flat track racing help

[Wr3sTl3b0y]

hey im looking to get into flat track racing with a 400ex and was wondering what kind of tires would be best for it also if its ideal to get a lowering kit

[hondariderdylan]

from what i see, getting a set of koosier racing slicks a lowering kit, and a sway bar is a must

but then again what do i know:confused:

umm I run American Racers, they seem to work better for me but to each their own. I would definitely get a sway bar before a lowering kit IMO.

Im a motocrosser at heart, but I started doing some tt in between mx races. Definatly want a sway bar. I run american racers as well, just make sure you got alot of tread on whatever brand you choose.

As others have said, get a swaybar. As for lowering kits, I wouldn't recommend them for TT tracks. They're fine for ovals though. You can use a lowering strut on the rear but try and find some shorter front shocks. Wider a-arms and axle will help alot. As for tires there are a lot more choices than there used to be. American Racer, Hoosier, Duro and Maxxis have or will have tires by mid summer. For sizes, go with 18x6x10 up front and 18x10x10 in the rear.
