What could this noise be on my 2009 honda rebel cmx 250?
Added (1). I notice it when I ride on freeway at high speed like around 70 mph or even when I ride slow it starts to make this weird sound: tsip tsip tsip tsip tsip, as if the wheel turning was making some noise but not so much when I go up the heel. I think its comping from the front wheel but its hard to tell exactly I'm wearing a helmet and riding so I can't really put my ear near it… What is it you think?
You have a warped brake rotor.
Scoot---boy maybe correct, have the brake rotors checked.
Also check the valve tappet clearances.
Also, look at the chain/sprocket, and anything else that turns.
Support the bike with the front wheel off the ground (axle stands can be used if you do not have a centre stand), rotate the front wheel, identify where the noise is coming from.
If a rotor is warped then you may be able to see it with the naked eye while it is rotating. I use a pencil cable-tied to the fork with the pencil tip just touching the rotor.
It might also be a slightly seized piston on the caliper causing the pad not to retreat properly.
It could even be a collapsing bearing, grip the wheel fore and aft and try to move it laterally while a friend holds the bars, virtually any sideways movement is bad.
Check the condition of the tyre (and the pressure).
Once you have done all the checks you will be in a better position to decide what to do next.
I once had an annoying intermittent noise coming from the front end, it took ages to discover a leaf stuck next to the radiator was making it.
- My wife's but is too big for the backseat of of my Honda Rebel 250? How to make a bigger backseat? My wife finds the backseat of my 2006 Rebel uncomfortably small. I've searched the internet to see if they make a larger option, but I haven't found anything. Is there a larger backseat I can buy? I'm considering building my own. I have foam and vinyl, but I need to think of a material to make a sturdy, seat-shaped frame piece that I could attach the vinyl to. Any ideas?
- What is the squeaky noise on my 2009 honda rebel CMX 250 when I start the first time (it then goes away). What could this be? I have a Honda Rebel CMX 250 and it makes a weird horn / belt slipping like noice only in the morning when the first try to start the engine. What could this be?
- Will my Honda Rebel 250 handle an hour on the highway at 60/65mph? I just had my truck tires stabbed by one of the wild 10 year old kids that roam my neighborhood. Now I need to ride my motorcycle to work. I'm not a big fan of highway riding. It's scary and I don't want to die. Anyway, the question is - will my little Honda Rebel 250 handle going 65 for an hour continuously? I know it's not meant for high speeds and is more of a little put putter.
- We have a 2006 Honda CBR. When you drive it, there's a loud whirring noise coming the back underneath side. What could cause that noise? The noise is situated around a CV boot on the left underneath side where the differential connects to the middle.
