Sherco SE 250 Factory 200+ Hour - Long Term Review
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
After riding Sherco SE250 Factory for more than 200 hours i learned much about this bike so i think i can make really honest long term review. As you may know i made move from KTM EXC250 TPI to Sherco SE250 with Carb and i was really happy about that because it removed all possible problems in future with TPI system.
Sherco has proven good quality what is really surprising to be honest i didn't expected wheel bearings to last more than 200 hours. Only what i dont like on this bike is clutch desing (basket, inner hub) i think KTM made better job on this part. I didn't had any mechanical issues on my Sherco, all problems what i had it was fixable very fast and easy.
My current jetting for 300m altitude : 38,170 n8re
Fix for Clutch: REKLUSE RMS-4813 CRF450
I think i proven Sherco is really good made because i did really everything on this bike, full wide open riding for 10minutes (erzberg rodeo prolog) then extrem races and much more. And at the end i didn't had problems, only problem on this bike for me was clutch plates but finally on 2020 models they fixed this. And if you want even more better clutch plates you can get it from recluse for honda crf450 it will fit in sheco basket without any mods because sherco and honda share same design.
I think i forgot much good things to say about this bike like perfect balanced chassis, soft engine feeling, stable suspension, light bike feel, and much more. If you have any questions please ask me in comments !

Great review man. I believe it's honest and right on point. I feel the same way about my 20 300.

Please make a video about the piston change, i'm curious about what the piston and the cylinder looks like after 200 hours.

What sort of pipe did you go with as a replacement and what were the results power wise? Thanks in advance, great review btw oh one last question did you ever flatten batteries or get stuck on a trail with battery failure? :)
Awesome video thanks! why did you choose 250 and not 300? I am buying a sherco and i don't know witch one. (just sold my ktm xc 250 2018 carburated)
Seriously thinking of one of these or a beta 200rr race edition, female rider, 5 foot 7, 58kg, riding regular enduro and hare and hounds races. Did you have any electrical issues or issues with the electric start? How is the bottom end of the sherco, I've had a brief ride of a 2019 Sherco factory 250 and was very impressed. How was the weight when picking the bike up in technical terrain? My last bike was a 2019 ktm 150 xc-w, I find myself wanting more torque.
Thanks for video. 200 hrs on piston is ok if you do only slow technical riding, I am just now changing piston after 118hrs on my 2018 and its about time. I raced 2.5hrs hare and hounds from 94hrs(first owner used bike for green laneing only), last race total mudder, bike was running hot(no fan on mine). Blow by on piston and slight groove in nikasil near powervalve, so getting new coating from Aptec matching perfectly new piston. My genuine Sherco piston does not have dark coating like vertex and was 135euro incl rings and pin. I mix motul800 1:60. 60hrs max on piston for me now.

thanks for info, i raced erzberg rodeo with my bike but i have fan, bike did just two time lose water after getting really hot but it was in summer when i did come crazy training in forest with full time on clutch.
Hey! Im thinking about buying a SE-R 125 racing. Do you think it will be the same? Like a good bike, and worth the money?

good review, mine sherco 300 se factory is like 90 hours and runs also perfect. I had to change factory jetting as well. No problem with clutch. Map switch went out though after few hours and starting bike sucks compared to KTM. is your pipe also black from oil after each ride? Mine is regardless which oil I use.

When you buy the new bike are you going to stay with the 250 or are you going to go to the 300? I'm riding a Husky 250 now but I am thinking I might move to a 300 Sherco soon
@TheDirtbikeRider

Grenat vidéo. Thanks. One question for you. Why 250 instead of 300 for hard enduro? Enough torque at low revs?
@TheDirtbikeRider

It’s better to have 300, but 250 is more fun to ride. 300 is making riders more better because you don’t need good skills with clutch like on 250

After 200 hours on my SE (2 Str.) Sherco 300 2017', riding a lot of extreme too, I have very similar experience and maintenance issues, even less than you, that I consider very acceptable; parts are cheap and quick delivered (France is easy, ok). Same first genuine piston ! Maintenance is really simplified, and I am always back home ! Cheaper than KTM for sure. Will buy a new one soon in 300 again. Enjoy !
