sirdabsalot Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 There are more riders in Ventura County than you realize... As far as Shercos go, talk to Steve Storz at Storz Performance, he has had quite a few of them and can probably help you out. If you would be interested in an '04 GG Pro Raga let me know. My buddy's got one for $4000. Cheers, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 sounds like it could be piston slap..... had this on montesa... a worn piston skirt makes a kind of dry clanging noise, more noticable to spectator than rider. got steadlily worse over 4 months of abuse piston skirt to bore clearance should be around 2 thou new, about 4 thou at max wear. check bore for deep scoring, replate if worn through nikasil coating also as mentioned check crankshaft play then check con rod big end and little end.

e9999 Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 well, I didn't buy the bike... will wait for one that seems a bit smoother. Would not hesitate to dig in normally, but time is in short supply right now, and price wasn't quite right. Sure appreciate all the feedback and help from everybody, though. Now I think I know what to pay attention to when I look at one next! Great place here, great folks! thanks Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitjay - hrc Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 You are better off walking away and having to wait a while (even if it makes you very sad, as you think ill NEVER find another one) than having a bike that your constantly being told needs this doing or looks like it could do with that.
