Clutch Hub Nut Retention
The clutch hub nut on the 1994 CR250 requires a tab washer for retention. After each clutch basket service, install a new tab washer and bend the tab over the flat on the nut after torquing to spec. Never reuse a tab washer with deformed or cracked tabs—a failed washer allows the clutch hub nut to back off under load, causing clutch slippage and potential damage to the crankshaft taper and primary drive components. Fresh tab washers cost very little and provide significant assurance for high-rpm two-stroke MX use.
