Great Video! How Cool To See A Girl Doing Enduro & Talking About Her Bike In Detail! 40 Years Ago, You Never Saw That In The Woods. Best Of Luck To You!
Young lady thank you so much for this detailed review. I'm still rolling on my 2012 Beta 498 4T. I had a KTM 300 I bought new in 05 and raced in the desert. At 62 years old I'm looking at getting another 300 and have it down between the Beta and Sherco. Mine will be used for mellow trail riding, dual sport and occasional "hard enduro" sections. I too, like your husband like the ease of working on a simple CDI carb bike.
One of the best dirt bike review videos I've seen. And you are a very talented rider! Being able to ride in that terrain while standing for long periods is impressive!
I own a few KTM's and love TIP's... but also love looking at all sorts of two stroke bikes. Your video was awesome, very intuitive and interesting! Love the explanations and thank you for posting the links of all the accessories - I ended up buying both clutch and brake levers and looking to buy the foot pegs. Great show!!!
Good review! I have been really happy with my Cycra PRO BEND ULTRA W/HCM CLAMP. It took a couple large falls(5-7ft) plus a bunch of little ones before they finally bent enough to hit my levers. And the handle bar clamp has stopped them from ever rotating. I do have the bullet proof threaded inserts for the bar ends if that matters.
Thanks for stopping by my channel! 🙌 I’d love to ride with the Sudbury crew one of these days. Really hoping to do more events next year. We are looking at getting a “moto van” in the near future, if the budget approves of course! Fingers crossed…🤞
@@TheDirtyBirchTrails you swapped the front end on your Xtrainer? I hear that lots of people do that. We are thinking more along the lines of a cargo (painter’s van). Not the newer sprinter style vans. A little too pricey at the moment. Probably the Chevy extended cargo…🤞
I was also looking at the Betas back when I was shopping around. Beta and Sherco are the only two carbureted options available in my area. Thank you for watching!
I'll be doing an overhaul on the bike this winter, which is summertime for you in Australia! Thanks for stopping by, and for leaving your recommendation.
Really good review Rose. I have the Tusk hand guards on my Sherco, they have held up well over the 175 hours I have on the bike and are also inexpensive. Have you considered shaving the seat down so you can touch the ground a little easier in the technical terrain?
I’ll definitely check out the Tusk hand guards. Thanks for the recommendation! I ran a shaved seat on my KTMs for years and finally decided a few years ago to ditch it. It’s nice for touching, but I find that it hinders how I slide up/down the seat when cornering. I like the feel of a straight seat for that reason. I move/slide better on the bike. We have a little practice track that has lots of berms/corners and the stock seat works well for that application. It also forces me to “dab” more carefully etc. And thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my review! I’m a fan of yours, and so is my husband. We really enjoy your content. I’m thrilled that you left a comment on my video! 🙌
Way to go N. Ontario girl from 2022 KTM 300 XC TPI in Ontario. I have to say I preferred the KYB suspension on my former YZ250's for trail riding over the air KTM's. I like the Cycra Ultra Pro CRM, Centre Reach Mount, Complete Racer Pack Handguards. They have held up very well for me.
Awesome!!! I will definitely check out the Cycra line. I ran a set in the past and did like them. You are from Ontario as well! How cool is that! Maybe we will see each other sometime. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your feedback.
I've heard riders complain about fasteners coming loose on a Sherco. I have owned Husky, Beta and KTM and had the same issues. It's just a Euro thing. Once you go overa all the fasteners on the bike when new and tighten everything then issue is solved. That's been my experience.
You should try the SxS Burly Handguards. I know, I know, they're flag guards. But you'll never find a flag guard as strong. Also, consider replacing your brake pedal tip with the TRS Unbreakable Pedal Tip.
Watching your video bc I’m looking at buying a Sherco and you mentioned quadexpert! That’s my local dealer. Did you have a good experience buying from them?
As a smaller rider, I had no issues moving up to this bike. I was previously on a KTM 200 xc-w, which was definitely lighter than my Sherco. However, the suspension and geometry of the Sherco more than makes up for the extra few pounds, in my opinion. I adjusted just fine. It rides way better than my KTM. It might be a tad heavier when I drop it, but I just make sure to stay on top of my fitness.
i chech the Flo web page out and didnt see where it advertised being a liter pull. i also look for a easier pull clutch lever. i have not tried a Clake one easy clutch because its so expensive but it suppose to reduce the pull by 75% one other thing is if i understand some other rider they say under the clutch master cylinder is a number and that is the plumger in it and the pull can be changed by differant numbers. it maybe just a ktm thing but it might be something to look into. also a midwest mountain engineering leaver also reduces pull.
Thank you for your feedback. I know a few people who run the Clake and swear by it. I personally never tried one! I also know someone who loves their Midwest lever. What I like about the Flo lever so far is the shape of it and quick adjustability feature. It’s definitely an upgrade over stock for smaller hands. But I think you’re right, it doesn’t necessarily reduce clutch pull but instead repositions how/where your fingers grab the lever (which helps tremendously).
Hi. Just curious on your elevation and your carb settings for jets and needles. I still have the factory settings at 1000 feet above sea level to 3000 feet.
nice informative video. But... OMG, wear your goggles!!! Broken bones will heal, but not eyes. I will spare you the gory details of what happened to local rider here recently. Sad story.

