[Rear Wheel Bearings]

I asked about wheel bearings a few weeks ago under the title 2000 wheel bearings theres a few tips in there:

Might be worth checking the plug first.

My Sherco was like that then I fitted a new plug and now it starts fine.

Should be OK on a new bike but you never know?

[Chain And Sprockets]

Can anyone recommend anywhere where I can get a new chain and sprockets set for my 2000 290.

We tend to get a bit of mud down here so the IRC might help when its like this

[2000 290 Wheel Bearing Sizes]

There NSK's not received them yet though

Thanks for the advice guys

[2000 290 Wheel Bearing Sizes]

Yes should be fine, is there anything different about these compared to others ?

Just got we worried why you asked ?

[2000 290 Wheel Bearing Sizes]

Thanks Nigel

A pair just came up on ebay

[Which Tyres]

Thanks for all the replies guys.

As a couple of you have said whether a tyre would make that amount of difference for my level of riding I'm not sure.

Just checked Dave Renham's website (www.bultacouk.com) and as he stocks IRC's I might try one of these, as he's just round the corner I won't have to trek for miles or pay delivery costs.

Cheers

I know it's been asked before but, I had a look on BVM's website and there's a big difference in the cost of a rear tyre:

Anyone know the sizes of the rear wheel bearings in my 2000 290 ?

Thought I'd go down the bearing shop before I take the old ones out.

I hope I get a discount next time I use them

[Helmet/clothing]

I wouldn't go down the second hand route if I were you.

I don't think anyone would want my old pants

You can get a NZI helmet for just over

[Sherco 2002]

Colly, go for it

My mate has a 2002 290 and it's fine,

I've had my 2000 290 for a couple of years now and no problems just usual maintenance cleaning the air filter, changing the oil etc.

I've had a new air filter and when I took the rear suspension linkage apart to clean it all I chewed up the swining arm bolt (soft aluminium) I think the bolt and nut was about a fiver and included postage.

I get my parts from BVM mail order www.bvm-moto.co.uk

Sherco's are very popular down here in the sunny south.

[Trailers]

There's usually a few trailers on www.adtrader.co.uk, a few bikes on there as well.

[South Coast Trials Club]

I said hello to Mick

I think I lost 20 + a few silly 5's here and there

But thats usual for me

Anyway thanks again

Mick

[South Coast Trials Club]

Wayne just want to say thanks for a great trial, really enjoyed it, are you going to publich the result on Trials Central, or could you email me the results?

[South Coast Trials Club]

Thanks Wayne, I'll see you Sunday

I'll be on my Sherco, but I'll bet you'll still beat me

Cheers Mick

[South Coast Trials Club]

Wayne, Miles our TVTC trial has been cancelled this weekend - lack of entries

So I think I'll come down as well.

I normally ride Novice/Sportsmen (red route) i.e. easy stuff, is the difficulty about the same Wayne?

I think progress has slowed down, I ride a 2000 Sherco and it's so much easier to ride than my old TY250(doesn't make me any better though ) , I had a go on my mates 2002 Sherco and the differences are very minor a few tweaks here and there and a better paint job.

[Italjet Trial 80]

If anyone's interested Steve Goode's number is 01938 850544

I found him very helpfull.

Mick

[Italjet Trial 80]

Thanks Steve and Martin

I got it going last weekend after fitting new mains and seals.

I got in contact with Steve Goode who supplies spares for the 250 and 350 Italjets, the brake shoes are the same size and he also had cables and mudguards.

I've got the rest in bits at the moment and me and my son are busy cleaning and repainting it (not exactly concours but it'll look alot better).

We're trying to get it ready for a camping weekend my club has over the May day bank holiday weekend.

I'll put some more pictures up of it when its back together.

Steve

Thanks for the reply, have you got the guys email address, if he just wants the engine he may want to sell the rest ?

Mick

[Italjet Trial 80]

I found this picture of one as well

[Italjet Trial 80]

Just bought this Italjet 80 for my Son, it in a bit of a state but with new mudguards and lick of paint it should be OK.

Its about half way between a Ty80 and a full size bike.

The engine rumbled some what so I stripped it down, when I took off the exhaust there was about half a pint of oil in it! further inspection found the main bearings and seals are gone.

Ive been told Harglo-Performance have spares for them so I will try them on Monday.

Anyone know any other sources for spares for these or any info at all I they any good, can't seem to find much on the net other than one or two pictures.

[What's Wrong With The 2000 Shercos]

I posted this on the The Best Shero Poll but nobody replied so I thouht I'd try again!

I notice the 2000 is last in the poll I've got a 2000 290 and wondered what you guys feel make it worse than the rest.

With my level of skill I don't think it'll make a lot of difference to me, but I'm just curious
