Swingarm extention advise!!!

[J2PUISANT]

HEY GUYS... CHECK THIS OUT. I WANT TO PUT AN EXTENDED SWINGARM ON MY BIKE. I WANT TO DO IT BUT DO IT RIGHT. I WANT THE BEST FITMENT FOR WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE FOR THE TYPE OF RIDING I DO. NOW, I WANTED TO GO +4 FOR A LONG TIME NOW. BUT MY POCKETS CAN AFFORD A +6. WILL A PLUS SIX AFFECT ME IN THE TRAILS, AS FAR AS THE WOOPS, AND OTHER VARIOUS TERRAIN? WILL THE +6 AFFECT ME ON THE MX TRACK, CUZ I DO ALOT OF THAT AS WELL. SO AS YOU SEE I DO THE TRAIL RIDING AND TRACK AND I WANT A SWINGARM THAT COMPLIMENTS BOTH. A LITTLE LONG WINDED BUT I WANTED TO PAINT THE BEST PICTURE OF MY DILEMMA!!!

 

[scotj77]

+6 will be way too long +4 max for trailridin.

 

[StrokedTater244]

i would go +3 or +4

 

[brandoz28]

i'd only go +3 or +4 for trail and mx riding, going beyond that is going to make it a bit harder to turn

 

[J2PUISANT]

Damn fellas... You guys are the best. Thanks for the fast reply. I think i'll go with the +4? Is that about right?

 

[scotj77]

yep and with the +4 you can just get a banshee chain. no coutin links and crap

I ride mostly track and trails. I have a +3 and wouldn't go any longer than that

 

[1bad442]

man why do uy guys keep saying a plus 6 makes it harder to turn a blaster?? they turn like sh*t stock or plus 4 or plus 6 the best way yo turn one is to slide it around the corner did u know most mxers run a plus 6 seems they turn quite a bit to me lol

 

[brandoz28]

most of the mx'ers on here run +2 or +3 or maybe +4

[scotj77]

my stock motor with vf3,s and a oko carb would slide my plus 4 around a corner no problem

ill be running a +3 on my mx bike, seems like the perfect length to me

 

[myusername]

With a +6, it should be easier to slide it around corners, since with it extended that far, your gonna loose a little bit of traction. Idk what the racers on here who are fighting for championships are running, like kgibson or lasxgames, but I like my +3 on the track. I wouldn't change it

with a longass swingarm you could spin it around with a stock atc70 engine cause there is no weight over the rear tires. :-/

 

[hudack]

i think +3 would be the biggest id go for trails im doing a +2 tater special when i get the chedda

I'm running a 4 1/2 extension, and with it being a little wider to it's a little ruff in the tight trails.. I'm going to swap to a +4.... I recommend a +3 or +4...
