I currently have a 02 Kodiak. Love the bike. I am looking to buy another bike (Sport). However I want to run 25-26" tires on it. I like the sport look but like big tires. I can not find a company that makes lifts for sport bikes. I am not sure what bike i will buy but most likely a yamaha.

can i as you a quastion? do you think you will be able to fit a 25 inch back tire on a sport quad without puting an extended swing arm on it? my raptor wouldnt be able to fit it

 

this is the information i am looking for. I want to lift a sport bike to fix 25-26. If i have to put a extended swing arm on the bike then so be it.

 

u wanna lift a sport bike? then i hope u can weld real good cuz it's gonna be a custom job. ur gonna have to strip it down to the frame, and figure out how to make it taller. u can buy an extended swing arm tho. personally, i think you should get a utility quad with a lot of power, but some full bore or maier plastic, and make custom mounts for the plastic, that would be less work, and reliable. and u would have the sport quad plastic.

 

My cousin had 25 inch Blackwaters on a warrior. There was nothing special or modified on it, to hold the tires.

 

What are you going to use this sport bike for? I think by putting that size tire on it, your going to pretty much take the sport out of it...handeling will suffer, as will the power..even with regearing for the tire size. If you put an extended swingarm on your going to affect your turning ability...with the taller tire, your changing your ride height which will also affect your handeling....the weight of 4 25" tires will seriously affect your suspension components as well...again affecting the handeling of the quad...
You really need to figure out what your needs are going to be with the quad, then start making decisions based on those needs, not just the sport bike "look". This will ensure you end up with something you like, and not regret purchasing later............

 

 

This is a great idea dont listen to these guys, i rode with a guy that had a raptor that had 25 inch mud lites on it all the way around, it worked awsome. I wanted to get this setup for my zilla but cant get the 12 inch rims with right bolt pattern. I will warn you, you will have to run a pipe on the raptor so it will make a bit more power and run the tires with more air than normal or you will lose the handleing. This guy didnt have to mod anything. And another thing make sure you buy a really light tire like the mudlites or similar. no 6 ply.
