    2000 Sherco 2.9

    zippy replied to zippy's topic in Sherco

    Thank you to every one for your great ideas. I think I will try the 1/4x28 bolt first, (it just sounds easier to me) and then probably the thread making stuff. The stud being JB welded in place and then using a nut sounds really good, but I have not had very good luck with JB weld in the past. I think it is probably the way I used it, not necessarily the product.

    VETO!! The skid plate may make that noise. I have noticed a "scraping, Clunking" type noise if I am sitting on the skid plate on a log or rock and rocking back and forth. I may take you up on the offer to weld the mounting point for the skid plate, and the skid plate has a small crack. But gotta wait at least 2 weeks then the season is done.

    Thank you for your advice, I am going to think on whether to use the helicoil or the glue type stuff. Maybe I can convince my bank account that I just gotta have a whole new set of forks. Yea that'll never happen. "whoever set up this section obviously thinks I ride better than I really do."

    2000 Sherco 2.9

    zippy posted a topic in Sherco

    I recently purchased a 2000 Sherco 2.9. I love the bike but have to fix a couple of things. One of the holes for the front axle pinch bolts is stripped out. Has anyone tried to drill and tap one of these holes in the forks, or should I use a helicoil? The weld on the rear skid plate mount on the left side of the bike is cracked, and the skid plate has a small crack near the radius of the plate. How common are these cracks? "obviously whoevever set up these sections thinks I ride better than I do."

    Bikespace, You won't get any complaints from us thick people in the U.S. ,(we know who we are) we can't yell loud enough to get it to carry over the pond. "Obviously whoever set up these sections thinks I ride better than I really do."

    I too agree that seeing all the 05's cycled through would be a good idea. Isn't the Sherco 4t basically an 05 2.9 with a 4-stroke stuffed in the frame instead of the 2.9 motor? Did the Mont get a total ground up design?

    I am new to the forum and would like to say HI. I am somewhat of a large guy (230 pounds) and I have a 95 Fantic section that I used to ride before getting the much better 2000 Sherco 2.9. The preload spring was set right up to the top of the threads. It seems to be performing just fine.
