hi there i went to replace my fork seals yesterday, however i had to stop because the fork bushes are quite worn, and low and be hold theres 3 per leg , a 1st for me and ive been a motorcycle mechanic for the past 16 years, anyway does anyone know if bushes from another bike will fit because i dont fancy paying £27 per bush cheers tony

afternoon all , my kickstart snapped on my 290 yesterday, before i bite the bullet and pay £85 odd for a lever, does anyone know if a kick starter of another bike will fit? cheers tony

hi cope , the main shaft and output shaft bearings are all new ,, u can hear the noise in neutral once revved and just as they come down to idle it whines , u can also change the noise with the clutch in , in neutral cheers tony

hi , the basket deffinatly moves back and forth , theres a few marks on the basket fingers, maybe i will buy a basket and new rivets??

this is a very interesting point, i kinda thought that may be the case. i have just never heard a sherco as loud as mine?? its very annoying

hi cope thanks for reply , i hvae never heard a yam so i cant compare!! however all the other shercos i have heard do not sound like this , if you hold the front brake on and release the clutch , just as the clutch starts to send drive to back wheel the noise goes then comes back once riding , if you rev it in neutral it does it , its just very annoying , i just feel it must be clutch related as you can vary the noise!! the only bearings i didnt replace were clutch release and the needle roller in the clutch centre! could it be these? thanks again tony

hi all , i recently brought a sherco 290 04 model , bike is very clean and looks like its had hardly any use!! however ever since i have had it , its got a really annoying whine , sounds like its drive related .. last week i stripped the engine completely and replaced , mains , all gearbox bearings, rings , waterpump bearing and a few other things!! im a motorcycle mechanic by trade so i should know what im looking at lol!! all the gears look ok , selectors are good . however once all back together and running it still whines??? you can change the noise with the clutch!!! i have been told by a few people at my local trials place that all early shercos whine!!! surely this cant be true!! can anyone shed some light!! cheers tony
