zippy Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 It's about damn time they moved the coolant lines away from the exhaust. Looking nice I must say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 It's about damn time they moved the coolant lines away from the exhaust. Hmmm... I could be wrong but it looks like the coolant line coming from the water pump passes directly underneath the exhaust port. Great idea with the filler cap although what happens when the bike is upside-down?...how does this tank breathe? Yes it looks great (it does every year) but without fuel injection it might struggle to win my dollars. ... FI is along time coming and quite frankly I'm getting bored of waiting. Best of balance.

dan williams Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Now my only concern would be that they have a groove around a raised filler neck so spillage doesn't wash crud from the fender into the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Long header pipe! Needs blue rims! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I reckon you're right on the blue rims, gold just looks cheap to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzralphy Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hummm as you say - long header pipe - they used to promote power down in the lower revs if i remember correctly. Bit of a contrast to the new ossa with a short header? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedelaney Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Possible titanium header? Doesn't look chrome like previous years, similar to the ti header that came on the cabastany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 The long header has been around for a while, since '05 as I recall, and does indeed seem to bring out a bit more low end grunt out of the motor on most accounts. The 28mm VHST carby on the 2.9's has some real technical advantages over the standard PHBL. Hopefully they have these things worked out, as it is obvious enough that Sherco is ready and willing to run with them at this point. Should offer a good power apply and lots of top end! Similar to the 28 Kiehin which is still finiky! Yet for the average punter, I would still think a standard 250 the way to go. Ask for too much and your plate runneth over!
