    Svm

    How is the single shock mounted to frame and swingarm on the SVM? Does it have a linkage?
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. I think Magura makes a better but more expensive one.
  7. 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
  8. Something like this for a front brake.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  15. My modified 80/81 foot pegs.
  16. On my 1980/81 that I'm rebuilding. I moved the new foot pegs as low and far back as I could, I used my MIG welder. I didn't add any extra metal. I bought these pegs from Martin at MotoSWM. For some reason I'm not allowed to download anymore pictures.
  17. This is a great idea too! Do you notice much of a difference in width?
  18. Thanks for the welding tips! I’m just a self taught welder so any advice is great. This does make my decision when I upgrade my welder on what I should get. I’m also going to look into continuing education welding classes.
  19. I looked on the ATK USA site parts diagrams and those parts are on there except the round part that fits inside the cover.
  20. Any of the Can Am Rotax should be the same lever. I’m not sure if they had alloy?
  21. I didn’t realize the frame was chrome moly, I don’t have a tig welder. I guess I better have the shop weld it.
  22. Thanks for the info and pictures! This is awesome information! I’ll have a few projects this winter! How does the bike sound compared to stock?
