Not always the case ive had mine 2 months and feel comfy on the bike. Just get out and practice and see what your bike can and cant do

^^^ happy days cheers

Need to change the plug on my bike as i thinks its faulty i read on here last night that i need a bp5es. Been to the quarry today as i knew they sold plugs cheap and got 2x bp6es as he said they would be ok for my bike is this true or should i just get a bp5es during the week? Cheers tom

Just spent the day rewiring my car stereo and have about a metre of wire left. Question is can i make a diy wiring harness or does a 2004 sherco have special conectors or can i just use the spade type conectors Cheers tom

With any luck if it stops running like a bag of spanners n is fixed i will be at cowm this sunday getting some practice in for the wed night. Will speak to mr butterworth about that mcc trial n maybe come n have a watch

Hiya phil cheers for the offer but its in the middle of a rebuild after a crash at the weekend so i can get it ready for darwen trial on wed 11th. So if the offer is still there after that can i take u up on it please Ps yea the exhaust was a gold colour when i got it but im only getting into the trials scene i dont know the ins and outs yet. And the rear mudgaurd aint melting also when putting my hand behind the silencer its about the same temp as a car's exhaust gases by feel i will dig my tenp senser out my RC gear and get some readings when its fixed

Now im worried. I know the fan works so that must be a good sign plus since owning the bike ive gone to 80ml per 5 litres (60:1ish) with having a rebuild

well ive only had the bike a month so i dont know if its been messed with in the past all i know is the lad who i bought it from thought it had piston lock so he changed the piston and rings but couldnt get it running so he sent it in to be looked at and it had the following above motorcycle brought in with barrel/head etc removed plus a box of bits. inspect engine and remove from bike, completeley strip motor and replace main bearings and seals (had to have one main bearing cut off crank) clean up all parts and rebuild with new gaskets, deglaze barrel, replaced spark plug, replenish coolent plus gearbox oil clean plus re oil air filter put in fresh fuel rebuild all removed parts and bleed clutch he got it back on the 8/6/10 and i bought it on 10/6/10 if i take it to my local trials dealer will he know if its been played with? tom

was out on my bike today and someone said that my manifold does not look right as it may be running to hot. instead of the chrome it has turned a gold colour can anybody shed some light on it for me please sorry for the pic was taken from my iphone cheers tom

phew! cheers guys now need to work out the ratio of 80:1 with 15 litres

i have a 2004 sherco 290cc and on my frame it says ipone Synthesis at 2%.. So yesterday i bought this ipone 2 stroke oil have i got the wrong stuff with it being semi synthetic? much help needed please cheers

sorry to high jack this thread.. can i ask if i fill a jerry can with 20 ltrs at 80:1 i will need 250ml of 2 stroke? and also will the mix last 2-3 week mixed or will it all settle? cheers tom

cheers guys had a play again tonight after work with setting it up and got it spot on now. only took me 6 more attemps to get the bike its self on the rack with out it falling over in a heap on the floor lol

having 2nd thoughts about this rack now. Ive just had a practise run at loading the bike on my self and what concerns me is when its tightend down it leans into the car abit to much for my liking. Is this normal or have i gone overboard on the straps with tightening? cheers tom

1.4 polo with me my mum in the front and my dad and a 4 stone english bull in the back and a 35kg sound system in the boot and a 67kg bike on the rack and never noticed the differance. 50kg nose weight of a polo is a load of garbage as i perposely overloaded it to see what i can push to its limit.

cheers for the replys guys think im gonna go for the Michelin x11 for the extra

i need a new back tyre on my sherco 290 and want to know what peeps are runnig. i plan to use my bike at cowms quarry in bacup whitworth so if any one can reconmend a tyre please ive been lookin on trialsuk for some to give me an idea TYRES trialsuk cheers in advance again tom (ps i dont meen to mither its just ive only gotten back in to the hobby after 11 yrs of not riding from a young age)

cheers for the replys guys.

hi just bought a 2004 sherco 290 on thursday and got it out today to have a better look at it and noticed that the front disc moves back and forth. is it meant to rock back and forth like a floating disc or am i missing something like spacers etc much help needed tom

cheers mate for the info. the tow bar place orderd me a swan neck type so im a bit behind on that at the moment. plus i got a spare crash bar as mines bent on the car where the last owner reversed into a bollard.

cheers caddabs for the advice i will get them to install the towbar tommoz and then arrange for them to fit the ball when i have the rack mount to hand... As for the boot space ive not used it since i passed my test 5 yrs ago as ive always had some sort of system in there. my old polo system in the new polo

thanks for all the input looks like the dave cooper rack it is.. booked my car in for a towbar tommorrow at 2pm but what type of rack would you suggest as people have used a van/4x4 rack to put the bike further away from their car.. The car in question is a 1.4 6n2 vw polo and ive just weighed my subwoofer box and subs and that weighs 35kg so that will have to come out when i tow the bike

Hi im goin to bite the bullet and buy a bike rack this week ive had 2 qoutes from both dave cooper and kliponoff for there racks posted. Which if money wasnt a problem would you the riders choose dave cooper rack: galvonise finish
