

3. Engine not starting despite repeated attempts - the engine is flooded, Spark plug is wet. Wait for a while, then press starter while simultaneously wring the throttle back and forth. It should slowly begin to start.

4. Clean and lubricate front brake Pistons else they will slowly get phucked up and one fine day, jam.

Avoid frequent water wash. Your bike parts will rust less, and last longer. I water wash once a year, and my chain is doing 38,000 kms and still running fine.

Hehehe...the information is much appreciated.
No bike is perfect . knowing all the things mentioned by you would make my life a lot easier.
On a lighter note it really amuses me to think about the effort that would have been required on your part to compile a similar list if I would have put my money down on a RE.😁😁😁😁

That would take a full page bro. RE guys are the most patient I know. Makes me go awww every time I see a RE chugging along. It's like seeing a Bullock cart on the road, and you unconsciously make cluck cluck noises in your head while watching it pass by.

Yup, the a new repsol edition was brought in by Honda around feb 2017.Lucky me..😀😀😀
Will definitely post the pictures.

Repsol edition is going on for the past 6 months. BTW are you getting a 2016/2017 manufactured bike-any idea on that part?
Also , 10K discount -that's pretty good. Do dealers give this much big amount as discount?
I have seen dealers who are not even willing to reduce the 400-500rs when you reject the free helmet they provides.
Thanks

According to the dealer the repsol thing came in feb, not sure about the 6 months , maybe the typical salesperson strategy.
About the manufacturing year the bike selected by me is a 2017 manufactured unit.
Yeah even its hard to believe the discount I got ,the R15 that i currently own , the dealer had charged me even for the handle bar grips. Maybe they are trying to clear out the BS3 stock before the BS4 regulations hit in, hence the discount.

Cool bro.
When I checked with a dealer here in Navi Mumbai, they were not ready to give any discounts. Heck, they don't even know about the BS4 regulation and dates.
Btw, congrats for your purchase. Do treat us with pics once you have taken the delivery
Thanks

Re: Help in Choosing a New Bike - Dominar Vs CBR250R and suggestions.

I realized there are some vibrations on Dominar, only after reading your question. May be due to, I have test driven Dominar by reaching showroom on RC390. When I compare this Dominar with RC390, I felt this is the best value for money. I don't think it is a good way of expecting refinement of a 150CC engine in a powerful single cylinder Motorcycles. If you compare Dominar with other 350CC Motorcycles, I don't think you can find better refinement.

CBR 250 R is also a good choice, as per my concern it is old but a worthy choice. Dominar is a new entry and its worth is yet to be proven, I think it will definitely get appreciated.

Re: Help in Choosing a New Bike - Dominar Vs CBR250R and suggestions.

I have owned a CBR250R in the past and am considering it again against the Dominar. I'm looking for a pre-owned one in both cases. I have ridden a couple of Dominars with fairly low mileage (<10K) and God, was the engine rough. There was not that much of vibration on the handlebars but it made its presence felt on the tank and footpegs in no uncertain terms.

I haven't ridden the CBR for a few years now, have shortlisted a couple and will take a test ride to compare
