Copemech, following advice from yourself, i made a break pedal bush out of Aluminium Bronze which we had in work, No wear at all on it yet so its definately a better idea. Cheers
Cheers fellas, looks like im not the only one geting problems then.
Next time i get 5 minutes i'l take drain the bowl and then see if she starts.
Luckily we dont get very cold weather for long, only a few weeks every year so i think i'l leave enlarging the choke.
I havnt been a ble to get out on it so often this year so perhaps the longer spells sitting in the garage and the bit of cold weather we had has got to the fuel then.
I have a 2007 sherco and im having trouble starting lately. When i first bought it, one or two good kicks and it would fire up. Recently when using it, it seems to take over ten kicks to start cold and then runs perfect, but when i knock it off if it doesnt start on the first 1 or 2 kicks, it can take ages to get to fire up. During this time when im trying to kick it, the kick back gets quite violent (snapped a kickstart too).
I have not retarded the timing yet, (although i bought the puller to do it) and i know this might help. But i have never had this problem before with starting it.
I would like to get it starting as it was before, before i start adjusting timing.
The bike is serviced regulary, and the spark plug is new.
Its hard to get my head around because when it does start it runs like a dream.
Hi, Ive purchase an old mk1 Caddy Pickup as a run about and to put my trials bike in the back. rather than just strapping it down, in the past I seen some brackets that bolted to the back of your pick up and clamped the front wheels in. Does anyone know where to buy these or is anybody using them??? Photos of your set up would be a bonus
I know theres loads of threads about retarding the timing on the 2007 sherco 290 but i wanted to be sure cos i've never attempted this before. To retard the timing you turn the back plate anti-clockwise? correct? is this anti-clockwise when looking at the flywheel???
Has anyone got a photo showing the stator plate that has already been retarded. A photo is a 1000 words and all that
I have a Sherco 290 with a tubed michelin tyre on her with no rim lock and i noticed after the last outing on her, that the valve was at an angle so obviously the tyre has moved slightyly!!!!!!!!
i have a 2007 sherco 290 and the rear brake pedal seems to be too high, i have to bend my ankle a hell of a lot to get my foot onto the brake. when pulling a wheelie it feels almost impossible to tap the rear brake. Is there anyway to adjust the height of the brake pedal.??????????
I bought the lever from SPL*TSHOP, I only have the knuckle left on the kickstart shaft, do i need to order the spring, ball bearing and grub screw aswell??? or do you think they come as part of the lever????????
