With less than 1000 miles on my 2004 honda rebel motorcycle the clutch went out while going between 45 and 55 MPH on an open road. The motorcycle was running great when all of a sudden it started losing speed. There was no warning when the clutch went out.

2004 honda rebel motorcycle. Bought new in 2003 it is a 2004 model. It has 1400 miles on it and the clutch is slipping severely. I think honda should be held accountable for the replacement of these defective parts.the clutch assembly has to be replaced.

Bike will not shift properly, upshifting isn't the problem as much as trying to get the bike into neutral or first gear is near impossible. Makes road driving impossible. Bought the bike used from a dealer, hasn't worked properly from day one. Replaced clutch at 5,000 miles, thinking this was the problem just to find out, improper shifting mechanism was the cause.

This has happened more than once. I have taken it to a honda repair shop in may 2009 and they said that all parts are in spec.

I was driving my 2004 honda rebel down the highway when out of nowhere I was unable to accelerate. It would only go about 15 MPH and I knew I had the dreaded 2004 clutch problem. I babied it to the nearest honda motorsport dealer and it currently sits in their service area. On the way there I was almost hit numerous times by other cars not to mention almost falling when the incident first occurred. They told me that I will probably need a new clutch. I replied "my bike only has 5000 miles! How could I need a new clutch already?" he said he wasn't sure and would let me know once they were sure…
