The pull/push button on the side of the FI body looks like a carburettor is a HEB. Hot Engine Button. Pull it out when engine is hot, start, push back in. Flareouts can be mapping option. Can be fuel air mixture. Look on rubbers where FI joints to cylinder.

great day, great fun...Frohes Neues Jahr

Hi, I now have only 1 SWM 300 as I have stopped supplying bikes and do guiding only now. However. In 4 years of ownership and each bike clocking approx 8000kms I NEVER had any serious mechanical issues. Regular valve checks, regular oil and filter changes that's all I did. The biggest problem was a faulty fuel pump. The cost of an original full replacement from SWM is ridiculously expensive but I got a fuel pump kit instead and that was fine. They're great value for money. The spares can be expensive. I think I paid 180€ for a clutch kit. If you have access to spares they're a good cheap enduro bike but resale price is low. Keep that in mind.

small tank just about enough for 100-110kms but as we are quite remote here so we carry a small fuel bottle. I dislike the sidestand but it's not a deal breaker. Great value for money agreed.

@@algarvetrailridingtours Yes we are often in remote areas here in Australia too, so fuel can be an issue. Happy trail mate

@@RealHooksy ah, some thunder from down under. Cool. I have fam in Melbourne area and worked FIFO out of Perth for 2 years. Straya, bloody ripper.

@@algarvetrailridingtours nice one. I’m doing a ride to Broken Hill next weekend where we will have 400km between fuel stops. Not on my SWM though, on my Suzuki adventure bike. I will take 30L of fuel. An SWM Superdual would be a good mount for this trip. Happy trails mate.

Thomas is very experienced so it allows me to ride some really stunning spots. 4 days of this.

Thank you kindly squire. Hope to meet up with you before gets too hot.

Hi, Well it's most definitely 100% Chinese funding. There are definitely parts made in China then shipped to Italy for building. I don't know which parts exactly. I could guess at things like levers, bearings no doubt but maybe other things such as cases BUT I honestly don't have the correct answer.

Was a good 2 days

Danke and see you soon

Hi there. I have a friend in Oregon with a PR5. They are good fun to ride. Have some really excellent design ideas and for the price are great value for money. They do require a lot of maintenance for stuff like, bearings esp frame, fuel pump issues and they do have erratic mapping issues under 1800rpm but if you can live with this they're great fun to ride. A buddy has the 280cc conversion and that is a lovely ride.

@@algarvetrailridingtours Thanks for the feedback.

😁😁Just 1 option from many but never say never

To me I personally feel there's a huge difference between the 2 bikes. In essence I'd say the 300L is a road bike with off-road capability. The SPR is an off-road bike with some road capability. If planning more commuting and adv riding then CRL if wanting more enduro biased riding SPR. However, there's always a bit of crossover on bikes.

@@algarvetrailridingtours Thanks Anton. I'd use it for more small country roads. In Ireland there aren't really big, vast areas for off-road motorbiking. I live in the countryside & we have a few acres of land ride a bike on but I know you can't be belting up the mountain with sheep on them, the farmers would be going mad & I realise that myself. The smaller service intervals put me off & the price too is a big factor for me, it'll be possibly next year or the year after before I have enough money to buy. Thanks again Anton & good luck with your business. Liam.

@@Liamofloin well good luck whatever you go for. I'm sure you'll have a blast either way.

The bracket is absolutely fine. I just added a couple of plastic washers to make the gps mount a bit higher on the side of the gps aerial - to be more "open" to the sky to improve sat signal receivership. I think the montana 700 is the best option. Pls mention me when you buy the mount from F2R. I'm sure they'd be thrilled to know this wee video has been seen by you. Thanks.

I would guess so yes but it's hard to answer the question not knowing your skill level or experience so far.

Great, Will be working on some more fantastic routes for you guys.

Weak fuel pump check filter hasn't fallen off your fuel pump in the tank

Did you also check the battery ? It needs to be in good condition to feed teh fuel pump constantly. Did you change the injector or injector filter ?

@@perfektrepairs7934 Thank you. The filter did fall off, I put it back, then the bike went to a mechanic, who checked the fuel pump and many other things. The bike was fine for... 1 ride. Now it's getting worse again.

@@algarvetrailridingtours Thank you. I will swap the battery and see if it helps. The injector was replaced, but I don't know about injector filter, need to check with the mechanic. Unless you mean the fuel filter, which is attached to the pump inside the tank. This one fell off before and I put it back, but maybe something still clogs the fuel line.

@@algarvetrailridingtours I replaced the battery and the problem was gone! Thank you!

Hi Pat, I'll connect with you via Linkedin and we can exchange phone numbers etc. Danke.

algarvetrailriding.com/first-time-offroad/ our email address is also on the website . Thanks.

@@algarvetrailridingtours thanks I’ll take a look

Regular oil changes and filter, keep the air filter very clean as well and check valves every 1,500kms......Enjoy.

@@algarvetrailridingtoursWow, very short valve intervals :(

Thank you Pat, as long as we're not falling off at least the filming stays in focus...LOL.

@@algarvetrailridingtours lol hear that mate! I'm comin to ya next month and we'll show the world what you got!

@@PatSavage awesome pls drop me a mail first to chat about dates etc.

Thank you Pat, too kind.

@@algarvetrailridingtours we are coming to film our next Savage Roads episode in Portugal so we can put me on a dirt bike and film your operation for my new series!

@@PatSavage oooh fancy...ok pls drop me a mail when you are ready.

hahahah cool, very famous band in PT

The PR5 is very light, great for technical terrain and has some great build ideas, it has pretty good suspension as well......it's a great beginners enduro bike or great for someone looking for a lighter weight enduro bike. It's a very good price as well.

