One of my sons got a 2022 Sherco 250 SE.. We ride 4000 to 10,000 feet. Adjusted the float, 38 pilot. 160 main jet, NECJ needle in 2nd slot from top. For Utah these settings will work for you Kyle. Dropped the front sprocket 1 tooth.. No spooge out the exhaust. Bike runs epic.
Kyle brushing up on your French now! I bought the 2022 Sherco 250 SE for my wife and the 300 SE for myself and I have to admit the low end grunt on the 250 is like the low end I had on my 300 KTM's both carb and TPI models. If I had of been able to ride the two bikes before the purchase I would have gotten two 250's. I also am 6 ft tall and the cockpit is cramped for me, I love the bars so I just got the bar riser kit from Enduro Engineering and added 15mm riser on and put the Fastway pegs in the lower position and for me feels great. I also called over to Motoxperts and got some jetting info from Cameron (there are 3 Cameron's in the shop, confusing), what a well run shop and their customer service is impeccable. If you want to make it feel like a TPI bike, more linear power delivery go with Smart Carb or Lectron, for me I love the pure Keihin carb feel. Kyle, I am in Montrose area of CO and also going to be in the Taylor Park area so 7-10K altitude jetted #2 position on N1EH needle, 160M and 38P. Looking forward to some more reports.
The reason the 250s from Sherco feel like a 300 and that they sign off sooner is because it has the 36mm Keihin Carb. As opposed to the 38mm or the 39mm throttle bodies that come on ktms
I am always amazed at your ability to talk calmly while riding without sounding winded and exhausted like 99% of us would if doing the same lol. Looking forward to hearing more about this bike and brand in particular in time.
I’ve got a 2022 Sherco 300 2T that I also got from MotoExperts and have about 40 hours on it. I’m 5”10 and the ergo’s are perfect for me. I planned on getting new foot pegs, but after riding it I don’t see any reason to spend the extra cash. Don’t automatically buy into the narrative that the Sherco’s ergo’s are cramped. Try it for a couple hours first and decide for yourself. I rode KTM products for the past 3 years and enjoyed every minute of it, but I have to say I enjoy the Sherco at least as much.
I'm 6'2", way more cramped on my Sherco than any KTM. I measured my '22 against my '19 KTM and the footpegs are about 1" farther forward and bars are 1" lower. So yes more cramped. If that matters to you is a different story, but at my height that is a big fat yes. Lowered pegs and a higher bend bar gets it to where I need it.
@@mack73 You illustrate my point perfectly. At 6’2” you’re more cramped on your KTM than I am on the Sherco at 5’10”. At least half of the male population of the world is 5’10” or less and shouldn’t automatically assume that the ergo’s on the Sherco are cramped for them because the heard it on UA-cam. Same thing with the flat foot pegs. They should try it first before making modifications.
@@alang3991 Absolutely. I agree 100%. I think the point is if you fit fine on a KTM you are going to be more cramped on a Sherco regardless of your height. It is different and I think the point is just an 'FYI' for those in the 6' + range will probably need to do some work. Certainly no big deal, but a couple extra hundred if it's a problem
I’ve got a 2021 250 SE that has a FMF Fatty pipe that really livened up the top end of the bike. With the stock gnarly it did feel much more like the 300. I like the 250 Sherco with the fatty pipe, seems like a better blend of the 250 fun, but still very torquey.
I own a 2018 SE250 Factory. Been a great bike. Doesn't necessarily like the real snotty stuff(needs a heavier flywheel for that), but I have changed the rear sprocket to a 51t. I use a SmartCarb which is great for when you have to start the bike halfway up a steep hill (after loosing it) I have had that bike upside down and it still starts! The jetting comes from factory on the rich side (Great that your dealer Kyle got this sorted during the predelivery) There are also regular ECU updates available. Shercos come with a 220W stator, meaning that you have around 150W for lighting.(night rides are real different!) Top-end rebuild at around 100 hours. Suggested bottom end at around 200 hrs, although I have been reading of a SE300 that hasn't been touched in 19,000kms(12,000miles) except for pistons and rings. The common question is "what oil ratio do I run?" and the answer is 50:1. Unless you're racing, the Motul 800 will foul spark-plugs. Better to use something a little cheaper like Motul 510/710 which also has a lower flashpoint. For gearbox oil you can't beat ATF type F for a bang-for-buck oil. (Each to their own though)
I have a 2009 250 XC that I is amazing. Gnarly pipe, quiet core silence. Smart Carb, Factory Connection Suspension and more stuff. I’m an old fat slow guy who couldn’t wish for a better ride.
They sell lower FLO pegs at MotoXperts. Those plus 3/4" bar risers made my 250SE feel great. I am 6'3" though. Also put a 13 tooth front sprocket on and it climbs like a mountain goat. Not that it was bad with the 14.
It's close.. not perfect, but pretty close. Need to massage it a touch with the airscrew and I might change the needle clip position. So freaking cool MotoXperts did that before I got the bike. They do that for all their 2 stroke customers. Above and Beyond!
Slap a Lectron Billetron on it. Job done. So impressed with their products. No need for efi. Do the above and have all the bottom end you need plus huge over rev, better fuel consumption and no jetting worries. Works for me.
Where is this trail I am in California I ride with some awesome guys my opinion of your riding is I think you’re a very good rider we all know the cameras lie about the trail and makes everything look easy
You need to jet it right, when you get it right, switch the power lever to the right and hang on. I have the 250 and it is way faster than my sons husky 300. I have been on KTM since 1996. I been on my 250 since January, will not go back to KTM.
Kyle, someone is pretending to be you on telegram. They are using your logo and trying to get information from people. Have sent you an email with details. Thanks Andy
Need different terrains, I want to know how it does through a poof rut, Sand whoops, hard whoops, Braking bumps, deep square edges and moab type rock gardens. Test the power with a long sand climb, and the handling on a turn track. That's the stuff I want to know, dont really care about the pegs. It's too bad you havent done these simple tests with all of these bikes you purchased over the years to give you a baseline.
Because he doesn't live in that area and their is literally hundreds of tests from every big name testing companies testng in that terrain. Where kyle tests and rides is a breath of fresh air compared to all the Socal hardpack/rocky desert which is littered all through the internet it's what makes him unique.
@@tcmx712 I see tests on track. And some dudes do some shots of riding in the desert then talk nonsense for 30 minutes. I think Kyle is up to the task of doing what these other guys aren't. Gabe at torture test magazine does it the best, but he specializes in old budget bikes. Josh knight is great but he specializes in riding and racing techniques. Kyle has a unique opportunity to be very specific to a new bike on lots of different terrain, with times to show how he does on each bike, in his own style, that's what I want. Would you not want to see what bike goes up a sand hill the best out of the class of 250s, 300s, etc. Which one boils over first with no fan? Which one does a turn track the best? Which one gets the heart rate up the highest on the same course? Which one hops a log the best? Climbs a rocky hill the best? I would eat that up. I cant understand why you wouldnt?
@@billypulsipher7313 nope I'd rather watch him ride the mountains and single track because like I said there is plenty of Socal vids out there. Plus do you expect Kyle to drive interstate all the time to just test how a bike goes up a sand dune??? All those later points he can do in the mountains aswell so I don't understand why he needs to ride terrain that's been done to death. There's hardly any testing of different bikes in the mountains so he should stick with that

