Stock Swingarm

[murder_banshee]

Is it a bad idea to put a stock length swingarm on a Redline ported 421 serval cub with sniper pipes? Making 90+ hp, this quad will be ridden primarily on dunes, but now and then on dirt/trails. I’ve always liked the handling capabilities of a stock swingarm but not sure how it will be with paddle tires. I’d really prefer not to stretch it out too much it at all

I should add that I mostly ride Oregon dunes so lots of trails/tree shots

I run a stock length fireball on my redline 421 Serval on sand and love it. It is a pain in the ass to launch when drag racing but im riding trails, tree shots, and overall duning 90% of the time.

Awesome that’s what I was hoping to hear. What wheels and tires are you running? (Size, number of paddles, etc.) Gonna run haulers but wanted a good idea of how many paddles and what size would be best

I have ran play cut padla brats and just switched to 9 paddle 70RO 21x12x8 haulers last year, John at sandtoyz unlimited was pushing me to do an 8 paddle hauler saying the 9 was too much for this setup on a stock length swinger and that may be the case for drag racing as i have to pedal it a lot to get off the line but everything else i like it. I did drop back down to a 14T sprocket (was at 15T) with the haulers.

I run a +4 on mine.

I can't imagine riding a 90+hp bike on a stock swingarm. If you did that by me, you'd be over backwards anytime you touched the throttle. I'd do +4

I have looped it a few times at LSOK but i blame DDQ for making me take shotskis at 8AM. I have been wanting to try a +2 but we run trails, tree shots, and general duning 90% of the time so not sure if its worth it.
