copemech Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Sorry Mark i might be being THICK but are you saying just change to a slow action throttle and see what that does? I have read some where else not sure where and it said the best option was normal throttle and retard ignition(saves twisting your wrist as much). I am going to go with what you suggest. cheers Adam I think the slow throttle is still a best first step and accepted practice. It will not slow the engines response, but will slightly broaden the riders input. Seems many get on with them just fine. Having a spare tube and grips on hand is good as well. Timing still needs set, if for no other reason it reduces kickbacks and stalling. Puller fits the Beta as well, so worth having. What jets are in it? Order reeds!

Will tell him to try a slow action thottle and see how he gets on. Thanks again for your help, will post on once he sorts one out and give some feedback.

charliechitlins Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yea, always start off slow. There is not really that much difference, and he will go at his own pace on things later. I have no Idea what Charlie is rattling about! You woulsd need a flywheel puller, and preferably a rattlegun to do the timing mod, but first things first, and or do the reeds next then see where he is at, as he may not want to go further, just depends? Oooops...believe Cope...not me. It's been quite a while since I wrenched a Sherco. If he says the flywheel needs to come off, then it does. I remember the process to be easy...but pulling the flywheel is pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
