Thanks all sounds like a weekend in the Garage. cheers kay

Nigel, Do you mean take flywheel weight off? cheers kay

Thanks Guys, looks like i need to do clutch mod first then maybe slow action throttle but i love the way the power is delivered now its just that slow clutch throttle combination i need to work on i think. Cheers kay

Any help please, I have an Evo 290 2009 and has a weight fitted to the mag which was on when i purchased the bike. I love the bike but when riding slow tight stuff i find it snatchy and easy to push the front wheel away. Gearing is 10/41 so previous owner dropped front by 1 already. How can i smooth it out when on the slow tight stuff? drop to a 9 front?? could i ride off the clutch more then? slow action throttle i dont think would help?and i love the power anyway. Would the clutch mod help and maybe remove a couple of springs? Please help before i move over to the dark side (gasgas) cheers kay

Thanks , mine was a 2010 fender although the bike was 2009. The break was low down towards the airfilter area and it was a real clean break with no plastic distortion at all. Bit crap really considering the nature of the bike. thanks kay

Hi, Just snapped my first rear fender ! grrrrr how much! Anyway i have been offered a 2011 fender a little cheaper than 2009 fender, is there a differance? will all years fit? many thanks Kay

many thanks

Simple thing guys, anyone know plug gap for 290 Evo cant seem to find info cheers Kay

Hi, Just about to do the first oil change on my 2009 290 evo. Does anyone know the torgue wrench setting for the drain plug. cheers

many thanks fot the reply.

Hi, Just changed over from a gasser to Beta 290 Evo, just wondering when starting from cold do you use any throttle or leave alone just with choke on. many thanks Kay

Jon, MAny thanks for this

Thanks Jon, i will check this out later and see if it matches, the photo i was after was an under the tank picture of how the coil and wiring sits. Mine seems a mess and was obstructing the tank slightly so needed re dressing. many thanks Kay

anyone help?

Hi all, Just removed one of the pins to resolder as badly corroded, unfortunatly all the wire came out the plug and i dont know which they go back in? they are numbered on the back of the plug. I have a black, grey, thick yellow and thin yellow. help please

Anyone help with this, struggling to get the coil and wiring back in place, tank sits proud all the time.If it sits on its side does the h.t wire exit at the bottom and wiring harness exit at the top? many thanks

Hi, Anyone got a under tank picture? i cant get it all to sit right then the tank is proud and now its starting to pull on the connectors. Its the ducati type please. many thanks kay

many thanks

thanks again

Hi all, removed the ducati coil and regulator off my 300 to check wiring to see if anything could aid / resolve the hot starting issues. I have come to refit the coil/ht but cant make my mind up which way round it went when i put the tank on it does not sit flat so something is not right. does it sit with the ht outlet pointing directly up or on its side? many thanks Kay

Hiya, sorry no technical data for you but that sounds just fine, same as mine bags of compression when starting so must be good! cheers Kay

Thanks all, i best get ordering. The joys of an e-bay purchase. thanks Kay

Yes, when i viewed the bike the condition looked good. wheels and suspension really clean, no wear in linkages or bearings so thought it was a good bike but the engine now showing some issues

Thanks for the help so far but feel i have bought a pig! I noticed on first ride that the clutch was pulling really bad, probably worse than people had advised and i felt it needed attention. On inspection it looked like oil had been in the water, checked pump and shaft is worn so i need a repair kit. On gasgas waterpump video it shows a small washer between the inpellor and brass screw, mine does not have one! should there be one on my model? Next i removed the clutch cover to find it had been cracked and metal filled! on inspection i think idler gear has been changed but cracked case refitted, so need a new case too. On to the clutch to see if i can figure out why it is poor, again on gasgas video it shows a bearing and washer on the top hat, mine does not have these? are they missing? Finally the plastic kickstart stop looks worn can this be replaced easily. many thanks Kay

Thanks for the info on this, will do anything to to try and get the starting a little better.
