THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY OF THE 2004 HONDA REBEL CMX250C MOTORCYCLES WERE DEFECTIVE FROM ASSEMBLY AT THE FACTORY. HONDA DEALERSHIPS HAVE A (SECRET) SERVICE BULLETIN TO REFER TO THAT DESCRIBES THE FOLLOWING: THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY IS LIKELY TO FAIL UNDER 1000 MILES. DUE TO FAILING OF THIS COMPONENT, IT POSES A HAZARD WHILE TRAVELING DOWN AN INTERSTATE, SINCE THE MOTORCYCLES CEASES TO ACCELERATE AND BASICALLY IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE POWER (TORQUE) TO THE REAR WHEELS. I HAVE REPLACED THE FRICTION DISCS AND METAL DISCS ALONG WITH THE SPRINGS TO INCREASE THE "CLUTCH STACK HEIGHT" AND THEREFORE AVOID SLIPPING AND MALFUNCTIONING OF THE CLUTCH. I DO HAVE ALL OF THE OLD PARTS THAT I REPLACED AVAILABLE. HONDA REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE FAULTY CLUTCHES AND HAS YET TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE HONDA REBEL MOTORCYCLES BUILT FOR THE YEAR 2004 HAVE FAULTY CLUTCHES. *JB
