September 23, 201213 yr 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 two pieces? Anywany I tried to dismantle the axle too but had no luck here. Any Tipps in this case? PS.: BTW: the brake pads where OK, I just greased the actuator and cleand the hole unit and I was astonishd how they build the front brake setup, the unit is very light and the complete construction I would have expected mounted to a small moped but not a motorcycle ... PPS: I have mounted the complete front end again, wheel with stanchions at once, - what a crazy job -, I do hope someone has the answer here, I don't want to do this again ... .
September 23, 201213 yr Hi Patrik SWM (with Marzocci forks) has 2 diameters but is one piece. Just keep spraying it with release oil, I have replaced mine with a spacer for a similar reason. I always use Coppaslip on axels. Ross
