    dry conditions I have been know to run 5 rear and 7 front. I am 16.5 stone. (230 lbs) Most often 4 rear and 6 front. Good size steps and such.

    Need next size up on the piston? Maybe the sound you here is piston slap. The top of your piston should have an A,B,C or D stamped in it. My last rebuild I changed rings but not the piston, I have great compression, runs really nice, but makes one hell of a clatter due to piston slap............Yes I know my rings will wear out prematurely from it. Much great Sherco Info. here

    1999 Sherco 250

    zippy replied to rezurect's topic in Sherco

    I usually put the two bolts in the front of the bash plate (near header pipe) just loose of course and use vise grips to pull the bottom of bash plate up to the mounting tabs under the engine. Redneck engineering.

    1999 Sherco 250

    zippy replied to rezurect's topic in Sherco

    If you have or can find somebody with a mechanical or ideally a Hydraulic press the bash plate can be "adjusted" so that the shape is more conducive to remounting. I have done it about 4 times. Just keep a close eye on it. We did have to bend it a little bit farther than it needed because as the pressure is let off the bash plate springs back a bit.

    Happy Birthday Copey, Go for a ride on that Sherco.

    It's a government run organization right??? So the formula is this: Less work = more taxes.

    The 2010 Fuel Tank

    I am completely baffled????

    Great Job, and yet again it is proven that Trials Riders are a close family. Even if we live thousands of miles apart.

    Not necessarily, If the cost for the DID is substantially higher then the spoke through design. Those budget minded manufacturers would go with the spoke through design. All boils down to $$$$$$$ seen the price on a mont?
  25. zippy
    OK the Monts have DID (?) rims right? the ones that have no rim tape is a solid rim with the turnbuckle type spokes. Why don't all the manufacturers use this type of rim?????? seems to me that would solve all leak problems except for leaking at the bead itself.
