essex rider Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Right, ive heard the standard shock on a sherco isnt that good and was wondering what replacements there are. The ones ive found are the ohlins one and these new TRP ones. Does anyone know if these are any good and how much a TRP shock is (they look so damm good in orange) Any help much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrybaines Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) think they were 03 290 and 05 290 my first ride on a Sherco and was mildly impressed although the Beta still has the edge for my personel feel Not fully fixed and only short little rides hurts a bit but i`ll get over it! plus I need too get the strength back in that hand/arm somehow! why not do it riding Edited December 17, 2006 by barrybaines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essex rider Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Or ride a twinshock with VERY stiff clutch any you will be super strong (like me ) The 06 shock are supposed to be the bad ones not the other years. I also had a go on a 125 gasser and the shock on that was dead and power delivery horrible, however it very rarely gets looked after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantic303 Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 TRP shocks are developed by Thijs from Belgium. These are high quality shock absorbers with a very progressive action, in the beginning very light for hopping etc and at and hard for the big steps Thijs Motorhuis (TRP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essex rider Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Thanks for that................any idea on price in the uk?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john.b Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 At www.zonetrial.com they are 479 euros. Not seen them advertised in the UK. Where can you buy the Ohlins shock from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essex rider Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 not sure but ive seen one advertised on here.# Is the sherco shock the same as a gas gas or the montesa rear shock ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john.b Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 There was a guy selling his Gasgas Ohlins shock on here last week as he had gone Sherco and the Gasgas shock would not fit. Would not recommend it anyway as it will be valved and have a spring to suit the Gasgas not the Sherco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essex rider Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 on this site they have replacement springs that you can get in titanium, wonder if these improve the action of the shock?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi All, I've just got a TRP for my 2007 Sherco and it feels great. I have a few questions though. Which way up is best for access to the adjusters and what exactly does the small screw and the orange knob do. I assume they are rebound and compression damping? I'd really like to hear from anyone with experience with this shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betapete Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 i just had a shock in off an '08 sherco, the bump stop rubber was disintegrated, and the chrome plating on the rod was completely fu-bared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larstrialinfo Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Off Road Action (Jitsie) had TRP shocks. It is a good shock. Off Road Action Dealers UK Watch also the catalog of Off Road Action About the Sherco shocks: The old shocks, 99-05 are good. 06 shock not so good and 07 shock is bad. Your own weight is important, when your weight is not average, or you have a 06/07/08 sherco shock, it is a good idea to replace them, like a TRP shock. I know Patrick from Thijs (racing products) (TRP) and his own products are from high quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
