I'm not sure what +2+1 a-arms are. I know that +2 is 2in wider right but what about +1. Is this 1in fowered and if it is dose that help bump steer.

thanks

the second number is how much forward they are and it dosent really help bump steer but more with how stable it is itll make it smoother over whoops etc with the longer wheelbase and will help it not wheelie as much.

I wouldn't suggest one inch forward arms on a 400ex unless you are going to lengthen the swingarm also. By moving the arms forward will create a push in the frontend and no it won't keep the frontend from wheeling because by moving the arms forward you actually have but more of the balance to the rear not the front. It wiil actually wheelie easier.

TBD is correct, he told me the same thing and when I added the +3+1 arms on my 400 it did push and lightened the front up, a double whammy. It wasn't till I got the +1 swingarm that the handling got sorted out and the front stayed more planted.
