Okay, I'm thinking about getting a +2 swingarm for the ex. I'd like to make it a bit more stable for hillclimbing and just normal trail riding. Now, are there any adverse effects to this? For those who have one, can you still raise the front end easy enough? I'd just like to calm down the crazy thing. lol. Thanks.

Go with a +1.25 swingarm,,,just about everyone makes them and it's not a special order. Only disadvantage is you'll have a wider turning radius,,O and you'll need to add 2 links to your stock chain...:cool:

it will be harder to wheelie and will go straight better but have a slightly higher turning radius

Thanks for the replies guys. Another question, what manufacturer should I go with? Its got tons of torque, I'm sure it will wheelie fine. At least I hope so. :eek: Thanks guys.

This is not a advertisement.
But I heard.... ATV FourPlay make great suspension components.
And usually has them in stock.
What kind of A arms on your bike?
measure your W.B. on EX it best to keep it right around 53-54".
This will pull your front end closer to the frame and keep more weight on the front end.

Yep, Four Play arms are sweet! Here is a 88 R swingarm on the left, stock EX Swingarm in the middle, and a +2 EX Swingarm on the right.

Thanks Chef,
We bust our ARSS for the customer. And make some killer products. Some people would rather pay an extra $50.00 for a manufacturers name. Thats cool, I wish I had that kind of extra cash.

The really cool thing I like about the Four Play arms is that they are the only tube design swingarm that wont snap if you hit a whoop too hard. I think there is one other place that builds them, but I cant remember the name. I saw a Chrome Four Play arm for a raptor on Ebay, some sweet stuff! :eek: :cool:
