My raptor 700 wont stay down, I'm thinking about buying a longer swingarm, will this work or is there a better way, i bought and installed a nitrous system too and it's impossible to use because its hard enough to keep four wheels on the ground with out another 40+ horsepower. If a longer swingarm is the way to go what is the best/cheapest way to go. Thanks.

 

yes, a longer swingarm will deffinately help. you can get em from rockmountainatv or try lonestar racing, or even ace fabrication. If you do this you will also have to buy a longer chain to accomodate the swing arm. also it will change the way the bike rides.

good luck

 

well the NOS shouldnt have anything to do with it unless your using it through every gear, but usually dont people use it when there in top gear? i may be wrong. but instead of spending aton of money on a new swingarm you could just chnage the gearing with the sprockets for under 15 bucks..... rather than $700+

 

Check out T-Dub he makes a damn fine swinger at a real reasonable price for the 700R. I couldn't be happier with mine. Link

 

I have a new 700 i just got about 3 weeks ago and I have a problem with the front as well. It will stand up through 4 gears. I have a friend that put weight on the front end and that seem to help a lot but that is for short stright runs. I have a extended swing are from lone star and it did not seem to help much. I also have + out the front with no help their the weight seem to help the best for me and standing up over the handle bars. I have a guy we ride with and he has a NOS system but it is on a kawasaki 700 with auto tran and he never kicks it is till he is going about 40 mph.
I would never try NOS on a shift type machine miss a gear and ouch!!!!

 

How much do you guys weigh, I have an 06 and 07 and weigh about 240. Mine like to come up but not to the point of coming over. If youre lighter than me I could understand your problem but on mine if you stay in the throttle and lean up its a very managable wheelie through 1st and 2nd 3rd usaually sits down but thats what makes these things so much fun to ride

 

Yep the weight is not the same. I come in at 150 and that is wet with rocks in my pockets [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
I guess that is why i even come up in 4th but I love it.

 

i looked at the T-dub swingarm and its nice, do i have to buy anything to supplement it, like bearings or brake lines?
