Hello all, Just picked up a Nice Swm 320TL .Rode it in a trial today and was well impressed.After owning Honda tlr,s Fantic,s Majesty,s The Swm is a very under rated bike, it steers well goes well and looks good and boy it grips!!!!! The only gripe i have is the forks top out ,is there a fix for this ?? Heavy clutch,but after talking to Martin At Swm moto careful adjustment and a domino lever its not that bad .Roll on the next trial !! Scorpa250

Which forks are fitted ?

Marzocchi ,they look fine but Bang when topping out .

Regards Scorpa250

Push 'em hard in a tight corner and they'll tuck under. Guaranteed.

There's a thin washer at the bottom of the damper rod which can become bent, this allows the oil past to quickly and causes topping out.

Easy to fix, you will need a rod to go down the centre of the forks with a tappered end to stop the internals rotating as you turn the allan bolt at the bottom of the forks to allow dismantling.

Cheers for that B40RT will strip the forks down and have a look .

Simpler way of doing this........slacken off the top fork nut, slide the complete leg from the yokes, turn it upside down and use a T handled allen key to undo the damper rod bolt (if you feel it turning the rod, apply some downward pressure to the allen key, and the spring will stop the rod from turning)
