I have about 6000 miles on my sherpa. I love how small it is in the
woods and the fact that in a mud hole I can just walk it on through
because of the low seat height. Sometimes I wish the handle bars were
a little higher though. I am about 5'11" tall. I went through a set
of rear brake pads and bearings at 4000 miles. I know it looks dorky
having the front fender low, but I like it because it seems to work
pretty well. I added some halogen fog lights below the main headlamp
they are wired into the high beam power. They help out a lot,
especially in the woods. I replaced the tires at 5300 miles with chen
shin. There are few tires that will fit the small width rims, and I
decided on these because of the good knobbies and super low cost.
They are much softer than the trailwings that came on the bike. I
know they will have to be replaced sooner, but two sets costs the
same as one of the oem bridgestones. They give a softer ride as well.
I do wish that the bike some more power and supposedly there is a
dynojet in development. Or maybe I should just beat it up and then
have it bored out and replated. I love how quiet the bike is, a nice
feature with respect to respecting others in the woods. The police
have not been after me like they were back in high school on two
strokes. Another thing that kind of sucks about the bike is the way
that the turn signals are mounted to the frame. The metal is formed
so that when you wipe out the force is released near where the mount
is welded to the frame for rear and headlight cage for the front. I
have a feeling that during one of my fixit bending sessions it will
have catastrophic failure.
any super sherpa owners out there?
