bansheecaptain Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 (edited) whats the upside with going with a -2 swing arm thinking about getting one.. i ride trails all the time and i go to the dunes once a year..what about brake lines are they the same or do you have to get shorter ones Edited March 10, 2005 by bansheecaptain Quote
NickyPap Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 I mostly ride trails and can say that the -2 makes it easier to pop the front up if you want to get over stuff or wheelie into stuff to avoid over the bars situation like sudden drop offs. feels more confident when you take tight turns in trails and waitin for the ass to follow thru. feels more predictable when jumpin-you don't have to be as high in the revs. And the best thing is you'll have 2 inches less to clean after a muddy ride. fars as dunes I couldn't help you and don't want to sound like a dumbass trying to guess.

banshee76179 Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 The shorter swingarm, will allow u more power to the ground...I personally like my -2... Some peeps like'em and some don't!!!! Chromed Laeger Quote
MotulMonsta Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 I went with a +1 myself. It tracks better at high speeds. I'd like to try a -1 and see if it jumps better. Right now it feels nose heavy. Quote
Fireman-hott Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 I second the trail turning. Puts the power to the ground right now. doing trails/mx do it you wont regret it. Duning and extra high HP motors eh longer may be better. For reference I run a 404cc motor with 220psi in each cylinder. Quote
bansheecaptain Posted March 10, 2005 Author Report Posted March 10, 2005 i think i'm going to put the -2 on i was just getting some last min info Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 i think i'm going to put the -2 on i was just getting some last min info 336809[/snapback] Good Choice. Quote
ledofthezep Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 Good Choice. 336871[/snapback] Werd! Goes to show that being short, in some cases, can be a good thing. Quote

NickyPap Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 My arms are 2 out and 1 forward on each side and I have a lsr axle +4 . It's tighter than the blaster but then again we make our trails wide anyways. not too many dirt bikes ride w/ us let alone help us make new trails. the little extra width and any shocks but stock makes such a big difference. ...but getting back to 'captain's question I would go for it but maybe keep a back up swinger since the dunes will only be a once a year thing. -I think the shorter swinger would make hillclimbs alittle trickyer.
