hoodie2 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I was checking out the pictures of the 06 models on Ryan Youngs site. At first sight they look great, but on closer inspection something looks wrong about the two stroke. It looks like Sherco are trying to have the 4 & 2 strokes share as many components as possible, but if so does this mean the design is primarily to improve the 4 stroke and has the 2 stroke been left with less than ideal parts. take the frame; it looks great on the four stroke but on the other bike there is too much unused space above the cylinder head. This could have allowed for a bigger fuel tank allowing a capacity more useful than the puny 2.8 litres quoted. Also the location of the electrics looks suspect on the two stroke, hanging above the carb. Are they trying to use the same tank & air box as well? Anybody got any ideas or better yet any knowledge of how many components the models share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ba baraccus Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Nevermind I have found it! It does look like they are using the same frame but the 2stroke looks fine to me. Definate improvement over old! But yeah maybe they could have given the 2stroke a bigger tank to fill the space a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsurge Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 But yeah maybe they could have given the 2stroke a bigger tank to fill the space a bit! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Then everyone would complain about the excessively bulky tank and how much the bike weighs when fully fuelled. It'd make a good SSDT/Scott weapon though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I know it's hardly a core part of the bike, but maybe some of you saw my recent post where I bought a 290 2T rear mudguard and I got a 4T mudguard (with the vent holes). Well I'm told that they're only doing the ones with the vent holes, so for the 2 stroke you can just stick the stickers over to cover the holes??? Well that was what I had done as a bodge - and i thought I'd stick some fibreglass behind it maybe - I never expected it to be the factory answer. Nothing too conclusive, but maybe another clue.

hoodie2 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 2.8 litres of fuel and immersing your electrics wont get you far in the Scottish.I suppose if your bikes featherlight it's easier to carry home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
