Do you need to modify your Honda Rebel 250, or should you save money to purchase a larger motorcycle?

Major modifications do not justify their effort. The Rebel 250 stands as perfect for its intended use without any modifications. When your needs surpass what the Rebel provides, it's time to upgrade instead of modifying the bike against its design.

Changing oil every 1000 miles on my Rebel engine has worked perfectly for multiple years. Better safe than sorry, especially with no oil filter.

That's overkill in my opinion. I service my oil every 2000-2500 miles but end up not having any engine problems. The oil available today performs at higher standards than during the initial design period of these bikes.

How frequently you change oil should reflect your riding habits and style. For people who ride mainly in city traffic with frequent stops and starts, the oil should be changed at 1000 miles. When traveling at highway speeds, you should be able to extend the oil change interval slightly.

Through my mechanic experience, I instruct customers to comply with manufacturer's instructions. Because the Rebel 250 uses an outdated engine layout, owners need to perform regular oil changes to maintain smooth operation.

I maintain my car over distances of 1500-2000 miles between oil changes and have never encountered any damage. Make oil level inspections regular and add oil whenever your tank needs more.

The 1000-mile service interval represents a conservative approach because inexperienced riders who use these bikes usually neglect proper maintenance. It's a safe recommendation.

I consider this approach both redundant and inefficient. My motorcycle uses synthetic oil, which I replace after every 2500 miles. After reaching 50,000 miles, my Rebel remains in excellent running condition.

The repeated oil changes cost little compared to the dependable performance of the Rebel. The oil change task remains both affordable and easy to perform, yet many take unnecessary risks.

I compromise by changing my oil every 1500 miles. This method represents an ideal point between careful maintenance and overindulgence.
What would you change about the Yamaha RX 135 if you could change only one thing?

Better brakes, hands down. Stopping was great, but the acceleration. Not so much. It would've been so much safer with disc brakes.

I'd add a sixth gear. On the highway, it always felt like it needed one more to really settle in.

Improve the electrics. There’s nothing worse than having to bump start it because the battery died... again.

Make it easier to work on. Tinkering was half the fun, but with some simple design tweaks maintenance could be a breeze.

I'd make it a bit heavier. It sounds crazy, but a little more weight would have made it more stable at high speeds.

Redesign the air filter box. It was a pain to clean and probably robbed some power.

Add an oil injection system. Fuel premixing was fun for about a week, then it became a chore.
