Honda Cbr 250R 2011

[ThaiMouse]

I had a little run in with something- how much would a new standard exhaust cost? Anyone had to replace theirs?

Hey snowflake I hope you are ok?

The stock exhaust is ugly as hell- if you dinged yours why not use it as an excuse to replace it with something better?

For once Tony is right .

How about one of these https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/media/set/fbx/?set=a.198258793545551.42952.132479710123460 Mine should be arriving any day now

I agree Tony it is fugly to the limit it is not understandable to why Honda put it on...

BUT

I am going to sell my bike in about 4 months, so I am not willing to put on a nice exhaust now, unless it is cheaper than the original...

I am very ok, the bike did not go down, just messed up the exhaust somehow... still working but not cosmetically up to standard of me selling the thing...

If I sell it it has to look nice (even if it is ugly there are some people out there who likes that exhaust or dont care about it)...

So, does anyone know how much a new one will cost?

I will check on the price and let you know. Thanks.

A new stock exaust should cost between 7,000-8,000 baht, depending on which dealer you get it from.

Peng mak, you may as well replace it with a decent one.

Anyone (Brian?) know the chain size on the CBR? Thanks.

[SumetCycle]

The CBR 250 has a chain length of 108. AP Honda sources their chains from both RK and DID.

I'm guessing it's an O ring?

Interesting, I heard that a DBS aftermarket exhaust would cost much less at 5,000...

Really?

Don't suppose that Honda charges a bit more for the catalyst do you?

Yes, it is an O-ring type.

Yeah ... I wonder if they'll accept a trade in the original for an aftermarket and some cash...

this chain is offered by Kittisak and K-speed for 1600, its a x-ring type...

[hehehoho]

The nice triangular DBS muffler (carbon fibre) is 6,500. Same one as the ninja.

Had a DBS muffler on the old CBR150, very loud even with the noise killer inserted. I lasted all of 1 hour driving around in Pattaya before a cop snuck up behind me at the lights and extracted the key. Wrote me a ticket and the main cop shop extracted 1000 baht! Maybe the fact that it was a bright multicoloured (titanium look-alike) might have given the game away!

The dbs exhaust for the cbr250 will be quieter, that is why there is a continued delay as its not exactly the same as the ninja one.i

[hehehoho]

^ I was under the impression that the new triangle shaped one that they list for both the ninja and CBR was it.

And that the delay was only in producing the downpipe for it.

I know they were delayed for the past month or so with a big order from Europe on a different pipe, but it was only the CBR250 downpipe they were going to develop for that same muffler. Not another pipe and muffler from scratch.

Can see it here third pic down.

Am 90% certain that's the case.

1,000bht just isn't enough for some <deleted> exhaust systems.

Cheaper just to wack a hole in the pipe cos that's what it sounds like... espcially if you've lived near a main road with wannabe Rossis thrashing tin cans up and down the road.

Right. That's off my chest then...

I speak with Visit at dbs every few weeks and post updates here, the above is all correct but they have decided to make a quieter pipe which is the one they will sell for the cbr250, maybe the same for ninja too. His number is on his website so you can double check, his English is good.

Any more info on it? design/styling?

price?

estimated month of release?

[hehehoho]

With regards to lubing the chain, I've been using ordinary engine oil wiped on with a cloth once or twice a week. Seems to do it well enough.

It's the same carbon triangle design that is on his website but he's trying to make it quieter, too many fines.

[hehehoho]

Interesting, thanks.

BTW, appears to be some price gouging going on in American dealers at the moment.

Is the new Honda CBR 250R better than a 1982 Super Dream?

And another interesting article about why modern bikes are heavier.

I'm waiting for the Yoshimura muffler to become available. Anybody know if this is available and at what price? Have seen pictures of one on a CBR250r and looks awesome.

I think Kittisak has the Yoshimura R-55 - THB 32,000

Looks like CBR 250R owners need to find some mates from Australia since their dealers seem to be offering the following additions.

Triple Tree (notice the aftermarket fork pre-load adjusters and grips also would help load the front tyre for spirited rides):

Resized to 45% (was 2756 x 1825) - Click image to enlarge

Moriwaki Rearset:

The Moriwaki bike as in the pic was on display at Hond's Fun Fest last October so I would think the triple tree, rear set and exhaust are all Thai manufactured?? or available in Thailand anyway. Just now I am in Australia and will go into a Honda dealership this week to ask about the Moriwaki upgrades.
