trial_master Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Just a quick question What defines a 2003 model 2.9 form the older models. Is it true that only the 2003 model has a darker colour crank case cover, compared to the colour of the rest of the engine Cheers Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the artist formerly known as ish Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 (edited) Look at the vin number, it should be VNBS129TR3A0????? Each model year TR plus the year in this case TR3 129 = 2.9 VNBS129TR2AO???? would be a 02 2.9 VNBS132TR5A000 would be a 05 3.2 The plastic can easily be changed and is not a reliable indicator of the bikes age.

wayne thais Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 If you are looking for the differences in the "03" here is what the Sherco brochure for "03" says. * New Transmission Gear Ratios * New More Progressive Rear Suspension * New Frame Geometry * New More Robust Clutch Basket * New Redesigned Airbox * New Paoli Front Fork The brochures are available on the Sherco website. www.sherco-moto.com Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Most important of the improvements was the change in gear ratios, much better than the 02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
