[unstopable1]

I just installed a lonestar +4 swingarm and I need a bigger chain I tried adding more links to my stock chain but that was making me to mad.So I'm going to buy another chain.How many links will I have to have to make a good fit?I was going to measure how much I would need but I'm not to good when it comes to things like that so any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Why don't you call lonestar and ask them. I'm sure they know.


Also let me know how you like it after it's finished... I've been wanting a chrome +4 for my 400...

I don't have there phone number or I would.I know a couple of people on here has a +4 so figured they would be able to tell me.
But I will tell you how it all works out whenever I can find the right length for my chain.

When I went with a +4 swingarm on my R I wasn't sure how many links I would need either. I just got a 120 link DID chain and cut it down to the right length. The 120 is the same price or less than the cut to length ones. I think it was like $65 for mine (520 x-ring). Stock R length is 96 and I think when it was cut to length it was like 108 links.

Thanks, 108 is what I come up with I have extra links already if i need them but I was trying to find one that was the right size so I wouldn't have to take apart links and re-assemble the chain.I can fix almost anything on my EX but for some reason I get so mad when I have to work on a chain I feel like I could chew through the thing.

Thanks

If you can do that I think you need to switch to a better chain brand :p
It's nice to be able to order the right size, but I figured that since I didn't know exactly how long I needed it, and wasn't sure yet on what sprockets I was going to use (which can mandate 1 more or 1 less link) I'd be better off going too long and cutting off what I didn't need. I didn't want to have more than 1 master link. Kinda anal about how my quad looks :D

[unstopable1]

Yeah I know what you're saying but I was hoping to find an exact fit.I figured someone here with the same setup would tell me how many links they used.How many links are on a stock 400ex chain?

Do you use a chain breaker? I dont see how your having troubles. The chain is my last worry when i put my swing arma nd motor back in this weekend.

No I wasn't using a chain breaker but I do need to invest in one.

Well when you only weigh 125lbs its kinda hard to keep the front down when you're climbing a hill that looks like a wall.I'm not no hardcore MX rider so the only thing I really do is trail ride and a few AMA Hillclimbs so yes I will please tell you again I put a +4 Swingarm on my EX.

[ChadEXer]

Ive got a +5 swingarm on mine. Probably fixing to go with a light weight +6 drag swingarm.

[unstopable1]

ChadExer,
How many links didyou have to use on your +5?

[ChadEXer]

I dont remember. I got that expensive Sidewinder Ti-Moly chain and the sprockets at the same time. They just sent me 120 links. I dont remember how many of them I cut off.

+4 is just way to much over kill for me..If ur gonna be hitting the dunes than ya it is good,but not for trails and what not,sorry if i miss led ya;)

[unstopable1]

Outlaw,

Thats cool I knew what you meant.But I run in an AMA Hillclimb and it is very steep so I got the +4 to keep me from flipping it and I run in a few local drag races so it will also help me keep the front end on the ground.

[ChadEXer]

I cant keep my front end on the ground with a +5, starting in 2nd gear!
