You will warp/blue the steel plates running it with 4 springs. Took about 60-70 hours to happen on my 14 2t, with a modded engine. Swap out three of the springs for the KTM clutch springs, and add a different lever. I use the ARC power lever.

the kyb on my sherco is really stiff at low speed too, especially the fork. i opened compression all the way and rebound is 9 clicks closed. works quite well, i really like the front wheel planted without any bumbs being transfered into my arms. i really don't enjoy wide open rebound. I only tested it on a track, no real freeriding yet, but i usually don't change much for track riding.

My biggest issues with the sherco is that parts seem to break easier than on a KTM/Husq/gasgas, it’s much harder to work on with a bunch of the bolts being in weird hard to reach places and the air filter being wider that the frame when you try to put it in (really annoying because where I live I have to change it every 1-2 rides), and it is quite heavy for someone like me who is 140lbs (63.5kg). The weight doesn’t bother me unless the bike falls upside down or towards the downside of a side hill, I can’t imagine someone who weighs 170lbs (77kg) or more would care about the weight, and it really feels like one of the lightest bikes when you ride it. There’s some other small issues here and there I have with it like the battery location, stock clutch pull, stock e-start easily breaking in crashes, parts availability (in USA), etc. Overall I really like the bike and it’s a joy to ride

Interesting points, Garrett. I do know one industry guy who said some hard enduro riders on Shercos say some parts on the bike tend to break easier compared to other brands. A few owners have said the mapping switch breaks very easily. The stock clutch pull really is an oversight, it should be on par with other brands by now. Removing two springs seems to be the free option... working well for me so far.

Interesting that you think the clutch master is expensive. Did you look for the Sherco part number specifically? It's the same Brembo master that KTM uses. My KTM came with a 10mm piston. I wanted a 9mm. KTM is $250+. Sherco part number was $130! It's exactly the same part. Regarding the peg mod. Have you added additional shims? Because you've turned some of that peg, the thickness of the hacksaw blade, into dust, it can't possibly fit as snug as before the mod. I've been adding lightness to my bike, too, recently. I've switched from my regular bark buster setup (drilled and tapped bars with Cycra Pro Bends with BRP bar clamps) to KTM closed, plastic guards. They're a fraction of the weight and less than half the price. But the levers are still protected. The plastic is pretty trick. It flexes a ton but doesn't snap or crease. I've dumped 2 bikes with them several times now - no damage! And the bars can flex naturally with these guards. I recommend it.

I didn't think to shop around, doh. Possibly Sherco Australia charge quite a bit for the part. Interesting change with the handguards. The Traction eRag guys are doing a test of handguards and said the Cycras were heavy but seem to use a cheaper alloy, it bent far too easily in their tests. But they need to do more testing before making conclusions.
