About the Honda CBR250R

Overview

The Honda CBR250R is a sports motorcycle from Honda. It has been discontinued (production ended around 2020). Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Sports bikes put performance first, usually with a sportier riding position and sharper handling than everyday bikes. With a 249.6 cc engine it sits in the 150–250 cc class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 249.6 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 25.7 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 22.9 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. Its bore is wider than its stroke (76 mm x 55 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 156 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds. The claimed top speed is 135 km/h. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 5-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

It is built around a Twin-Spar type frame. Suspension is by telescopic fork at the front and Pro-Link mono shock at the rear. Braking is by a disc at the front and a disc at the rear, with a combined braking system (CBS). Using the rear brake lever also applies some front brake, which shortens stops for riders who lean on the rear brake. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 110/70-17 at the front and 140/70-17 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 784 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 167 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 145 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. It is 2,030 mm long, with 1,369 mm between the axles. Its 13 L fuel tank and claimed mileage of 30 kmpl work out to roughly 390 km per tankful on paper; real-world range is usually lower.

Features and equipment

Equipment includes an analogue and digital instrument console, an LED headlamp, stand alarm, kill switch and clock. Safety equipment includes low fuel indicator.

Care notes for this model

Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment.

Maintaining the Honda CBR250R

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Disc and Disc brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Coolant & cooling system

    A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 110/70-17 / 140/70-17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    The battery is listed as 12V 6Ah (MF). Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Honda CBR250R specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

CBS
Combined braking system. Pressing the rear brake also applies part of the front brake, which helps the bike stop more evenly.
OHC / SOHC / DOHC
How the engine's valves are operated. OHC and SOHC mean one overhead camshaft; DOHC means two, which usually allows higher revs and more power from the same size.
Fuel injection
Petrol is delivered by an electronically controlled injector instead of a carburettor, which helps with easy starting and steady fuel economy.
Liquid cooling
Coolant circulates through the engine and a radiator, keeping temperatures steadier than air alone, especially in traffic or under load.
Monoshock
A single rear shock absorber that does the work of a pair.
Tubeless tyres
Tyres with no inner tube. A small puncture usually loses air slowly, which makes roadside repair easier.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
