March 28, 200521 yr hi, i've just ordered an 50cc sherco for my daughter and i'm just looking for a bit of info on them ??are they user friendly ?? what like is the two speed gearbox? what type and quantity of oil do you premix? gearbox oil? etc etc??? are they user friendly ?? We found them very user freindly and easy to ride and maintain. what like is the two speed gearbox? I enjoyed the two speed gearbox. It is nice to have neuteral and my son would use low in sections and high down the trail. what type and quantity of oil do you premix? I use the same as I am using in my large bikes. 64 / 1 Maxxima K2 full synthetic. While there are several on the boards gasping and moaning that I would run a small two stroke air cooled bike on so lean an oil mix, we never had any problems. I did not want to run seperate gas cans. what type and quantity of oil do you gearbox oil? I use Maxxima MTL 75 wt. 300 cc. Any high quality motorcycle specific two stroke bottom end oil is fine. CHANGE IT OFTEN. it is very easy to do once you find yourself a squeeze bottle with a pointy tip that holds 300cc or more and mark it appropriately. Two screws on the right side of the engine. etc etc??? I did some changes on ours and it is dependent on the child, their riding ability and desires. We found them to be a great little bike that was very competitive and dependable. As with all the other 50's out there, there are some area's that could be improved but I think you will find that you have a dependable machine that your child will really enjoy riding. I would add a foot brake too that machine. There is an thread and pictures here on this board of how I did Deans.
