Very good nice to see how other people have set up there bikes amassing the bike manufactures are unable to provide us with a screen that works for most people.
Richard Edwards , I have NEVER had a screen or any bike that worked , some better than others , but modified them all , from Yamahas , Triumphs , Ducati’s etc , As we are all different heights make it difficult for a manufacturer to make “ one screen fits all “
It’s about 20Kg heavier ( compared to a stock DR with its smallish tank and no other add ons like base plate , racks etc ) as the Superduel comes standard with this . Standard suspension on the SD is better than DR ( to be expected all Japanese bikes well mostly come with pretty not the best suspension) basically the SD is an Enduro bike - the SWM RS 650 or old Husky TE 630 with a larger tank , screen , crash bars etc . So it’s off road ability is very good 👍. Front suspension doesn’t have the longest travel on 210mm , but a few have put Husky TE or CR 250 forks in almost a straight swap - will then give 300 mm Rear is 280 mm so no problems their . Great handling bike , turning circle is not that good . Also has 6 speed box we’re DR only 5 , the DR in stock form is probably that little better in the real snotty stuff due to its lighter weight, but for long distance ADV riding the Superduel wins every time . Just buy one with a comfort seat or get an aftermarket one ☝️ ( stock seat is crap 💩) for the price a fantastic bike had mine since 2017 and only once been let down by a Rectifier issue. ( not common)

When you did the exhaust did you have to do and ecm reflashing or anything ?
Just got the last one from the dealership in VIC 2 weeks ago. Looking to add USB socket any tips on how to? Cheers!
Join the Australian SWM fb page ( I started it back in 2017 ) loads of helpful owners on the page that can tell you everything you need to know 👍
Gday mate,,, did the barret exhausts change the response or ride much,,, ie,,, worth it??
Better mid and top end and smoother power delivery
Any idea how this bike compares to the DR650?

What affect if any did the 21 / 18 inch wheel upgrade do to the on-road manners of the bike?
It’s not quite as good as the 19/17 wheels , but not by much .but 21/18 better off road
What is the second short lever on clutch?
Honestly I cannot remember, I think it’s a KTM fitting lever ?
Decompression lever, a holdover of the engine design to aid kick starting or clear a flooded engine :-)
Swm is very in Chile
