Hi, just bought a used sherco 2.9, now it looks to me like an 03, but the tank sticker say's 04 series how can i identify the year from the frame number?

Thanks in advance

Suggest you use the Sherco forum next time but in the mean time see link to an earlier thread

Frame Number

I think I'm right in saying that the rear caliper moved inside the singing arm on the 04 model.

Not sure how many other differences there are, but I think that's one of them. If you have a picture I think we could pick it out.

Mine is a 04 Sherco, but made in 2003 (I bought it around October 2003)

Think that was '03, BS, all but the 125's! The '04 would have the new delta link, same as now as I recall.

Are you on your original shocker? You may have got the best for reliability?

You can tell the year the bike was produced by the frame number, the number following TR (8th didgit from the end) is the year it was made TR2 is made in 2002, TR3 is made in 2003 etc.

Althought u can get an 03 model made at the end of 02 and an 04 model made at the end of 03 etc.

Looks wise providing the plastics and grpahics havn't been changed this is what an 03 should look like:

I found this site good to tell the difference between models: http://www.geocities.com/fn_owens/bultaco/sherco.html

I was sold a bike 2 weeks ago which was advertised and sold as an 04 model 250cc, but turned out to be an 03 model (made in 2002) 290cc , i bought it from a dealer and paid 04 money for it, so when i found out it was an 03 i contact them and asked for a refund, which i eventually manage to get. I have since gone and bought an 05 290cc which i checked the frame number before buying and it is it actually 05 built.
