timh Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Firstly I'd like to say hello to you all , the beers are on me!!! Due to a slight miscalculation on my part, I find myself the proud owner of a 200 Sherco, 2000 or 2001 , with shot main bearings. Lots of horrible noises from the bottom end, and 5mm + of play on the flywheel. I have a couple of questions for those of you who know more than me that I'd be grateful for some replies to. First I need to identify the exact model and year of the bike. Second, where is the best place to buy the spares I need - bearings , seals , gaskets etc. Third, I'm not a mechanical virgin, but I've never had a Sherco engine apart before. Is there anything specific I might need to watch for? I'm sure I'll have more later, but thats it for now. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) The 200, or 2.0 Sherco(163cc i think) is a sweet bike and will perform well, I would think yours at about 2001 model, as not sure the put them out before. I know experienced riders who just love the little gentile giants, as the are likely to do anything you want or need. A set of bearings, seals and gaskets is not too dear, and it is a keeper, unless you just need BIG power!

timh Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Cheers for the info. All the bits to fix it are cheaper than I thought, so its not a big disaster. And thanks to the link at the top the info to do it is all readily available. Its been a few years since I've had a motor down to its crank, and I was feeling a little unsure about the whole thing. 163cc? Is that right?

tony27 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 163cc is right, basically it's a 125 with a big bore kit. Most 200s are roughly the same size with the only differences occuring above the cases Every piece of info you could possibly need for rebuilding & running your bike are on shercos website, I'm assuming you've already found the links at the top of the page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
