Service Manuals
A full set of service manuals are available on this site (manuals) and the Sherco International website (www.sherco.com).
Fuel
Use any high quality 93 Octane Pump fuel.
Two Stroke Oil
Use high quality synthetic two-stroke oil mixed at 80:1 (12.5ml of oil per litre of fuel).
Transmission / Clutch Oil
Use high quality motorcycle transmission oil.
Spark Plug
The bike comes from the factory with an NGK - BP5ES; we have found that this plug works great. The gap should be set at .020 (.50mm).
Air Filter
The air filter needs to be kept clean; riding conditions will determine how often it is cleaned. Use high quality motorcycle foam air filter cleaning fluid to clean the filter and high quality motorcycle foam air filter oil on the filter. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to clean and oil the filter. We suggest that you protect the air filter when you wash the bike.
Never start the bike immediately after it has been washed, always check the air filter and the airbox prior to starting in order to make sure that water has not entered the filter / airbox.
Carburetor
The factory has equipped the carburetor with 30 & 33 pilot jets along with 124 & 126 main jets. For sea level in we suggest that you start with a 36 pilot and a 118 main jet. Altitude, temperature and humidity can have an effect on carburetion. Check with your local dealer for what works best in your area. The float level should be set at 18.5 mm, the fuel screw should be set at around 4 turns out, this will have to be adjusted for the individual operating conditions. (Turning the screw out, counterclockwise richens the idle / slow speed mixture).
Spokes
The front and rear spokes should be checked initially and after the first hour of operation. Adjust as required; they need to be checked on a regular basis, especially during the break-in period.
If you have any questions about any of these items please contact John Hughson.