It's not something I'm easily able to answer. I never owned the German or Italian version of the Husky/SWM variant. It may be a question for SWM directly. I do know I find the SWM fantastic value for money and so far (3 years) I have been very happy with build quality post 2018 bikes. They are holding up very well.

"We all know China makes very cheap and terrible parts". Fake news.

@@davidarmstrong6716 you saying they don’t? The Plastics tell a different story.

"Obrigado" Chris

The one I got isn't available anymore...I got it a few years ago via a connection. You can maybe chat to the tech support team at ajp ?

yes, not much on the web or YT. I was thinking to make a 5 Top Tips for a PR5 owner but not sure if it's worth it really.

I'm no expert on the mapping subject BUT you can use either factory for single exhaust or the Maya software option (most recommended). That choke is not a choke but is actually a HSB - hot start button and so is designed to help start a hot bike. I use it all the time on my bikes but the one with the maya/arrow can doesn't need it as much. I suggest join as many SWM FB groups to get help in sharing the maya software.

Thank you

10 years ago, I went riding a few times in Algarve, around Monchique, nice area. If you ever come to nothern Portugal, can give me a call, to know here some nice tracks also. 🙂 czcams.com/video/nJa3W7sGVdw/video.html&ab_channel=NunoAlcaide

@@Nuno.Alcaide agradeço Nuno

@@algarvetrailridingtours, and if (by any chance) you want to bring people to try different terrains here in the north, I can provide stay, and even get some extra bikes to rent (if you need). I live (and normally ride) in Aveiro/Coimbra area.

@@Nuno.Alcaide bom saber... Agradeço e um bom ano novo

glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for taking a look on here and keep me updated by LI or email. Best wishes.

@@algarvetrailridingtours will do

NEVER ridden any of the SPR range. I like v. much the 310 AJP, yes exactly same engine as SWM. To me these are not suitable at all for commuting...see my other comments to you. It seems on paper the AJP 310cc maybe the "better" enduro/weekend racing bike....hard to tell and need to factor in spares, back up service, price. I am thinking to buy an AJP 310 next year to go with the SWM's...not sure but will consider it. Fantic use the same as the AJP PR5 engine (Zongshen) in a bike as well.....just an idea.

@@algarvetrailridingtours Thanks for info! Yeah, I was checking out the Fantic XEF 250 Trail with 250cc 4 stroke Zongshen engine, although I don't like it as much because of its suspension. As I understand forks are not adjustable. Other than that I like Fantic and I have a dealer nearby. Regarding this engine, as I understand, you haven't had any trouble? how many hours / km you've had on those PR5? Thanks

Hi, Only the 300r. Commuting...not really....high revving engine, no cush drive, noisy tyres etc. Yes entry level enduro bike choose the 300cc. I personally feel...others can disagree of course if commuting you want a CRfL450/300/250 or similar, so not a unicorn bike.

@@algarvetrailridingtours Thanks for info. With regards to commuting I was thinking short distances in the city going to work, maybe to a shop, etc. Can you compare this RS300R with CRF300L, if you've had some experience with CRF300L...?

@@strifex-suspension-works never had a CRFL...bear in mind, basically the PR5 is an "enduro" bike built for offroad, the CRF is more road and offroad. It can do both but isn't as good offroad as the PR5.....

@@algarvetrailridingtours Yeah. I just contacted one of Germany AJP dealers and he told me that the PR range of bikes basically has been discontinued and they're going to have the SPR lineup now, that is the 250 [6590 EUR], 310 R [8590 EUR], and 510 R [8890 EUR], maybe 240 [4700 EUR], if they can get Euro 5 homologation for it (he provided also the prices mentioned). He confirmed that the engines on 310R and 510R are the same ones in SWM RS300R and RS500R (if the language barrier did not make me misunderstand him). Also, he provided wet weight for SPR 310 R = 117 kg and SPR 510 R = 120 kg, which is similar to SWM (SWM seems to be ~5kg heavier). With all this information (mainly the price of AJP bikes as provided by the Germany dealer) I'm wondering is the AJP SPR 310 R and 510 R are worth the extra cost compared to SWM (6700-7000 EUR for RS300R and 7200-7500 EUR for RS500R), especially considering that I have a SWM dealer in my town, but the closest AJP dealer is in the neighboring country some 320 km away. What do you think? Do you think the AJP SPR 310 R @ 8590 EUR is worth the extra ~1600 EUR compared to SWM RS300R? On the surface, it definitely doesn't seem so.

@@strifex-suspension-works I cannot really say if it's worth it as I have never ridden the 310 AJP....if you get the SWM and put the arrow single exhaust conversion, then the ajp and swm will be very similar to each other in performance I would guess. I think the ajp has more modern materials maybe as the aluminium swingarm etc. Hard to say but if it's price only SWM + Arrow.. If not try the ajp.

I am an agent, You can order from me. If you can contact me on my company email address and pls let me know what country you are in and for what bike and year you want the pegz.........info@algarvetrailriding.com

SWM's are going fine, all good really with them. Business has definitely picked up but even so the effects from covid/travel restrictions/nervousness to travel are still being felt. I dare not look too far into the future but can only hope things continue to improve. It is going in teh right direction so fingers crossed.

Hahaha, good one. Thx

boa e obrigado por seguir a pagina

That's great to hear. Hopefully you'll be more relaxed riding knowing you have some extra protection. Cheers for letting me know.
