Hi, i run a scorpa works 1995 and the gear oil was 600ml. manuals can't find one but Peter Knight of peter knight powersport www.rotax.co.uk and he should be able to help. Bleeding the brakes i had to do recently and was told to take out rubber gromet thing from brake resivoir and make sure it is full, put lid back on. Get a spanner that fits the brake nipple and undo but just tighten it so fluid can't escape fit some clear hose on to nipple. Now it gets repetative. 1) push down on brake pedal. Dont release pedal. 2) open bleed nipple, you should see fluid with air in it. hold for a couple of seconds then close nipple. 3) release brake pedal. Repeat until no air is coming out and it is just fluid. Make sure you check resivoir does not run dry, top up as needed. Once finished put rubber gromet back. It took me about 15 - 20 mins to do. If in doubt check out sherco forum, top post manuals and find how to do it otherways. fuel/oil i put 75ml oil to 5l fuel. Hope this helps. Steve

Hi all, how do we go about taming a sherco 290. Have been told putting slow action throttle on. Changining front sprocket from 10 to 9 tooth and changing the rear sprocket but cant remember what size. Can anyone tell us what doing 1,2 or all three do? At moment it has fast throttle 10 on front and 42 on back and we are finding it a little to much to handle. Thanks Steve

Thankyou.

Thanks, easy when you know. whilst doing emails and say i want to point someone to this page how do you do that . Thanks Steve

Hi all, I keep reading about slow and fast throttles, I confess to not knowing what the difference is. Can anyone tell me what is the difference, how can i tell what is on my bike. The throttle turns 1/4 rotation on my bike and my sons Sherco 125 turns about 1/3rd rotation.What are there benifits of either. Thanks Steve

Hi, Stoford, the trial kicks of at 11am.

yes i have and to no avail. it is a parts list.thanks.

Hi, just thinking as one does once in a while what is the best 250? I know all bikes will ride differently and that is down to how you feel but which one is best for owning. Are different years better than others, like Sherco 2007 is alot better than 2006 so they say. Parts are some makes better than others having them in. Maintenace is one better than the rest on cost or ease. Are all 250 engines the same or are some smoother or are some more punchy. JUst wondering!! Steve

Hi posted thread asking for info on where the drain hole is for the oil thinking i knew where the fill hole was, wrong!!!!! The engine is a Rotax 290 in a 1995 model. Anyone know and is there a workshop manual for this bike as i am sure i will need more info as time goes on. Thanks Steve

Hi, have a 1995 works with a 290 rotax engine. Can anyone tell me where the drain plug is for the gear/clutch oil. Can see fill hole on cluth side but thats it. Steve

Hi, the clutch on my 290 works with rotax engine is dragging on start up then it frees itself but it is becoming more notacible during the days ride. Have been told changing the oil in the clutch may help. Q. how do you do it as i dont know much about bikes and what oil should be used? Also how do you change the gear box oil and again what sort of oil is best. Any pics showing what to do would be great or is there a manual or book which is good at helping out. Thanks Steve p.s how much oil should go into each area?

Hi, I have a scorpa 290 works 1994/5 and the clutch drags on start up after awhile it frees itself but during the day it will drag and it seems to be doing it more and more. I have heard changing the oil in the clutch will help. I know nothing about bikes so how does one go about it and what oil is best. Also would like to change gear box oil, once again how? Any help, pretty pics showing how to or is there a general book out there which could help me. Thanks. Steve

Thanks will look at the vin numbers and if in doubt will ask for the swinging arm lenghts.

Hi, my dad has just bought a sherco 290 and was told it is a 2003 model, but it has 2002 plastics how can we tell if it is a 2002 or 2003. Thanks Steve
