  1. Hi all Had my sons Gas gas e12 from new, its about two years old now, replaced batteries and general parts, but after last ride & charge i noticed the red indicators on the throttle were still lit, i removed the switch / key switch from the circuit to check this wasnt faulty, indicators on throttle were still lit and the throttle still operated the motor wit the switch open, any ideas?i ive checked all connections are dry and are not being shorted by water / moisture could it be a faulty relay or a faulty motor control unit? and if so does anyone know best place for parts, as i ve already tried to look for a motor control unit online with no joy. ultimatly i could just connect a switch on the bars directly inline with the terminals to the battery, but im unsure if this will cause further problems. thank in advance
  2. My sons gasgas e12 only lasts about 20mins now, it's a year old and I'm guessing the batteries need re-newing. It's the 36v 16in model, I can get the same 3 batteries for £55 but would rather upgrade if possible, I've read the forum for the oset bikes does anyone know if the same can be done to the gasgas e12, obv I don't want to fry the motor. Also if I was to upgrade to lithium batteries, what's the best size, AH charger ect? Many thanks in advance
  3. Much thanks, again!!! I've shorted the stat out. And the fan still requires a gentle tap to start spinning, fan knackered I think?!!
  4. i seemed to solve the problem for a short while, by changing the needle size, crank/fly seals and a good carb clean. But it now seems im back at square one again,Revs wont drop straight away after throttle release and revs build when iddling sometimes, seems to be worse when warm. everyone who hears it says " sounds like shes running lean". i use 70ml of ipone strawberry oil to 5l of standard unleaded. my carbs clean, seals are fine, cant find an air leak, but my fan has stopped spinning on its own accord, with a gentle tap it spins fine though! (which is annoying) is fan knacked? Ive read most threads on this site as i try understand & do work myself but it seems this is a real issue around this year of sherco (2011)
  5. hi, im having similar problems on my sherco 250 2011, did you resolve the matter?
  6. Problem solved, took the shocker off the bike, removed the spring to find No rebound / compression, Aparently the chrome chips/flakes off the rod especially under the rubber stopper, causing damage to the seals and a slow leak, causing damage to the piston, re-build required
  7. Thanks for the advise, It really does sound like a very solid metal on metal noise,
  8. It's on compression, right at the bottom asive it's bottoming out, or the rod inside the shocker is hitting , just wondered if there's anyway to tell if shockers gone without sending it off for refurb
  9. The rubber stopper is intact, I've just replaced all linkage bearings, can still compress shocker to make metal-metal knocking noise, spring seems fine and is compressed to 130mm , if the gas has gone could it be letting the rod hit the top of the shocker body? Or can I tell anyway if the shocker is knackered?
  10. Sherco 250 2011 rider.. Yep, my fan failed during a trail last week, caused scorching to cylinder head, the revs to build when idling, also revs would not drop straight away after releasing throttle, I've changed crank/ fly seals about 6 months ago, maybe due again?! How can I tell if the stator requires work? Already been through the carb saga on this bike,
  11. Still feels ok, not like a pogo or to hard, but can easily bounce it down to make it knock! ( presumed to be bottoming out) the linkage bearings are about ready to be replaced could these be causing this knock at the bottom? It seems expensive to send it for a re-con if not needed ! Many thanks
  12. " not mechanically minded rider " My rear shock still has bounce in it, but when I bounce the shock I can push so it knocks asif it's bottoming out, I've Tightend the spring up but it still does it! Spring knackered? Shocker knackered?
  13. sherco 250cc 2011 , Ive been told my bike is " hunting" after twisting the throttle the revs stay high and slowly build down, when iddling the revs build up or sometimes slow down till it stales Ive cleaned the carb myself and had it done by a local bike shop ( not a trails bike shop) Second time i took it back they replaced the crank seal, I still have the same problem! Im not very mechanicaly minded with trails bikes and am wondering what to try next as im at my wits end now, any help would be much appriciated, thanks,
