stock chain on extended swingarm??

[cals400ex]

i was wondering if you could use the stock 400ex chain and brake line on a +1" swingarm? if not, would it fit if i ran 15/36 gearing?

If your chain had streached 2 in or so, ya. The break line would work if it has 1 in of slack.

Hey whats up man? Bad news on the chain you will have to use a new one that is extended. I would recomend getting new sprockets with it because using your old stock ones will cause premature chain and sprocket wear. On the brake line I use my stock one on my +1.25" houser swinger with plenty of line left. You will be ok on that part. Hope this helps you out.

sounds good. now i will have to find a chain i want to use...


also, do you know what size chain fits your +1.25" swingarm?

I just started a post too asking the same question. I also have a 1.25" swingarm.Does anyone know how many links??

[cals400ex]

not me :D

if you get a 100 link or so you can always remove some if need be.

With the extended swingarm it will be 4 limls longer than stock.

My buddy added 2 links to his stock lenth chain with his +1.25 houser swinger..

I have spare links if anyone needs them.

yeah, my bike is in good shape. it is regular maintained. well, besides the swingarm bolt. i took that off for the first time a week or so ago. it came off after beating on it for a while but the bolt did bend a bit. my bike isn't dirty much and when it is, it is cleaned pretty quick.
