Race season will soon be here just wondering if everyone thinks a +2 swingarm will help because when cornering the bike likes to wheelie coming out of turns I think a longer swingarm will help exiting corners but I have heard it also pushing the front when entering when you go longer I have read that some are only going +1 I think if I am going to spend that kind of $$ I will go +2. Let me know what you think and if anyone has went longer please let us know.

 

I just called Lonestar and they said that most people that are racing mx or xc are going with the +1 man I am not sure what to go with I am sitting here looking at a ruler and I cant imagine that a 1inch longer swingarm would make a difference a +2 looks like it would but Ls is saying that +1 makes a good noticable differance but they are making $$$ either way so maybe +1 is the way to go. What does everyone think.

 

One inch longer makes a ton more difference than you could imagine. Go with what the experts are telling you.

 

I'm not sure how much longer to go, but I definately believe that either would help the Raptor. I know Lonestar makes a 1 1/2" longer for the 400EX, and that's what I was considering for my Raptor. Either way it should help out, especially if you get the round housing, the stock chain adjustment just doesn't cut it if you ask me. The very first time I took my Raptor to the track I noticed that it felt a bit too short, so I am eventaully planning to swap out my swingarm also. Let me know what you come up with.
