Its all about the body positioning. Keep your toes up, this will help keep your weight back. Try to get as much momentum and drive at base of the climb as the section allows, using the tallest gear the bike will pull.

If you have play, I would check the heim? (not sure of spelling) joint at each end of the shock. If the bolts and bearings are in good order, and tightened up, there should be very little play in the linkage.

I have a print of a stand I designed, it is not a lift stand however. If you email me, I can send you a file of it in autocad or mastercam.

I'd bet he doesn't win one event next year.

Yes, that's exactly what I have to do now...

I have an 06 2.9 Sherco. The bike runs fantastic at all throttle settings. My only concern is when cold starting, with the choke on, the bike revs really high. I'm not overly concerned except I don't like to rev a cold bike this hard. I have stripped and cleaned the carb several times, checked the o ring on top of the choke tube, slide tower, etc. I even tried spraying starting fluid all around the carb and intake boot to check for an air leak, but haven't found anything out of the ordinary. I spoke to RYP about this, they said some Shercos do it and others don't. I can live with it, but if I can fix it, I would like to.

Good idea about the later start on Saturday. Last year we pulled in at 10:40, just in time for the rider's meeting!

We went last year, (we're from Pa.) and it was a great event. We would have come up again this year, however it conflicted with our last event. Hopefully we can make it next year if its a two day event. It takes us about 5 hours to get there.

Did you check the O ring under the plastic cap on top of the carb?

The nice thing about Motorama is the other events. They bring the people in, and then we get some spillover from those events, thus getting needed exposure.

I don't know the actual numbers, but I believe they paid for expenses and possibly a small amount more.

We were recently informed there will be no trials at Motorama next year. Apparently, the Motorama organization wants us to pay $10,000 to use the area.

Put them all on stock bikes and let the cream rise to the top.

Is it magnesium?

Why not go with titanium?

4) Minature steam engines

I prefer the suzuki factory bend. They are nearly the same bends as tomaselli bars, but 3/4" lower. If you use fatbar adapters they make up the difference.

No we didn't make it up. 4 hour drive for a one day event was a bit much with gas prices and all. (We're from central PA) We may make the NETA 2 day event in October.

Thanks Jim! We just might make it although it is a 4 hour trip. There's an event in Connecticut, but your event is a bit closer.

A couple of guys were thinking of going up north to the event at Phoenicia, what kind of terrain is there? What time does the event start. The AMA mag says 10 AM.

Depending on the size of the logs, we like to ride up the sawed ends. If they aren't high enough, we put something under them. It is a good idea to square off the top edge. You can place them end to end with a gap in the middle, I have also seen them placed end to end on an incline with a gap in the middle.

My 05 Beta worked best with plain old Castrol GTX 10-30. Never could tell a difference as compared to the expensive stuff. However, I did try some ATF and when it got hot the clutch slipped badly.

Took the chain tensioner off to grease it and Wow! it was a real Bi$^&! to get back on. Anyway, I had to put the spring on upside down and work it around into position. Anyone come up with a better way?

Go to www.rypusa.com And look up the parts book under sherco. There is a breakdown of all the suspension parts. The bearing numbers are all listed there.

I think the sections are too easy (my opinion) There should be a few sections that are very hard, not necessarily big. The pros and experts should ride the same line in these sections, then all classes could compare how they rode as compared to other classes. We now have a lot of intermediate riders riding nationals. When I started you had to be an expert or prove you were at that level. I realize we don't want to hurt anyone, but there is always the option to punch a five if you don't want to ride the section.
