Has any one tried out a flatslide carb on their SHERCO, been offered one to try on the boys 03 bike ,just wondered if any one has any views on them? setup ,running problems etc.

Chaves had one on his late '03 bike. He said he liked it, but he is just looking for more power. I think the round bores are smoother and thats why Sherco stayed with them in '04.

Cheers

David has gone back to using the Keihin. It is also a flat slide. I have used Keihins on all of my bikes since "99" and like they way they perform better than the stock 26mm Dellorto. Just my preference, I think the bike runs smoother and stronger.

I just put one on my sons "04", he liked the way mine ran so he got a Keihin for Christmas.

Wayne, Just ordered an 04 290 yesterday and would like to put the kehin on.. Can you tell me if I need to order any adaptors to accommadate the larger bore carb and also the jetting required @ sea level .......thanks D

The stock manifold can be stretched to receive the larger Keihin, if it is warm and you use a little lube on the carb and the manifold it helps.

Here is the information that I sent another guy who was asking about installing a Keihin.

I am using a 45 pilot in mine and a 48 in my sons. The carb comes with a 45. For main jets I am running a 130 and have a 125 in the other one. I will probably go with 130

Thanks Wayne .......You have a PM...............D
