Hi all I'm starting to get on well with my EVO 290 now and want to get the bike sorted in terms of a suspension service (new oil, seals and bushings). Does anyone have a link to a step by step tutorial on servicing the forks? I've done the forks on my KTM a few times, so I'm familiar with the basics. I'd also like to know if there are any special tools needed for the job? Lastly, the suspension settings page in the manual is completely incomprehensible. I'd like to set everything to standard and go from there but after reading the manual I have no idea where to start

Got hold of the importer. He confirms it is an '09. Thanks for the help

Thanks Bilks. The wheels and radiators leading me to believe it is a 2009 model

Hi all I picked up a neat Evo 290 on the weekend ( will be getting a slow throttle for it). The previous owner says it is a 2009 model, but it has a black frame and plastics which would indicate it is a 2011 model. Can anyone confirm what it is for me please? image is attached

Hi all from sunny South Africa. I've been riding Enduro since 2012, started off on a Honda CRF250X, moved to a Beta 400RR, then a Husaberg TE300 and now a KTM 250 XC-W. I want to improve my skills at the low speed stuff, so I picked up a very nice and well looked after Beta Evo 290 for the job. Hope to learn a fair bit off the forum
