    What length chain for +1.5" swinger?

    I have a +1.5" swingarm on my quad and need to know what length chain I'm going to need. It's time for a replacement and I don't feel like counting all the links...lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated....

    i'd guess maybe 2 to 3 links more than your stock chain length. I got away with my stock chain on my +1.25 Roll swinger.

    Holy moly, what sprocket sizes were you using, and how old was that stock chain? Must have stretched quite a bit.

    Well yeah the easy way would be to count the links, but I'm not sure what the previous owner did with it. It's stretched pretty bad, so I don't know if the guy took out a link or two. If he did, same size chain probably wouldn't fit when new. That's the main reason I'm asking. I guess I may have to count and hope it works out....

    you can always order it a few links longer than you need, and get a chain breaker too. They're a great tool to have around anyways.
