Happy Holidays!
Actually it does go a bit deeper than that, Stevo! You see the Dabster is a generous sort when he is feeling good. Santa comes to mind! And it seems there were some of these beaders that managed to escape the UK! Charlie remembers as well , it seems. He is always up un his stuff, you know! Probably doing some p***ing about Beta's bout now, I would guess!

Do I Take Electrics Off Before Welding Frame?
You would be best advised to disconnect the wireing from the magneto and pull the ignition unit(coil box) before doing so, as just cheap insurance. A close ground to the weld point would be advisable as well. This way you should have no problems with stray voltages.

No! Not that it would get you to buy one as you are a self admitted tightwad of the highest order rivaling a few other Northerners from this forum! Northern WHAT matters little! Any Scottish blood, Zipper?

03 Sherco 200 Carburation Problem?
Still sounds like the carby. You might double ckeck for water entry(again). Where there is smoke, there may be more smoke(water). But when you clean these things, it seems best to use carby spray or brake cleaner, then blow backwards through the circuits using compressed air, specially the two small holes in the bore. This means jets out with a fine wire passed through, fuel screw out as well when doing it. As the finest particle can screw you and you may never see it! Yet all said, you should be able to eat off any part of it when done! Hope that helps, MC

Exhaust Clearing
There are a number of methods and opinions vary, but the standard case would be to run it hard down the road for a bit to get some heat in the muff so things will move. You might notice an eccess of smoke as things are heatinh up in the muff and both burning off and hot enough to melt and flow out on their own. As the 125's have only half the volume per rev, not as much exhaust heat is created to keep things such as the oily residue flowing and expelled. Thus you ket the kids in the know running them hard to keep them clean. Several "last retorts" include flushing the muff with solvents in order to break it up. Hope you are using a fully or seni synthetc oil!

Other Things!
An updated pic as of today. This a 150, the Volkswagon of aircraft, yet will still make about 120 mph with two aboard. Creature comforts include a real electrical system, full set of basic instruments and radio, including moving map GPS navigation, and a heater. So stereo ipod on the headsets! Wow! If I were to put a trials bike in it, I would have to remove the passenger seat and kram it in, much like the Miata! It is possible!

Rattling Good Sherco
I am totally unsure because I cannot hear it, but are you sure it is not the ping(pink)ing going on? In my '03 bike I ran the 33 pilot jet, later in the '05 I ran the 35, and even though I ran the '07 on the 36, the noise in the range you are referring to(1/8-1/2)light load as on the loop, would not go away, till I finally went to the #38. I attribute most this to fuel issues, yet here, seems the alcohol induced(oxigenated) fuel is about all we can get!

Help Ty250 Mono
Sounds as though it will get you a start. I ran the 45/125 setup on the Sherco. Much depends upon just how she runs. You will need to play with the idle and airscrew, but mostly those carbs seem to like somewhere in the .5- 2.5 turn out range on the screw with 1.5 being close to optimum within its range of operation. So if you are beyond that to make it run well at and off idle, you might change pilot jet accordingly. Once you dial it in the range, a + or - for the conditions at hand will do.

2008 Favorite Photo
If the last time I seen him in October was any indication, Pat was on stride and anticipating a challenge in the Juniors! He has a lot of skill, and it is good to hear he is getting some time in at TTC as well! Seems he likes the big bike! This is a tough class for sure, yet Pat has the stuff! Get out and ride! You will do well!

Canon Eos 1000d/rebel Xs Or Sony Alpha A200
Not sure what these things cost, nor the size of the camera, but I have been happy with the Nikon D 40 as an entry level camera for dslr and now they have been out for awile can be had on the cheap if you do some shopping! Small and lively! You will pay for features, be your own judge!

Ok Ok Ok, I shall tell a bit of thought! Firstly, it is obvious that the bike is not entirely chineese! The roumour was 30% and many of the hard parts were coming from the same suppliers as others. I do find it a bit of a miff about the e-mail thing, yet on the flip side of the same coin, I do support this site with my annual pittance, and encourage others to do the same. It does cost money you know, of which none here retain anything. It was roumoured early on that I myself might become the US importer for Xispa, this was joking, purely! I think the UK importer will have enough of a challenge on his hands getting going and a little slack might be due and negotiated! We are not talking about the factory here, but he too would be well advised to support things if possible. And secondly,(did I miss something) I would never want to let anyone think I was being accusational or accusatory, just because I gave someone the only ruffing they took all week! Just because I had a drink! Cheers, MC

09 3.2 4t Owners
Judging from my brief ride in Ok, the rear suspenseion felt really good on the '09 and Ryan said there were some changes in the delta link. I would think the 4T would be really sweet for you.

She is not scared for sure. We had a 6-7 foot splatter in a section in TN that she did well while several others failed!

Oh my gosh, that is funny! I do the same thing! Always Dabster comes to mind! Hey Charlie, I got this great little boogie riff in my head! "You never know where that thing has been, but you can always lube it up again!----OOOOOhhh, my Yomeeeeeee!" "When you think your tire's going flat, you can fix it again just using that!----OOOOOhhh, my Yomeeeeeeee!" "Even after Dabsters had a spin, I'll do it all over again and again!----OOOOOhhh, my Yomeeeeeee!" "Just lube it up and let it slide and before you know it, you can ride----OOOOOhhh, my Yomeeeeeeee!" I haf to friggn stop now!!!!!!!!!!! But NO! "Merry Christmas Baby!!!!!!!!!!! I got a looooong way to go!" "When Santa came down the chimney, at half past three, what did he have for my baby and me!---OOOOOhhh, my Yomeeeeeee!" "You can use it on the left, or use it on the right, you can use it when Dabster is nowhere in sight!---- OOOOOhhh, my Yomeeeeee!" I really do need to stop now! Merry Christmas Baby!
