SWM

Hi guys (and galls) I´ve just got hold of a TLM320 Gunaco (with the long ride seat) . It´s an early one and has a clutch cover (casing) thats different to my other ones as it has a seperate small cover in the casing that can be taken off and just one plastic screw cap. Anyone else seen this sort before ? Cheers Ian

Hi all, The main bearings in my Jumbo are growling suggesting needing new ones. Question is - do I have to split the cases to replace like the bultaco engine? Anything I should look out for whilst replacing these? Thanks in advance! Markg

China money has resurrected the SWM name and the company is in an excellent position to build quality Italian bikes aka Cagiva/Husqvarna. Right now they are in the 4t mode in the enduro range but they are posed to get the rights to bmw/husky 2t motors that GG has the rights to now. Those engines are torque machines. With a bit of gear change SWM would have as good of motor as Beta if not better, because of the husky power valve. The rich history of SWM trials heritage and a bit of product demand should encourage the designers at SWM to fab a trials frame. The company is doing the right thing by using the husky factory in Vareese with the husky workers, frame, marzocci/…

Went to start my TL320 the kickstart is not engaging i am only getting a clicking sound as it tries to engage. Does anybody have any ideas.what has failed.

Does anyone know where I can get swing arm bearings or silent blocks for my 1980 TL? They are od 30mm x id 14mm x 44mm long.

Well, Speedy has gone off to pastures new. I'd like to thank all on here whom have helped in the past when I've had queries or needed helped, when I was but a rookie SWM owner and not the Uber Anorak Owner I later became. Martin at Moto SWM needs thanking too, like Dave at BikeTech GasGas it's great when someones business is also their passion. Honestly getting parts was far easier than for my late Yamaha WRF's I've owned....chatting with some bored and spotty 16 year, who grunts when distracted from the smartphone is not a fantastic experience I'd like to share. cheers guys, all the best

I have a set of OZO shocks on my SWM TL320. They aren’t leaking oil but are very springy/bouncy. They have shrader valves can i fill them with air? If so how much? I know you’re supposed to fill with nitrogen but I have a trials this weekend and no way to get that done right now. But the air would be temporary. Thanks

Here they are. I wait your comments. Salu2.Chefe.

Would anyone be able to identify a Bombardier engine by it's serial number? I'm trying to identify a Bombardier engine that I was told came from a CanAm motorcycle. Its serial number is 75242. I've struck out in my web search. I wasn't sure where to post this query, but decided this forum might be the best because of the SWM/Bombardier connection. Thanks!

Hello I hads some problems getting the front axle off my SWM TL.NW. I just wanted to inspect the front brake as I want to ho to the alpes with the bike and when going downhill good brakes are a must. I could not get out the axle as the speedo drive did not move anywhere, all bolts and nuts where removed! It ended like this that I jacked up the bike really high and pulled the hole front end out (with the stanchions!). This worked very well and I could dismantle the front rear. But agian did not had any possibilitiy to remove the speedo drive, I discoverd (I could not measure that the axle has a notch! and the speedo sits in this notch, so the axle must be made out of …

Hello ppl, does anyone know if Jumbo forks ever left the factory with these overly long blue fork boots ? The boots on mine are much shorter black jobs, possibly not the original dust boots/covers. Refer attached.

Right folks I have been considering a twin shock for some time and I'm thinking of getting one for the summer months to see if I enjoy it more than the Gas Gas I currently have. A combination of getting Bernies book off santa many years ago and SWMs being in short supply when my dad was a dealer for them meant that although I always wanted one I never actually owned an SWM. So if I go the twinshock route the SWM seems a likely candidate I have been offered a frame yokes and a seat /tank unit from a 280 but whats the chances of locating a motor ? will early air cooled aprillia rotax motor fit or the armstrong rotax ? I assume the Gori one will ??
