Looks pretty for sure ;-)

stealth stɛlθ/ noun 1. cautious and surreptitious action or movement. "the silence and stealth of a hungry cat" I got it now lol!!

Errr.... "Stealth" ....This is code right Cope lol!!

I'm right with you there Cope.

Thats interesting Tony, I remember some time back there was a guy on TA that fitted and OKO 24mm to his Sherco 4T and said he loved it after that. I'm feeling kinda over the 2T's. I'm still just a novice rider that wants a more docile ride now. Best of balance. Neo

Ok I get it now... Sorry ;-) This is the kind info I needed .... Many thanks guys. Slightly off thread ... What do you guys know about the Beta 4T engine?... Any good? Best of balance. Neo

Sorry perce, but I don't follow your logic here. I'm sure you know that the 320, like all the other 4T's was originally developed for environment conservation reasons (2T's were going to be abolished) and the smooth delivery of power was/is well suited to Trials. But it was a more expensive engine/bike that weighed more and did not have quite as much power as the 290....The price alone made it less popular but I believe that popularity has nothing to do with "a Good bike" or "a Bad bike" of my choosing. Best of balance. Neo

Thanks Chris, Ok please tell me .... Was that 320 engine well suited to Trials? .... Did the high pot raise the centre of gravity by much? Best of balance. Neo

Hi All, Could someone please tell me what was the last year that Sherco did the 4T Trials? Many thanks. Neo

Hi Steve, Well apart for the sharper clutch action it soaks into the clutch plates. Later (when you want a smoother clutch lol!) you'll have to replace those plates to give you back a smooth action. If none of this is a big deal then no worry but I've had quite a bit of success running Synthetic 5w30 Castrol 5w30 Edge Sport ... or ...Nulon 5w30 "Long Life Diesel and Petrol Oil" Riding most days over 3 years I've proved that I get minimal gear wear when I use these oils (no silver or grey in waste oil) so I'm sticking with these Best of balance either way. Neo

Don't do it!!!

Gotta be the woodruff key ... can't see how it could be the stator? Maybe that stator nut was a bit loose?? Best of balance. Neo

I hated he "bend-it-trick" but sometimes it's necessary.....if it's possible. Assuming you need to get the old nipple out may as well make a decent job of it. Also if you dab some Anti Seize on the thread (each spoke thread in fact) it won't happen again. So do it good now so you can forget it later lol! All the best. Neo

Thanks for that Cope. Have fun out there. Neo

Hi Cope, How's the Suspension different and how does it help your riding? I still have the TRP on my bike. Would it be a big improvement on that? Are you still on a 250? All the best. Neo

Hey Cope, Yep it's been a long time. I can count on one hand how many times I've ridden my bike these past two years (since moving house) so I need something exciting to tempt me back to frequent riding. Was hoping that Sherco could do some magic in 2014.... but maybe next year You take care mate.... "I'll be back" ... one day!!! Best of balance. Neo

Hi All, Just popped back to see what's been happening this past year. Any news or pics on the new 2014 Sherco's? All the best. Neo

No, no worries ;-) I did a full write up on "how I did it" on this forum somewhere and there were some good tips for the other guys too. Best of luck. Neo

That's the same thing as the "leak down test" I mentioned previously. I drilled through an old spark plug and glued in a tyre value stem..... easy to pump up that way. See if it holds pressure. And you can also take the crank case breather tube and put it into a glass of water to check for bubbles. All the best. Neo

I hope these seals work for you Paul because they did nothing for me..... Might take a few ride to be sure but please updated us after that. >80:1 fully Syth is the way to go. All the best. Neo

Not unless the seals are very, very bad.... A leak down test is better but still no guarantees..... And I must admit that I actually spent more time preforming a leak-down test than I did changing the seals lol!! All the best either way. Neo

Hi Paul, My understanding is based more on personal experience than anything else. As I said I spent a LOT of time trying to fix the hunting but but it came back every time. I was using 98 (with a small Pilot jet) and I didn't want to change that because it gave more zap and power. I had read on numerous occasions that a larger Pilot cures hunting but you can't do that on 98 because it runs far too rich. And having a larger Pilot jet makes it less prone to carb blockages ....which really added to the confusion of tracking down my problem. Hmmm... I assuming that RON (Research Octane Number) is a international standard?.... But if 95 is all you have access to then I guess you'll just have to work with that. In Aus we go from 91 to 98. I'd also agree that giving Chris at Splat shop call is a good idea Hey Steve, What float height did you end up with?.....I used Vitron seals when I did my Crank seals (not so cheap lol!) and removing the gear pinion on the clutch side can be a real bugger lol!! Best of luck. Neo

In my experience 95 is too high.....get 91, if you can, then tune from there.

Hi Paul, I did all the same things as you plus a whole lot more .....with 3 different carbs too. I can give no guarantees but have a go at using low octane fuel with a fully synthetic 2T oil (Like Castrol 2T Racing) then adjust the fuel mix (Dellorto) or air mix to run sweet when warmed up. Depending on past setup you may also need to go for a larger pilot jet too. If the reeds were buggered your problem would be consistent .... And my guess is your having good days and bad days? .... Depending on the air pressure and humidity etc.... Best of luck. Neo

A 604 Ft long jet would be perfect!! ... sorry I couldn't resist
