charlie chitlins Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I can't find this on the Sherco website. The '01 200 I rode was so killer, I'm trying to figure out if I put a 200 top end on my son's 125, if it will run the same. The '08 125 is so revvy, I have a hard time imagining it has the same stroke as the older 200. So the stroke on the '01 2.0 is 50.7mm. Anybody know what it is for the lad's '08 125?

taffe Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hi Charlie, sorry I can't help with the spec's but I have a 07 125 Sherco with a 200 top end and a flat slide carby, I bought it that way 2 years ago from a junior riders dad. I stepped up/down from a 250 Beta Techno, and this little 200 had so much go I have had to de-tune it so that I can ride in the sections that I do now. I have a mate with a Beta Rev3 200, and he would not ride it until I got it sorted, now I give him a go and he won't come back. And that was before I de-coked the muffler. Once that was done I had to retard the ignition a bit to get it back to where it was more controllable again. Cheers Taff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I do not think much has changed as far as stroke and such, and 200 kits(163cc) were available at a cost of around $750 as I recall. Nice little bike, but for that money you could trade up to a 250! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Something has changed for the late model bikes, I've ridden both a 07 or 08 125 & a 12 or 13 125 this year & they're completely different bikes to ride. The new bike was an academy from memory & very hard to ride for someone used to a 290, no bottom end to speak of & all the power concentrated in the upper revs, the earlier bike was very easy to adapt to with heaps of bottom end & still had lots up top I don't recall ever seeing a 200 over here but I'd expect their character to be closer to the black frame 125 just more of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
