![]() ![]() Now I ride my 86 200x, it has a real short swingarm, it turns on a dime and gets awesome traction, but I have to do alot of counter-steering to keep it from going 180 when powersliding in corners, almost doing like the classic "full lock slide" that you seen 3 wheeler racers doing in corners. First thing I noticed with the longer swingarm was a bigger turning radiaus and it took more effort to turn, being a by-product it was more stable in turns and I could ride it harder and longer with out the front end rising too much. I had to get a +1 because my new motor makes so much more power, it was un-rideable. With your 3 wheelers, did you ever have a extended swingarm? On my atc250r, I had a stock length swingarm(85-87 length). Thanks for any "light" you guys can shed on this subject for me! ![]() ![]() Now at age 40, I am finally undertaking modifying the suspension on my R to try and get a smoother trail ride out of it. Prior to that I had nothing but stock 3-wheelers. So, does the 86R benifit from the +1 A-arms because of the swing arm being longer?īackground- I have a 86 R that I have been riding in it's stock configuration for the last 13 years. But the point of if +1 A-arms are added to a quad, a +1 swing arm should also be added. I am asking this, for over in 400EXrider707's thread, it is pointed out many times that switching to after-market front A-arms with a +1 forward creates more steering issues than it's worth. But other than the weight savings, what is the handling advantage of this swap? I now have questions that I want to direct right at you other 250R owners (since I can't find it searching in here) Ĭan someone explain to me exactly what the advantage is on swapping in a rear swing arm from a 88-89 R into a 86? I've read that the 88-89 swinger is 1" shorter and made of aluminum, vs. OK, I just finished reading the 14 pages of 400EXrider707's thread on suspension theory over in the general mechanical section of the forum, as well as the links to GT Thunder's site info and others. ![]()
