Welcome to the site. Go to the link below, click on tri-z 250, download the manual and study the section on the clutch.

Likely that your push rod broke or something else in that mechanism failed. Not a tough fix just make sure you follow the manual.

Yeah, they are neat bikes . I just sold mine and the buyer picked it up Sunday.

This company below carries lots of NOS parts . If they don't have what you need you can also get the part numbers from them and then check Ebay for them . I found one of the last NOS Honda 250r clutch cables in existence from this company for a member here around 2 months ago and he bought it and had it in his hand around 4 days later.

Here's a photo of the clutch . Item number 27 may have broken, however, the site above does not have that part . It is the same as a 1988 YZ490.

I think the part that broke was number 22

Why do you think that?

19, 18, 22, 27 could all have a play in this issue. I would take the clutch cover off and check it out, if the clutch wasn't adjusted right then the engine will spin the bearing (18) and the rod (22) creating flat spots in the bearing and wearing a groove into the clutch arm (27). It will also wear the clutch screw (19) pretty good.
