Got the bike out of the shop. Adjusted the belt and got that damn new bolt installed.
24 Rebel 300. Thinking about upgrading at some point but man I'm in no rush.
I love this bike and want to install a custom exhaust in the next few weeks.
Got new saddle bags for my 86 rebel. It makes the bike look so much better. Got a sissy bar coming in next will have to show you guys that once installed!
Also on YouTube you see people talk like this bike can barely handle the highway or isn’t worth keeping long term and this baby rode smooth as butter when It rode on it. Got it a little past 70mph and kept up with traffic no issues. This bike is so fun to ride!
Traded my truck for it so i got some cash in hand and some gear with it. So far it’s been treating me well except for a few nights ago it was having some issues believed to be the carb and fuel filter.
Bike fell over yesterday because it was on an incline, and instead of just parking it in 1st and shutting off then engine, I left it in neutral and running while I opened a gate.
Today, wasn't paying attention and backed into my truck hard enough to break the tail light.
So, if you've ever done something with the bike that makes you feel like an absolute moron...you might still be one, but you're not alone.
Cleaned out carbs now it needs big revs to stay alive
Thoughts? How’s the fitment?
My bike was damaged in the parking lot at my workplace. The brake pedal is bent so out of shape. No other visible damage at all.
Any idea if someone maybe dropped it and then put it back on the stand or hit it with something by accident? I can't imagine what happened.
Also any tips to fix this? Obviously bare hands couldn't bend it back correctly
Hey guys, recently bought my 22 rebel 500, love the bike so much. The guy I bought it from included a set of uninstalled OEM fork covers, but it looks like it's missing the rubber collars that come with the upper set. See part 3 in the diagram.
Does anyone know if it's possible to buy the collars alone? If someone has a part number that'd be great, I can only find a number for the entire set.
I'm in NSW, Australia if that's any help.
Thanks!
Does the 2026 Rebel 500 have enough slack in the electrical wiring for a 7” rise handlebars or do I need to extend them?
Looking for any kind recommendations for lighting upgrades on the Rebel 500. Anything that will help with visibility, particularly for nighttime riding
Installed the quadlock on my motorcycle. First ride to post office, maybe 15 minutes. Got back and was removing the phone, the support moved a bit more than I'd expect, and what do you know.
Anyone had similar issue? Could this be an issue on my inatallation side? I used the tools they provided, screwed tight but didnt go all Hulk on ti. This seems such poor durability, I am just disappointed and surprised. Contacted them now but not sure if anything will come off of it.
Let me hear your experiences brothers and sisters.
Taking my MSF in 2 weeks and am looking at bikes. Found this 250, planning to go check it out tomorrow. How’s the price seem? Seems like cheap for a motorcycle but maybe a little high for a rebel.
Also, less than 2,000 miles!
2022 1100 DCT. Shows me the overheating dash warning at highway speeds (65 MPH), but it turns off as soon as I slow down.
It's odd that it's going away literally as soon as I slow down- don't even need to turn the engine off. Anyone run into anything like this in the past?
Fresh oil change and fluids are good.
Rebel 500, wasn't used for 3 weeks. That humming sound on startup shouldn't be that long right? Took it out for a quick 5minute stroll and can still hear the sound even while riding. Any idea what it is?
Traded a 2024 500 ABS SE for a 2026 1100 DCT SE. So I had the 500 for 1.5 years.
Was really nervous about switching to a DCT because I’m so used to and comfortable on a manual but after a couple minutes, I realized there was nothing to be worried about. Operation is intuitive, smooth, and super fun. Maybe a touch boring to cruise in compared to manual, but the extra power makes up for it.
I would have been interested in a manual 1100, but the Special Edition 1100s only come in DCT.
Looking to get an exhaust for my 2017 Rebel 500.
Already have upgraded with a custom Corbin seat, replaced the OEM saddlebags with throw over Saddlemen bags (they are detachable) but not digging them as the buckles are all rusting after a year . Changed out the levers to Toxic Adjustable brake and clutch levers . Mirrors are still factory except I have put extensions on them to raise them a little bit , considering changing them out in the near future . Givi Crash Bars installed in 2023 as my first modification. Short wind deflector from Amazon , Vans handlebar grips also installed. I have a set of handlebar end weights to install still to assist with the vibrations and I have a set of Rox Speed FX handlebar risers to bring the bars up a tad and closer to me .
My current battery is the YTZ8V, I found it for $110.77. However, I see the FTZ8V listed for $77.59. Would the FTZ8V work? Are there other recommended options?
is the honda rebel 300 worth it for someone who’s about 150lbs? i’m on a very tight budget but im trying to decide if it would be worth stretching the budget for the 500. i’ve also never ridden before and want to get into it so this would be my very first bike.
