Does anyone know of a simple way of changing the balance of a quad? For instance, on a dirtbike I can slide the front tubes up/down to change the weight on the front end of the bike, making it lighter or heavier on the front end. I'm not aware of any way of doing this on a quad except either changing the swingarm length or customizing the engine mounts and sliding the engine in the frame, both of which require fairly serious wrenching and changing the chain length. Have I overlooked anything?

I think they are balanced when they are stock. And whatever u do to the front +1 +2 etc, u have to do the same to the back to keep it balanced. :eek:

I'm not talking about the width, I'm talking about the weight front to back.

you can get +1 forward a-arms and get your swing-arm extended however much you want
