I have the same model but 2.9, i wondered if the 2002 rear fender/ mudguard fitted ? The frame is the same so unless the fuel tank is drastically different it might fit?
-
Thank you for the replies, some great info there, and thanks for not taking the mick!
-
When washing your bike is there anything you cover up? I.e electrics, air filters, exhausts? I plan on taking my bike out for the first proper run tomorrow or Sunday.
I know its possibly a simple question but if you don't have experience you don't know
-
Thanks for the advise, yeah the exhaust is absolutely caked! Whipped it off late last night. What would you say is best to clean it out with?
I've ordered that wiring piece from splat shop (£30!) but at least it will fix it
-
Dear guru's....
I've attached a couple of photos, hopefully they loaded ok.
One of my wires have snapped off really close to something, a little black box. The wire goes to the thermostat I believe. Is it possible to do anything with it? Too close to solder I think.
Also, I changed my spark plug, I don't think its ever been changed, is that colour normal for a two stroke or is it running rich? I believe the fuel to be running 50 to 1.
-
Rich that is well nice! Ok so I just found rim stickers on ebay, I'm getting new tyres so thought I'd spruce it all up a bit
-
How is it that some bikes have coloured rims? Are they stickers, painted, or anodised from factory?

Haha, same zippy. I did the beta clutch fix and the bike is PROPER good, the downloadable pdf is amazing.
-
Thanks Tony, I put them in line and seems all good
-
I've just reassembled my clutch as it was before I taken it off, what I noticed is that the last plate is seated 1 notch over, so I.e not inline with the others. Is this correct? Also I have reassembled it dry and filled back up with oil, am I at risk of damaging the clutch on first use? Thanks in advance.
-
Ok great, I'll get it replaced before I ride, I'm glad I asked! The previous filter was covered in thick oozy red gloop and really clogged with dust and dirt. I taken it off and washed in swarfega.
Out of interest, where/ what are the head bearings that you refer to?
Cheers for all your help by the way people.
-
Oh, yes you are correct! Anyone know where it joins to?
-
Oh and there's this nipple on my fuel cap, whats that all about? It lets fumes out and my garage is starting to stink of 2 stroke lol!
-
Amazing video, never knew all that was in there!! The previous owner said he packed it with something else, like shredded paper or something? I feel the need to get it in bits and check!
-
Thanks, I'll pick some up today then. Don't want to get dirt in the carb!
-
I can see its had a few repairs done, theres a weld under the rear mudguard too.
Another couple of questions;
What product do I use to oil the air filter? could I just use a bit of 2 stroke oil? Trying to keep costs down.
How does stuffing the exhaust work?
Thanks!
-
Thank you everyone, got it out of gear by rocking it. Woohoo!
-
I figured it would take off hehe. Love all your original stickers, that bike is mint! I'll try to get it in neutral over the weekend and also get some fuel in it.on inspection it seems to have been welded before as there is spray paint over the pedal.
-
Thanks, I'll check it out!
-
Yep, genuine questions!
Thankyou for all your replies.
Glad the foot rest can be welded, it looks ok but i'll take it somewhere
62mls, I notice the green tanks are 5l so i'll fill one up then use a measuring cup with 62ml of 2t oil then. Do I stir it? lol
I noticed when the guy first let the clutch out it lurched forward a bit and he said they were like that when cold. I'll try the techniques you guys say to find neutral - eek!
-
Hello chaps,
I have bought my first bike, a 2000 290.
1) I have a crack on one of the welds by a foot pedal, is this fixable?
2) How do I mix fuel, I've heard is 80/1, how do I physically measure that out?
3) I have put it into gear and i'm too frightened to start it, how do I find neutral?
Many thanks!!
-
Hi there i've just bought my first trials bike and am totally new to trials, my names Chris, I'm in Calne Wiltshire. I've not even ridden my bike yet, its a 2000 sherco 290, i'm looking for places to ride and people to ride with. Thanks!
