i have a 1985 honda sx. when i shut it off it makes a spinning sound in the bottom end and then stops. i have not rode it yet. i got it at the dump 3 weeks ago and have fixed it up with the motor that came in it to see if it was good. runs like a top i have 2 other honda sx 250 and they do not make the noise.

Does it sound like the starter button is hitting for a second? I have three 250sx's here that all do the same noise when you turn off the run switch. Maybe its just a thing they do. Doesn't seem to hurt anything. I think its just dirty contacts on the switches.

This sounds like a highly covered topic in the past. Do a search of the forums for "whirling" or 250sx clutch, or 250es clutch. You should find all the answers you need. here is a link to a thread from 4 years ago where I covered the issue that I think you have: http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/showthread.php?t=10576&highlight=whirling
