Dismantling / Installation

1. Secure Motor cycle by putting it on the main stand.
2. Gasoline is combustible and emits unhealthy vapours. Please provide sufficient ventilation of the area during the mounting and remove each type of naked flame, spark-flight or electric cables, which represent a possible source of danger.
3. Following parts are to be dismantled in this order:
3/1. Drivers and passenger-seat. U-bracket together with rear fender, tail-light and licence-plate. Dismount rear-wheel. Struts left/right. Side covers.




 

Passenger footrest incl. left side framework-brace

 

 

Take out screw on silencer right and left

 

3/2. At the tank: 

Withdraw the fender

Withdraw the gas-line behind the gas-filter 

Withdraw ventilation-hose

Separate Reserve switch plugs (right

Take off tank-cover

Turn out both upper screws at tank

The original-tank can now be taken out to the left as well as to the left behind.


3/3. This is only valid at mounting of the heatshield: Take out the battery and battery-case. The heatshield is put in between the holder and battery-boxes and fixated with the screws of the battery-case. 

Attention
The heatshield must be installed if:
the series-heatshield of the rear collector is no longer present! If you don't mount the heatshield you run a great risk of fire and explosion!

4. Mounting the Schwabenmax Tank

Attention: Maximum torque of all screws at the tank as the Partslist!

 

4/1. Aluminum holder in the front, with enclosed screws / protection-ring. 
Slide open original holding rubber.

 

 

4/2. Mount bent-holders left/right with enclosed counter-sunk screws. 
Press in original holding rubbers.

 

 

4/3. Mount U-holder top-right (gas-filter), with enclosed counter-sunk screw and enclosed screws. Mount gas-filter and hose. 

 

4/4. Mount reserve-switch in the original-condition with O-ring and with 
additional rubber-washers. Remove outside lying rubber-washers.

 

 

4/5 .1. Left / right bent carefully the left / right holder straps beneath
 for about 2 - 3 mm outwards.


4/5.2. The tank can be installed from the left rear. On the basis of the size there is less space available than with the series-tank at the mounting. It seems that with the series-silencers there is not enough room on the left because of the holder. Press the silencer somewhat downward to pass this narrow position.

 

4/6. For easier mounting please grease the holding rubber on the right

 

4/7. If the tank is in the right position you insert the enclosed distance-washers at the upper holder. Furthermore you use the original mounting parts (rubbers, washers, screws). " Please do not paste in these screws with Locktite."


 


 

4/8.1. The venting hose will be put left next to the filler (driving direction).
 It can also be put on after the mounting of the tank.
Please secure along the frame with cable loops!

Note: for an easy installation moisten the tube with a drop oil or gasoline. Please connect the tube carefully, the plastic connection can brak relatively easily!

 

4/8.2. Mount all lines and cables and keep an eye on tightness as well as power supply.
4/9. The screw threads M4 in the wheel base of the tank is for the tank protector (special request).

 

4/10. Distance side-covers with rubber-washers inner side / screws. 

 

4/12. the stock fender must be shortened in the 
tank area for aprox. 20 mm.
 The distance should be at least 10 mm

 

4/13. spring deflection clipper instruction in connection with series set of tires and series suspension struts

 

4/14. It is necessary to make sure that all electricity wiring, gas hoses as well as brake hose are secured (cable loops) so they won't wear against the tank

 

 5.On-catch container/Tankstutzen, reorganisation

5./1 Photos: Before/after

     
 
     
     
 5./ 2.You need sharp scissors for the reorganisation.

See cutting you like on the photos, on the outside around careful and evenly the contour

   
5./2. As tool you need a cutting plate or separating plate and a fan grinder.

You need a small grinder of z : b: Proxxon, Dremel, or similar.

Below this one trims except for a rest from approx. 6-8 mm with the cutting slice/separating slice cut you.

With the fan grinder you smooth all sections evenly.

 
     
 
5./ 3. The filler cap must ready built-inly be easy to put together.

Additional mounting-, warning- and danger-hints 

1. The rear struts must, when fully extended, be at least the length of the series struts (at aftermarket struts).
2. The rear swingarm cannot be higher than the series swingarm in the area below the tank. Aftermarket swingarms of Class, Degget, Fischers as well as the aluminum swingarm of Krueger & Junginger and Otec are all matching. With others, like for example CNC-milled Fischer-swingarms or single-sided swingarms, the distance must be checked. 
3. In the rear of the series collectors you find a heatshield. This may not be removed! Aftermarket exhaust systems, for example 4-in-1 or 4-in2 BSMS and others don't have a heatshield. In this case we deliver the relevant part for a small extra charge. See price list.
4. The following rear-wheel rim/tire-combinations may be used:
Series, 5,0 x 17-170/60, 5,5 x 17-180/55 and 190/50, 6,0 x 1,
however, with 6,0J-rims the swingarm must be set to the most left (offset). Theoretically, rims/tires 5 XS 18J 170/60 will also fit. These have the same dimensions as the series wheels. This must be clarified at the time of the order.
5. As mentioned before the tank will fit without any alterations of the framework, however the rear fender / mudguard must be shortened for aprox. 3 cm at your own costs. You won't need the series plastic-covers at the rear-wheel. With other seats, for example tail pieces by Big Bike or similar, the place-circumstances must be clarified at the time of the ordered. The tank filler is on series-level.
6. The series tank-cap, holding-rubber, gas-filters etc. ar re-used.
7. Technical description: Manufacture in the rotation-glaze-procedure after DIN 16901,160. Used material VEPE, smooth non paintable surface. Heat resistant up to 85 degrees Celsius, melting point at 120 degree Celsius. Comment: maximum temperature reached in real test / critical area 60 degree Celsius. Content approximately 19850 ccms incl. 2,7 l reserve after completed expansion. The used material VEPE will extend after filling with gas on the outside.
After approximately 4-6 hours for about approximately 300 ccms. The extension lies in the further in the median value with 1,74% after 30 days and approximately 2% after 1 year. The tank then remains in this form. This expansion benefits the volume. The stated value of approximately 19850 ccms corresponds to the tank-content after 30 days with our used reverence tanks. Of course, this extension was taken into account on the model and tool-construction. This consequently also guarantees that the tank after conclusion of its expansion still can easily be removed and installed.
8. Attention: In order to exclude possible danger-sources, the buyer is committed to store this instruction and to hand over with sale of the motorcycle or the parts to the new owner. For damages that take place due to improper mounting we will take no liability.
9. It is absolutely necessary to make sure that no other parts of the motorcycle can rub against the tank. This could lead to a tank-leak and fire.

10. No Burnouts with this tank.

 

Pay particular attention to the following areas:
  • brake-line to the bottom right
  • brake fluid-tank / metal-clamp
  • live cables as well as the plugs
  • side caps left/right (different from the series or BRM parts)
  • with other swingarms (different from the series)
  • with rims/tire-combinations besides the approved ones
  • with aftermarket struts
  • with application of a bigger battery, different from the series
  • other seats or covering parts different from the series
  • and other footrest-systems, specifically the left plate as well as battery-regulators behind this plate, minimum distance 10 mm.
  • spring deflection clipper at series wheel in connection with series suspension strut

 

 

Assemble

With application of the series rear fender / mudguard it must be shortened in the area of the tank by about 30 mm. Here you must look out for enough distance (approximately 10mm).
Furthermore all parts must be mounted in reverse order of the dismantling.
