  1. Had the same thing on same forks. I did what Dabba did except I had to shock the spacer out of position by holding the stanchion in my hands and hitting the bottom of the slider onto a rubber mat on the floor. The spacer had expanded, I tried turning its diameter down which was too difficult because of it being so thin walled and flexible, so made a new one from nylon but with a reduced diameter.

  2. I've had a 2014, 2015 and now 2018. No mechanical issues other than parts that wear, brake pads, chains, suspension linkage bearings etc. I fit a slow throttle tube and S3 flywheel weight. Try before you buy.

    the 200 based on the 250 engine with different crank, not on the 125.....

    If you have a GASGAS or Sherco, you can change the barrel and make a "200" with about 160cm³....

    Aah, Sherco 200 ❤️ I loved that bike but probably wouldn't now, so better move on. 

  4. I've a couple of witness marks on both legs inner calfs just below the knee. These are the result of feet slipping off the kickstart on wet or muddy trials (left leg Beta, right leg others) I wear Jitsie knee pads and of course the kickstart or footpegs strikes just behind the protected area, just like steel toe cap work boots, if something lands on your foot it lands just behind the toe protector?. If this is how you got injured try leaning your bike away from the kickstart side when kicking to ensure your foot gets good contact with the kickstart. 

  5. And the water pump hose clip failed, the radiator guard didn't fit the radiator securely and paint flaked off the swinging arm. There, think that's it. 2018 250 RR bought new, owned 6 months. Don't blub taff_d, ? there's bad examples of all bikes, that was my experience of this one. Right I'm off to upset someone who owns a Hotpoint washer, the troubles I've had...
