howard wallace Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Hey 30/60 Thanks for sharing your experience with us !!! I have just ordered a 3.2 ,and really appreciate knowing that mixing the drain plugs can cause this problem. Sounds like it`s easily done, great to get such useful info off this web site. Thanks.

jjwhite Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 it is great to know the solution to this problem, but it begs the question. Why does it have these problems in the first place? We all know thatSherco havent been on the go THAT long, but surely by now they should have learnt to check all of these things, admittedly we cant expect the world of them like we can with the likes of Montesa being backed by Honda and all, but something as simple as this should not have been overlooked by a factory hoping to produce a bike that will realisticly compete with the Montesa.

Not a problem with the bike, just who's working on it. Mix up with the plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
