Message: [QUOTE="XXX Adrenaline Spo, post: 1324792, member: 87234"] Hi everyone, I am having some engine noise I cant figure out. My bike is a 2001 Honda CR250 (That I love) and it is making some serious noise internally. This noise goes away when I pull in (disesngage) the clutch and comes back when I engage the clutch in neutral. (I cant tell if it does this in gear because Im moving) "Darringer" wrote a post about this a while back saying that it is the needle bearing and collar inside the clutch basket but I inspected that and it seems fine. Also Im wondering how that could really cause this noise?? The clutch basket is spinning the whole time the engine is running whether the clutch is engaged or not. I did replace the RH Transmission Mainshaft Bearing because it spins most when the clutch is engaged and hardly at all when disengaged because the mainshaft is connected directly to the clutch center. Replacing this bearing did not change anything. I have now ordered a new clutch basket (Because I needed it anyways due to grooving and worn out cushions causing excessive movement between the gear and basket) and I hope this does something for my noise. I know I wrote a book here but Im hoping someone will read all this and gimme some ideas. [/QUOTE]
