Cheers for the info. All the bits to fix it are cheaper than I thought, so its not a big disaster. And thanks to the link at the top the info to do it is all readily available. Its been a few years since I've had a motor down to its crank, and I was feeling a little unsure about the whole thing. 163cc? Is that right?

Firstly I'd like to say hello to you all , the beers are on me!!! Due to a slight miscalculation on my part, I find myself the proud owner of a 200 Sherco, 2000 or 2001 , with shot main bearings. Lots of horrible noises from the bottom end, and 5mm + of play on the flywheel. I have a couple of questions for those of you who know more than me that I'd be grateful for some replies to. First I need to identify the exact model and year of the bike. Second, where is the best place to buy the spares I need - bearings , seals , gaskets etc. Third, I'm not a mechanical virgin, but I've never had a Sherco engine apart before. Is there anything specific I might need to watch for? I'm sure I'll have more later, but thats it for now. Cheers.
