December 16, 20178 yr hello, the rear shock on my sherco seems not that good; had a gasgas before and that shock was better is there something i can do to improve or do i need to buy a better shock ? kind regards bob
December 17, 20178 yr There is nothing wrong with the stock shock. (Ridden very hard it can break.) The Gasser has a more lively feel in comparison. You have to make sure the suspension is set up correctly for your weight before spending money on a different shock.
December 17, 20178 yr I'm no expert but I ride loads of bikes. What I find is bikes the owners have neglected the linkage /swinging arm maintainence are pretty poor. Everything working nice and smoothly makes a massive difference. Never heard and complaints about the Sherco suspension assume you can fine tune the damping so there is a chance a previous owner has adjusted it poorly. Another thing if you've an old tyre on something like a Pirelli or a Mitas it wont help. Agree with Lineaway don't spend any money until you've checked it all out. Apologies for sounding a bit patronising you probably know more that me,
December 17, 20178 yr Author will take the shock out and have a look bike used to be riden on highest level but it had a different shock then ( TRP shock) the standard shock has not done a lot of work yet maybe something wrong with bearings or link system i have a michelin x light on, bike has not been used for 1.5 years ( prefer my bsa :p)
December 17, 20178 yr Know of a few people not impressed with the ohlins in the back of the sherco. Dead is all they say.

Swapped it out for a reiger. Personally i think the ohlins is a little old hat at the moment, reiger have certainly took things to a new level. Edited December 17, 20178 yr by faussy
