Answer to your question, NO! Th cableties are about as good as you get for insurance, still iffy. As the stickers cost as mush as anythin, just run without till you get more steady it it, or like me, buy a spare! Murphy's law, never need it!

I would guess Louise came for a nice visit. So is Brent kicking big brothers butt? Good'uns there! Miss them over here.

Oh well, awoke this morning to about half a foot of snow on the ground. Flurries my ass! That is about twice the normal annual snowfall here in mid winter. So much for the 24hr prog charts, went to work on the plane, some went for a State Series round this weekend, god help them.

Wayne, maybe you can have one of them heavy springs made for Ronnies Birthday present!

Ok, well if you remove the bowl and turn the carb body upside down, the float arms should basically be near parallel with the bowl surface or pointing upward very slightly. The distance from the bowl surface to the point where the pin on the float contacts the arm is 18.5mm or probably 19mm if measured to the tip of the arms. The brass thing that the needle with the rubber tip on it goes into is the seat, and should have a number stamped innto it. Mine says 250. May want to upgrade it if not at least that spec. 15quid from eurocarbs.Course if your needle is stick in the seat in the closed position, you may want to replace it anyway, as they come together as a set. This is the thing that allows fuel to flow into the bowl at a given rate., and also the thing I cannot recall what number they were using for high load road based trials such as the Scottish. Never an issue for me with the 250, but I do not do roadwork with it. Those lads do run with choke on at high speeds though as I understand. Keeps things running cooler at speed with the added enrichment.

Well the 30 pilot explains why the bike is weak off the bottom. There is a mod to increase the size of the float valve for heavy road running and such. Sound as though you are running the bowl out of fuel. The floats should be LEVEL, by the way. You did clean the banjo screen? Where is Baldilocks when you need him?

Zippy, if youm search the enternet, you can find those suuperconducting magnates that fit round your balls and give you the power you need to finish the movie! Keep them away from the kids!

The Olle shocker is in from new.

This IS the Sherco forum, possibly you could add something constructive to another of Your liking! I see you are are on an '07 Gasser, so hopefully your pegs have not separated from the frame! Cheers, now p*** off!

Hmmm, very interisting, must be fairly low pressure. I cannot really get my head around the workings from the pics. You see, this is the type of thing you cannot find folks to do sometimes, takes too much time! How they do it in production? No idea! It does kinda p*** me off they make them that way that is hard to fix, yet the earlier models did seem to hold up well. The ones on the '06 seemed crap, but my '07 seem to be holding-toutch wood! Hope it holds, if nothing else, you can re-do it now. Maybe you will have others that need it, get rich and retire young!

I feel suddenly reassured about tomorrows weather forcast now! 2C, winds NW at 20-35G, Flurries! Lets stay home and crack a few atoms, wtf! For what? Who cares? Pays the bills!

A Sherco always offers the top balance between weight, reliability and performance.

Good job on that then! What all did you have to do as far as de-pressure and re charging the thing?

Are your rocker shafts fully inserted?

Cannot tell anything special here, normal maintenance stuff. After over three years on mine, biggest concern currently is the expansiion of the fuel tank. Mine is getting critical. Same issue on earlier models though. The '07 is a good bike in my book, yet all depends upon condition.

Good call Dave, might just ck the tank vent hose flows and not restricted as well. The '02 2.9's were pretty aggressive out of the box. Many have had the stator plate re-set(timing retarded) and yours could be one. Worth a ckeck, as if set back too far they will not run properly.

I am not sure exactly where you get a proper one, other than RYP, maybe gasgas is the same. They are fairly expensive as I recall. I ordered a generic cheap one fron lewisport, but could not make it work out. Mine still works, but I doubt I will mess with these any longer. The rimbands with integrated stem seem the way to go. Tryals Shop has them, not sure whom else. Bout the same cost!

I will hide now!

That's the one! Just for Gizza! I was talking to one of my old friends over the weekend, Author, who is an old German immigrant and owns a Mercedes shop here and worked for the factory at one point. He is quite a character, with a HEAVY accent! We were comparing notes on some of the rediculous price of some of the Merc crap. He had a car they wanted $50,000 for a new motor! Then he looks up to me with sudden surprize perfect english and says " Hitler is still alive , you know! Friggin Ba----d"

Never had a problem using a beader. It always applies enough pressure to keep the underside against the rim while sealing the top enough untill the actual tire hits the rim enough to seal. Be sure the valve core is out of the stem so you can flow enough air volume to make things happen! Good compressed air supply! Lots of proper lube on the beads and beader! Once the sides of the tire hit the inner sides of the rim, the beader should pop out and the tire take by itself and continue to inflate untill the beads pop and lock on the lips.

You are supposed to take the original measure with the pucks in situ, cam lobes pointed opposite the following arms! Sounds as thou you have removed them, then measured? These clearances seem just too far out of range, and the motor would sound like a thrasher! Re install pucks and start over.

Sweet!

Thank you BS, i was trying to figure how to post so nicely. His excess oil does go somewhere! There is no"right" oil. I have run 100:1 with no problem as well! Oil "lingers" in the motor(and exhaust) and must be cleaned out. Less an issue with high revving bikes, crap on a trials bike!

Where did that clip go about Hitlers Motorbike? Soo good!
