Hi Greg, Welcome to the CH250 forum ! The CH250 with a Slipstream windshield is indeed a good choice for cool weather commuting. I've got a 86 called GrandMa...
I am trying to follow your time line for leaking. You said it was fine up until 2 weeks ago when you topped it off and it leaked after running at idle and than...
Welcome Greg, It is not that hard to inspect your rollers and clutch weights. Check out http://ch250.net/procedures/engine/MoveableDriveFaceService.htm I to...
Greg, Welcome to the "club". Sounds like you scored a decent ride. Although it only has 2.5K on the clock, you probably want to go through and do a thorough...
Throttle cable broke, at the twist grip. The cable that pulls the butterfly valve open broke right at the cable end. I have a spare cable, but it is a real...
you'll have to bite the bullet. there isn't enough (or any for that matter) slack in the cable to swage a new barrel on. PEDER LINDGREN <peder_y2k@...>...
Suck it up and replace it Pete. You want that thing sticking WOT whilst barreling down I-5? ;~) I've got a bent return cable that sticks a little. Got one on...
I have a 1990 Honda CH-250 with about 29,200 miles. I am the third owner. The second owner had it from about 14,000 miles to about 28,000 miles. It starts up...

You know Doug, I'm wondering if I did. The temps been fine ever since. I've had an engine overheat and the results are often requiring a new ride. JUst playing...
With that many miles and missing those important body parts, it's not worth more than $400. All body parts and upholstry present and in good condition and...
I kind of have to agree, maybe you could get $600 or even a bit more but most folks are not going to want something missing all that plastic. It also has...
Hey sounds like a decent deal to me too. Not sure why you would rather have a "SlipStream & milkcrate" my stock OEM works fine for me but I'm short. If you...
I think Rick has a good point about the plastic. I wouldn't sell it as-is. If you replace it yourself you will get a nice bump in perceived value beyond the...
Motorcycle shops used to sell a brass cable tip. It has a small allen screw in it to hold the cable. I used to use them years ago on dirt bikes with good...
The question i have is.... Where is the missing parts? Accident? That might end all sales for ya. Send me some pix.....I live in 15 miles north the 605/405. ...
honest has a very good point. almost every CH250 i've seen that had front plastics missing/damaged had either a bent rim or tweeked forks. selling it as is...
I found an Okeechobee tackel box soft sideded and weather proof at wally world "wall mart" drilled holes thru the reinforced feet on the rubber bottom, put ...
Folks - thanks for all your comments and suggestions. Chris - the commute to East Lansing is only 5 miles each way. Too bad I'm too lazy to pedal a bicycle....
Hi Greg, In case you missed it, you will find the wiring diagram in the FILES section as well as in the CH250 service manual in the LINKS section to...
When the weather gets colder like it's about to do, I switch from my Joe Rockets to a good pair of ski gloves. The better ones tend to be slightly rounded for...
I haven't looked recently but I think ther may be enough room in the battery compartment for a microswitch that will trigger when the battery lid is removed....
One of my previous replies got me to thinking: Has anyone tried to put heated grips on a CH250? I've got them on my K75 and they are SWEET on cold mornings....
Hard to believe but I still have the battery in my 1985 that was there when I purchased it, like 5 years ago. No for winter, I have an attached garage, not...
Specificly, what new battery did you buy? Whats the brand name and model number. Is it marked AGM, or GEL CELL, or SLA, or NO-MAINTENANCE. It makes a...
Regarding any 'extra load' for heated grips on the CH250, just add a 2nd battery if necessary. and wire it up in the storage trunk. Use one of those 12v. gel...
I think a battery in reasonable shape that is not used for three weeks will still start a CH250, all other things being equal. I am pretty sure that if the...
Regarding the rollers, I gather that lighter ones usually have the same dimensions as heavier ones, but since weights usually have a hollow centre, the hollow...
guys, i recently acquired a large collection of helix (CN250) parts and have been going thru the treasure trove cataloging the goodies. i was looking at the...
