  1. Rebel 450
    Hey y’all, would love some input … Bike: ’86 450 Carb: Mikuni (30?) As some of you might know, I’ve been tinkering the last few months, and I am currently happy with where things are. But one persistent issue remains … After struggling a bit with finding the right adjustments (I cleaned my...
  2. Rebel 450
    Hi -- My '86 450 has a Mikuni carb, two air filters ... I'm in LA, so it's hot, but I still start my bike up using both chokes (Mikuni carb), but I turn them off almost always immediately after start, and let it idle for about a minute before getting on the road -- and it usually idles...
  3. Rebel 450
    Hello all! I just got my 1986 Rebel 450 last weekend, it was running great until it wasn't, idling awful like only one cylinder was going. The guy told me in his time of having it he never cleaned the carbs, it was his wife's, so I did a small cleaning, just with spray, I know I should soak it...

  5. Newbie Lounge
    Hey guys, so first off, one thing I’ve noticed is this is a MUCH more pleasant environment than Reddit 🥴 I’ll start with this, I know very very little about mechanical things but am really excited to learn. a neighbor gave me a 1986 450 that had been sitting for at least 4, maybe 5 years. Gas...
  6. Rebel 450
    Hey there -- Would love some advice. So for the past three weeks, my Rebel '86 450 has been feeling "weak," especially as I downshift towards a light/stop sign -- to the point where I've been throttling it to give it some life. Then yesterday, after a week of no-riding, I couldn't even keep...
  7. Rebel 450
    Hi, Got my '86 450 about 18 months ago, immediately got a new battery for it (KMG Sealed Maintenance Free), has been fine. Yesterday, I forgot to lock my handle bars, I must've pulled the key out in the ON position -- anyway, came back FOUR HOURS LATER, battery was drained -- called AAA, got...
  8. Engine, Carburetor, Fuel System & Exhaust
    Hi everyone, I was out riding my 450 and my engine started to sputter like it may be running out of gas. When I increased the throttle it sounded even worse like it was going to die. After about a minute, it did die. Had to move the bike to the curb. I added a gallon of gas to the tank but it...
  9. Rebel 450
    Hi, I need to get a crush washer at the hardware store for my oil drain bolt, '86 450 -- don't know what size, is it 12mm or 14mm? Thanks!
  10. Rebel 450
    Hey, y'all -- Ugh. I just finished my second oil change on my '86 450, so the process/details aren't completely second-nature yet ... (My first time, I put too much new oil in, had to loosen the bolt and drain a bit out, was very messy, but I learned my lesson.) This second time, I put in...
  11. Rebel 450
    I just wanted to say, I put the Mikuni vm30 carb kit on my 1986 Honda rebel 450. I was really blown away by it! At first, as always, it needed a few tweaks. But within just a couple hours of tweaking the kit was on and set to run at its best. Super easy an I have very moderate experience with...
  12. Honda Rebel Room
    Hey all, I just picked up a 1986 honda rebel 450 and it does not have a gas tank. I have found a 2004 rebel 450 gas tank and was wondering if anyone knew if it may fit? I did not relize that it would be hard to find a used oem tank. With that said if anyone has a 1886 gas tank or another year...
  13. Electrical, Charging and Battery
    On my 450, the rear turn signals have 3 wires for running lights. My clymers manual wiring diagram shows that the rear signals only have 2 wires. Are my rear turn signals supposed to be running lights like my fronts and the manual is wrong? Or has it been modified..I broke a wire on the socket...
  14. Honda Rebel Room
    Does anyone know the size of the O-rings on the small aluminum tube (Fuel Joint) that connects the carbs? The Joint is no longer available and I believe it was sold with the O-rings attached. Thanks
