  1. I had loads of intermittent problems with my Sherco 290 not running at low revs or ticking over. Done everything to the carb. To eliminate if the carb is at fault borrow one and fit to your bike. There are plenty of 06 GG 125's about. It worked for me. In my case it was the crankshaft oil seal on the stator side. If you are sure it's a carb problem have you tried cleaning all of the tubes in the body of the with some carb cleaner. It's a solvent aerosol that shifts most stuff.
  2. Thanks for the comments. Seems like a 200 is a good idea after all. I am considering both the Gasser or the Beta though bo drinker did mention the Scorpa 125 / 175.
  3. Fancied changing my present bike for a nearly new 200. I am a novice rider though I am note intimidated by the power of a big bike. To my mind a 200 would seem to be the ideal compromise of power to weight though they do not seem popular with other riders. Does anybody thoughts or experience of 200s. Thanks, Scraggydog
  4. I have bad circulation in my hands and feel the cold something terrible. Does anybody have any experience of suitable gloves that are warm and dry but not too intrusive. Someone suggested a full faring and heated grips. I think their joking though! I was going to get some sealskinz mountain bike gloves. Any other suggestions? Thanks Scraggydog
  5. My 1999 model had the standard clutch and it was awful regardless of the oil used. I was told by a bike mechanic that the plates stick together like two panes of wet glass for want of a better description. Every few trials I had to dismantle the clutch and emry paper the steel plates to remove the glaze - worked a treat. Eventually I bought new friction plates from Haven (I think)
  6. Thanks for all your suggestions, I can strip the carb down blind folded I've done it that many times. To answer the points in turn. It doesn't specifically happen after washing though the bike is a pig to start after a wash. If you leave it dry out it starts and runs fine assuming it was running ok before the wash. I do have short vent hoses fitted to stop water getting in a assist blowing out the carb when cleaning. The failing stator is interesting. I might try measuring the resisitance when the bike is running ok and when it is playing up. Does anyone have any resistances for a Leonelli stator? I haven't looked at the O ring on top of the carb. Will check this. The O ring on the choke jet does look like its been chafed where it seats in the float bowl. I'll get this replaced and chamfer the hole. The slide is seating properly and the cable is correctly routed etc. Its running so lean it won't tick over due to lack of fuel if you give a little choke it it will run at low revs. The float height is correct and the fuel filter is clean. Could send some more details of the vent hose system? I am going to start with the O rings as their the cheapest, knowing my luck it be the stator. Thanks again, any other suggestions would be appreciated. Scraggydog
  7. Help, I have a stock 05 290 fitted the standard Dellorto carb that appears to be fitted in one form or another to most trials bikes. Occasionally for no apparent reason the bike starts to run very lean at tickover and won't pick up when the throttle is opened. It becomes very diffcult to start. It's as if the air screw adjustment is hugely wrong or the pilot jet is blocked. As usual, I strip down the carb to it's last componant to find everything clean and unblocked. I blow through every hole with a compressor. When reassembled it will sometimes work other times it requires another strip down. I have checked all of the jet sizes, the circlip position on the needle and the air screw turns out (3 1/2) against Ryan Young manual. The air filter and box is regularly cleaned. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Scraggydog
