I bought my graphics from Express Signs. Great quality, bright colours, nice and thick vinyl. Quick deliveriy, no issues at all, would just again.

I come from a kart racing background where custom paint is very popular. £240 is pretty cheap compared to some of the helmets I've seen in the past. http://www.stick-nick-graphics.com do nice vinyl jobs for much less.

I was going to put up a few photos of the rebuild of my 06 Sherco 125 the other week but never got round to it. For any T+MX news readers it's on page 13 this week I'll try and scan a copy in. Cheers to those who answered the questions I was posting up when it was spread across the garage floor in bits! Alan

Had a good Saturday on the Sherco. 3rd gear wheelie resulted in me coming off the back commando rolling into the mud with my bro killing himself laughing

Sherco and Alpinestars for me as well! No problems with vibrations.

I used to use Spellfame a lot when I was racing karts, really good bunch of guys. A747 is popular with people who race Parilla Formula Blue

Had Sherco's and a Scorpa in my Combo with no problems. Back wheel first, diagonally across van and 2 straps from the bars to the loading hooks. Looking at changing vans soon though, not sure what will replace the trusty Combo.

Don't know about the hyper t. I have a Penta in large and an SK5 for kart racing in extra large. Seems Arais vary in size across their range. Penta is a lovely helmet

I have Alpinestars, really happy with them. Comfy and light weight, soles have great grip and keep my feet dry even upto my shins in a river

Cheers guys, Philpots (pitted forks) have been recommended by another friend. Will give a go at repairing them. Cheers Al

I put them in to a friend's bike shop to have the seals done. They have tried to rub them down and clean them up but don't think the new seals will last too long with the stanchions as they are. I've had a quick google and regrinding and replating seems quite a common occurrence. Would be nice to have a reccomendation of who to use. Al

The fork stanchions on my 06 Sherco 125 are badly scratched and need re plated. Anyone had this done and can recommend someone who will do it properly? New legs are

Cheers Sam sounds good. I'm going to have a go at mine I think but will buy a new one if needed. Al

I might try and flush it through, but I think it will end up with a new one. Thanks for the help. Al

Has anyone had much success trying this? I was thinking it either needs the welds ground back and split open or a hole cut in the side. Neither job looks that easy to do neatly. I have a friend who is an alloy welder so not to worried about having it put back together, just getting it to that stage i'm not sure about. Trying to decide if the the hassle outweighs the cost of a new one. Cheers Al

Does anyone have a link to where I can download the tech manual for my '06 Sherco 125? One that will have torque values etc and not just basic servicing details. Cheers Al

I had water in my carb, and luckily a mate knows what he was doing and removed the float bowl and jets and blasted it all with carb cleaner. It revved cleanly after that and finished the day with no problems. Alan

Thanks for the replies, i've been in contact with Chris at Splatshop who has been really helpful. We'll get something sorted out. Alan

Hi guys, I'm rebuilding my 2006 Sherco 125 and the rear shock is scrap. I've looked at the Ohlins and the Jitsie both a lot of money compared to what the bike is worth. I saw a replacement Olle shock on a French site for 290 euros, is there a uk supplier for these? Cheers Alan
