Hello. Could you write something about the reliability of the swm300r after these few years of use? What is the mileage on your machines now? Have you had any major mechanical problems with the engines?
I'm just starting my adventure with rs300r (after xr400, xr650L) and I'm very curious about the opinion of an experienced user :)

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.
