Are you sure the carb or radiator did not leak onto it? Just lookin` it seems ok. Just keep an eye on it.

I would pull it apart before you start replacing parts. The sherco has a piece that mounts to the end of the shift drum. This has roll pins for the shifter actuating arm to catch to rotate the drum. I would inspect this closely before anything else.

As much as you ride, change it once a month. Does everyone run H1R? It really does not burn real clean. 80;1 would help.

I understand that it sounds like fuel. I have seen several bikes with poor connections at the cdi. Make sure all the pins are pulled out in the proper placement at all the plugs in the wiring harness. Would hate to think you are chasing the wrong problem.

Here you go Cope, Pampa, Texas State Round 1999.

Yes, the early box was steel. I do like Jon`s idea of brake fluid as an alternative. But a torch will burn all deposits away. Dangerous and messy yes, but so is most methods.

Glenn, the funny thing about K&N`s. They were invented in Albuquerque and made in the back room of the local Yamaha shop I used to work at ! Small world. It was actually a male nurse (motorcycle enthusiast) that came up with the gauze idea! Quote; Many of you may of known Red Daley personally or through his motorcycle background with K&N Yamaha either in Riverside, California or in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Or from his Daley's Speed Shop business, from racing, engine building, machinist, welder. Or from the annual Charlie Frazier Motorcycle Gathering. Red helped a number of AMA GNC riders, including Mike Kidd. Red, Norm McDonald and Mike Kidd at the Astrodome. Kidd writes: "Red, Norm and I made a great team, taking second at our first national together at the Astrodome in '72" His accomplishments, inventions, innovations, and contributions to the Motorcycle Racing world are too numerous to list here. Among the major ones is the development of the K&N Air Filter, from infancy. Norm and Lucy purchased the first equipment and design from a mechanic who worked out of the back of the Albuquerque, New Mexico Bobby J's Yamaha shop. K&N Performance Products took the mock up product, and made it into the filter we all knew of or owned. Kenny, Norm and Red worked together to construct the first marketable K&N filter, with Red working on the vulcanize process for the connectors and end caps. To me Red was my business partner in race promotions, sponsor, engine machinist, performance guru, second father, and most of all one of my best friends. Red passed away Thursday from natural causes at Tulsa Regional OSU Hospital in Tulsa. Quote; Some interesting history. Bob

You are about halfway there. Towards the end is a bunch of noobs that can`t see the light of day with real world jetting. Being you have already fixed the carb , it becomes pretty laughable that people insist on jetting wrong

I would replace the condenser again and check the grounds.

You turn by footpeg pressure. As in all turns body position is important.

Lots and lots of practice. It is best to ride with someone much better than you to push your limits, Only extremely great riders pull off the 360 at will. Good Luck.

First to third if riding within a section.

Cope, you ever ride the logs in Pampa. That is where I `had` to learn to ride air logs!

Some Sherco`s seem to rest on the disc guard. I remember a rider installing a new guard at a trials. Just as soon as he kicked up the side stand the `new` guard broke instantly.

I would just call speed and sport in CA. There is nothing magical in springs for an old Bul.

You are likely missing the guard that it stops against.

It`s all a matter of timing. At your age (I think we are about the same) fun is more important. Take a step back, maybe vintage would be better. Back to the question, you have to be 100% in the mind before attempting any obstacle. Sounds like you are getting no lift before the obstacle. The transition to weighting the back is very important. Get someone to take video (Son) to see what you are doing wrong. Good luck Charlie!

Maybe I should recommend some used formulas . The 2012 de-bacle of brakes was no better. The poster was banging the brand instead of looking for help. After all the poor B--st--ds that delt with the GASSER and Sherco problems in 2012.

Thanks for that Steve!

Try this, Chris. http://www.trialscen...ced-for-better/

When a bike is new or your brakes are not working. You run up and down the road getting the brake nice and hot and throw a bucket of water on them. One brake at a time. works a treat. I saw a world champ doing this on a brand new bike is how I `learned` the trick.

I think you need a better mechanic. The beta`s used to have the worst brakes thru 1999. Since the rev 3 came out they have been fine.

Blocky had the best advise without being there. If you are running 5 or less, two things will happen. You will be worn out sooner and have a flat. It would have to be real wet to be down to 5.
