Hi all,

I just wanted to confirm the amount of folk oil I need in each leg, for my 06 Sherco 250.

Also, why hasn't Sherco released an 06 maintenance manual/chart for this bike?

Best of balance.

I havent checked it for ages, but I'm sure its still there...the Ryan Young Sherco website in USA...if you google it you'll find it, and it always used to have everything you'd ever need to know about Shercos.

Right 370ml

Left 385ml

I see you found the spec on the RYP site.

I would venture to say that those are "dry" specs, as if you had them apart. The distance measurement may be more accurate, specially on a drain and fill, as there may be a signifigant amount of residual oil! So befor dumping it all in, you might want to put 20-30ml less and adjust to height.

Idemitsu 0 J RACING TYPE 01 ! 3.472 vis! Yea right! I have a mix of PJ1 and some English Ale(i could not drink) that is just about right!

Otherwise, we just run the Maxima 5wt!

Hmmm

Sounds as though you are right on track. If you just put in the measured quantity you should be fine, but ck it!

Quite honestly, I did not have the '06 long enough to worry about it, and the '07 is not due quite yet, as I like the stock oil and run it as long as I can, as I do not ride every day.

One or two trials a month is more the norm around here, a few two days, add a bit of practice mostly in the back of the yard!

Wot's it like for you? We'll break for the summer, with 100f temps!

Hi copemech,

It's like WOW!!!....a completely different flipping bike!!!

I filled them up to 110mm (FTT), wt2.5....I'm a light weight and that suits me fine.

But I just can't believe how easy it is to drops-off
