    Bike starts good but when starting it will sometimes make a very loud honking noise, did some reading and think it might be something to do with the starter clutch, what should I do next - 86 cmx250

    Hello guys! I have a 96 rebel and my bike all of a sudden doesn't start! 3 days ago everything was ok, and yesterday that I try to fire it up nothing was happening! No crank, no sound, just my dash lights was coming up! At first I had headlight as well but then that went off too! I thought it...

    The bike started OK in front of my house and then failed to start after I stopped at a gas station for refueling. Here is what keeps happening. My side stand is up I am in neutral. The neutral light is On. As soon as I press start button, I hear a flick noise and the whole electric circuit...

    Hello. I have a 1986 Honda Rebel 250. I chopped it up and created my own wiring harness which PREVIOUSLY WORKED. I then rebuilt the engine and put back together. After completion the bike will not start. I believe the CDI is good because I still have spark. It sounds like the starter motor is...

I was getting everything ready to be garaged for the winter when I ran into some red flags. - first, the starter will usually get the bike running fast without much trouble, but some times if it doesn’t catch on the first turn over, it...

    I've had the bike several months now. Ran fine yesterday, now it won't start. There is power and it makes some noise (clicking), but it won't turn over. Any help from more experience riders/rebel mechanics is most appreciated.

    This may be longwinded and hopefully there is not another post already about this. I commute on my '97 Rebel, rain or shine, every weekday to work [about 50 mile round trip, easy 45mph back roads]. When I pulled the bike out of the garage yesterday, turned the key and the lights come on [good...

    I picked up a CMX450 (about 21K miles) that needs a little work ... but that's OK because I wanted a project. One of its problems, however, may be well beyond my pay grade. Somewhere between 20-40% of the time when I hit the starter button, the starter fails to engage and spins freely. My...

    I just bought an '86 Rebel & I'm loving learning to ride! My bike will not restart after it reaches normal operating temp. The starter turns, but engine does not turn over. Starts every time when cold. Does this sound like starter clutch problem or something else? Ever heard of this problem...
