Fellow 250r riders,
I was tuning the carb i just put on my r the other day and ran into some issues. Everything was going fine until i hit 6th gear, and the engine started making a shrieking noise. I immediately shifted into neutral and it stalled. When i tried starting it again, it fired right up, shifted into first, then stalled out. I thought it might be something with the clutch. The cable wouldn't retract and was loose and sloppy. I tightened the cable up and the clutch cable seemed to be working fine, but still would stall out as soon as i put it in first. So i let it sit for a week until today to take a look at it, and tested it out. It turned on and shifted into first just fine... there is a strange chirping sound when idling, but that is the only thing i notice. Before taking everything apart, is there any suggestions on what it might be, or where to start?

I'd guess the chirping to be metal on metal contact? Probably be a good idea to pull the clutch cover & look for wear marks & check clutch actuation. Hopefully it's something simple.
