This is my 2009 project at the moment

I am in the middle of a 2009 290 project. I have the frame powdercoated red and swing arm black and I was looking at a set if graphics with red rather than blue. All I can see is a set for a 2009 4t. Will this fit my 2t ? They look the same to me. Thanks

Mudgaurd finally arrived so here is how it looks now

I got the v5 with it. I was just in the rite place at the rite time. It was a friend who lost interest in it about 6 months ago and he was a bit short on money for a quad he wanted. Plus I help him out a lot.

I did. So far Iv spent £100 on a mudgaurd and engine parts. Next up is getting the rear shock rebuilt and a new chain and sprockets and linkage bearings and I think the stator is on its way out. Then I can move on to fun things like getting the swing arm powdercoated to match the frame

All my gaskets and seals came today so I got the engine built back up. You can slightly hear the worn tooth on idle but on throttle it's completely gone. I think the clutch may be slipping but Iv still to test it. I also need to replace the small end bearing but so far so good on my £180 bike . Iv got a video of before and after if anyone is interested. It's YouTube links http://youtu.be/nivHDCwonQ0 (before) http://youtu.be/p2rWbHlHeUk (after)

Ah rite I always assumed it needed split. I'm going to try running it the way it is with the filled down tooth to see what it's like. Hopefully my order from splatshop will be here tomorro

I think I got it very cheap for a 2009 290. It's not without issues tho. It needs the rear shock rebuilt. New rear mudgaurd. Linkage bearings and this engine problem. Does the engine not need split to do crank seals ?

Yes the small gear is only £45. But the large gear is £220 or £260 with basket

I thought as much. Iv not actually had it running since I filled it down but I might try it tomorrow

I bought a 2009 sherco 290 with a engine knock. I was told it needed a full rebuild. I took of the clutch cover as I could feel the gear lever spring had snapped. I found the snapped piece had gone between the clutch basket gear and the small gear that drives it and chewed up a tooth so every rotation it would knock. I managed to file it down a bit but to get it running smooth I had to file a bit much and now there is a bit of slack between both cogs and now I have a new knock. If it possible to put some weld on the tooth then file it down until it's smooth and knock free or do I have to spend £260 on a new one ??
