2023 Sherco 500SEF Factory review︱Cross Training Enduro

http://www.crosstrainingenduro.com Our review of the 2023 Sherco 500SEF Factory! Three of us recently rode the Sherco 500SEF Factory for two days. I love a big bore thumper 500cc dirt bike for open tracks. You just ride in that meaty mid-range power and fly! So here is our 2023 Sherco review. These are 2022 models but the only change for 2023 is injected plastic molds. I love a big bore thumper for open tracks. You just ride in that meaty mid-range power on 500cc dirt bikes and fly! Into enduro riding? See all our dirt bike videos for dirt riding tips. This is the advantage of 500cc enduro engines. The 2023 Sherco 500SEF Factory is less snappy compared to their 450cc cousins. They don't rev so quickly. Our channel now had hundreds of dirt bike videos covering reviews, and enduro riding techniques. Search our channel for dirt riding gear too. Our dirt riding tips also include wider topics such as the best dirt riding boots. And you get extra grunt. If you aren't racing, it's a great combination on the 2022 Sherco 500SEF Factory and 2023 model too. Let's start with the known issues. The 2023 Sherco 500SEF Factory is much better than my previous 'thumpers', but I would probably use a G2 Throttle Tamer to make it even smoother. For open tracks? These Shercos are from an Australian tour company, their entire fleet now has several thousand hours of engine time. Problems? The tour manager scratched his head and eventually said this 2023 Sherco 500SEF Factory radiator overflow pipe has a sharp curve and they are worried the rubber might eventually crack. No problem. But I would want to soften that throttle for gnarly terrain. Sherco ergonomics tend to suit short and mid-sized riders. The 500SEF is no exception. Apart from that, their Shercos have been flawless. I contacted the guy who helped to create our Sherco two-stroke known issues vid. He said the modern 2023 Sherco 500SEF four strokes are problem-free. Years ago, the early models were apparently a bit heavy. Some riders didn't like the weird ergonomics. And the engines were a bit under-powered. But it seems those days are long gone. What didn't I like with the 2022 Sherco 500SEF Factory? In the past, I did not like the snappy throttle response of big four-strokes with fuel injection. A steering stabiliser was fitted which raised the handlebars so I was quite comfortable. But I would probably add handlebar risers too to feel completely comfortable. Similar to my two-stroke Sherco, you can reduce the compression setting to zero which makes a big difference. Another tip for Shero owners is to remove 10cc of fork oil from each leg. I haven't tried this yet. But I am told this makes the Factory KYB suspension very plush. If you like bling, you will be happy with the Factory model. It's interesting to see that the 2022 Sherco 500SEF Factory models are so popular that Sherco is dropping some of the base Racing models. What did we like? It would be interesting to try an adventure conversion with the Sherco 500SEF. A big fuel tank. Comfy seat. Cush drive hub. Extra oil capacity. A windscreen. It might be an interesting project for the future. Have you ridden or owned the Sherco 450SEF or 500SEF? We are keen to hear what you liked. And what you didn't like! Let us know in the comments. The lack of known issues is a great start. The power delivery is brilliant. The big Sherco handles well and feels quite light. With the steering stabiliser it felt very steady at higher speeds. I don't know if it would feel twitchy at high speed without the stabiliser. The KYB suspension works better the harder you ride with this 2023 Sherco 500SEF. At slower speeds it can feel a bit harsh. Radiator fan, Radiator expansion tank, Akrapovic exhaust, Brembo calipers, Galfer brake discs, AXP bashplate, Selle Dalla Valle seat cover, Neken soft foam bar pad, Funnelweb air filter, KYB suspension , In-mold, durable graphics.One of the best things is the apparent reliability. As mentioned, this tour company have several thousand hours across their fleet now with zero problems.
