mick Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Can any one tell me the correct spark plug gap for my 2000 290, I've looked every where on the manual sheet and Sherco's web site but can't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 .020" I think that's .5mm for the metrically inclined. And it really is crucial to proper running. Much more so than I could have imagined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne thais Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 I have updated the Sherco "Set up and Lubrication Guide" to include this statement: Check the Spark Plug Gap initially and then check it every 3 months. The gap should be .020 (.5mm). The recommended Spark Plug is the NGK BP5ES. The revised manual will appear on the RYP site in the next few days, it may take a bit longer to appear on the Sherco site. Thanks for asking the question and Charlie thanks for providing the answer, BTW Ryan agrees with your answer. If there are other areas that we have missed please let me know.
