    Been riding the same 1987 Rebel 250 for years now and a new issue has come up. I can ride around town all day with no shifting issues, but once I hit the highway and get it up to 60mph or higher, the clutch lever will no longer pull in, therefore, I have to stomp the gears back down to neutral...

    Couple questions... 1. Should the clutch pack housing beable to move up/down, left/right? 1/4" or so... 2. The gear on the end is rubbing on the shifter star? Hex? The piece that turns when it shifts... You can feel the clutch moving when engaged and pull the clutch back. We suspect the...

    Hey guys, 97 Nighthawk 250 owner here. I recently replaced my clutch cable and have had nothing but problems since. When I accelerate, the engine revs up and it gets me moving a little bit, but there’s no power behind it. Especially trying to go up hill. I’ve tried adjusting the cable a thousand...

    I recently adjusted the slack on my clutch lever, (nickle test) I have a 2019 Rebel 500 abs. And I have noticed that I am able to shift from 1st to 2nd and back to first without pulling in the clutch lever. I am not sure this is normal. I was doing this in a parking lot so it was low speed. My...

    First time posting, so here we go... purchased a 2001 Rebel 250 about 5 months ago. Had just over 3100 miles on it. Didn't run smoothly, rebuilt the carb w/ bigger jets, added K&N air filter, debaffled the exhaust, it ran great. I've put about 1200 miles on it since purchasing it. A few weeks...

    Hello, Changed my oil, cleaned the screen. Have done this a few times. After reassemble I can't shift past 2nd gear and the shifting is very rough. Any thoughts? When reassembling donI have to watch something on the clutch lever on the right engine plate? Thank you,

    My bike has a tendency to slip when I am demanding a lot of torque (2 riders, going uphill, etc.) I am curious if there are any adjustments that can be made to the clutch itself. I have searched this forum, but I always tend to find comments about adjusting the freeplay, which I have done...

    Just happened to notice my left side handlebar bracket is cracked. Someone must have torqued the heck out of it before I got this bike. The OEM part number is: 53172-MJ6-000 I’ve googled the part number and pretty much everything shows as temporarily unavailable, however, the photos of the...

    Hi all! First time posting so I'll give you all the facts. I have an 1983 CM 250 C with 30,000km. Belt-driven model. Had low compression so I got the piston rings replaced and valves done at a head machining shop. When I brought the engine home and put her back in the bike everything seemed...

    So I bought an 01 Rebel 250 and the clutch went out on it. I replaced the clutch but now when I put it into gear it violently shuts off. This is my first bike and I really don't know what it is I might've done wrong. I tried adjusting the cable, both up top on the handle and down by the clutch...

    I have been researching the clutch changing procedures on you tube and other websites, and no one can answer my most important questions.. Is it possible for me to buy a generic clutch kit, or does it have to be the honda brand? Also, what about my gasket? Is it one I can build with a gasket...

    I am working on replacing the clutch friction plates, but having a hard time to remove the clutch nut. I have tried the putting the bike in gear and applied the brake method or knocking it off using a screwdriver, but no success. is there anything I am missing?
  13. Gears, Sprockets & Chains
    I have an 06 Honda Rebel 250. I'm having clutch issues when I let the clutch lever all the way out, the engine is not getting power. Meaning the clutch is not engaging the engine. My question is could an oil with too high of a viscosity grade cause the clutch to slip? Even overtime is this a...

    I just got my first bike, a 86 Rebel 250c, a week ago. I took it home did some minor tune ups (oil, plugs, battery) but then I noticed the clutch lever and throttle are on the same side of the handlebars. I told a friend of mine and he was surprised and confused. I thought about just taking the...

    Recently the weather has taken a turn for the better (60's at night) and I was thinking my bike would get a little extra kick to it, but the other night I was riding on the highway and when I had it in 5th and gave it the last quarter turn on the throttle to get it from 70 to 75 mph the rpms...

    Ok I'll start from the beginning. I bought my bike 3-4 days ago. Have drove it all 4 days, yesterday it would cut off when I slowed down to turn but that stopped after I got about 3 miles down the road and decided to turn around (go figure, story of my life) so I got home and checked the oil...

    i was riding back home on a long stretch of road when my bike started losing more and more power untill my top speed was 25 mph. after pulling over and trying to accelerate i came to the conclusion that my clutch cable might need adjusting due to the fact that the same thing happened to this...

    A couple weeks ago when accelerating from a stoplight, I got a short slippage then the bike accelerated normally. At first I thought I'd just spun on some oil drippings or a small ice patch (it's cold here); but after it did it a few more times in the following days, I knew it had to be the...
