Hi just bought an evo 250 2009 and would just like any info you may have on the bike in general or any problems or mods??????? Thanks!

I think on the 09's they had a few problems with the Carb, leaking issues, so that may just be something to watch out for. I think Lampkins do a Mod for it. Enjoy it though, they are a superb bike.

There were a few probs, rear hubs and bearing too small lead to bearing collapse, swingarms broken even a few frames broken. Not lots of frames but there were breakages, also swingarms but real prob was the hub and rear bearings not good

The factory does replace all of the above so if you have problems will be sorted

2010 sorted im told

on the 2010 evo beta have gone back to the 6004 bearings on the rear

haven't had any problems on the back wheel.

Hi there

Just purchased a lovely 09 Evo 250 and have just noticed a nasty chunk missing out of the edge ofthe rear wheel hub. The bit missing is approx the size of a thumb nail and exposes some (but not all) of the right hand side wheel bearing.

Is this something I should be concerned about or shall I just closley monitor the situation?

Any help/advice offered here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

How will you closely monitor it when you are wide open in 6th across a field between sections?

Mechanics Rule No. 26. An item that needs renewing, if not renewed at the earliest opportunity, will fail when furthest from home/assistance/tools and in failing will cause other undamaged parts to fail.

The resulting repair will cost twice as much.

A wise response thanks.. I guess I better look at getting the rear wheel hub renewed ASAP, bugger

Would anybody have an idea of cost or the best place to look for a second hand one if they are silly money?
