  1. hi everyone. i going to looking at two shercos tomorrow a 125 and a 200. im just starting out and brought a 290 but its too powerful for me.

    so should i go for and 125 0r 200?

    im 5,10 and only 11 stone age 43?

    what would you do?

  2. hi i have recently got a sherco 290 2004, i doing ok with it but as a complete beginner im have problems with the power and im always fighting it. i have changed the throttle and timing. i think i have started with a bike that scares the life out of me! another problem is i only weigh 11 stone although im 5ft 10 tall i have problems starting it!

    the question is, do i sell it and get a sherco 125 to start and maybe move back up again when i have more confidence.

    what you think?

    ps. i have also been told it has slight piston slap and if i get it fixed it will have even more power?

  3. I need help! I have sherco 290 2004 and went out on first trial last weekend and my bike started fine after about 3 kicks with no throttle, then when i stopped it at each section it was about 10 kicks before it went again!

    i then stopped for lunch and it wouldn't start at all until some guy helped me by turning the fuel off then kicked it few times then put fuel back on and gave it some choke and it started! he said he thought the mixture was not right but i cant remember if he said it was to rich or to dry? and which way i should turn the screw? and which screw?

    So has anyone got idea what could be happening?

    i kept the bike running all afternoon and only gave one dab away! hence love the sport and bike apart from killing myself trying to start the blooming thing!

    Help please!!!!

  4. hi im having nearly the same problems. mine is very hard to start then i read on tc that i was to use no throttle and it now starts about 3rd kick will not start after i stop it at each section and when i stopped for lunch i couldn't start it? i ahve read somewhere it could be the mixture screw? any one got any ideas?

  8. just brought a sherco 290 and have read lot of different advise oil ratios, i have just been down to local mx shop (no trials shops where i live) and they have sold me putoline mx7 100% fully synthetic 2 stroke oil.
