zrex12 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Hi Anyone out there have any comments on the performance, longevity etc of the 2005 Sherco 3.2 4T. Edited October 12, 2009 by zrex12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Never heard of any engine problems as far as longevity goes, biggest issues have been starting related. Sherco sent out a kit over here to all the owners that included a new kickstart, ignition/coil, hot start kit for the carb & different camshaft. I was told 1 of the problems with them not starting hot was insufficent exhaust valve clearance which kept the valves open when hot. Shouldn't be too hard to find out if it's been done The former importer here in NZ put a oko flatslide on 1 & found major improvements in carb performance The 05 3.2s have a very manageable power delivery which is far better for the average rider than the current model Not much difference cycle parts wise to the 2 stroke, really only frame with removalable front spars, smaller tank & maybe airbox, rear guard being different Give it a try & see if you like it. I tried 1 when they first came out & reckoned if as was rumoured at the time that only 4 strokes were going to be available that I would have been able to switch without too much problem Hope that helps out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzralphy Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hi Tony is right, it is a nice bike. It just needs setting up so that it starts easily. I think the four stroke bikes are highly likely to last many years (upwards of 800 - 1000hrs) between pistons.... see this post....... http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/index....showtopic=26585 Ralphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
