At last a few more YouTube vids of the 650 SWMs: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqfQAPLSlWA View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13TH23tmqPA View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ncXh3OjC34 View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EDAI9JT2aY
AJP does. They asked me (and I'm sure many others) about the 610 motor. We told them over and over and under the seat of rear filler is not good on an adventure bike and they have moved it. They all ride, right out of the back of the shop. They have many testers and respect and react to valid opinions. They responded to my EFI and other input. They listen to the US importers feeds back, visit him and really want to understand the product and various market needs and make quick changes to address these needs. They are doing well because of it. Great company. I wanted to be more involved but it was not in the cards for me at this time.
SWM is working again http://www.swm-motorcycles.it/en/ About new superdual http://www.swm-motorcycles.it/en/models/adventure/superdual/
This could be the mid size Adventure tourer that so many have been waiting for.. ever since the KTM 640 Adventure went away at least. If they can keep the price under $10k with our without the luggage (I prefer soft bags anyway), I'd slap my money down
Super Dual is around 7000 euro in Italy without luggage. All parts (including the gastank) should fit on all Husqy 630's.
Wouldn't mind having one of these either: http://www.swm-motorcycles.it/en/models/classic-bikes/gran-milano-440/
Looks like they might of fixed the airbox lid problem of getting more air across the filter .Check out the bulge ,sort of like what a member here did with his custom lid.
Had a chat with a bloke that was talking with a guy with direct connection with the factory.Long story short is they know about the 630 weaknesses ,clutch etc and have fixed them.Turns out husky had no $$ and couldn't do anything about it at the time.Also pretty cool that guys who built the bike still work there. My husky is going off to get a mold taken off it for a possible aftermarket fairing for the 650 before they hit our shores,fingers crossed it is ready when they get here .Looks like here in oz they are going to offer a adventure pack.
TE630 and Terra 650 have the same headlight, I've had them in my hand. The headlight bucket and shroud are also the same. .
Hehe, the guy with the suitcase on the right tested it a few weeks later: source: https://www.facebook.com/swm.benelux?fref=photo
Tha Thanks Bob that will good news for my mate.Normally he adds a upgraded light but costs can be kept down buy using original bucket unless people think they might need a brighter light.
I wouldnt mind getting the improved airbox cover . Erik any info on what changes they may have made to the clutch
Hi everyone. Does anyone have specific knowledge of fork on the swm rs650. That is: is the cartridge one of nasty crimped together marzocchi things like the early f800gs's had? Or is it a decent thing i can re valve? And more generally has anyone in Australia actually sighted a bike yet? I'm not getting any response from the Im porter .
Not much info on their website. Its probably worth contacting SWM via their Facebook page - they seem very responsive. While you are at it, perhaps you could find out if you can get a microfiche and parts details / shop manual for the bike - it would be super to see comparisons with the 610/630. It looks like there are some improvements and differences, and also many shared parts (are the part numbers the same? what about prices/ordering? etc etc).
I've seen two in Australia in the flesh. One at the Sydney motorcycle show, and the other at Central Coast Motorcycles at Gosford.
Found one. Looks better in the flesh. The manual is brief, it quotes the swm website link that you must be a registered owner to acess . The australia importer has a bike fitted with b&b bash plate and safari tank from te630. They claim it very close to identical. Did the te630 have that awful Alloy prop stand? Seems a nice bike apart from the stand and seat. Neither of those put me off. Suspension is lowish spec but revalveable. Thinking. ..f
