I have just been looking through Sherco's website and on their setup and lubrication guide they recommend a fuel/oil ratio of 80:1, I was told to use 50:1 by the guy I bought the bike off.
Which ratio should I use, or is there any other recommendations?
The bike is a Sherco 290 2002.
I've got plenty of weight behind the kick, I'm still a bit of a novice so the thought of kickback might be putting me off a bit (only had the bike 5 weeks).
I was planning getting the bike serviced before spring anyway so if the timing is out then hopefully it will get sorted then.
I had the same problem on my last bike (climber 280) so maybe its just me not giving it 100% with the thought of breaking my leg.
The only problem I have with starting my Sherco 290 is kick-back (when the kick start returns and nearly kicks me off the bike), does anyone else have same problem? or is it only me/my bike?
It just shows you what a bit of practice does.
I've just got myself a Sherco 290 and am new to this trials lark (although have had other bikes) but have noticed a big difference already, just with a few practice outings.
I dont think i will win anything in 3 months time though, wishful thinking!
