I made this video in June 2018 but didn't make it public until Jan 2020. Not sure why. Just me messing around with a 2013 Sherco 3.0 ST for the first time.
We did the exact same thing when we bought are 2014 first time my son jumped on and clicked into gear he went for a ride lol . Now I warm it up a bit on the stand and play with the clutch and shift in and out of gear it works every time there fun bikes and can do amazing things. Watch Pat Smage videos lots of how too and riding tips it helps to watch a 11 time national champion also
They are powerful bikes as far as leaping away from you. Hope you enjoy your new sport you will find many friends who ride them. These channels will help you out below.👋👋 6 months I'll have mine .
Had 3 off these and the clutch on all 3 of them stuck when you first started them up. They soon release up. Just ride it with clutch pulled in till it works or just put front wheel against a wall then put it into gear. The clutch sticking really is very very common and normal to be honest, nothing to worry about
before you start the bike put it into 3rd or 4th gear....clutch in & rock forwards & back to release. Start bike up, let it get hot and pump the clutch a bit before putting into gear. Always expect it to pull away when first started.
Every time the cold put them into gear with the engine off and rocket backwards and forwards with the clutch in and it gets oil around the clutch and it stops this i’ve got a sherco and it does the same
Used to ride an OSSA MAR 250 in the 70s did the SCOTTISH SIX DAY TRIAL . toughest trials competition in the world, I came nowhere was in triple figures the winner for the whole six days had 16 points
I want to do this too. I have a ohv park 10 min away with trials stuff. The clutch reminds me of old Yamaha clutches from the 70's-early 80's. The plates would get stuck together if they sat for a while and you had to ride around with no clutch for a few minutes till the oil got flowing again around the plates
The clutch plates on my first Sherco (I've had 6) would stick like yours. When the plates broke free, the clutch worked great. Every weekend was the same, until I changed to a synthetic oil. I put 30w Royal Purple oil in the trans and the problem was solved. That was 19 years ago, and I still use Royal Purple. Mobil One would work, both are great oils. I hope you enjoy the sport as you have good balance.
Recently into trials from enduro real fun when you get used to it and all trials bikes are hard to get neutral when started you will enjoy it pal nice bike
Please have the kill switch on your waist at all times ,it will save you and you bike . I also noticed both levers are facing down to much about 10 to 15 degrees down for bar grips. Your balance is real good first up . Enjoy the ride keep practicing but on dirt not tar.
I can sympathize, just got myself a 2011 290ST and im having all the issues you have had! Seems like the last owner just didnt bother sorting anything!!
I just bought a used 2003 Beta REV3 250. My first trials bike. It's been really hard getting used to the left side kick. And damn does that thing have some huge compression! I can hardly find neutral as well LOL. Subscribed 👍🏻 I'm with you. Stay safe ✌ How's it going a year later??
You guys should try sherco bikes. I've tried gasgas, beta and sherco, and sherco has by far the best build quality, they are a lot more durable than the other brands i tried.
I still have the bike but haven't ridden it (or any other motorcycle) in several years. I'll probably end up selling it. Life changed pretty drastically for me in 2017 and it seems like my riding days are mostly over.
