How much did he charge for the battery? im after one for my sons OSET 16

Thats a good deal where was that?

I was thinking this as im barely good enough to even need the new tyres but i think it is finally time lol, current tyres have been on bike since new (2005)

Need a pair of tyres preferably michelins Anyone know of any deals on for a pair? Cheers

I have rebuilt one of these before but struggled getting the piston and rings back in..... also dont you have to double up the base gaskets or something?

Yes seems alot of play up and down so it needs doing

my exhaust was also full of watery oil (i submerged it last ride out ) i have left the exhaust hanging upside down in the garage dripping away, any other way of cleaning it out? Think it was a bit of both gear oil and build up of 2 stroke oil

Stripped down seals are out and new ones on there way... main bearings feel like they have a lot of play in but my bike doesn't sound rough when running, If they need doing think thats a bit out of my depth, is there anyone around who will do a engine refresh if i posted them the engine?

This is some serious oil that comes out, could probs fill a shot glass with it. But it does then calm down once warm. I have ordered some seals so will have a closer look at it before I strip it down

My 250 when started from cold ( which is a pain) blows a lot of oil out of the exhaust pretty sure urge it's not from the mixture because of the quantity of it and the fact it won't start easily and I haven't changed mixture or oil. Thinking its its a gearbox seal is this easy to change and what's involved? James

Yea same as I usually run. Although different oil had to buy it in a garage as I forgot my normal stuff

Sherco*

2001 Sherlock 250. All of a sudden got a lot of oil coming out of my Exhaust and bike was a pain to start

Safety is the main thing when its your kid riding the bike lol, need to get some shame they dont come up second hand

Anyone tried these on a oset? http://www.boost-bikes.co.uk/products/16-20-lite-36v-oset-battery-pack-and-smart-charger?variant=3135462019 Really tempted for my sons bike to improve ride times

This is exactly what i think is happening

Im pretty sure the stator went back in exactly the same position, when aligning the marking on the fly wheel with the mark on the engine does the engine need to be at top dead center

Had the engine apart on my brother in laws 290, cant get it to start now pretty sure the timings out Whats the easiest way to set the timing? we dont have a dial indicator can we do it without this?

Ordered that full kit, plus little end bearing, clutch tool and fly wheel puller Will check piston and barrel when they are out see how they are

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=141742613392&globalID=EBAY-GB So if we bought this for the bottom end and the seals ect what else would we need for the top end rebuild?

Mates 290 is rattling like a gooden, got a mate whos a decent mechanic who is going to help me do the rebuild What costs are we looking at for a full rebuild? not sure if its top end or bottom end? Probs end up doing it all

Great thanks for that. Didn't see that section

I come to this scene from the track day scene. Purely because it's all local and costs less than a 10th of a trackday all on

My mrs is in the early stages of labour. Could be a long night tonight lol. Anyone got any links to some good trials videos? Let's make this time productive from my side as well
