Hey Roger, I've had my 300 for a while now. Some discussion here: http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/2014-sherco-2t-4t-300s-quick-test-ride.44273/ Mine is a 14' 300 2T. I haven't ridden a 15 or 16. From what I've read, the bikes haven't changed much expect for many little refinements. Biggest change would be CC forks on the 2016 factory models... due soon. They are an impressive machine. Any questions, just ask.
Boogie I have a 15 FE 501 that is the best all around bike I have ever had and will be keeping for mainly dual sporting and more open riding. The suspension was done by Zip Ty racing for a very reasonable price and am very happy with it. I have been looking to add a bike for tighter single track and racing. The last several months I have ridden several KTM 300 XC's. I was very impressed with the smooth linear power and when throwing them around in the tight corners and whoops they felt like a mountain bike compared to the 501 and the 501 is suprisingley nimble for a 500. I was most impressed with the XC that had the Electron carb. Supper smooth and seemed to pull for ever. I heard the Sherco has a very strong and smooth motor and the chassis handles like the Husky X lites ? The X lites I had was the best handling bike I have ever ridden. I was in a Sherco dealer and the Sherco is pure eye candy ! Tell me about yours Russ
I am going to like it. I have a deposit on one. Have you ridded a new two stroke with the Electron carb ?
I've only read about one guy with a Lectron carb on his sherco. Would probably have to check the shercoforum.com forum
Good choice, I'm sure you'll like it. Did you go 250 or 300? I've never used a lectron. I haven't even adjusted the jetting on my bike... I checked it and it was set correct for altitude and temp (according to sherco data) and it starts, idles and runs well. I haven't ridden a KTM 300 xc but did ride a 250 sx back to back. The sx being a 250 and a MXer a comparison probably isn't valid. I did prefer the Sherco handling that's for sure. I've still got my X lite and yes, they do handle similar and both very nimble. If I was splitting hairs between them I'd say the x lite chassis feels a little more flexible and the sherco more rigid. I think the wheelbase is similar on both. The ergo's seem a little more roomy on the sherco.
