grabasarni Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbeta23 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited November 16, 2009 by GasGasben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diligaf Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiptop Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezza Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 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. To sum up, a stitch in time saves nine. (readers of the playstation generation consult parents) Trip to A&E optional.

tiptop Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Jezza 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?
