How are you getting on with the 290 I have had mine for about four mounts had no problems with the bike at all but I find it to much of a hand full. I keep firing myself of it I think I might go back to a 250 or are there any set up tips I need to do. The bike has a quick action throttle I might change that and try again any ideas anyone.

Bike sorted striped the carb complete and cleaned with wire brush carb cleaner and an air line fitted new hose from tank to carb kicked it over with no choke fired up first time and ticked over perfect rides smooth and power of the throttle thanks for the help.

Thanks guys I will strip her down again today and try again I might order some new jets from splat just to make sure the bike has been standing for a long time there was muck in the fuel tank air box and carb and the jets had green grud around them it wasn't good cheers.

Hi all just got a 290 2007 sherco it will only run and start with the choke on hot or cold when the choke is switched of it cuts out. I can keep it running buy bliping the throttle but it is really flat to much gas it stalls and it runs really eratic but turn the choke on it's fine. Carb has been striped cleaned blown out new plug new fuel but still the same help please.
