thaughts on -3 swing arm

[dustinb]

i have an opportunity to buy one very cheap it -3 from stock right now and i am curenntly running a +1 swing arm i was told this -3 would make it much better at mx racing and jump better which is what i primarily do. would this be a good idea or no?

[LT2Fiddy]

-3 would probably be better in flattrack racing, i wouldnt think it would be better in MX because it wouldnt be as stable. i would say your +1 is better for MX.

i heard a -2 is good for a banshee for mx.

[Bandit]

for what quad?
on a banshee you need a -2 swing arm and +2 a arms to make it more "balanced" for a mx track because the motor sits to far forward making it nose heavy.

yeah it was you who told me that. it still sounds crazy to me. must just be the way i ride. lol. my front end spends 3/4's of the time pointed up.hehe

Thats a four inch change which will basically change everything. Keep that in mind.
