The previous owner told me this was normal for the clutch to slip until the engine warms up.

This is not normal on any other motorcycle or car/truck I have ever experienced.

What is the truth? Is that how Sherco makes them? Or do I need to service something wrong with the bike?

Thanks alot!!!

Something is wrong.

ohh dang

What could it be?

Do you mean that the clutch slips or that it doesn't clear?

It's quite normal for the clutch not to clear, just stick it in 3rd or 4th gear.

Like the previous post says: Do you mean the clutch drags....... not slips?

If you mean drags then that's quite normal but if it slips then its dismantle time?

The clutch on my Sherco 250 doesn't disengage properly when I first start the engine but once it has warmed up its fine.

I have not had it long, when it first happened I thought it may need the fluid replacing/bleeding or the plates replacing or something.

My 125 Sherco and my 250 Beta used to do this, but after following the modification tips on this forum [have a look] no more clutch problems at all, cold or warm.

Ok, SLIPPING and STICKING are two different things.

Do you mean that the clutch does not release with the lever pulled in? So it drives forward reguardless when placed into gear?

Ya it just wants to drive away with you on it and you cant really stop it unless you shift it into neutral or else it stalls.
