How does that bike compare with the Sherco 125 4 stroke ?

When I change my 03 Rev to a newer bike, weight surprise me ( all the make I tested ) Guy

Back in the day's, you would see in all trail and trials bike advertisement the fork angle the trail along with the wheelbase. Anybody know these on there bike. I am not interested in the '' why and it's better '' just the dimension of the different bike. Guy

I bought a ST 250 2015 this fall, I mostly ride in the mountain. I thought it was a little nervous compared to my 03 Rev 250 at first, than put a 44t in the back and a slow throttle, works fine for me. I do miss the 6 gear transmission of the Beta, but I follow the thread about Beta popping out of gear with interest and it was part of my choice toward the ST. Guy P.S. I'm not Tony and this is just my opinion.

lineaway my exact feeling Guy But I'm sure I'm wrong!!

stpauls your right in saying that there will more power to the rear wheel but you will need more throttle ( rev ) to feel the '' kick ''. at least that was my feeling with my bike. Guy

The slow throttle and a little bigger rear sprocket are in my opinion the only mod you can make without playing with carburation Guy

When you saw an Astro it did look shorter than the Pursang I'm surprised that the steering angle had such little difference, maybe the 19 inch front wheel also made it look shorter. Guy

From memory they came here in Canada ( I was working at a Bultaco dealership at the time ) as racing bike only like the Pursang. I remember having read a test ride, the title was : They come sideway in the crate! They sure look good on a short track the few times I saw them. Guy

Mine was hard to kick, but started on 2nd kick cold, 1st when hot Guy

Hi Dan Maybe the magnet would get full off shi.. from the wear of the transmission. I don't have my Beta anymore but I follow your experimentation with great interest. Is it possible that the cam is a little too small for a 6 gear selection ? Guy

heffergm, that's the info I was looking for. Of course the pretend off all the sellers will tell you it work wonder, I like the user input. Thank you Guy

heffergm, seem's like you tired or use one, do you find it useful ?

I'm thinking about installing an hour meter on my Sherco ST 2015, can someone give me is experience? Guy

As Bmonk said there are some parts avalable at your friendly Yamaha dealer, but I found that some dealers don't sell the parts at the '' retail '' price. Yes I ordered parts from all over the world with, most of the time, no problem. It's winter time so you have time to look around before buying. Guy

Do you want to keep the head and tail/brake light ? I not ( as most rider ), it's a much easier job. Guy

Mick Andrews is I would say 5'10 tall from memory and picture taken with him Guy

I was very tempted to temper with the frame of my 250 TY a while back. Lucky for me, that was a TY and there was at the time some bare frame for sale at a very reasonable price, so I bought one and made some modification. The first one was footrest location, I'm 5'8'' ( short ) and I still like the 1 3/8 inch lower and 1 3/8 inch back. I'm not saying that it is the right location for your MAR but maybe the position I like, you would not. Guy

I ordered a couple of pilot jet from a Yamaha dealer last year, they where cheaper than everywhere else I had look. Maybe I was lucky. Guy

I was surprise to hear that the Motul in question was automotive oil as the dealer is not into auto., I checked the Motul site and they list the Gear 300 SAE75W90 100% synt oil as auto and moto oil, and gear oil viscosity isn't '' calculated '' the same way. That's why I asked, I'm sorry if I had some people offended by my question. Guy

I know it's been ask about a hundred time, but the I don't have a lot of choice here. I recently bought a lightly use Sherco St 250 2015, I really like the feel of the clutch. Now I have to change the oil in the gear box, unfortunately, I don't know and can't find what is in the gearbox. I have avalable Motul Gear 300 SAE75W90 100% synt oil. Any comments on that? Guy

I won't put my foot in my mouth this morning Guy

Never post anything at 4-45 AM when your reading your email on your cellphone !!! Your totally right Section Swept. Guy

The Venhill ( the one you have to assemble yourself ) as been the smoothest for me. When well lubricated along with a longer clutch '' arm '' make it a one finger thing with all the springs. Guy

The one who cut the spark arrestor is probably the culprit that relocate the shock Guy
