  1. I bought a TTR draft carbon from MRS last week for £139, cheapest buy about £80 from anywhere else.

    I'm a sucker for shiny things as well, just bought a new sherco, cause I can and I liked the colour, won't make me any better, probably worse, but who cares, don't drink, don't smoke, don't go with women but I have an expensive bike habit.
  3. Away and boil your head you bunch of teuchters
  4. I have nae idea what you are talking about but at a guess, the standard spring will be probably for a 70kg rider, I'm near 100, so again guessing, there must be a reason why they produce heavier springs, surely it can't be a sales gimmick can it ?
  5. I ordered a heavier spring from them the other day, it's fairly easy to change the spring. Got myself a flywheel weight as well though not sure about that, well particularly the how to fit it as I don't have an impact gun to pop the retaining nut off.
  6. No sure how that's gonna make me feel the tyre gripping.
  7. Bike rides fine, just have no feeling of grip at all. I was the only one not getting up or through wet or churned up stuff at all, cost me at least 5 5's today.
  8. I've been riding bikes for centuries and never been able to sus out suspension
  9. Suspension is as it came new, my gasser did have a heavier weight spring but no flywheel weight.
  10. Just recently bought myself a new sherco 300, lovely bike and today was my second time out on it but was founding really badly when it came to grip, just couldn't feel anything. Fives all over the place by not getting any grip through the muddy parts, that everyone else was easily coasting through... On my gasser I could feel the grip coming on and was able to throttle accordingly but today, nothing, ziltch, couldn't feel a thing....what's up ???
  11. Is it ?? I didn't know it didn't apply to bikes
  12. Does anyone know which band the Co2 emissions will be for registering a new bike from the 1st April for the new vehicle taxing band ?? https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables/vehicles-registered-on-or-after-1-april-2017
  13. It is missing, it's not under the needle, I'm questioning if said missing retaining part is causing said problems as there is no tension on the needle.
  14. Missing spring retainer on top of needle ???
  15. http://www.splatshop.co.uk/sherco-nylon-spacer-throttle-spring-keih1.html Could answer some running issues.
  16. So this white plastic part should sit on top of needle held down under tension by the spring on the slide ye ??
  17. Can anyone tell me if the needle on the Keihin carb just sits in the slide via gravity? What I mean by that is, does it just sit there and not held down under tension??
  18. You'll be staggered to find how much power a newer 125 has. I'm 15 stone and the 15 125 gasser I've had a shot of would get up and over anything we have at our club trials.
  19. Nothing has changed inside the carb to our knowledge so I'm not sure how the float heights would change ?? Plug in to the HT doesn't seem to "click in" solidly ?? It is running very rich as even a new plug is sooting up just going up the street and back, so leaned it off a bit. I'll probably be riding it at the weekend as I'm now bikeless, so watch my scores come down.
  20. It rides very freely in higher gears, it's the lower ones where it struggles.
  21. Friend of mines Gas Gas 125 doesn't seem to rev out in the lower gears 1/2/3, but will happily rev higher in the higher gears. It can pottle through a section ok..ish in 1st but if it need to be revved high it drops off quickly. We're a bit out of ideas what the issue is, cleaned the jets and changed the plug but outside that, we're lost... Any ideas of said symptoms ???
