Oh great , thanks chris ..... Now I want that 290 you have If it still available in a month or two , I might treet myself t an early saint paddy's day gift

THAT is the kind of info that good see me buying another bike ..... All I could find was NorCal and oregon/Washington areas . Tell me more please !!!

I'm in Orange County , Southern California . Ill try that website , but I had a quick look and couldn't find any clubs local . Thanks for the help Ian

No !! In almost all circumstances , a sherco is far more capable than its rider I'm just in a place where my other hobbies take priority over what LITTLE time I have , and the cash used on buying a bike and a truck to move it are better spent elsewhere . Not bringing a bike with me when I emigrated from England was a mistake .

I've come to the realization ill never ride a sherco again . So I've put some of my old sherco clothing on eBay . Where else us good to sell things like this ?

you got mail !!

vent pipe should be looped over the carb inlet , if you just leave it hanging low it will spew your oil out . my first experience of "fixing" my sherco ....... pity it was my stupidity that caused the problem in the first place

thanks for the warm welcomes !!! i was in oc about 1 month ago . bought me a car , and did some driving on the wrong side of the road !!! thought i would be there by now , but im having trouble finding a company to sponsor me on the work visa form

It won't. in the oc its cold and drizzly today !!! trials weather !! I don't know about that, I live right in the middle of orange county, and oc and rain don't really hangout anymore maybe it was just another made up reason for her to have a moan at me on the fone again ??

email sent . bike being picked up by its new owner in one hour ... just enough time to remove my carbon bits , and cry a little

Steve, I'm not sure I'm following your contradictory statements. You claim that a 10-year-old bike is as good as new for most of us. But, your Sherco 4T makes you a better rider. I can't say my '07 4RT makes me a better rider than my professionally maintained '98 315R, but I can tell you that I perform better in sections and practice on the 4RT. Given that, it seems the new technology trumps the old, as I'm the same guy I was a few months ago (only older). However, the 4RT does give me confidence to try more difficult obstacles. Much of that confidence comes from the reliability of power delivery that EFI offers, compared to a 4T with a carb (been there, coughed that). Does confidence = skill? There's an interesting discussion right there. i hear what youre both saying !!! the last bike i owned was a 1986 ty 175 twinshock . so now i started riding again , im on technology nearer 20 years than 10 , but i guess things havent changed that much in my ability !! most noticeable thing is the smoothness of the sherco ride . but id even go as far as to say , in some ways , the 2003 sherco 250 is TOO similar to my old 86 when i used to imagine doing a small jump on the ty , it was smooth and shock free on landing ............... getting on the bike and doing the jump jolted me back to reality !!! whereas on the newer bike , its just like i imagine the landing to be !! (if you can make sense of that statement ) due to the better modern suspension , its less tiring to ride , but apart from that , id say ( at my level of ability ) my "modern " sherco is just as hard to ride as my old ty , and hasnt improved my terrible riding !! if i upgraded to the latest most powerfull sherco , all spectators would have to take 10 strides backwards

It wasn't about whacking it wide open. You're right. No one I know does that and it would be a pointless test. guess i should change my riding style then !!!!

i have pictures of clice jacket , send me your email address and i can send them . i paid 30.00 for jacket , and have never been out in it .

It won't. in the oc its cold and drizzly today !!! trials weather !!

i will be moving to orange county area . but its too late !!!! i allready agreed to sell the bike to a friend on easy pay terms so it looks like the upgrade is back on !!! ANYONE WANNA BUY A CLICE TRIALS JACKET ?? i'm keeping the factory team jacket , just in case the manchester rain follows me over

moving to south california , and i have a shipping container going over from uk . so ............................ should i put my 03 250 in it ? or is it better to sell sherco in uk , then buy another in california ?? any us based guys care to offer opinions on prices and availability on sherco in usa ?? so you know , i would be selling bike in uk for 1000 . so would have about $2000 when i got to us . could i buy similar bike for that ammount ?

the ebay guy never paid , so i still got my old one at present . now i hear theres a new caby ............. think i might save up a bit more .

thats cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is all the red something to do with the ONandOFF sponsorship ?

my bike and the nephews beta sold today , so cabby upgrade is definately going ahead . maybe i shouldnt use the same oil in the 290 until i get used to it

trialscast or jitsie snails ??

i only decided on the cabby because you told me to !!!!! no , the real reason is ........., the cost difference between upgrading parts on my bike to make me a much better rider , is more than the cost of selling my bike and buying a newer one with better suspension !! the caby is cheaper than a 2007 , so thats how i came to my illogical conclusion !!! ideally , sherco should have made a 250 cabby , with chrome frame and 2005 graphix ........ then i wouldnt have to modify at all !!!

maybe you can make more sense of this than i can !!!! Typical Properties Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF Viscosity, ASTM D 445 cSt @ 40

power steering fluid Now that's a new one! uhh !!! i thought everyone used it !!!!

i'm 80:1 i think !!! i worked it out when i first got the bike , and got a tablet bottle from the chemist . 1 bottle of oil to 4litres of petrol handy to have a fiver and a bottle of oil in my pocket when i go on a sunday tour !!!
