Hi Patrik, I bought an Aprilia air cooled 280 in a box. Had some bits done and started to put it back together. In the box with the Gearbox bits, ther is a tensioner of some sort which I can't place. Nothing the like on the SWM 125 and 280's I've rebuilt so far. any ideas ? I can send a pic but I wanted a first thought. Wierd, I usually fathom things out but this has got me boggeled.
Thanks,
Phil

Hi Patrik, many thanks, the diagram helped big time. It sits on the casing at the base of the 5th/6th gear selector shaft. The roller sits on the shift drum index. The engine number is 239543.
Maybe if I'd stripped a few more motors in the past I'd have seen it before. I can't recall such a part on either my 125 or 320 which I rebuilt in the past. Maybe, just maybe, that's the reason for the sporadically bad gearchange on the 320. We shall see.
Many, many thanks for your help,
Phil

Hi Phil,
as I mentioned before. very early ones did have it different the later ones changed a bit the design to what what you have there.
The engine number leads to a later unit when I compare to my 1980 SWM Guanaco TL.NW which is from the first yellow make.I' am in the process of producing aluminium axles for the SWM, made out of 7075 aluminium, much labor intensive, costs depends
to the time, the around price is beeing calculated right now, whioch is a good weight saver nearly one kg!IF You are interested, as each additional item made makes the production run cheaper,
payment is in advantange to the producer in Belgium or it will NOT happen.Greetings

Hi Patrik, are you talking about both axles or just the front one ?
PM me at Philip-Brown@T-Online.de once you have a few more details.
Thanks,
Phil
