ESS Balistic glasses, what the boys get issued out in afghan. Theyre anti fog and fit brilliant. You can pick them up off fleabay for around

Priced it up and yeah comes to around

Thanks, but would that cause the lumpy running?

Hi all, I have just been out on the bike and after about an hour it began to run lumpy. It would not come down off the revs and when it did it sort of chugged instead of ticking over smoothly. I loaded the bike up immediately and came home, expecting it to be a dirty carb I stripped it down but all was clean. Anyway on further inspection the bike has dropped all its coolent with no obvious signs of leak, so I drained the gearbox oil to find the oil was milky. This leads me to beleive the seals have gone on the water pump? if this is right is it a major job to sort and expensive and could this/has this caused any other damage? The bike is a 2002 290, Thanks in advance guy's.

Brilliant, thanks loads for all the help and suggestions. I never thought about a Rawl bolt. I'll give it a go with that plus heat. Thanks again.

To be honest the spacers came out with very little effort, just eased them out with a screw driver, but the bearings themselves are stuck fast. I'll try heat but I can't see how you get them out the hub as in do you knock them out with a screw driver or some other way?

Hi all, I'm just on changing the front and rear wheel bearings on my 02 290, I've managed to get the spacers out ok but how do you actually get the old bearings free from the hub? I'm hoping there's some kind of easy trade secret for this........ Cheers in advance guy's.

I'm sort of guessing it's around the 71/71.5kg mark fully loaded....

That's brilliant, cheers

Hi, Just a quick one guy's, does anyone know the weight of a unfuelled 2002 290? Ive looked everywhere on the tinternet and cant find a thing. Thank's in advance.

I know mate, what can I say....I'm shy

Been lurking on here a while, so thought I'd finally say hello. I'm new to both trials and bikes in general, and i've got to say i love it. Just bought a 2002 Sherco 290 as my first bike and love it to bits. I'm from Bishop Auckland, Co Durham, so if anyone local fancys a look out let me know. Mark
