  • Spare parts availability between Yamaha Fazer 250, Dominar 400 & CBR 250R

    Since I believe that a good availability of spare parts is key to a peaceful ownership experience, I would like to know which of these bikes have the easiest availability of spare parts- Fazer 250, Dominar 400 and Cbr 250r. I am especially interested in the Dominar 400. For example, how long do you have to wait for the spare parts ? Please exclude normal consumables like brake pads, sprockets, cables or air filters. I am more interested in those parts which might need replacement due to malfunction or an accident.

    Also it will be great if you can talk about the service experience or quality for these brands in Delhi. Thanks in advance !

      Availability of parts would entirely depend on which part of the country you are in.
      In Tier 1 cities and metros, parts should be easily available.
      I have very good experience with Honda. Here in Bangalore, they have all most all parts for CBR 250R readily available (including fairing). Same goes for the CBR 650F which has been replaced by CBR 650R.
      I cannot say the same for Yamaha, as getting parts for my R3 is a pain. Anything beyond the regular parts is a back order which means minimum 2 weeks of waiting.
      Not sure about Bajaj as I do not like the brand due to their quality related issues and reliability, hence not interested. Have faced multiple issues with my Discover 125 DTS-i.

      Kawasaki Ninja 1000 2019 -> 2019
      YZF-R3 -> 2017 -> SOLD 2019
      CBR 250R -> 2017 -> SOLD 2017
      Ninja 650 -> 2016 -> SOLD 2018
      Blue Activa 125 -> 2016

      Black Discover 125 DTS-i -> 2005

        The advantage of owning a Bajaj is that for some reason if you are unable to source/arrange spares locally then you order Genuine spares online from www.99rpm.com

          Getting Bajaj spares is easier and more cost effective. That's the best part owning a Bajaj. CBR is a dead product and it may get axed any time. Fazer 25 is another dead product not producing results that the Fazer 150 did.

            Gixxer 250 will make it even worse for the fazer.

              That's the plan and worth looking at.
              Yamaha needs to be taught a lesson for India. Don't mint money from Indians and don't give us rubbish.

                Suzuki will get people's choice award for listening to indian customers.

                  Don't write my Fazer 25 off so heartlessly yet...I am yet to start my tenure of touring with it. It's in break-in period & this is what I get to read

                  As they say it's not about the ride, it's about the rider. Besides all that, underneath the clothing it's as much a wolf as an FZ25.

                    I hope this time Suzuki will keep the quality in check as the first batch of Suzuki Gixxer 155's were plagued with Rust issues.

                      Fazer had/has so much potential but underwhelming specs 20BHP and costs a bomb and 5 kidneys.

                          You seem to have real dislike for Fazer 25...

                          It does not look ugly in Black colour, I was also kind of shocked when I saw that hideously designed fairing in red, cyan colour but when I saw it in black; I bought it. Because it has great side profile & front looks better in black, it takes time to grow on you though as we are used to conventional face of faired bikes. Click image for larger version

                            Black looks good ! But, fazer will be discontinued soon, like fazer 150 . People will spend more and buy gixxer instead [emoji23][emoji23]. Your bike is in danger !

                              Ha ha ha...u r mistaken my friend. My bike is not in danger.

                              My last bike was Hero Impulse which was discontinued just couple of months after I bought it, yet I toured on it extensively & sold it after riding 80k+ KMs in a great condition. So you can imagine how this FZ25's unloved twin is going have good time with me. Fazer may not have looks but it has got character & not a shallow one at that.
