I would definitely recommend bigger handler add, I used to have 6inch rise handlebars but found the riding position was a bit more unnatural so now use 5.5 which are still quite a bit higher than the normal.
I would also look at a triple clamp that you can adjust the position of the handlebars, moving them forward will give you more room. Other than that I’d definitely look at stiffer suspension springs front and back, if you’re tall you’re likely heavy and stiffing the suspension will make the bike ride better.
You might want to pull the primary drive and have a look to see if something is interfering with the clutch basket. Typically a loose muffler core won’r make the bike vibrate.
Thank's Dan, i've edited it and will take a look (Y).
I’ve got a 2019, 300 and over the past few weekends of riding have been noticing a strange noise coming from the bike.
At first it was barely noticeable but it’s gradually got worse, I’ve done a complete bolt check and everything is tight and it doesn't seem to be internal within the engine.
As the sound has got worse the bike has started to vibrate quite badly especially when revved (frustratingly it’s not clear where it’s coming from), I’ve had a look at a few other forums and I’m wondering if it could be the baffle inside the exhaust.
Had my 17 for a few months really love the bike, just wondering if anyone has had any experience keeping the airbox clean. I don't ride in particularly rough or wet conditions.but every time I change the filter I have to take the airbox off and clean out all the mud / water it's a pain in the a*** !
My 2016 Sherco was running sweet ( after ditching the Dunlop tyre ) rode my first trial on it Sunday and it was fine for 95% of the trial. Last two sections it started to die on my it quickly fired straight back up, I didn't think anything of it at the time probably just a bit of debris in the card. It fired up I rode the last section and the stuck it back in the van.
I cleaned out the carb blew all the hoses through with a high pressure air gun. I also empties the tank out and changed the spark plug as a token gesture. I took it out practicing today and the stalling got progressively worse, it currently runs for a minute or two then just cuts out intermittently.
Has anyone seen or heard of anything like this before ?
Had my 16 Sherco delivered today, couldn't stop myself taking the afternoon off work to go for a ride. After about 40 minutes the tyre came off the rim, after s few choice words took the bike home and popped the tyre back on the rim with the compressor took it back out and it went flat again after about 15 minutes ? I then pumped it up so it was rock solid and managed to ride for 20 minutes without it going down ( which is fine but obviously not ideal for trials)
Is it possible the tire is slipping of so what's the best way to fix it ?
I've not ridden trials for the past 5 years and I gather things have moved on a lot. I need some advice as to what bike to buy now I know it obviously comes down to rider preference BUT after being out of touch with the sport i've got a few key questions.
1 Gas gas gave gone bust is it easy enough to still get spares for Gas gas's ?
2 There is a 2015 Joto gas for sale how sustainable is the brand ? Are they around for the long haul / are the bikes reliable ?
Just looking to some experienced heads for a bit of input >

It looks very much like a 2003
