Anyone else had cracks in their airbox? Im alittle unsure how to repair it, Im tempted by plastic welding or some sort of bonding agent like tiger seal, anyone had any luck with it? heres a pic of mine

Cheers bud, considering a crank is now £250, it was worth buying for the bottom end alone, it is crazy money these honda parts now Thinking about an RTL scheme, i'll put up the finished article,

guessing you were trying to buy it for spares then? The pallet was about £45, but then i got stung with a £30 collection charge as he went home at 5pm..10 mins before the courier tried to collect ! .. so didnt end up being quiet the bargin. But Im looking forward to having it back together. Saving the bike, rather than stripping it

Here is my first montesa, Im hoping i know where all the bolts go ! I bought it on a pallet, its had a new bottom end, i've just bought a new top end. Time to tackle the rest of the bike

can you still buy the 2006 ish mudguards from the retailers?

did this on an 06 Rev3 270, I didnt polish the fingers, and the first outing didnt show much progress but after the second outing it hasnt slipped at all. really happy i've done this. Do we recon this issue is across all the bike makes?

heres mine, its not pretty but it bends and holds, two bits of metal and some pop rivets

Im commeting so i can find this thread later, handy post and think i need to do this on my beta

from looking at your photos you need a new side casing the Corrosion has gone too far. I had to do this to mine. The casing will now be porous, sorry bud but its going to cost you. Feet up trials sport sorted me out with all the bits at good prices.

Think i'll watch this thread, keep the info and resources coming !

Hi All, At the weekend i stripped the rear brakes completely down on my 2001/2002 Sherco 125. And sadly managed to snap the retaining circlip in the master cylinder. Does anyone now what size it is off hand? I dont have any spare and im loathed to buy a 300pc pack for £80 from halfords when they are about 50p each. Anyone any ideas?

All good ideas and i think i'll investigate the caliper and see whats what first. Im not sure i'll get away with baking the brakes though, last time i tried to 'cook' a headlight so i could split it.. i got quite a telling off haha. I think a plumbers torch should work just as well though

Thank you very much for the offer of posting a set, however the post of postage from texas to the uk may out weigh the cost of buying new. Ill admit i did a google search and saw the thread about cooling the caliper. I think ill check over the caliper,maybe take a layer off the pads and heat it up. See how i go. Im guessing the sherco, Gas Gas and beta 4 pots fit, if i decide to do it?

Hi guys,thats great. Does the brake line still fit etc?and what bikes have the 4 pot caliper?? Id like to buy one cheap of ebay, but not sure which bike i need to be robbing one from?? Cheers !

if its anything like my old Gas Gas, (which is the last one i took off) the loom went from the stator all the way up to the headstock where all the wires bunch up. Bit of a hassle to strip im afriad

Are the hebo boots anygood? will they last or just fall apart? I've still got my Diadorra 2stone and am happy with em. But am looking to get the young un some new ones

Hi All, I've got my 15 year old brother riding a 2002 Sherco 125. Im very impressed with the little bike, goes any where i want it to (which isnt bad considering im bigger and heavier haha) However the front brake is rubbish. Its a Single piston jobbie, with no vents in the disc. Is there anyway to upgrade it? My mate with a Mont 315 just upgraded the front brake on his to a twin pot and its really changed the bike. so im looking to do the same. But dont really know which calipers fit and what modifications need doing. ANy help would be appreciated. Thanks ! Matt

I dont know about the Rev3 engine, but i know the TXT PRO had oil ways for the gearbox oil to lubricate the mains, is this not so on the rev3?

you could say the same about the bearings tho and pay double at beta. I'll see how i go, may write a how to, if i end up splitting the casings

even the seals though seem to be a standard part according to some of the posts on TC, Think im going to check all my bolts and then re-examine the mains issue

look to be about 25 GP in the uk, Canada280i do these go under your trials trousers then? Im not sure mine would be baggy enough for them but its a good idea. I also have a nice lump on my knee from a trial yesterday !

Sorry for bumping another old thread, just though it was better than starting a new one. Im getting excessive vibration through my foot pegs and i believe it to be the mains. It seems all you need is Mains, main seals and a centre crankcase gasket. Has anyone had any joy with Branded Bearings like SKG, rather than going to beta and paying over twice as much? cheers

im having similar issues of excessive vibration with my 270 Beta, It also had water pump failure and severe gearbox contamination. this is all fixed now but compared to my 125 sherco the vibration is very noticeable. can anyone else confirm if replacing the mains cures the problem? are the expensive to buy? Cheers Matt

Glad he was able to help fella. I did notice that the spring was missing from the seal, so something is off. Definately worth removing the casing and having another look

hmmm, not too sure about that, initially i think you've not seated the casing properly on the engine, as i think it should sit in that 'lip' I'll get a photo of my gearlever for comparison tonight
