thebob Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilks Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Model range here but could have had frame changed because 2009 frame used to crack and the rad filler comes out of the side of the frame.2010 on came out central front between the front frame rails.http://www.betausa.com/node/751 Edited February 15, 2016 by bilks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebob Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks Bilks. The wheels and radiators leading me to believe it is a 2009 model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petert Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 The rear wheel is the earlier 2009/10 type, also the rad filler as Bilks said. I know the rear subframe mounts also changed on later models and this looks like the single bolt early type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evoalien Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Is the fuel filler slightly offset to the leaft,and radiator filler placed where your leaft knee will smack it!!! 2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdabalot Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I had an early 09, the petrol filler was offset to the left. A friend bought a late 09 and his had a bare aluminium frame with the filler mounted vertically. Your frame could have be an 09 that has been coated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldtrialchamp Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 check chassis number against range in the 09/11 parts manuals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Could be a 9 with a newer frame as the nine had issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebob Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Got hold of the importer. He confirms it is an '09. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
