Had problems with my Sherco since I bought it last September. Went riding on Corsica a five day guided ride by Michael Pissano (paris/dakar & enduro proffessionel) second day my bike conked out no spark. so we telephoned Dherby Moto in France who sent stator CDI , flywheel key ,puller etfc etc. we got the bits next day by airmail it turned out to be the HT coil which we didn't have as these normally never fail!...We scoured the island and found an Ht coil from a DT Yam which gave a massive spark. When we got back to mainland went to Dherby with the bits ready to pay for what I'd used and the freight cost ..The guy would take no money and said it was all covered under the warranty.he said Sherco have a 1 year warrant and Beta a 2 year warranty.he was surprised to see the "old type" rear wheel on my bike every bike he had sold was "recalled "and a new rear wheel supplied.I have in past never had a problem with Beta service but have had to fight over months to resolve small problems with the Sherco including the rear wheel. My question is WHY is is different in uk? to France..Just as a point of interest to those who like to fiddle for performance...the ht coil from an old DT yam gave a super spark which was reflected in the response/power of the motor..shame I had to give it back! Logical excuses for comparitively. poor service would be appreciated
The first thing to check is there a spark if so and it wont start check the timing now im not 100% what it should be but 2mm btdc is a safe place to start. if the timing is way out wip the flywheel off and check the woodruff key is intact.
Google "todo trial" you may be able to download a owners handbook from that site.
I have a cota 200 I got cheep as a non runner and it was just the woodruff key.
Good bike but the kickstarter is a weak point so dont jump on it as parts are impossible to find and they can jump out of gear in steep climbs.
