Pros and cons of the diff swing arms and length. My 440 all it wants to do is wheelie, trying to do something to calm it down.
If anyone has a swing arm for sale let me know.

Thanks Bobby

If you want to save some bucks, do a 450r swinarm swap... I changed out my whole rearend, now I have 450r back brakes plus its about a 1 inch longer!! I changed my shock and linkage to 450r as well. works great !! :D

if your mx'n run a 1.25" helps out and also handles better,if your draggin +4 or 6 youll leave the hole hard with 2" off the ground

I have a +2" and i have to make it wheelie, not just punch it. My motor is pretty built too, its faster than my old 440 motor. If i want to wheelie i have to pop the clutch or lean way back and hit it, my quad also sits pretty low compared to others. I think this will def solve your wheelie problem

yeah the 400ex wheelies pretty easy. With the mods I have I can just stand straight up on the pegs and lean back in the sand and I can just pull the front end up. My quad isnt even that powerful but its well balanced. Heres a little suggestion I thought of. Moving the battery to undernearth the front plastics. Thats maybe 7-9lbs moved forward and makes it looks cleaner as well. Then maybe a +1.25" swingarm or so and I would think it would be even weighted again if your jumping.

I have a extra houser +1.25 Pc black swinger with magnum dual row taper carrier, I just went with a +6 chrome one debating on selling the 1.25 it. Its winter here and I want to make sure I love the +6 before I get rid of my mx swinger. I'll keep you posted.

i know its not the same, but i put a 2006 450r swingarm on my 04 (+.75in) and my quad is a lot harder to wheelie than it was
