CBR250R Race Kit Installation: Installing the Race Wheels

[@SubZerozn]

I have a cbr250r with track kit etc.. also super corsa front sc1 and rosso 2 rear.. I love coming past the bigger bikes on my "single banger" to anyone who hasn't taken a smaller bike to the track.. don't knock it till you've tried it.. huge fun and very rewarding !!!

[@wettooth]

I just rode 50,000+km in Thailand, including a year on the Mae Hong Son loop. In that time on a CBR150 I strafed 30,000-40,000 apexes and had no trouble leaving guys on their 650 Ninjas in the jungle. I'm no Cameron Donald, but with a CBR250R and some decent tires I'd have no trouble leaving 1000cc machines in the dust too, since most riders on the street are unable to ever use their big ego bikes to their machines' limits. Simply turning the throttle doesn't make a fast rider.

Hi bro.. You work really good.. Now can you please teach me how can I change chain set...

[@PeterDad60]

Do you have the 750 and 1000 VFR's? Nice bikes, I raced and beat both of them with my '76 Bonneville. Well I beat every bike on the street for 10 years with my Bonne so that does not mean VFR's are slow. In fact they are fast. Got my CBR250R Repsol late yesterday and put 60 miles on her, but at 5p.m. it got cold and I went home. Nice bike, I'm in the break in and do not excede 5500rpm/55mph but I can see she has acceptable power and handling. I don't like the shift from second down to 1st.

[@thinkgolf]

Well said....Sometimes you have to ask the question are you the bike or is the bike riding you... But what you can handle... I agree

[@PeterDad60]

To HondaCanada: I have purchased a 2013 Honda CBR250R. I would like to know what are the wheel stands used to hold the CBR250R in this video. I do my own maintenance and since my new CBR250R did not come with a center stand, adjusting and even oiling the chain is a chore. I see the front stand goes inside the fork tubes and rest on the spacers between the forks and the wheel hub with about a 6 inch width between the stand contact points. I also see the rear stand is below the swing arm.

[@thinkgolf]

I hear yeah. I like the idea of a nice looking fun to ride bike. I have several Vintage Vf's and I have had My 2013 repsol for 2 weeks. Put a whopping 3 miles on it. When your age goes up, your speed comes down and the wounds heal slower than 50 weight in Alaska. Cheers Fellow repsol Owner..

[@poisedonis]

Nice video

[@QSpeedRacer]

these is a video on here of a guy (most likely pro racer) on a 250cc passing 1000cc bikes on the track.. they pass him on the straight but he makes alot of ground on the turns

[@serialripper1]

Thanks for the video.!

[@ceberrut2000]

So what's the brand? Bridgestone BT003?

[@eldonocampos4215]

HI.. what sprocket size do u prefer to use? how many teeth in drive and in driven? thank u so much..

[@dipteshnaik5542]

sir..... i have CBR 150, and i am facing lot of problem from the time i purchased it from dealer. Problems are : 1. jerk on sprocket while releasing clutch. 2.frequent chain play 3.gear stuck Can you help me out with this....or can you give me rough idea of the problem ...?

[@haryudha1993]

How if we put 110/70 - 17 and 150/70 - 17, is it to big for the rear?

[@mohdzain8916]

What brand tyre and size front and rear???

[@YunantoJuwono]

What's the name of the tires are you using ?

[@panoode]

Cool cool and cool

[@thinkgolf]

Does anyone have any Idea what pin to use on a headlift stand with the cbr250r.

[@apbarry]

Its called a torque wrench, you can get one at an automotive store for less than $50 USD

[@me3sarath]

sir what is the sizes of both the tyres.

[@LamborghiniDriver19]

front is 110/70-17 and rear is 140/70-17

[@produKtNZ]

Why would you install a racekit on a slow single banger? Walking would be fast, surely

[@PeterDad60]

You have what 6 years experience? I have over 20 years of street racing, with 10 years of concsecutive Victories aboard my 1976 T140V Triumph Bonneville. I took her out of retirement in 1992 and was able to beat any motorcyle on the road, even the 1100cc fuel injected Ninja and 1000cc Honda V4. Now tommorrow I will be taking delivery of my new 2013 Honda CBR250R Repsol edition. At my age and experience level it's more fun beating larger bikes with a 250.

[@wettooth]

Smug riders who imagine that no "turd" CBR250R could ever beat them on their polished, ricky-road-racer CBR600RR, I suggest we meet in Thailand one day and have it out. I'm not calling out everyone who rides big bikes, just those riders who have yet to learn that it's not the bike that makes the rider go fast, but rather that it's the rider that makes the bike go fast. Having ridden the equivalent of more than 3000 laps at Laguana Seca, on roads with far more elevation changes, I fear no one.

[@PeterDad60]

More experienced races enjoy it more when they use a small displacement machine to beat a larger displacement machine. I guess your not at this skill/experience level yet. Don't worry, maybe in another 6 years you may attaing this level of skill.

[@coowae]

.... to make it faster maybe?

[@produKtNZ]

Furthermore: "Real racers love to race any machines." - while that may be true.... to a point. Morethanoften the case, anyone that starts out on a 125cc 2stroke WILL have borne a desire to ride a larger displacement bike in the future. It's just how we are, these people you refer to as ... racers (I htink bike racers would me more relevant given the context.)

[@QSpeedRacer]

is kind of annoying there not many corners and twisties where I live unless I head up to the mountain roads.. I am about to join track day school learn how to ride and wear these tires even LoL

[@wettooth]

Like I said, I'm no Cameron Donald, but the North American fetish for big cc bikes has more to do with the vast distances people must travel, and the relative lack of decent roads (Curves!). North American riders compensate for their lack of skill by whacking open the throttle on overpowered bikes which few riders have mastered. The irony is that Spaniards lead the MotoGP class while Americans fumble about on huge sport bikes that they can't even ride properly. Respect to those who CAN ride.

[@Cicero75BC]

You nailed it. I realize your message is 5 years old but you hit the nail on the head. I'm old 51, but new to motorcycles. I live in America (California) and I am starting on a 2012 Honda CBR 250R. I love it.

[@PeterDad60]

Sarcastic aren't we? I'm sure in reality you have nothing to back it up.

[@produKtNZ]

And wrong again. Good at being wrong aren't you? largely because you've assumed that you can hold a candle to me. I have more than 6 years riding experience by myself on the open road, around town and in groups with larger displacement bikes on the local race circuit called Ruapuna raceway. I also never claimed to be a racer. If I did, i would imply that i'm a part time racer, largely due to my working situ.If not for that, i'd live in a tent next to the track :)

[@produKtNZ]

I am entitled to a fair defense. This is my CBR250RR /watch?v=rW5SyGevgGA And a flyby video /watch?v=76LGM_GnVaU So thus you are completely wrong. I have plenty of experience and time spent on both bikes to back up anything I say, beit my personal opinion or not. Irregardless, in terms of motorcycling excitement, the older 90's CBR's have a shittonne more excitement, power AND resale value than the single banger "counterparts"

[@KY1KRR]

"race kit" on a 250???

[@produKtNZ]

Well yeah, granted. But when you polish a turd, it may be all nice n shiny.... but it's still a turd.
