Seanzaay Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 I'm currently building my bike and I'm stuck on which swingarm size I want to go with I mostly ride trails and maybe a flat track every once in a blue moon but what size swingarm will fit my application the best?

trickedcarbine Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 -2 FTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee98 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 ^ this or stock length is all that's needed for trails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailydrifter Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 I just made the switch from stock length to -2. It is awesome in the trails. It makes popping the front end up over fallen trees so much easier as well as turning into corners. I wouldn't recommend it if the trails you ride have a lot of steep hill climbs though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns4children Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 I have a +4 and its not too bad for the trails. We do alot of steep shoots out of old pits though. I'm a fat guy and it'll still stand the front up if you try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.banshee Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Stock swingarm lenght is 18,1/2 inch.Duncan racing for mx use suggest 17,5 inch and for tt use suggest 16 inch.I thing it helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanzaay Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Im rebuilding the motor so Im starting with virtually a blank canvas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike NY Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Im rebuilding the motor so Im starting with virtually a blank canvas That's cool, but are you building to stock specifications or going to a larger piston, porting, higher compression, bigger carbs, open intake? What we need to know if your going to be in he horsepower/torque range of say stock up to 75 horsepower, the stock length swingarm or even a shortened swingarm would be fine. If your going beyond that power level it may benefit you to extend the swingarm slightly.. Edited April 18, 2016 by Big Mike NY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
