Cherokaa87 Posted Wednesday at 05:58 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 05:58 AM (edited) Hello everyone. My first post on a forum. I'm pleased to find you here. I have recently purchased a Sherco 290 x-ride. The bike was 2017 m.y, stored, never used, no mileage on clock. So I got it assembled and completed. We didn't touch oils and fluids at first, just doublecheck, it was there. So, somehow we ended up with a cold seizure. It happened instantly. So, I bought a used cylinder and barrel from the UK, with decent condition, and now I'm on a second run to try to get it run. But, I'm already scared enough and don't want to do anything stupid again. I also found out there was no fluid in the hydraulic clutch. I have no specifications for: Jetting settings for keihin 28 mm carb, Data for fluids for hydraulic clutch and ext, Oil specs for gearbox, Engine tolerances to double check measurements (cylinder gap, ring gap, squish). Also a new cylinder came w/o cutouts on the barrel for small O rings and I'm going to use brass O rings on top of the head to prevent coolant leak, Don't know coolant specifications either, Going to try 50:1 mixture fuel to oil.

Cherokaa87 Posted Thursday at 02:56 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:56 PM No I can't, I did check it for several times. My bike identifies as a trial, according to the VIN number but there is a lot of difference. I’m blaming the carb, it was running on lean and that caused a cold seizure. I have no data on factory settings. I like this bike, it's a bit different. I'm going to keep it in along term and that's why I'm trying to find out all potential issues.

mcman56 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Does it have the same transmission ratios as the trials engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to find it out is to compare. I have no data about it. The bike feels super light and well balanced. I already assembled the engine back, currently I need to adjust a squish clearance for 1.2 mm. It was 0.9. I ordered 2X0.4 gaskets on top of 0.5 base gasket. Also, the piston feels a bit lightweight and I'm wondering about engine balance. Edited 2 hours ago by Cherokaa87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
