I already have a new plus 1.25" swing arm for a 400ex. I would like to use it instead of buying a new one.

All you need to change is the sleave that goes through the needle bearings everything else is the same i've been useing 400ex swinger since mine was new with no troubles.

i used a 400ex swingarm on my 450 and i had trouble with chain allignment. all i had to do to fix it was turn the front sprocket around and the chain lined up nice. it did not come off anymore after i did this. you can use the sleeves from your stock swingarm pivot. also i had to cut and fabricate my stock chain slide, but the original 400ex slide may work fine for you.

Is the lenght the same on both? This is good to know incase I ever step up to the 450.

I have been running a Leager 400EX Swingarm on my 450R since Feb last year. It works great!.
The 450R aftermarket and the 400EX aftermarket both say there +1 1/4 and they are the same so UI would think that the stock ones would be also...
