Any suggestions...on how to trim/cut this puig windshield?? A little to tall ..seems like it throws off the look. Maybe 3 inches off the top...curve it. But not sure... Jigsaw? Soldering pen to trace then cut and sand? Anything...

2023 Rebel 300 with 8k miles. Can’t figure out what this noise is. Nothing I can find on the internet that narrows it down specifically. A mechanics stethoscope was used and the noise is louder on the top of the engine than the bottom. Valve clearance was measured and it’s within spec. Next thing is a full tear down but I’m not sure where to start once it’s apart.

Fresh oil change and just replaced a leaking exhaust gasket as well.

Hi, I'm now proud owner of a 2026 Honda Rebel 300.

I've got just about 250 km under the belt now. I've been commuting, to and from work, coffee runs, etc. Its been going great, I had some questions about the break in period.

Ive tried my best to follow precisely what the manuel says, in regards to shift up at 20/30/40/50/60 km/h for efficiency. Ive been varying my revs but have been cautious to not full throttle it, except for breif highway periods.

What has been your experience breaking in new bikes? (rebel 300 or otherwise)

What is "shifting in the power band"?

What is some preventative maintenance i should know of?

What are your general thoughs on the rebel 300?

Ill likely have a host of other question but they're not coming to me right now.

Was it wise to get brand new bike instead of beater as my first? Ive heard mixed opinions. I'm not all that afraid of drops, I've been a road cyclist my whole life, I take precautions im defensive and so on. First time I threw a leg over a motorcycle, the sheer weight (as compared to a titanium road bicycle) was shocking but with every subsequent, I get more and more comfortable with the standing weight. (And of course, while in motion its weightless, like flying)

I've Always wanted to motorcycle and I finally made the jumps through the administrative hoops to get licensed, taught, and endorseds etc, etc.

Thank you for having me.
