Any Known Gearbox Problems/noise On A 06' 290?
Oversize snail cams! Or get a proper chain with a half link like the Regina.

New To Me Bike - Hard Starting When Cold - 2006 2.9
Just another tip, you can drill a small hole in the plastic tab to insert a very small wire tie. Makes it mush easier to pull choke off!

No known issues. What is the frequency of the noise, those gears are turning quickly! Chain speed?

New To Me Bike - Hard Starting When Cold - 2006 2.9
Choke is not enguaged fully at that point. Lever needs to stick straight up!

Turn bars to the right so bike lays fully over on its left side for 5-6 seconds. There is a mod to drill out the choke jet to enlarge it. I cannot recall the drill to use right now, but if I lived up there I would do it! We could find out.

Back Tyre Coming Off The Rim
I hear the new Dunlops are very good , but a bad batch thing or the rims match could be an issue. In prior years, Dunlops were very tight on the rim and one may run them on very low pressure without worry. I hope they get this worked out, but in the interim, a Mich is a good deal not to be snuffed at!

Back Tyre Coming Off The Rim
YES! Nothing wrong with it!
-
Piston A, B, Or C?
This is quite true, as the pistons are only .01mm different, any wear in the cylinder will still be there. If youy are trying to fix a rattle, start over with a matched set!

Flywheel Settings?
I would get it tight! Very tight!

Atf In A Sherco
ATF being thinner and lighter viscosity may indeed make the clutch a bit more snappy, yet it does work and some prefer it for whatever reason. Choose your poison!

Copemech ?
Strange I just seen this post! I was in FL over Christmas and only browsing was on the phone. Glenn sent me a PM, though! All the damage was a couple miles from me, I heard something like 500 families displaced, 2-300 homes trashed, and although the streets were cleared by the time we got back, the area was horrific! Still is, as they just push over many houses not worth fixing. They are still cleaning up! Looks like a war zone! You know FL is hurricane alley, and down there you must have a wind mitigation inspection to get insurance! Roofs must be strapped on, storm shutters made for the house windows, and most construction is concrete block or something tough! Makes sense! I learned a lot about this cause I just helped daughter get a place down there. It was a sunny 80f day on Christmas there. Too damned hot! Thanks for the concern Glenn!

Sherco 125 2012 Info
It seems most of the fuel in the US and UK are blended with ethanol, which leads to early deterioration of the stock nitrile seals. I estimate 2-3 years average life.

Comerfords 199B
Not sure about that, but there is a nice 199A for sale in Tulsa right now if you know anyone looking!
-
Sherco 125 2012 Info
Not sure where you are located, but if the bike has been run on the ethanol laced fuels I would install the Viton seals from Splatshop now as a preventative measure to protect the main bearings.

Importance Of Proper Suspension Spring Rate And Setup ?
I think there are many 200lb riders that do just fine on stock springs, however the rear one is typically the first one to change if desired. If you were at #220 I would say go for it for sure. The Ohlins shock is a good upgrade as well for most. All it takes is money!
