February 24, 201313 yr Is the engine in the 2012 sherco 290 (apart from the carb) the same as the earlier models like 2008/2009? Been looking for a service Manual but can only find one for up to 2009 model... I'm wanting to know how much gear oil and what type....
February 24, 201313 yr the engine on the 2012 bike is almost the same as older years except for a few different internal things. you should put 450mls of gear oil in but thats if its completely empty (dry) i used to put 400mls in my sherco and never had any problems. i used this oil http://www.splatshop.co.uk/gro-gear-extrem-75w.html it is not the cheapest but i found it eliminated any clutch drag and lasted a very long time between changes. this will also be fine http://www.splatshop.co.uk/putoline-light-gear-oil-1ltr.html but it wont be as good quality as the gro oil (in my opinion)
