January 29, 200620 yr Hey I have just spoken to a dealer about a '99 SHERCO 250. I think it must have been the first generation they produced on their come back as its 1999 and it
January 29, 200620 yr The 1999 is a great bike - They got it "Right" first time - I still have the original unit brought into Canada.
January 29, 200620 yr I have a 99 Jarvis replica, bought it new. Liked it so much I became a dealer. Take good care of the air filter and look to make sure that it doesn
January 30, 200620 yr Yes, i'll never sell it. Along with my 199B i have one each of the last great bultaco trials bikes.
January 30, 200620 yr I've still got a 99, great bike. Watch out for cracking at the top of the down tubes (level with the top of the radiator). Check the gear oil for water contamination!! Linkage overhaul costs a packet.
January 30, 200620 yr Author Cheers for all the input guys Just a few questions I want to clear up. What is the best way to check the linkage? In you own opinions; is this bike better than a Beta Techno of the same year? Also i have attached the dealers picture, dont know if any of you experts can tell me anything from it. To me it looks very clean and tidy with the normal trials scraps and scratches. Thanks Scott Edited January 30, 200620 yr by scott_king
January 30, 200620 yr can't tell much from the pic, chances are if it looks good, who ever had it took some care of it. For the linkage, lift the rear end by the muffler and feel for play. If there is none your doing good, if there is alot (you feel it clunk)you can count on replacing the bearings.
