Oh and get a couple of spare braketec front brake master cylinders if it has em!!!! Plenty of links on the site for the cursed cross hole / burr dilemma!! Edited June 1, 201610 yr by bartman6996
June 2, 201610 yr Essential modifications for a Sherco ST with the fuel tank under the "seat". 1. The Sherco plastic downtube protector doesn't work. When the fork yokes hit the downtubes, the plastic frame protector jumps out of the way, allowing the yokes to hit the frame. This dents the tubing, compromising it's strength.. It has/will happen to yours!. Bin the useless Sherco protector and make a new pair from black plastic electric conduit. Go to Screwfix and buy a length of Tower conduit heavy guage 25mm x 2m length Black (46738). £1.50. Cut off two 3" lengths. Slit them longways. line with thin draught excluder foam, sticky side to conduit. They will clip on to your frame without sticking and will stay in place and protect your frame (and it's strength). Replace periodically. 2. Fit an in-line fuel filter. One of these small ones from e.bay works well on a 125. £2.00. 250/300cc might need a larger one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Motorcycle-Bike-Engine-Fram-Plastic-Inline-Mini-Small-Fuel-Gas-Filte/251712866901?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D36823%26meid%3D81696840dcbd4a2aa4b07eda01fde0e1%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D3%26sd%3D301972249841 3. Fit a Sherco fuel cap cover to keep dirt out of your recessed fuel filler, which is a built-in dirt trap. £10 from e.bay. 3 allen screws to fit it. Warm your mudguard with a hairdryer, then increase the size of the hole to suit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/sherco-fuel-cap-cover-/272161414973? Edited June 2, 201610 yr by stpauls
