Guy Martin was born in and lives in Lincolnshire.

It was done about 20 years ago by a guy (Think it was Wilson??) who built replacement frames for Bultaco Sherpa's.

Sound a bit like carb problems. I noticed Copemech was thinking the same as well. Looking at your original post you mentioned that everything was fine until you changed your air filter. Could some filter fibres or dirt have been sucked in to the pilot circuit of the carb. Have you taken out the pilot jet and blown compressed air through the jets and drillings of the carb. Also is the choke on the carb seating properly when off.

Mine starts with VBNS as well, also a Sherco 290 07. Picked it up new and I was checking the frame numbers with the V5 sent in the post . Phoned my dealer and he said that all Sherco's start VNBS, even Rathmells wouldnt believe me at first but they sent a new V5 when I took my bike back to show the dealer. I think my comment at the time was "Now do you bl**dy believe me!

Link. This is for 04 but 07 is the same. Try Wayne's help.

I'm sure the 07 tanks were 3 litres capacity, 06 about 2.5 litres.

Might be "North Yorkshire Lad"

Looks like the pictures of your bike escaped Andy's censorship!

Or her collar and cuffs don't match!!

Anybody care to translate please.

Careful how you load that Sherco there Copemech!

Well done trialsgirl, do you really think the bike will last 8001 years until 1010!

Wayne, should n't you have asked questions first then ordered the bike? sounds like self doubts creeping in about the 09 320 4t?

A farmer went out one day and bought a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop. The new rooster struts over to Kenny the old rooster and says, 'OK old fart, time for you to retire.' Kenny the old rooster replies, 'Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of these chickens. Look what it has done to me. Can't you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?' The young rooster says, 'Beat it: You are washed up And I am taking over.' The old rooster says, 'I tell you what, young stud. I will race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop.' The young rooster laughs. 'You know you don't stand a chance, old man. So, just to be fair, I will give you a head start.' Kenny the old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off running after him. They run round the front porch of the farmhouse and the young rooster has closed the gap. He is only about 5 feet behind the old rooster and gaining fast. The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch. When he sees the roosters running past, Kenny the Old Rooster is squawking and running as hard as he can. The Farmer grabs his shotgun and - BOOM - He blows the young rooster to bits. The farmer sadly shakes his head and says, 'Dammit.....Third gay rooster I bought this month.'

It was Postman Pat's last day on the job after 35 years of carrying the post through all kinds of weather to the same neighbourhood. When he arrived at the first house on his route, he was greeted by the whole family there, who all hugged and congratulated him and sent him on his way with a gift cheque for

Sloppy seconds!!! Can't believe you've just said that.

Copemech, I think it is Castrol TQF and it is their ATF. I

Thought they were Bultaco's in 98 and 99 and changed to Sherco in 2000!

Cheers Borus, just done the maths! Every year they print the same old figures don't they. So to downsize from a 290 to a 250 is it simply a barrel, head and piston change then.

Almost sure they are different bore and strokes on the 250 and 290.

Some great pictures Wetfeet, that one of no 34 diving for a fish at Orgate is just a photographers dream.

Six trail bike lads at Bye-Pass yesterday certainly got the message that they were not welcome off-road following the course. Bl**dy idiots were actually riding the course up from the road and had got to Bye-Pass 1 before Deputy Sherif Perce tracked em down and rounded em up and got rid of them. WELL DONE PERCE!

Morning Bikespace, from memory Rock House would not an easy place for C-class riders to get around and not even sure if there is a C-class. As the name suggests it's full of rocks.
