Although I am 67, I am new to biking. My son and I took a motorcycle safety class for the fun of it and when we completed it we both decided to get motorcycles. I got a Honda Rebel and began looking for information that would help me maintain it and monitor it’s operation. I am so glad I found Cyclepedia. What a great resource, or more accurately, what great resources.The manual has been my go to for information, but it is nice to have all the other options when I may not understand what I have read. -Micheal M

You guys rewrote the book on putting together a service manual. Very impressive! – Robert B. (Motorcycle Technician, 30 years in the Aircraft Industry)

I have found the information in the Cyclepedia Rebel 250 manual to be as valuable as the Classes I paid for to get my mechanic’s certification. If I didn’t have this membership available to me, my repair time would have easily been doubled. If I didn’t have the training from College and still had Cyclepedia, I would have still been able to get the job done. Lucky for me I had my training and Cyclepedia To get the job done right and completed in a timely fashion. Thank you for making an invaluable source of essential information available. I am looking forward to the day when you have the Honda CB750 manual available. Thanks again everybody at Cyclepedia! – D. DeSorbo

Thanks so much for your wonderful Cyclepedia CMX250 online manual. It was a big thrill to complete the clutch replacement and get my Son’s Honda Rebel back on the road. I would not have been able to do it without your great service. – J. Collinson

I’m currently subscribed to the Cyclepedia Honda Rebel 250 online manual. I really enjoy the material you offer. I think it’s really great and the very best that currently exists regarding service manuals. – C. Diaz

I have subscribed to the Cyclepedia Press LLC online manual for the Honda cmx 250 Rebel. I have found it very helpful and informative. It is very easy to follow with the step by step approach,and the color photographs clarify repair procedures. Also I can access it any time of day from my computer. I have already tackled an oil change,replaced the spark plugs,the air filter and adjusted and lubricated the rear chain. I would certainly recommend the Cyclepedia on line manuals to anyone. – C.

I am thoroughly, completely impressed by the Cyclepedia online Honda Rebel manual. I had several jobs to do: 1) replace handlebars, 2) replace right foot pedal bracket, 3) replace chain tension adjusters, 4) install and properly tension a new chain – including a press-on link, 5) clean the oil filter, 6) change the oil and 7) replace the air cleaner. Each project was explained in clear detail, with real pictures (not sketchy drawings), and nothing left out as assumptive (which could have left doubts or questions). I feel totally confident to take on about anything in maintaining/repairing my bike from here on. Previously, I had bought one of those printed manuals and found it wholly frustrating – poorly explained, with limited, confusing illustrations, and leaving many things to guesswork. I particularly like being able to take my laptop to my shop, making access to the information all the easier. Thank you. Cyclepedia is the best there is, and I intend to spread the word and my joy. It’s a great value as well. – Rick E.

I needed a manual for my Honda Rebel 250 and the local Honda dealer did not have one in stock. Finally, I searched online, and found that cyclepedia.com had more than a manual for it. I love the step-by-step instructions with pictures that make it easy to grasp which parts are being discussed. Your service is more than just a manual and it’s worth more than I paid for it. I am glad I went for the lifetime version. I love learning about the Honda Rebel through Cyclepedia.com. – B. Dennison

While I’m mechanically inclined, I’ve never worked on a bike before. I bought a Honda Rebel 250 that hasn’t been started in 15 years. By following your step by step instructions, I rebuilt the carb, replaced the starter clutch and drive chain and now IT WORKS! I couldn’t have done it without the Cyclepedia.com manual. Great Product! Well worth the investment! – K. Kranz

I have accessed the manual and have used several sections–most notably, the wiring diagrams–to assist me in the installation of an alarm system. Thanks to your Honda Rebel 250 online manual, the project was a success. By my reckoning, the subscription already has paid for itself.

I’ve been a member for several months now. I do like the manuals I have purchased from you, Honda CBR600RR and Rebel 250. Keep it up, they work great. I’ve been working on motorcycles for over thirty years, but not as a job. The access is working fine. Some other manuals lack specific instructions. I like the instructions with a picture. J. Rimmer

Thank you for this excellent service. Your Honda Rebel 250 online manual is very useful and concise. It is written with the assumption that I know what I am doing, and provides easy to view photographic documentation.
I have seen other manuals, in various media, that are too verbose and assume that you need to be hand-held on the simplest parts of the procedure – your manual does not suffer that problem. Thank you to whomever writes and edits your text – you clearly have a good partnership going on between writer and mechanic. Also, please keep the photographic talent you have well fed!
I would like to add that the Honda main-and-specific manual system are very expensive. The factory Rebel manual I saw had very difficult to read photographs, was badly composed, badly exposed…. If you damage either you have to buy them again, and they don’t respond to questions.
Anyway, I have just replaced the rear wheel of my bike, and it was a snap. I’m sure that I could have figured it out by myself, but with my life riding on these two wheels, I’m glad to have your manual for reassurance. D. Gray
