• Position the crankshaft on the V and place a
dial gauge [A] against the connecting rod
head.
A B
• Push B the connecting rod head towards the
gauge, then in the opposite direction.
• The difference between these two
measurements corresponds to the radial
play.
Radial play of the connecting rod head :
Standard : 0.015 mm – 0.025 mm
Tolerable limit : 0.06 mm
If the radial play is greater than the tolerated limit, the crankshaft must be replaced

❱❘ Checking the crankshaft run out

• Measure the lateral play of the connecting
rod head [A] ;

Lateral play of the connecting rod head :

Standard : 0.8 mm - 1 mm
Tolerable limit : 1.25 mm
If the play is greater than the tolerated limit, the
crankshaft must be replaced

 CHECKING ENGINE COMPONENTS
❱❘ Piston
• If you want to install a used piston, check the following points :
• Skirt : look for any marks (tightening). Light marks can be removed with a soft stone.
• Segment grooves : Segments must not get stuck in their groove. These can be cleaned with an
old segment or emery cloth (400 grit).
• Segment retainers must be tightly held and must not be worn.
• Segments : Check the condition and gap spacing.

❱❘ Gap spacing
• Thread the segment into the cylinder and position it with the piston (about 10 mm from the
top edge of the cylinder).
• Using a spacer, the gap spacing is measured.
Gap spacing :
Standard 0.35-0.45mm ,
Max 0.65mm.

WARNING
If the gap is greater than indicated, check the condition of the cylinder and the piston. If their
dimensions are within the tolerance range, replace the segment

❱❘ Piston pin check

Piston pin diameter piston pin hole diameter
Standard 17,995-17,998 mm Standard : 18.006-18.010mm
Tolerable limit 17,962 Tolerable limit : 18.08

❱❘ Checking the wear condition of the cylinder

• To detect cylinder wear, the bore is measured with a bore comparator at about 10 mm
from the top edge of the cylinder. Measure from both direction to identify any potential
ovality.

PRESENTATION OF THE SOFWARE
2.1- Connection with Keyless system
Sherco had a Keyless system on its motorcycles which allows the bike to switch on without
any key and switch off automatically after 30secondes of non-use.
This last point blocks the diagnostic, this is why it is necessary to follow the steps down
below before doing it.

1. Remove the plug (1) from the connector (2) (located on the rear sub frame – on the right
part of the bike).

• If a default appears:

• You can get the details of the default by clicking on the default display :

• Record the defaults and exit the menu by clicking on this icon

Note:
1- Transient default/permanent default: a transient default becomes permanent after a
certain number of engine cycles of the following components (injector, fuel pump, etc). For a
permanent default to disappear it takes 40 cycles without the engine default reappearing.
2- Fan Default : If there is no fan installed on the bike, there will always be a rise in the fan
default code (P0485)

Return to the menu « reading default codes »

Check and make sure that the defaults are the same as before. Check/replace the
defective parts. Check all of the connections.

3.4 Test the actuators

In addition to reading default codes you can also check some of the system components:

1- Ignition coil
When you launch the ignition coil test, the following message will appear :

49 250/300 SE
SYNERJECT) INJECTION SYSTEM INSTRUCTION MANUAL

The system is not able to detect an ignition coil failure with the engine stopped. The test results will be
the same if the coil is faulty or not. Therefore, when testing the ignition coil make sure that the
engine makes the correct sound for a properly functioning ignition coil.

2- Fan

For the fan perform a standard test. If there is a default it twill appear as a classic default

3- Exhaust valve learning.
