Here is a good read on the Stockman

Cheers!

 

I'm late to this thread, but I've bought a TM33 and am hoping to fit it to my 2000 Super Sherpa.

It looks like you cut and rewelded the bracket, but I can't tell for certain.

 

Yeah, if I recall correctly, I had to cut and re-weld that cable bracket...
Luckily I have a talented friend with a welding shop.

We took out about 1/4 inch if I remember right.

 

I'll have to get into the project and see what gives w/ the bracket. Thanks for posting the pics and instructions. It's tough to find good info on the sherpa. There just aren't that many out there.

 

Try and get the push cable fitted, flat slides can jam open on full noise some times and rely on the push cable to close them.

 

The TM33 has a really strong slide spring... I did away with the push cable on my KLX250 and my wife's Sherpa because both bikes now have pumpers, and the return spring is really strong. I'm not real worried about a stuck throttle.

 

Hey Kawi Wawi,... I don't want to de-rail this thread but I just posted over in the KLX section regarding Moding a Sherpa with storage. If you get a hankerin' stop by and spill your brain. (I'm surprised to find that there isn't more Sherpa talk around here,.... Kawi's well kept secret I guess.) That goes for anyone else here that might have some good info.

Thanks!

 

Thread revival.

I recently mounted my bicycle rack on my Sherpa:





The rack works quite well, the pelican case have plenty of room for bike shoes, helmet, gloves, tools, change of clothes and other misc. item.

The bicycle does not obscure the rear view, nor the brake light & turn signals, not that anyone is likely to miss you on the road while carrying a bicycle on the back of your moto. It turns more heads than riding some exotique steed, even though I'm on a Sherpa.

Current configuration, bike rack does not accommodate mt. bike with front disc brake caliper, my current mt. bike weighs quite a bit more than my road bike anyway.

 

Hello all
I have built a couple of 300 big bore kits for the super sherpa if any one is interested you can contact me at b_Jblue@sbcglobal.net

This is an old thread I know, but it happens to be timely for me. A little while back, I picked up a 2000 Super Sherpa for my girlfriend Joyce.



Joyce is an experienced rider, and put thousands of miles on a Yamaha XT225. The XT was getting long-in-the-tooth though, so the Super Sherpa replaced it. Joyce could handle more power, but she's small and short, so she can't handle a heavy or tall bike well. I decided to turn the Sherpa into a mini adventure bike for her.

The first step is to give it some more power. It does OK for her stock, but more couldn't hurt. I got in touch with Bill Blue, and sent him my cylinder. He whipped up a 300cc big-bore kit for it utilizing a KLX300 piston.



The cylinder was sleeved and bored, and Bill included a forged Wiseco piston.

Here's the stock piston compared to the 300cc piston. The difference is 6mm.






This is where I'm at right now. Next, I'm going to work on either rejetting the stock carb are getting a pumper, and then make a rear rack and side bag mounts for it.

It will be a little bit before I can ride it to see the difference with the 300cc kit, but I wanted to show another example of Bill's work. I'm very happy with the kit.
