    Some 225dx help please

    So my 225dx has this weird little ticking sound after I shut it off it lasts about a minute and then stops so I'm not sure what that is also it doesnt have a kill switch on it so I just turn the key off will that do anything
    to it? One more question, I saw a guy on this forum who did a swingarm extension and i was wondering
    how I can do that
    Any answers would be helpful

    Thanks colton

    that is the noise of an engine cooling down, metal parts contracting as they cool.

    The way they are wired the key off position is a second kill switch it won't hurt nothing.

    You can't extend your swing arm on this model without having a custom driveline built. It is not a cost effective option, , it is easier and cheaper to extend the hubs and get smaller diameter tires on the rear. to extend the swing you would have to have a custom swing built as well because the driveline is housed in the swing arm.
    rectum nothin damn near killed them

    member brd812 has a good example of what that would look like he runs the smaller tires... he replaced his hubs for the newer yamaha 4 bolt style and runs spacers as well! his bike is a beauty take a look at it so u can get an idea! On the forum there is also a yamaha owners group feel free to join it alot of helpful info there..... ive joined it u can get the link off my homepage if ud like.
