OK thanks for the help.

Thanks for that Tony.

Sorry for the slow response I've been away for the weekend. I've uploaded a picture http://www.flickr.com/photos/78678479@N06/7159055923/in/photostream The water seems to bubble out when its ticking over.

Thanks for the response. Yes it's definitely coming from the overflow. I can see it bubble out.

I started my bike and noticed water leaking out of what looks like and overflow near the transmission oil drainage bolt. Why would it do this?

Within minutes of posting I've just found this http://www.sherco.co...ation_Guide.pdf from the sherco site. And whole bunch of useful guides from here http://www.sherco.com/wayne/ The previous links I had didn't work. Will the above transmission oil be OK to use? Thanks

I ride a 290 2001 and need to learn how to maintain my bike properly. I've basically run mine into an inch of its life but before I buy a new bike I want to practice maintaining the old one first. Now the bike isn't in great condition so I don't want to spend bucket loads on it, but I want to get it to a decent condition for selling and learn a few things along the way. Also I've only been riding in the local quarries so I want to get my bike into a decent condition to join my local club and ride in novice trials. So far I've started off by changing the spark plugs, replacing the air filter and removing the air box for cleaning. I was amazed at how much sh!te was in there. Now I want replace the gear oil. I've looked around the net for information on how to do this but haven't come across anything useful. I do have the spare parts manual for my bike but that's it. Now this is the gear oil I plan to use. http://www.splatshop.co.uk/ipone-gear-box-oil-1-ltr.html Is this the correct stuff? Also can anyone give me any pointers? Cheers

Yes it ran fine before my mate cleaned the carb. I should learn how to maintain it myself but I don't have enough spare time.

My 2001 290 now does this. A mate of mine kindly cleaned my carb for me but now it starts ok and runs with the choke on but dies when it's off. He suggested turning the air mixture screw but I'm not sure which one it is. Anyone got a pic of where I can find it? or if I post a pic, point me in the right direction?

Cheers for the advice people. I think i will get some of.the gaerne polish from trials UK. Does oiling the boots remove scuffs?

I've recently bought a pair and would like to look after them. Do they need re-oiling after being washed? I've had a google around but can't find anything on how to look after them.

Can't really see the top picture enough. The bottom pic looks ok. They look a little less snug then my wulfsport pants.

Are they all tight fitting? I feel a bit of a plank wearing them.

Tried a few on and went for the Gaernes in dark brown. They are sooo comfy.

What do people recommend for a budget of
