faussy Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) Nothing against sherco 125s but those years of shercos with the inverted tank/air filter and fuel pump were never a great hit. Across all the capacity range. They went back to conventional setup in 2016 the same as the scorpa and were a good bike again Edited May 16, 2023 by faussy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stpauls Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) Two main issues with the rear tanker Shercos. 1. The steering stop chops through/dents/collapses the frame down-tubes - look and you will certainly find! This seriously weakens the strength of the tube and the frame. (Some people had new frames from Sherco, but I guess it still happened again). 2. The tank plumbing is overly complicated. The 2 feet of plastic tubing WILL perish/crack/become porous, resulting in all kinds of weird and wonderful issues, until it is completely replaced with new plastic tubing - perhaps every couple of years. Cheap enough if DIY. Other than this they are good bikes! Edited May 16, 2023 by stpauls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