Great review, looks like a great bike. Long live the Keihin carb!
Yes! These Shercos are amazing machines. Can't go wrong!
Great video. Was nice to see you at algonquin park last weekend.
All the best for you guys. 😊
Watched alot of reviews and yours is the best by far, good insights. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by. 👍
Great job reviewing this bike . Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍

+1 Cycra Pro Bend CRM made in USA. Those Acerbis guards move inward after a crash.
I’ve ran Cycras in the past! I’ll definitely reconsider them as I do recall liking them. Thank you for watching my video and leaving your feedback!
Just bought one. Picking it up soon. Can’t wait! Thanks for the video! 👍👍
Wooohooo!!! You won’t regret it! Amazing machine!
My Brother In Law and His friend just bought two Beta 300rr's There was two Sherco at the shop for sale also.
Good job Rose. Can't wait to ride with you and Jeremy again !!

@@rose.lantaigne Awesome. Love those vans. My Xtrainer is a beast with the KTM fork in the front. Too many torques ! !!

Thanks Rose for this review with lots of details. This Bike is on my Radar as well the Beta 300 RR.
I was also looking at the Betas back when I was shopping around. Beta and Sherco are the only two carbureted options available in my area. Thank you for watching!
Here in Australia there is almost only one brand of hand guards people use - Barkbusters. Can highly recommend them

Nice riding. With the Factory 2022 250 vs the 2023 250.. Many updates?

@@rose.lantaigne Good for you on the seat choice. Ride like they're built.
I agree, modern bikes are close to being perfectly engineered. I'm also a fan of riding the stock setup as much as possible!
Very good comprehensive review. Thanks!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. 👍
Great vid. Loved the balance of feedback trail riding
Glad you enjoyed my video. Thanks for leaving your feedback! 👍

Great/ thorough review 👏🏼 the Shercos are real nice.
Thank you so much for tuning in and subscribing!!! Much appreciated. 👍

Yes, absolutely. Now I’m close to 100 hours and everything is still running tight. Great bike. Thanks for talking the time to watch my video! 👍

Awesome suggestions! Will look into it. Thanks for watching! 👍
Awesome review Rose!!🤘💃
Thank you so much ❤️ your support is always appreciated. 🙏
Watching your video bc I’m looking at buying a Sherco and you mentioned quadexpert! That’s my local dealer. Did you have a good experience buying from them?
Great video thanks for posting
I recommend barkbuster hand gards
I ended up going with Cycra! So far so good. 👍 Thanks for watching!
Great vid. I have a 250 2021 2t factory! Have you ever experienced pipe bang?
Perhaps your jetting isn’t spot on? I recall this happening early spring (cooler temps)…
Great video! Just one question; Did you call the decals Deck•les? I've always heard/pronounced them Dee•Kals. Lol
I'm french so I probably don't pronounce half my words correctly LOL!
Awesome video Rose!
Thanks girl. 🥰 Does it make you want to buy one now? 😅
@@rose.lantaigne she needs something with electric start for sure lol
@@GnarlyChicken agreed! E-start is a must!!!
Very well done, keep up the great work
Thank you for taking the time to watch my review and leaving this comment! Much appreciated.
great Vid Rosie I also have some Sherco's
Awesome!!! Just subscribed.
Great video! Do you have any comments about the weight of the bike? The Shercos are a bit heavier than the other brands.

Hey any idea on how much the Sherco weights without fuel.
Have you fouled any plugs with all that 1st gear slow riding? Just curious 😊
Great video! This is my next bike
You won’t be disappointed! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to watch my video. 👍
What camera are you using and is it mounted on your helmet. The vision is great.
I’m using the GoPro Hero 10. I have it chest mounted using the GoPro “Chestie”. Recorded and uploaded in 4K quality. Thanks for stopping by! 🙌
Great video!! 🤘
Thank you so much for watching it!!! Hope to see you expand on TH-cam one of these days! ❤️
Great video!
Thanks for stopping by my channel. Glad you enjoyed my video!
Did you have any problems with clutch plates ? I read about this as a common issue.
Hi. Just curious on your elevation and your carb settings for jets and needles. I still have the factory settings at 1000 feet above sea level to 3000 feet.
good stuff!
Thanks hun for being the best mechanic and coach in the world 🥰
nice informative video. But... OMG, wear your goggles!!! Broken bones will heal, but not eyes. I will spare you the gory details of what happened to local rider here recently. Sad story.
It’s a risk that I’m fully aware of. Thank you for watching my video and leaving your feedback. 👍
