My point is Marky you had someone elses bike and whilst I doubt if Sherco's are faultless is a bit subjective to say your problems which may be down to lots of things, would always put you off the make, possibly?

What bike was Steve on?

Mark, was the 01 250 yours from new?

Whatever. Sour grapes I detect as yours is still undergoing 100hours endurance testing, guess it will be a little secondhand when big when you get it, marky.

Is it here?

Well, I think the general consensus would have been well done montesa if wayne and james had ridden production bikes and finished. The Sherco 4t is a mystery, my guess is they are waiting to see what the 4rt is like and if the demand is great enough to warrant the competition/production costs. The info I got was it is ready to go but the decision hasn't been made to go with it yet, they must have their reasons.

I think you are going through the process I have been through a few times, and it can defy logic sometimes. The spokes are not leaking its the rimtape. Best explaination is on Wayne Thais's web pages at shercomoto.com. Bsically make sure the tape is spot on and fill her up with 60psi and leave overnight and the tape is bedded in. i have had a tape leak at low pressure, and the rim I have now is badly welded butit seems to be holding. Have had to get a new tape once or twice. 2 rings the smaller is from top fun and more spongy and elastic the second I bought in spain and has had 2" off, stiffer and popped out as you described, before modification.

Well said.

Right round to munch workshop me thinks...........

Decided to put a new(longer) hose on the clutch, is it difficult to bleed the clutch? Have done brakes with a syringe ok but is the clutch as easy?

Does anyone know where I can get ngk bp5evx plugs from?

Yep Mo Bird, father of steve bird used to post on here as Birdy, one time minder of crosser and Jarvis .

Use tyre soap and 60 psi

I don't think you were the first with the hots for Katy now were you richard?

Is there? Who might that be?

Guess its been a while, no news yet then?

OK the french have faults, just like geordies, but the engine is Japanese, forks Italian, etc etc.I have seen plenty of fine looking Scorpas, new and secondhand so le ts not have this myopic prejudiced opinion getting in the way of subjective reason, shall we?

Scooby doo to you too.

Absolutely, so Montesa can release the 4rt to the buying public asap then?

Looks remarkable like the one I photographed in spain in september, so if that's yours Marky its very secondhand!

I think he is in rehab at the moment.

Bit like you at the moment! Are you going to the Scott to see what your bike will be like when, big when, it comes?

Didn't Manuel Soler where glasses?

TMX seems to confirm this week that its only Amos on the 4rt.

and he does it on Dunlop tyres as well.........
