+11/4swinger ?

[jedneck]

what are the handling differances between stock and a +1 1/4 swinger?

i would say not huge. what kind of riding are u planning on doing??

[jedneck]

xc

i don't have any experience with that swingarm. but i would say it might increase the leverage ratio on the rear shock a little so u may want to have it revavled for the specifeic swingarm?? idk?? wish someone else would jump on this thread. i would say you prolly won't notice a ton a difference in handling. it will be harder to wheelie but that doesnt matter anyway if your racing xc.

Is it hard to keep your front end down?

That is what it will take care of, as far as getting your shock re-valved i dont think that is a problem. My shock is from a stock swinger i think and its on my +2 now and if feels great.

The +1 1/4 swinger is money well spent. It tames the front end, but still allows wheelies when you want to wheelie and doesn't affect the EX's great balance point in a negative manner. Whoops are easier to tackle due to the longer wheelbase, and turning and handling overall are improved. A great mod to do, a must IMO for any EX with a modified powerplant. You will need a chain that is atleast 4 links longer, and get the rear shock revalved as well.

i agree.

i had a lsr +1 1/4. i loved it. made jumps, turns and whoops much easier.
