Any suggestions on primary gear removal, the little bugger will not come off by lightly prying up and my gear puller is to big. I guess its hung up on the key.
I did a small test starting the Sherco and sprayed a little starter fluid behind flywheel and bike died and yes Idles very rough. When it heats up the exhaust smells unpleasant like gear oil being burnt. Could this be a double whamy, both seals going at once?
Someone told me that changing engine seals on Sherco's is a snap. You pluck them out with a dental instrument (be sure to sterlize in autoclave) then pop back in, is this procedure correct?
Sherco 2007 290 is fouling plug, runs boggish, carb/airbox always clean. Could this be related to a failing stator plate or CDI box. I have a 2006 Sherco that I can swap parts from, but just wonder if this could be electrical/heat related. Engine seal?
Michiana Trials Riders hosted the first MOTA points event for the 2010 season. Mother Nature did not cooperate and we recieved over 3" of rain in 48 hours. Despite the weather the event was well attended with 70 riders on Saturday and 57 remaining to gut it out on Sunday. The most exciting attendees were the youth riders with 8 on Saturday and 9 on Sunday, none were lost in the heavy rains and humongous mudpuddles. Our hats go off to Scott DeBolt for helping organize and working the youth comp instead of preparing for his own Expert class battle.
Michiana muddy mishaps included, David "Biff" Knapp swinging in full riding gear into the deep end of the pond, the fish were of little assistance in getting him out. Robert Roosen had a wild ride when he touched his brakes and slid across the lawn ending up under Zippy's truck. Do to the weather campfires were a consistant wash out, thus evening festivities were kept to a minimum. Spite the foul weather everyone had a great and challenging time.
MichianaTrialsRiders Rock! Everyone was great help today, we accomplished a ton. The sections, loop and awards are better than ever before. Several people will be here tomorrow play riding, Everyone call in sick and come on down!
Since I have your attention, when you travel down to the Michiana Riders 2 day event, staying at sam's trials compound, what would you like for breakfast? Bacon and Eggs, Oatmeal or Captain Crunch Berries. We can drink Coffee in the morning and gaze over the campgrounds from the porch viewing what deceptive practice was committed the night before. Unfortunately Biff is staying at a fancy hotel with a heated swimming pool, he will most likley take his bike with him.
Do you know what make, models and year of other bikes would swap. I recall seeing a Pro wheel once for sale for $200.00, Now I definitely would like a spare.
Thanks for the quick reply! I just returned from NATC site and read the rules, I take it there will be a Clubman title at the end of the season? Hope the twin shock class becomes a big success.
Also, there will be additional activities, Official Horse Shoe throwing pits located in the Howard's camp. PingPong tournament near the registration area. And possibly a dog show!
entertainment will consist of RandyR and Zippy playing a duet on there acoustical guitars, Followed by Molly Hatchet. Yes! I'm in the process of booking Molly Hatchet, very excited! I sent them an e-mail and waiting for a response.
This will be the best Northern Indiana Trials Event ever!
Just want to mention that we are adding property to the event this year which will make are loop no less than 3 miles long and some interesting terrain and sections.
I'm in the process of booking Molly Hatchet, very excited!
