New +1.25 swingarm, what length chain

[drew416ex]

Just got a new lonestar +1.25 swinger. What length chain do I need? Thanks!

The stock length works, I got a Primary Drive Gold X-Ring and it hasn't stretched sense I bought it.

Hope to see some pics of it.

What gearing are you running though. I have 15/38 and didnt think my chian would be long enough.

I think I got a 100 link chain with one out. I have a 13/36 gearing.

I have 14/38 gearing, but if your going with 15 then i'd get it with a few more links.

i was looking into getting a new swingarm also the same length i was wondering how you guys like it? is it worth it ? what are the benefits?

I would 2nd buying one. They are just plan awesome. A few reasons are they are stronger than stock, I think it flies nicer and if you do any type of racing the front end stays down a lot easier. I think the only down part is you can't do wheelies as easy but I don't care to do those so it doesn't make any difference.

You can still do wheelies with a +1.25 swinger. It does keep the quad planted more in turns and coming out of them. Its a nice addition if your planning on buying or have arms, then it helps even more.

I've found it really hard with the gearing and 18's. It will do it but usually when you just lean back and crack it, it spins and tears up the yard. lol

Thanks for all the replies!

I'm running 14/36 gearing and a 96 link chain--stock is 94 and my chain had just enough slack to fit right. I wish I would have bought a 100 link and cut it down to a 97.

The 1 1/4 swinger is a great mod, greatly improves handling, tames the light front end, and the balance point for wheelies is not negatively affected.

I have a +2 LSR swinger, and i was running 15/33 gearing with a stock length 94 link chain. I recently switched to 13/36 gearing and it fit with the old chain, then i bought a new 94 link chain and it was to short, i guess because the other one was stretched. So I put the 33t rear back on to ride it a bit and stretch the new chain so it will fit. Hope this helps, I would think 98 or 100 link would be good.

yeah ill jet get a 100 link and go from there. thanks!

That should be about right. We ran 15/38 for a while I think we only had to knock out one link.
