  7. Aly Gear changer for SWM

    I just tried my Fantic 300 alloy gear lever with a folding tip on my Jumbo and unfortunately it doesn't fit, pity because the bend and length look spot on for a SWM. The Jumbo shaft is 13.5 mm and looks to have a finer spline than the Fantic, also the Fantic shaft measured closer to 13 mm.

    I'm pretty sure Fantic 240 and 300 gear levers are the same, but I could be wrong ? 

    Is the jumbo shaft the same as earlier 240 / 280's ? Never tried it myself, but the person who mentioned it works extensively on tl's and tx300's.

    Can you repair it or has it done a lot of damage?

    This is on a sharan, one of the springs in the dual mass FW made a bid for freedom through the circumference of the FW. Caught it just in time. Just the housing thats slightly scored.

    Flywheel / clutch had 122k miles which is pretty good value.

    I know there aren’t any dual mass flywheels used on bikes...yet...but they might develop a much smaller version?

    I hope not, mine just tried to eat its way through the gear box !

    Any update Ross? Did you go for the Pro or standard version?

     

    I went for the pro version, havn't used the power setting enough to give an impression. Ridden 2 trials and the standard setting is very good in every way. 

    The old system was even worse than I had thought, first gear is longer and grips better, I have had to turn the petrol screw in about 1/2 a turn ! (Was one and a half turns out previously)

    My first trial with it fitted was the northern experts, 5 or 6 hours long, and about 6 litres of petrol, so a good varied test.  All positive so far. ?

    A friend has Maxton's,  said they are very good, but no better than the usual contenders which are consistently cheaper. They do look nice however. 

    (not sure of the model number fitted to his bike)

  21. Expansion chamber cleanout?

    Are you saying that the large expansion chamber has a second tube  inside with packing around it and it is all welded into the big expansion chamber?

    I really need X ray vision to see what is going on inside there!   I hate to cut into mine unless I know it HAS to be done.

    The only real restriction that I can sort of find is the one in the spark arrester.  It was almost blocked. maybe 75% blocked. 

    How do you tell when the expansion chamber itself is blocked or needs to be re-packed if air will still flow freely thru it?  Or is it just one of those things that you do while you are cleaning the whole system out?

     

     

     

     

     

    First box is similar to back box in design and function. How do you tell it needs done ?  If you ride the bike regularly the sound is the giveaway, it gets louder and tinnier. Bottom end performance drops off.  You have established the back box is full of crap, chances are the front one is too.

    Generally, inside there is a perforated tube ( usually solid with sh@t ) surrounding this is packing, glass fiber or similar. If it's steel burn it out. My preference is to cut a window and fit a plate to make repacking easier in the future. I use rive nuts and good quality silicone to seal.
