Engine and Bottom End / Wierd noise

« on: July 16, 2016, 10:11:36 AM »

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?

Carburetor, Intake, and Exhaust / R stalls out in first gear...

« on: August 24, 2015, 08:21:43 PM »

Drained the tank today through the petcock. No obstructions there... As for the float level, I've never adjusted one before... Would a float go out of position after a while?

At first I thought it was a simple clutch issue but you're saying you can engage the clutch, put it in gear, and still be fine along w/ Revving the engine? That the problem occurs when you release the clutch to ride away applying load, correct?

I'm the opposite of an expert on engines and more so on bottom ends, but maybe it's possible your having issues with your gears / tranny as if somethings binding up causing drag? When you go to let the clutch out does it seem like your dragging something causing the bike to squat a tad? Have you tried revving higher and feathering the clutch to "fight" through it?

Sorry for not being clearer... My clutch works fine for engaging/disengaging, and in neutral, the revving works at first. When I put the bike into first gear, I slowly let the clutch handle out, and as I try to give the bike gas to keep from stalling, it bogs down like the engine is flooded... the bike will start to move a little, then will stall out... if I disengage the clutch before it stalls, i have to let the bike idle for a minute before revving it again, or it will stall out (disengaged or in neutral). I'm at a loss. I just pulled the carb apart and it looks clean...

Tony - The cable is working properly, as I try to release slowly into the gear and as it begins to engage, it bogs down and stalls out. If I pull the clutch cable, it will go back to idling, but will bog a little bit when i give it gas. Then after a while, it clears up again, but will do the same thing when I try to put it in gear. When I fire it up, I can give her gas and it revs just fine... Here's a pic of the reeds...

Pulled off the exhaust, carb, and reeds... I will post a pic since I don't know what I'm looking at when I get back from church. Thanks for the responses guys! I don't think it's an issue with the spark plug because it will fire up and idle, and the caliper is not locked up because it rolls just fine in neutral... John, if it's clutch related, would it be plates or basket, or something else?

I went to fire up the r this evening, and she started up fine, but when I shifted into first gear to go, she bogged down and stalled out. Never had this issue before... I have no idea where to begin troubleshooting, so some possibilities would be great... She was running fine last weekend in the dunes at silver lake...

I trashed my rear wheels by not tightening the lug nuts... Need a new set of wheels. All I am looking for is something to get me by, so as long as a tire will seal on the rim and it will hold air, we should be good. Thanks.
