chris Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Rathmells will sell you the lot. Never heard of anyone doing recon engines for shercos. If you need a new big end bearing then you'll need some specialist to do it for you, not an easy job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Put the motor in a box and send it off to MRS, you will be better off than botching it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie stokes Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 hi my dad is a more than capable of doing it (he works in a garage) i have had some bits of rathmells and there good people but the parts cost a lot. so by asking on here i was trying to find out if any one has a piston ect or people who no shops who can get them (they DONT NEED TO BE OFFICIAL SHERCO PARTS ) and that reason is why rathmells charge so much its because they are sherco parts and it dont bother me what make they are. cheers jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilco Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 come on. Some one must know some were that does cheap parts In my experiance jamie cheap part's are normaly a mistake to buy mate. there life probaly won't be as long as the genuine part's so in the end it could cost you twice as much.unless your thinking of selling it staright away.

chris Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I've never heard of anyone doing replacement part for sherco's, you might be lucky and find a cheaper piston that fits off another bike but my guess is it will cost you a lot more in the long run trying to find one that might fit or modifing one to fit correctly. I still think you will have to send the crank away to get the big end changed, it not a job most garages will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot 3 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 come on. Some one must know some were that does cheap parts Hi Jamie, Go to MRS or a Sherco dealer, pattern parts or non-official parts tend to break much quicker. You'll also get guarantees from MRS for any work they do as well kiddo, well worth it. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john.b Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 You are giving us the impression that you want it fixed as cheap as possible to get rid and the next buyer will get the problems. If you are going to do a job Jamie then do it properly, dont do a bodgit repair as one of us might be the eventual buyer of your bike.

jamie stokes Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) no thats not the case what i am going to do is fix the bike and say it has had cheaper parts fitted and then it is up to the new owner if they want to use whats in it or put better parts in after all i dont want to spend Edited January 3, 2007 by jamie stokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john.b Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Fair enough. Still think the outcome is the same though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie stokes Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 i will say when i sell it adzactly (sp?) what it has had done so there will be no one losing out at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husky Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I suspect that when you strip it you'll find a few more things wrong with it,it's going to cost more than 200sovs to fix it by the time you've bought gaskets,seals,main bearings,piston,small end had the crankshaft rebuilt etc.I'd sell it as is as a field bike or partX it .,first loss is best loss in my experience.Sorry to put a damper on your hopes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
