Time for the extended swingarm.....give me your opinions

[jenndnn3]

Just want some opinions on how long would you go on the 250r swingarm.....so there is the poll,, post please..... I am leaning around 3 or 4.....

Oh the rider is a dumb blonde who cant shift and climbs big hills;)

[350Xccelerator]

if its a stock R id say go with the 3.

[da_catt]

i would say 3 and try that, see how you like the longer swing arm. are you just extending the stock one? going with too long of a swing arm makes it easy to hit trees with the rear tires. so watch out in the trails.

[twgranger]

I would go with 3inch.

[Mr. Kasey]

Well i had a 4 " for a while then i went to 6" and i love it now so i say ,,, don't go any shorter than 4" and no longer than 6" it will really help keep the front down since your so light...

i chose four on the poll but now that i think of it and after what kasey said i think 6 would be good, and it isnt too extreme

[Dirtsquirt]

Stock bike? Leave it stock length...learn to shift :rolleyes:


Unless you really don't like how easily the front wheel comes up (I love the feeling!) then go with a +2. Would make it much more controllable, but still have the ability to thrust the front wheel high.

Da catt...I Have a spare swingarm, axle, carrier, hubs. The hubs are extended too, so I should have the ability to swap back and forth IF I wanted to. But the 250r will be a sand queen, I have the lil x for dirt and trails.

Dirt I dont have to learn to shift, If I dont wanna.......what you gonna do make me....;) ease up If I wanted stock I wouldnt have asked the question? but I did ask for opinions so you are entitled to yours as well......And yeah no I dont need the front to roar up everytime I hit the throttle, especially on a hill. Not into that for some reason.:shrug: :shocked:

Jen,
An extended swingarm makes turning alittle more difficult. But since its going to be a sand queen, its not much of an issue.

Kasey's 500R needs the +6.
Unless youre going to seriously mod your R motor or climb some :eek:steeeep hills, you don't need more than +4.

If youre going to extend, go +4, otherwise why bother.


There is another possibility. You could be a poser that likes to cruise around the dunes with a +12 chrome swingarm with the latest paddles and never races other machines. Just to see the :shocked:and fear in the eyes of yamaha riders.

[thebasher]

I have a +6 on my 250r and I have no problems with it. The front stays down most of the time and its not really too hard to turn.

[jenndnn3]

Sandrooster, LOL I like the poser idea..hmmm whatcha think? would I strike fear with this swingarm??:D :D :lmao:

The chrome reminds Jen of diamonds