I have a good friend that runs all sorts of marathons etc and just gets blasted riding his bike. So you are not wrong!
Me yesterday: I'm thinking about picking up a 250 sherco as my next bike. Today: oh hell yeah dbc review/ride!

Kyle,
Sharp looking and sounding bike. Thank you for taking time to film, edit, and post this video.
@DM Dirtbike_Channel on telegram try your bullshit scam on someone else!
My dealer in montrose Colorado has jetted all my bikes for altitude.
Davis Service Center Rocks!
Hanging for the next vid of the 250! 🤙
Sweet bike. Been enjoying my 22 SE 300 a full year now. Looking forward to possible big changes in 2024 and see if they go TBI
Nice!
Sounds like it's jetted spot on compared to other shercos I've seen on vids.
It's close.. not perfect, but pretty close. Need to massage it a touch with the airscrew and I might change the needle clip position. So freaking cool MotoXperts did that before I got the bike. They do that for all their 2 stroke customers. Above and Beyond!
Would you rather have a 24 ktm 250xc over this?
Love the vids! Keep it up
Thanks! Will do!
Great video and riding !
Love my 300 se, love sherco:)
@DM Dirtbike_Channel on telegram hi from isreal mate
I love my 250
First thing I do on a Sherco is change the handle bar out. I run the ProTaper KTM/Suzuki Factory bend.
Slap a Lectron Billetron on it. Job done. So impressed with their products. No need for efi. Do the above and have all the bottom end you need plus huge over rev, better fuel consumption and no jetting worries. Works for me.
@DM Dirtbike_Channel on telegram Hi Karl, what do you mean by direct message? Thank you.
@DM Dirtbike_Channel on telegram Hi Karl, how tall are you please? I keep hearing Sherco bikes are cramped.
@DM Dirtbike_Channel on telegram is this a scam? No reply hence the concern.
Does that bike have a Map Switch.?
Where was it set at.?
Always great vids.
@DM Dirtbike_Channel on telegram sure. I saw live giveaway. It went good.
Sweet 🔥

Just picked up my 23 se300 last night..taking it out today for a rip..🤙🤙🤙
Nice. Enjoy your bike
@@jamesgeorgevellavella1961 thanks mate..
You should check out a TM
Nice bike. I have a 21 SE factory 250. They are great bikes..
Where do you get replacement parts from? I’ve got a 2014 sefr 300. Can’t find a replacement left radiator for it.
Still enjoy it ?
Is this better that a yz 250 ? Quality wise one thing I can say is that the flat pegs would be better since im flat footed …
Nice yz 250 👌
I wonder if you could just shim the back of the pegs to camber them in more.
Nice bike was my second choice to TM
Yeah, TM would be cool, but very niche....
👍👍
Plug your hiking friend.
Dude how about a little heads up? I was like 2 miles ahead of you by the time I realized you stopped to get a drink of water.
Haha, all I needed to do was put my bite valve in my mouth and then keep going!
We got cows 😂
You need to jet it right, when you get it right, switch the power lever to the right and hang on. I have the 250 and it is way faster than my sons husky 300. I have been on KTM since 1996. I been on my 250 since January, will not go back to KTM.
Still enjoy it ? I’m looking at getting a 2017 250 factory
Aw dang it - looks good but I don’t want a “killer”…
