The two yellow spokes directing you to the valve I presume?

Never been a problem finding my valve :) bit gimmicky?

Isn't it just paint runs from when they painted the hubs? I must say it's all very pretty.

If jetting didn't cure a lean problem, It sounds like either the compression was too high or The batch of CDi's were not mapped correctly.

Sherco's do run lean and knock at the best of times, My ex factory bike was right on the limit in the summer months even with slide and jet changes.

Bad customer care from Sherco, They should have identified the fault and replaced the parts needed for them to run correct for the market they were sold for.

It's not rocket science for them as the Cabestany replica bikes are not much more than a fancy front pipe, so called tweaked ignition and some stickers, very far from the actual factory spec bikes built by Paxau.

Unfortunate but don't expect any service from Sherco.

A few years ago I had to replace vulcanised rubber parts in my front forks. Sherco refused to reply to my emails.( There were no part numbers in the parts books. As if they didn't exist) The importer here in Aus eventually got me in touch with Paioli and even though the process was difficult with the language barrier they eventually agreed to sell me the parts I needed.

I think it may be a Spanish thing.

I'm keen to buy one of these bikes since there has been no dramatic changes for a few years and small issues seem to have been worked out.

I agree they shouldn't be that much different from the standard bikes and despite the advertising a far cry from Cabestany's.

I can only guess, but there is not really much difference from the standard bike here in the engine department.

Penno, did you get with Chris Pearson on this? He's good at tweaking.

I suspect a standard head would fix it if you did not want to splash for the high octane fuel.

There are also ways of contacting Paxau racing for suggestions.

And yes, I do believe there is something of a Spanish language barrier.(on all them)

If you ruled out a faulty carb and swapped the cdi with another bike to check then I would put money on the head being the culprit, Sherco could have sorted this very easily with a lower compression head that would have cost the factory about £25 or less. The engine would be the same spec as the standard model after that.
