trial_master Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 hi. Is there anyone who will be at Bumpy this coming weekend 24/25 september? Or is there anywhere else locally to west leeds that someone will be riding at? Because i would apprechiate it if some one who knows a bit about the sherco 290 would take a look/have a ride on my bike, to basically check it out for me. As i am a complete novice and am getting paranoid of all the noises coming from the engine, particualary a knocking sound! could this be the bottom end on its way out? Cheers Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausy300pro Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Dont know if I can help, wont be at bumpy this weekend ( dont know whats happening there ) will be at post hill on sat for west leeds trial, if you can make it there I will have a look for you and should be able to identify what the noises are (depends on year of bike but some shercos used to chew main bearings) jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trial_master Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Thanks for the replys, my bike is a 2002 (i think, but it has 2003 graphics) This is start of frame number VNBS129TR2 I will try to get down to post hill, i know i wont be able to ride there as im not a member of a club YET!, but would some one who has the same bike be able to take it for a spin and let me know what is wrong with it, if anything at all? secondly, how do i get into post hill, will the gat by wickes be open? where do i go when i get inside? Thanks Ryan PS will anyone else be going to Bumpy this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausy300pro Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 YES GATE NEAR WICKES WILL BE OPEN FROM ABOUT 11 AM SHOULD BE PLENTY OF SHERCO RIDERS THERE WETHER THERE WILL BE ANY 02 SHERCO RIDERS I CANT SAY BUT ENOUGH LADS WITH GOOD MECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE TO DO A REASONABLE DIAGNOSIS FOR YOU. PS IF I AM WELL INFORMED THE 02,S DID HAVE MAINS PROBS BUT DEPENDS ON WHAT TYPE OF NOISE ITS MAKING IF ITS KNOCKING ITS MORE LIKELY TO BE A CASE OF LOTS OF PISTON SLAP OR THE BIG END WORN HOPE THIS HELPS.

djdenzil Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I`ll be there as well, flying those Sherco team colours. I do hope its not as wet as last year as those 25 sections will seem like riding four laps, not two!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trial_master Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 cheers, i will try to get down on saturday, will be in a black fiat punto with the blue/yellow sherco on the back. I will probably just wait at the gate and follow some one in. Just hope its a sherco rider! Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausy300pro Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Hope i did not miss you ryan i was at post hill early and did wait about until just before trial got under way i assume you did not make it as i could not see you after i had finished trial either, hope you got sorted. jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
