A-Arms for Recreational Trail Rider?
There are lots of manufacturers selling A-Arms and Swingarms for the 400EX. Does wider A-Arms or a longer swingarm make enough of a difference for a trail rider. We ride dunes, mountain trails, and desert trails. No MX racing. Are the MX racers the only one that can benefit or?

Nope,,,,get you a set of Houser racing arms,,,+1 wide and 1/2 inch forward,,,you won't need new shocks and it does make a difference..Houser has a webpage in the links section.
Well I might have lied,,you might wanna get new shocks cuz they will be a little softer and I don't know if want that..
Wonder Whats Next?
Ya get the +1 inch for the cross country and if you have bottomed the shocks out just trail riding u might want to get new front shocks.
05 450R All the good stuff...
Well this weekend when I went to the practice track I was hitting all the big jumps and it really didn't bottom out to bad,,,,I figured once I hit the stepdown,,,which I guess is about a 45-50 foot downhill double, and my frontend soaked it up pretty good. Only a few spots were I came close to bottoming it out,,,I'll still be getting them revalved but for now they're working pretty good. Now I don't know how stocker front shocks will work but my triplerates are doin the job just fine..

2 wheels or 4 wheels?
Here is a question for ya, if you get extend a-arms do you need a wider rear axle? And vis-vera?
2002 KTM 400 EXC, this bike is awsome!
Quads I use to own:
FDO 463ex, Gas Gas 300, Gas Gas 450, Rancher, Yamaha Warrior, ATC Big Red.
If you can't afford to fix it or replace it, don't ask to ride it!

Ok. Everyone seems to think their is benifit to the trail rider. What in? Stability? Cornering? Jumping?
Is +2 too much?
I'm curious too...
I race hare scrambles - so I don't want anything too wide. With the stock components, I seem to have little trouble getting through the tight sections (most of the time!).
Anyway, to the folks that have plus 1" a-arms and a 2" extended rear axle - how much benefit do you feel you gain from a 2" wider quad. Is it worth spending all that money for 2" of width?
Thanks,
ogre
2 wheels or 4 wheels?
I think that when they say +1 or 2 that is 1 or 2 inches per side. So if you went +2 that would make the quad 4 inches wider.
