Here is the real thing! This one makes ME proud to be British!

Nuts!

Why would you want to do this?

Good job then! Any idea what caused it? Top end could be done later if need be, depends upon the budjet. Many times a proper hone job and next size piston will clean things up nicely as compared to a re-plate on the things!

I hate trying to use arisols when one is that grunged up. One can waste a lot just trying to blast away, not to mention the splaater! A small(covered) tin with acetone, MEK, or laquer thinner and a good soak should soften things up. Even fresh fuel can help. Gloves!!!!!

Me thinks someone has deleted me instructional directions here.

He will screw himself on a gasser! Needs to wait for one of them Orange Scorps/ Sherco 250's!

Typacally,good signage such as dog and alarm warnings go a long way. Most thieves are cheap quick hit artists for the easy prey and dislike those things! And will avoid them! A simple system of a loud siren can easily be made, even using battries and a few microswitches. Loud noises they do not like, and can be much more effective than the single shot blast. That may not wake me! It gets more exotic when you buy wired or wireless magnetic switches, yet the principal is the same.

Good on Just for offering up! This may be a match made in heaven! Julie will figure it out soon enough, coming home beaten and drunk!

Lookie Sweet!

Hugo, to be honest, I sould come closer to reading that if in Spanish!!! Totally useless to me, not that I do not appreciate the input. It would be nice if you could translate the words to identify the items.

Current plans are for TTC, no pressure! Ryan should have something there. I hope?

I doubt you own a drill that size! No less anything to drive it!

I'm gonna remember that when you get Josh into college and are riding a XT 225 Serow to work, in a foot of snow, to save gas money, like me! Do you have any old leaky bottles of Yamalube you don't want? I sold enough cans today to buy high octane gas for the Sherco!

Yea, in the yard! You know that rock you were going over, I got one in my neighbors front yard! Accross the street! I am still scared of the fireplug!

That is interisting, and I suspected as much although unable to verify myself. The clutch on the Sherco is made by Sureflex. I suspect the Betas may use similar springs as well, but once again have not been able to get any specs on them. Objective being to come up with a spring set that is evenly proportioned (all 6) yet about 20-25% lighter than the stockers, yet more than the -2 setup at 33% less. Mind you the spring force in itself has only a relative effect upon the progression and feel. Add the ability of squeezing out the oil separation between the plates. As an addundum to my bead blasting experiment, I did another thing which is more directed towards the plate sticking thing after sitting. As this thing came from another poster and friend on here, and as I had it all apart anyway. Taking the sharp jewlers file and scribing a light " / " diagonal groove into each pad on each friction plate. This as well can help oil entry and exit, yet is a real pain in the ass as well. This done as an added thing to the Dan Williams mods as well. Pile all this up, and one can waste his day off, as it takes time, yet at the same time, mine seems to work as well as anything I can recall, even with the 4 springs only, and still light as a feather. Lots of work!

We really do need to make a list and pin it!

Q. What do you do if your girlfriend starts smoking? - - - - - - -- - - -- - - - A. Slow down and use some lubricant.

Learning to do these is a bit of an art! Lots of proper lube and well seated with no punctures is the key! Works every time(mostly)! Practice!

Bob, yes the micro finish would be more like a golf ball using glass bead. Much smoother than the "sand" blast(sand has a sharp crystilene structure). Many machine shops, or aircraft shops have these proper blasting cabinets set- up, or can change from sand to glass bead media in minutes. I doubt the Mont or Beta parts would interchange.

All the service manuals pinned at the top of this Sherco thread are still applicable for most anything through '09!

That Zippy is just a traction machine! Does he wear the white just so the blood stains are more dramatic?

This will only give limited results(nil) as you cannot space them out far enough due to clearances. Exmple, if you have a 5 N/mm spring running height of 28mm of compression = 140 N . Multiply by 6 springs in the pack = 840N of pressure. Reduce each spring preload by 1mm washer and you have reduced the pack by 30N, or less than 3% Obviously the -2 spring setup results in a 33% reduction of applied force. I have run the -2 setup on the 2T with light oil for the last couple years, and like it for my light usage, yet all this may spell trouble for the 4T with its heavy power pulses and such, and needing the thicker oil. I will tell you one thing I recently did as experiment was to glass bead all the metal plates, which slightly roughens their polished surfaces. Thusfar, the progression has been supurb and with no slippage even with 4 springs. Time will tell just how long all this lasts, but for now it seems near perfectly light and responsive. Test pilots?

These issues can be difficult. Was there any warning? Stators may go, but seems many report odd running. Not to say that any electricals can pack in anytime. Do you have any mates that could assist in letting you try their coil/ign. unit? Splatshop has some Ohm readings posted online that you could use to test things. Not quite sure the validity of any static readings though really. As functunally they may not work still!
