On the 06 and 07 sherco why have they put holes in back mudguard so near to the air box :) ,wont all the mud and water get in get in. :thumbup:

Yes, just like the Mont and Gasgas with the intake right behind them. Not the best of designs eh.... Seems the manufacturers all have a competition to see who can come up with the best design for force feeding crap into the airbox these days....

Use some wire mesh/guaze like they use in car body repair fibreglass kits and cover the holes with it from the underside. You can silicon or duct tape it on or whatever. It'll keep some of the crud out but not all and not water, but better than leaving them open. I actually duct taped over the holes completely on my new 98 Mont for the SSDT that year to keep it out and it didn't affect the way it ran. Still knocked, banged and pinked its way round the road. Bit of a culture shock after minging a TYZ around flat out everywhere the year before. No crap in that airbox either

Where you are, probably not, but in the muddy old UK, water and mud regularly gets splashed up over the bike, straight through those holes to the vicinity of the intake, well before the submarine impersonations begin...
