  1. hey lads and lassies,just bought a 2004 sherco 290 for getting into it,had been lying up for a year or so, im used to biking but this trials is completely different skill base, so far as i can gather main difference is to go slow and stay upright instead of normal biking is as fast as u can go and slide a knee on a corner if you can i noticed slight slap noise, from engine, decided it needed further investigation, took out engine today and i going to need to do the main bearing, also the chrome frame is pretty scratched and slightky tatty rusty, so going to paint,plasti coat or rechrome (ideas on best options) i understand i need pullers to do the bearing, any one in particular will car one do as my bro car mechanic, cant believe how handy it was to get exhaust, cylinder head off and piston out, really handy bike to work on, my taughts are at the minute due to budget non existent is can i reuse rings, needle bearing gudgeon pin etc at top end again as it is so handy to get access and can do these at a later date when budget gets better and less obwebs in wallet, i realise there are slight risks associated with this but they are in good nic. is this the complete list i need or have i left anythin out reed valve gasket (old one perished during disassembly cylinder gasket 2 o rings for top cylinder gasket for middke of engine main bearings ( are these common size off the shelfe) bearing seals have i left out anything also what are the torque settings for the nuts for redoing cheers lads cant wait for me betsie to be up and running again .
