Hi,I have recently bought a 2001/2002 Sherco 290,fork seal was gone,on replacing the seal I found out that the bottom yoke has been broken where the fork goes through it.Im new to trials bikes,this being my first one,and nearly passed out when I was quoted

How broken is it? Obviously the cleanest method will be if you can get hold of a second hand one from someone, but you could look at getting it welded if it's a possibility.Post a picture of the break maybe?

Dunno what area you're in so don't know if we could suggest someone to look at it.

Hiya mate,live in Evesham,Worcestershire.have taken it into a local welding business-says he will look at it this afternoon,though doesnt promise that it can be fixed.The break is right by the side of where the 3 allen bolts go to hold the fork in place.Will let you know what the outcome is-Cheers

Hi,had the part welded,looks ok but cant guarantee that its as strong as before-welder bloke didnt even charge me-said it was nice to have something a bit different to do-good bloke,so gave him a drink and came back home to refit it and see if it works ok-cheers

Good stuff - try to keep it on the back wheel as much as possible then eh!
