Fit

Thank you very much all I will try that this weekend :/ If not its an engine out job! Great!

NOt had a problem for 6 years with gassers and then my 08 pro decides to start shifting poorly. It shifts fine upwards, no gear is hard to engage but on the down shift it is rough and difficult to get into the gear. I have been told that when the return spring in the clutch side breaks the gear lever moves right to top and bottom, i am not experiencing this. Any ideas? Selector poles? Kind regards, Mike.

Thanks chaps, i'll get the casing pulled off A.S.A.P. I best just check that the cable hasn't got trapped too. How does everyone find the 4th - 5th gear change on the 08's? I've had a pro every year but this one seems different. Sometimes it doesn't go in the gear and drops back in to 4th. Is this ok? I've changed the oil and there were no pieces off teeth on the drain magnet. cheers, Mike

Sometimes when i pull my clutch in it doesn't go back to the bar as it should, as if somethings getting jammed. Doesn't always do it. Anyone experienced this? The clutch still works fine though. Never had one do it before.

As we've always said "give it time" but yep they are taking a lot of time!

I just picked up my 2008 280 & it is by far the best bike i have ever ridden. As for snappy its all in your heads! Preconceptions, myths!

personally its i think its a myth that the 280's are more snappy. i've had them all & in my opinion the 280 is better, The 300 just spits rocks out with torque. plus it never carburated as well as the 280! but hey you'd be better trying them. Also try riding them without knowing which is which otherwise yo'll already be favouring one or the other!

Could anyone tell me if an 07 Pro comes with an Ohlin's / Sachs rear shock? Thanks.

Had my wheels anodised by Jamie from Candy Wheels this year and i wanted to call and run something past him but i cant find his number anywhere!! Is he still doing business and if so could i have his number? Failing this any other recommendations apart from the one in TMX? Thanks, Mike

yeh i heard off one of the organisers at a trial today but cant ride now because i fell off and f****d my shoulder on a ****ty little section!!!!!!!!!

You might get a tank sticker if your very lucky but you'll be pissin in the wind if ya try and get a seat sticker but good luck all the same! No harm in tryin

Dont tell me its just the 125 they've changed, i thought it was the whole range apart from the pathetic atempt of a 4 stroke (The 4t)?

Yeh but the heat isn't really that much of a prob, i mean they are well popular accross the continent and they dont have any problems. Gutted i have to wait until december to get my 06 gasser!!!!!!

Morning fellas, I've got a 05 280 pro and my dad has a few bikes including a 4rt so i've had the chance to compare. Firstly impression was good, felt very solid when dropping off things! After riding i was suprised to find it didn't grip as well, the reason for this baffles me as i have always being told 4 strokes are good for grip. Did also feel a slight lack of power but im sure that could be sorted out. In all they are a nice bike and if they were a bit less i would consider it as i guess i woud have less problems with it. Oh and whats the crack with the repsol replica! What a bloody joke, wheres the orange wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got a feeling they are 3500 this year but you got to remember we are getting ohlins rear shock and new alloy front fork stansions. They should ride better because of this but the engines are virtually identical!

Couldn't agree more JTT, i dont know why people have this ludacris misconception of gassers, i mean what extra parts to they have over a sherco!!!!

Yeh you would have thought they'd be ridng them unless they are really rushing the development through and they dont want to take the risk of cabo and Grimbo riding it. Guess old Pons will be the man with the job of developing it, possible they want to keep it all hush for maximum wow factor I usually get new bikes january so hope theres a test bike available b4 then. Superior to a gasser in what way? Because it wouldn't be hard to beat them on build quality but on rideability!! That would be an achievement!

Well spoke to Richard Ellwood, John Wren and a few others and they said about modified rear end, Shocks, power characteristics bla bla but yet to hear out from Rathmels about the Launch date.

Quite interested to know when Sherco are going to be releasing pictures of there radically modified 2 stroke trials, any one heard out?

Ha, you mean the cog which the fan shaped one engages on. Im on about my third on my 05 280, now and again when ya start it it makes the noise but i have just decided to leave it!!!! Aint causing any problems and its just fallen out the warranty period. My Clutch has just gone now, another 40 quid down the drain!!

If its an 05 you will have a kokasan ignition (probably wrong spelling) on which there will be a spare black and orange wire coming off, one with a male on and the other with a female, connect them and it has the same effect as the button on the Raga, gas gas were telling some of the brits to do it at the european!! Otherwise 03 centre box will make a considerable difference and i think it boyesan reeds they all use but dont quote me on that!!

Just being lucky enough to go and test out the new scorpa 4 tricks at Birkett motorsport, Broughton, for feature in next weeks TMX. Great little bike, had loads of fun on the thing and its got enough power for sit down wheelies so im happy! Ha. By the sounds of things they are taking it to hawkstone so check it out!!

i have photo proof of young girls wrapping their legs round its a kinda magics neck. he is a ditty ditty boy!!!!!!! Didn't realise it was vodka untili nearly heaved off it. killer hangova next day. ha

To be totally fair David Pye should have being on S1 to, i will next year after havng a good look at sections. Heat was killer on sunday especially when your hung over after celebrating 21st on previous night.
