mlcjot Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Hi folks, I introduced myself over in the Introductions forum but just thought I'd say hi here as well. I picked up a 2000 Sherco 290 yesterday evening for a very fair price and I'm looking to address a possible air leak. You can find some details and pictures/video in this thread if you are so inclined! Cheers, Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgunzelman Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 How much did you pay? I'm looking at a 2000 2.9 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgunzelman Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Just got my 2.9! Love it so far. Engine seems solid and very clean. Currently waiting on rear wheel bearings to arrive in the mail, spent $10 on ebay for some nice SKF contact seal bearings. Those will get cleaned out and waterproof grease added back in. My fork oil seals seem good enough, not perfect so I spent another $8 on chinese dust seals to keep dirt out. I know other riders have issues with cheap oil seals on their forks so I'll spring the $60 for that next year. The dust seals had Paioli or Marzocchi on them and looked original from Y2K. Suuuuper dry rotted and cracked. Could probably get the ink cartridge from a cheap pen through the cracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
