I have a lonestar no-link swingarm on my 250r geom hybrid chassis.

The swingarm measures 17.5" from center to center, i was told that the 89 swingarm measures 18.5" from center to center.

Is mine a -1? And if so is this ok to run mx or xc with?

I am hearing that its a TT setup but not sure?

Let me know thanks

we've taken tt bikes with short arms to the woods. changed tires and adjusted shocks and headed out.. i didn't have a problem, hooked up good for me. all i know to do is try it and see how it works for you, you might experience a little buck in the rear. but you might like the handle it has?

I prefer the -1 on the DC-2 setups for MX

Swingarm 17.5" is the standard length for aftermarket mx swingarms. Roll, Laeger, etc. If the swingarm was a TT swingarm it would be more like 15.0" center to center. The swingarm you have will work fine for both mx and xc.
