i agree, he also admits he's a beta guy plus maybe the x280r would have been a better fit for his size but all in all it's one more place to find feedback. my personal feedback from people who sell and ride xispa has been very good so far, the test of "section time" will tell.

yep, you're connecting the dots like i did

great article and fair, not bad for a bike not set up for the rider. i'm sure there is very fast response from the factory on any issues. that's my experience...

what is an inter-section event?
cheers

hi doug
check out www.trialsontario.ca, there is about 32 vintage and modern events in 09 in ontario, most of which don't conflict. we do have a vintage class in the cma modern events and cma championships. any co-ordination or enhancement is great.

i'd like to know what the symtoms are? how is it changing through the gears? have you changed the oil since you discovered the problem, is there any metal bits? how was the bike when you tried it out before you bought it? sherco trannies are generally pretty solid.
cheers
-
i had the same issues on my caby plus plugging the pilot until i installed a fuel filter, since then no problem
cheers

thanks copemech
that certainly comfirms my research also.
my key reading are:
w-r - 41
w-g - 412
i'll have to get another meter on it to check against my cheap meter but if these readings are correct looks like i might have a stator issue. i still have spark and runs fine since removing my kill/light sw. but i think another failure is lurking.
cheers

here we go:
according to bradfords testing page: click me
quote:
But the Sherco triggers are different,set your test meter on the diode setting put the black test lead to earth with the red lead test between blue brown black you should get a reading something like 0
-
thanks, i did check that one out but i couldn't make sense of it, i don't think it's close to mine.
do you ride in windsor?, i was there last year in aug, i plan to go in aug this year.

my bike would loose spark after a 5 th gear hard run, a few minutes later it would come back, then the other day after 5 minutes of puttering around the driveway and in the past week it would be running, then next morning without touching it it wouldn't have spark, then later it would come back. the only variable was temperature??
when i don't have spark my question is why would i have spark on the kill sw black/wire but no spark on the orange coil wire coming from the cdi? as you can guess i don't want the problem to be an expensive cdi. both of these wires come out of the cdi together.
i'll take the exact readings of tony27 on my 2 map system to compare. i originally did all my readings to ground which doesn't seem to show much - i went by reading methods from a gasgas article i found, a least it gives me something to go by.
be nice to have a trouble shooting a-z article on sherco electrical systems, i can't even find a 2 map wiring diagram.
cheers

i've redone (greased) all the connections and grounds but my spark is still intermittent.
plus:
pulled flywheel and cleaned (it didn't need it)
new plug
removed kill sw
does anyone have the "correct ohm specs" for the stator?
while i have spark my readings at the stator cdi plug are:
all reading taken on normal resistance setting (diode setting not used for these)
red- 41 ohms
green - 450 ohms
black,blue,brown - infi.
yellow - 1 ohm
white - 0 ohms
coil lead - 1083 ohms
when i don't have spark the black/white kill switch wire from the cdi has voltage but the orange coil wire has no voltage?
also, can i assume that if i have a problem with my stator my red / green readings would be incorrect?
cheers

nice, looking forward to your thoughts on the 09, i almost took the plunge on one., had a blast for a day on a 10th anniversary, started first kick every time, right hand completely off the throttle is the key, i put my hand on the bar clamps to make sure there no possibility of a small 2t twist.
cheers
-
i found mine stiff at first, it gets better with use
cheers
-
thanks howard, is that 6 clicks clockwise or counter clockwise looking down at the shock mounted on the bike, cause i can't tell which way the adjuster actually turns in and out. not sure i made any sense there - lol -
cheers
-
when i first looked at the shock i thought two adjustments but then realized that the big end screw is to fill the n2. i assume it's some sort of needle style, it only has one dampening adjustment for the rebound, the comperssion is progressive. i did try it yesterday in -15c temps on a bit of bare ground (my riding area is totaly covered in snow) and it did feel different but that's certainly no test. i could hop the rear end easier, even with it that cold. i'm going to try it today, the bike sat in the house all night, should give me a bit more of an idea.
cheers
-
i was lucky enough to get a trp to try today, would like to know what you have your rebound dampening set at. currently mine is at 10 clicks clockwise which is right around mid point. also, the only way it would install on my caby is to have the dampening adjuster at the top. is this correct?
cheers
-
why not slide an inner tube over the shock and twist tie at both ends?
cheers
-
both are excellent, just different, nice to have choice to suit your needs
to me the 4t feels heavier, more power, more torque, less ability to adjust power (tame it), i probably will make the switch some day, i find the 301 a great stop gap as it brings more torque and controllable power, kinda fits in between the two.
cheers

they're good to work with but you have to work through the language barrier - it's not just a simple bolt onclick me
cheers

when you google it the feedback from the road guys it is very good, as good or better than ohlins if that's possible, i see on the wilbers german page the shock for the sherco is 449 euro's. i'm certainly just a very average rider but i am not impressed with the olle compared to other bikes i've tried like the mont and gg. i have an expert suspension guy in my town that sells ohlins so i think i'm going to get his feedback on the wilbers.
cheers
-
thanks Johnny, look forward to your feedback
cheers
-
thanks hugo, great info, now we need some feeback
cheers
-
can you please share your thoughts on the wilber shock. what specific shock did you use (yss?) for your sherco, spring rate etc.
cheers

very interesting site - i learn something all the time - click me
