hello guys, just wanna ask u guys regarding the maintenance of both cc. some ppl said that 250cc maintenance cost almost same or same as the 600cc bike. idk whether its true or not. im noobies here. been eyeing on the cb250r for a long time. i dont want to regret later after bought it
cant really compare CC to check on maintenance cost... in terms of normal service, main difference is the amount of engine oil. typically, more pistons, more engine oil.
the CB250R is a single piston which means itll use lesser oil than a 2 piston 250cc bike like the R25 or Ninja 250.
just like the ER6n which is a 2 piston will use less oil than a 4 piston XJ6
cost will also depend on the price of oil u use (sold in 1L bottles). spark plug also depends on number of pistons.
other than that, theres the oil filter cost... diff bikes has diff pricing for their oil filters. major maintenance is valve clearance every 40k km.
then theres the wear and tear stuff....
tires - if u dont need super duper knee and elbow dragging corner performance, u can get a set of 110 and 150 tires (front and rear set) for below RM450 such as the Corsa S123 and Metzeler Sportec Street. both are decent tires and i prefer the Corsa for wet roads. both lasts a decent amount of distance too. 600cc typically uses 120/160 combo...some even 180 i think.
chain and sprocket - can get a set below RM400 for a 250cc.... 600cc i think gonna be around 5xx. typically lasts about 20k km depending on how u maintain it.
and of course insurance and road tax will have quite a big gap.
