    Talking Can I wheelie with a +3 swinger?

    How hard is it to wheelie with a plus 3 swinger compared to stock length on '85 250r? Anyone with any experience in this area?

    I've seen Ronnie (yamahondaman) go up crazy high on his tri-z with a 12+ swinger!

    With the extended swingarm, say 3", how much different is it on the trails when when you want to "zig-zag" and get around tighter trails?

    i'll say YES!!!
    with my +6 and relatively stock motor(check my sig for details),
    4th gear wheelies, no problem.
    it jumps TOTALLY different,
    and as far as zig-zags, lean forward and hit the gas.
    it spins around alot quicker(dumped it a couple of times getting used to it, LOL).
    hope this helps

    Well I have a few extra swingarms, I think I'll send one out soon to a board member who pmed me. I'll go +3 and see how I like it. Does anyone know if Derricks 450 has the stock swinger? I have a 450 yamaha, I want to try and stuff that in one of my Zs. I wasn't able to find the thread with his build info, can someone post a link? I will keep looking in the meantime.

    It's all in the gearing my friend....... I'd say with 12/41 gearing that puppy should point towards the sky when you need it too......
