Hi Check for corrosion build up between stator coils and flywheel. I had a stator meter out perfect but no spark. I cleaned off the corrosion and all was fine. Geebee

Hi Re fitting bash plate. With the earlier Shercos, I start the underneath bolts, then use a long bolt in one side at the front. I pull the plate up with these, then fit the missing front bolt and then exchange the long bolt. This works for me.

Hi I would ensure the small airway from the back of the carb is clear. This feeds the pilot jet. Blow out with air from front of carb backwards through syatem. The mixture at partial throttle relies on the pilot system operating. Because you are having to turn in the slow speed screw and the macine is running lean I would certainly check the pilot system.

Hi everyone Interesting about the shocks on the 2010 model. Whether it was because of the required location for adjusting the spring tension, below the exhaust, or some other reason, after the spring had settled we ran out of adjustment before we could achieve the required sag. A 3mm spacer was machined and fitted and the suspension now works fine. ps the bike carries in excess of 15 stones. Geebee

I believe some of these models had a problem with the fuel tap. Have you tried running it on reserve. The Sherco site covers a modification.

Pop the bike into gear while rolling and then with the clutch lever pulled in apply the rear brake. Clutch will then clear. Works for most trials bikes

Hi Many years ago I built a mini majesty using all new parts. The main changes were to shave the front of the barrel and modify the exhaust to fit the frame, We then extended the swinging arm by about 25mm and moved backwards and lowerd footrests. To suit the extra length we fitted a TY250 rear mudguard. Decent shockers were also fitted. My lad rode the machine in B class before switching to a mono. Geebee

Hi I use mountain bikers " No Tube" tape on top of spokes, then add latex type sealant over tape. I then dust rim seal with talc, add latex under valve and fit seal starting at valve. This is the only way I have been able to seal tubless tyres. Check out www.justridingalong.com Geebee

Hi Thanks for all your sugestions guys. I do however think that the photo makes it look worse than it actually is. I see the structural integrity being only partially reduced and well within any safety allowance of the design. I have decided that as it is not broken, I will not fix it. However to reduce future further damage, I will implement Ishys remedy. (My lad was talking with Ishy on the ferry on Friday) Although for the bottom clamp to hit the frame tube, the radiator has to be dislodged, that sharp edge must still constitute a Sherco design failure. Next job is to check the radiator as it did need a little coolant in the latter days of the six. Best Regards Geebee

Hi It was a big off in Scotland. It happened on the track on Wednesday up to Mamore Road but the bike finished the week. A visual inspection shows no damage to the bars but the rider was somewhat detuned. Other damage includes a dented fuel tank and scars on the exhaust. Work now begins to put things right

Sherco 2010 sustained damage to down tube Please find attachment showing sustained damage to down tube

Hi Has anyone designed a strengthener plate for the down tube? Our 2010 has a dent where the bottom yoke has hit the down tube. Seems like a common problem with the 2010 Sherco. I have thought about epoxying a half pipe 1/2"nb sch 10s SS over the dent.

Hi Again Also check that the floats are correctly orientated. Flat to bottom of float bowl. A good check is to give the carb a gentle shake after reassemby and hear the floats move.

Hi Have you checked the floats are not punctured. I had a float fill with fuel which caused a similar problem.

Have noticed that the new Sherco has a bush instead of the needle bearing. This may improve the situation

Hi Have you checked the disc? Elongation in the holes can cause this to click when spun Geebee

Hi This is my remedy for sealing tubeless tyres. Clean internal of rim carefully with special attention to sealing area. I then apply "No Tubes" thin spoke tape and slightly overlap the well. Then force tape into well with a sharp tool - screw driver And apply " No Tubes" sealant to the edge of tape Apply "No Tubes " sealant around underside of valve Use silicon spray on rubber seal and set seal in place using screwdriver Blow tyre onto rim Add more sealant through valve Replace valve and inflate to required pressure. Note "No Tubes" is a mountain bike product.

Having seen that Gas Gas hir bikes for the SSDT, I would beinterested to know if other importers offered a similar service Geebee

Ladies and Gentlemen With the Cliff Collinson National Trial fast approaching at Scarborough, I would like to take this opportunity to show a few clips of Cliff in action. As near as I can remember, these shots were from circa 1987. I sincerely hope that this is not offensive. Regards Geebee

Something sounds odd with turning a screw in anti clockwise

I have experienced the problem you describe and it was finally traced to fuel supply. I had over adjusted the tab on the float system and reduced the flow of fuel into the carburettor. Consequently when revved the engine leaned out with the reduced fuel level in the bowl. This is a simple check to make and together with the cleaning tips previously advised should correct your problem

I have a similar problem Only occurs when I change the oil I think the 450 ml quoted by Sherco is for a new build on the engine and when changing the gearbox oil some is retained and consequently a high level is generated in the gearbox and this excess is then pumped out. I think the low pressure pumping is created by the meshing of the gears and once the level has settled no further oil is lost.

Whilst checking the carb ensure that the emulsion tube is properly tightened up. A loose tube can cause alsorts of problems

Hi Have you tried dressing the slots in the clutch basket and the grooves in the clutch hub where the clutch plates and metal plates rise and fall when the clutch is operated. The wear on these items can cause the clutch to stick. Regards Geebee
