Hi all,

I've have just bought a 2008 Gas Gas 125 racing.its In mint condition and rides great. Are there any problems whith this year I should look out for. Are the oils that I used in my sherco good for this bike or what would you reccomend.and any general maintenance tips would be great

Thanks,

Ben

I am not going to start a war, I hope. Since we're not Sherco Experts down here, I would suggest you tell us what you were using, maybe someone will speak up if they used it. Im assuming you are just talking about the transmission/clutch oil, and that we're discussing 2-stroke powered Sherco?

Gas:oil mix and brands used probably ok, I like personally fully synthetic premix oil, mixed 80:1 in my Gas Gas year round.

Transmission oil recommended by many (you should read all the threads on here) was ATF like dextron 3, I used type F, but Type F makes the clutch really quick and on off like to me.

Change the trans oil often! it lubes your crank bearings, and also washes everything else in the transmission and clutch area! 10 hours or less if you know what I mean... I say one good trials (we get 3 hours to ride out loops) and a few nights practice, then change oil before the next meet, is how try to I roll.

Second what sting32 says. If You like how it behaves now it may be a good idea to ask the previous owner what he/her used for transmission..
