    280 Piston

    I was told the double ring piston last longer. Performance wise I would think you would get quicker revs from a single ring piston. From what I’ve seen trials and enduro engines Usually have double ring pistons, motocross bikes have the single ring.

    280 Piston

    Anyone have a good source for the 280 pistons? I’m going to rebuild my 1982 TL320 and will probably need a oversized piston. Heard you can use 583 Ski Doo or Sea Doo pistons. I definitely want a two ring piston.
  3. I’m just building my stand from what I have laying around the shop. It’s all cut out and drilled, I’m just waiting for a little warmer weather to weld it up in my unheated shop (my welding is done in the unheated part, my small but warm workshop is where I work on my bikes).
  4. Yeah I got into vintage trials and have a few bikes to rebuild. Plus I bought a new Mig welder over the summer and wanted a good project to do with it. I started cutting the pieces for the stand.
  5. Anyone build there own engine stand? I’ve used the wooden box stand for years. Decided to look into building a metal stand that rotates. Here are a few ideas I’ve found.

    OKO Carburetors

    I wish my SWM was set up as nice as yours! I’ve had no luck finding the Aprilia clutch cover. I will have to look at the cost of the smart carb, would be nice not to worry about jetting.

    OKO Carburetors

    Did you have to cut the stock air box boot down?

    Svm

    How is the single shock mounted to frame and swingarm on the SVM? Does it have a linkage?
  10. I have been reading them. A lot of info! Thanks! I have a newer style clutch cover from a Can Am that has the bigger actuator balls. I’m going to try it this winter. I noticed the other day my bike is leaking oil from the Kickstarter/shifter area. It leaked a couple of years ago and I replaced the seal and o ring. I will replace them again when I install new cover.
  11. I put new shoes and cable, cleaned and lubed everything and they work much better than the Ossa I had but still not great. Any suggestions?
  12. When I bought the bike it had a couple of clutch springs removed. It slipped way too much for my weight. I reinstalled all the springs. It’s not super hard to pull in just not a one finger pull. Thought a hydraulic setup would make it one finger.
  13. I know ATK modified the Magura hydraulic kit to fit the ATK 406 Rotax (similar engine as the 350 SWM Jumbo). Not sure if there set up would work on the 240/280 rotary valve engine.
  14. I think Magura makes a better but more expensive one.
  15. Anyone try one of these for hydraulic clutch? TC-Motor Red 1200mm Line Hydraulic Clutch Handle Lever Master Cylinder For Pit Dirt Bike Motocross Motorcycle
  16. Something like this for a front brake.
  17. I have a good stick welder I haven’t used in a few years, I should use it again. I mostly use my Mig. I have a torch set just need tanks. Thought about getting a tig but too expensive.
  18. Looks great! Are you guys using a Tig welder? I only have a Mig welder and was told the chrome moly frames needed to be tig or bronze welded. Mig welding transfers too much heat.
  19. I’m planning on going through my 1982 TL320 this winter. I’m thinking of making it my semi modern bike. I seen someplace where someone installed a front disk brake. I’ve also seen some hydraulic clutch mods on the SWMs. Electronic ignition and new carburetor. Any other ideas? I have a 1980 TL320 that’s mostly stock (except electronic ignition) that I can use for vintage legal events. The 1982 I would use in modern events.
  20. I had a great Trials last Sunday! It was the last NYACT event of the season. My 1980 SWM worked great! I might also try higher bars or bar risers.
  21. Did SWM have there own shop manual?

    Electronic Ignition

    I also have the electronic ignition from Martin a few weeks ago. I bought the Clubman model, I’m a lower lever rider so I didn’t think I would benefit from the pro model. It works great! Still starts first or second kick, the power woke right up, my timing was off. I’m impressed and happy I bought it! Bike runs consistent now! Easy to install! I am waiting to hear about the lighting coil, but I’m not too worried about it. I’m sure they will come up with something.
