- Rear Wheel Bearing Removal Problems
Jitsie sell this tools. Yes, it is overkill for who change bearings of one bike 4-5 times in a decade. But your mechanic has to have one...if not, run away.- Rear Wheel Bearing Removal Problems
My answer is a expanding mandrel. Fit the mandrel in bearing Put the expanding rod from other side Hit it with a hammer The bearing will exit centered. This is important to not enlarge hub hole To fit new one, you will need a tool to keep spacer centered and apply force centered only on external ring- Gasgas trials 250 fan issues
Fan should spin if you short circuit thermostat wires. If not, check AC before and DC after rectifier/regulator (small square black box)- Oil Level 2004 Sherco
Theres no fill level. When you change oil (around 450cc) it should keep at same level if there no leaks. Cooling system takes around 500cc.- Machining Your Own Parts
90 psi and turn the part you want to fix red hot with a torch.....use a pressure regulator to maintain pressure constant since it tend to increase when you heat the carbon inside (burn most you can before), use thick gloves, face shield and all proctetive equipment you have since it is something dangerous.- Machining Your Own Parts

Scorpa has new chassis one year sooner than sherco....keep an eye open for them too- Sherco v Beta
Sherco had new model (chassis) in 2017. They revised clutch too. Now diaphagm like gasgas pro engine. So, it is a more modern product. If this mean better product or not, it rely on personal opinion.- Weight of fly wheel different manufactures.
Power (torque) come from engine. It is'nt altered by flywheel. Flywheel is a rotating mass that can store momentum. It has two effects: 1) when engine is comming from a lower RPM to a higer RPM: Engine will increase rpm slower since it has an added mass to accelerate. It can increase traction due a less agressive behavior and it will decrease power burst you have using throttle. 2) When engine is comming from a higer RPM to lower RPM: Flywheel will give energy to system. Rotating momentum can be used to drive the motorcycle. An side efferct is the engine runnig in a more steady way when travelling during a rough terrain like over a bunch of loose rocks or loose terrain. On malleability deppartment, it can increase the "heavy feeling" on motorcycle just like we feel on a big bore engine. Had played with flywhhel a lot and my feeling is: It only good in specific conditions (mud, senior rider, MX bikes on enduro). https://youtu.be/16d-ewfc8lU For average Joe, most of time, better stick with what come from factory.- Machining Your Own Parts
