As I said before, if you remove the headlight switch and splice the wires together anytime the master switch is on the headlight is on. So it makes it pretty simple to avoid leaving the master switch on an running the battery down. My Sherco has over 100 hours on it and I have never left the master switch on by accident.

Why do I feel like a kid on Christmas morning when I see a new Dirt Bike Channel video waiting for me to watch? Great job

truth seeker I guess an electric start would be nice but I feel like every motorcycle should have a kick start even huge street bike s

I love your videos Kyle, you do a great detailed review of the bikes and love how you go right into the detail of the bike. Keep up the good work :)

I've never heard of them but I like what you say about them I'm your exact height and weight.. thanks for your solid review and not wasting our time with showing off your personal life like most videos do

I completely agree with you about the kickstarter. Especially on the bikes with higher compression (like a CRF450X), you can't bump start them so a backup kickstarter is very handy in the case of an electronic issue.

Great review! I had actually never even heard of Sherco before your contest. Looks solid.

Kyle, I got back into dirt bikes about the same time as you did. I, like you, love 2-stroke single track bikes. My current ride is a 2014 Husaberg TE250. I love your channel, keep the great content coming. Bill

couldnt agree more on the kick start, stupid to remove it on a trail/enduro bike where it could leave you stuck in the middle of now where

The new 2018 beta's have a lithium battery stock. The kickstart is also an optional extra. They can also be fitted at a later date with no mods to the engine. You are right though kickstarts are a must.

Still loving my 2015 300 SE-R. Parts are becoming more and more available here in Western Canada!

Best bike I've ever ridden in love with it 😍

Well put, the Sherco's are a great option. The review is on point. I prefer the 300-2T over their 300-4T.

I see you talk about adding some better grips to help with the vibration. I've got a 2017 Sherco 250 SE-R. What grips did you use?? Thanks! Great channel!

Kyle you praised the roominess of the cockpit. How does it compare in that regard to the 2017 KTM XCW?

You should also test/review a gasgas!

Hello, may be now it’s not so actual, but I chosing new bike, and sherco se300 factory 2021 very nice, and and thinking between sherco, beta and ktm. What do you think, what bike will be better for not professional rider?

good review i am considering a sherco ,but i think the 450 for more cross country type of racing ..Thanks some good points raised ..

Nice moves bro...😉 Totally agree on the kickstarter,,,, at least give us the option to put one on there... Not a lot of Sherc's up here in western MT, but you may have sold a few more with this......... Keep living the dream, and keep us posted.... Thanks Scotty

thanks Kyle! awesome! thank you.

not sure if this has been said yet. but when you discharge a battery below 6 volts, most chargers will not charge it. To get it to charge, simply tie 2 batteries together (a fully charged and the discharged one) for 20-30 min, then it will charge right up. Can't tell you how many batteries I've saved in this manner.

Or use a conventional (old school) charger until the voltage is high enough to charge it.

Can you pls do a CRF 250r motocross bike review, and how it handles on the trails???

Love your vids kyle🖒 Random suggestion for you. Could you do a test on an older model bike ie. 2010 ktm 300 or any of the other xc bikes from 05-10. Its more for guys who dont have the money for anything fresher. I know you done the Cr but it was an mx bike. It would be interesting to see how much the bikes have moved forward also🖒 keep up the great work

Just for others interested, the power switch is fixed on newer models where there is no power switch as power turns on when started and turns off after 30 secs from turning off motor.

As far as parts go, I'm still waiting on parts from my dealer here in Central Pa, from a year ago. But I can go to Sherco Offroad''s website, order the parts I need, and they are at my door in 2 to 3 days. Clay is the best to work with, and if I buy another brand it will be because of my dealer, but I will miss the ability and convenience to get parts. That parts system is the best.

This makes it hard - KTM 300 XC, XC-W, Beta 300 RR, Sherco SE-R. I too think a dirt bike without a kick start is stupid unless you are on a track and really need to lose the weight. Any clarifications on the best 300 2 stroke? I don't race, but ride desert, and single track technical at times. Thanks,

How many hp does the sherco 300 factory 2 strokes 2016 have?

Great statement: "When do the dealers have any parts?" No lie.

Im in South Africa....do you give bikes away here also ?? HOLY MOLY !!! That is one lucky dude who got that SHERCO!!! :)

Dear dirt bike channel I know this is a old with you but I'd like to see the review between the Gas Gas EC the sherco and the Beta RR which would you buy

My ridding buddy has the same bike and he loves this bike i also share a video on my little channel about this bike preforming in the woods

Kyle, I appreciate your site and support you on Patreon. This was a nice review on the Sherco. My only real complaint with your videos is the sense that it is someone else's problem to deal with trail maintenance. I wish that you would set the example of cutting out downed trees you don't jump in the trail rather than riding around them. We are really struggling in the West to keep access to public trails and going off trail on your videos just adds grist to the mill of those that want to close these trails. JMO

Downed trees aren’t “problems” to riders, they’re just added obstacles kinda like creeks

I believe they are using KYB forks instead of WP now. In my opinion that is a good thing.

I really agree with the kick starter they need to make all bikes with them and leave it I love my electric start on my 15 250sxf but when the battery is dead it drives me nuts that I can't kick it so I can still ride

Great review! You're putting the magazines out of business. Good luck with everything.

Thank you for adding kilograms when showing the weight. :)

great review as always very honest, what i would do to put my mind at ease is carry a usb power pack to jump start it if it did go flat on me in a bad spot. also what the price on genuine parts compared to ktms? cheaper more expensive

I've seen in a lot of your videos about the missing Kickstarter which I agree kinda sucks but there is a very easy solution to this... Carry a mini jump pack they weigh nothing and they also have USB ports for your cellphone incase it dies also. My 17 yz450fx didn't have one and my new sherco doesn't either but that jump pack is super handy and very cheap.

The way that motor looks in the frame where they going to put a Kickstarter ? It looks set way back in the frame to me. I run a rekluse in one bike and I can't bump start I need my kicker !! One time the shaft snapped off that's worse than a dead battery on a bike with rekluse .

I hate when bike manufacturer's remove the kick starters.

The reason for not using a lipo is because the lead cell batteries are the most stable, so they can be submerged no problem. Try that with a lipo and you got a 50/50 chance of that batterey going to shit

The combination of no kickstart and the master power switch IS a deal breaker for me. The likelihood of needing a kickstarter seems very high, and I don’t like surprise long hikes and leaving 9k in the woods.

Loss or gain of a few ounces on a kick starter is no big deal. KEEP THE KICKER!!!

Let's kickstart a 'Bring Back the Kickstarter' campaign! It's a bit audacious to leave the safety net off of a vehicle that can potentially leave you 50 miles from nowhere if things go sideways... Or a little switch is left on while you're eating lunch.

can a kick starter be added later ......that is something that really turns me off a bike. no one wants to carry jumper cables on a ride. so frustrating that everyone is doing this!

I'm impartial to Sherco. Watch your videos of them, but I for some reason can't get interesting in the Sherco bikes. You did, however cause me to sell my KTM 250XC and 300XC-W, and buy a Beta 300RR
