markmark Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hi I am from the northeast uk I am brand new to trials and just bought a 2005 sherco 290 and am just wondering what gear oil does it need and also what maintenance should be regularly done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabby Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 450-500 ml of light gear oil. The age of the bike means it will have bearings rather than bushes, so they will need stripped and greased regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markmark Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 So is 10-30 gear oil ok also what bearing need packing can you just use normal grease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Morris K2 EP is good grease. Swinging arm bearings, shock linkage bearings, steering head bearings need greasing. It is also worth greasing the wheel bearings but you need to pry the sear out with a very small (watchmakers) screwdriver or similar.
