i have a small issue i need some advice on, i currently have the stock swingarm on my blasty, i do have a +4 but its not installed yet till i get some extra time !!
with my stock swinger on i have a kfx400 rear shock and i believe they are a few inches longer than the stock shock. because of the extra length of the rear shock it seems to me that there is extra drag on the bottom chain roller. the bottom roller on my swinger has wore out and broke off, i put a new one on and i think this one is gonna do the same thing.
my question is...if i still have the stock swinger and longer shock on should i just do away with the bottom roller because of the added stress on it from the chain, with the bigger angle of the swinger because of the shock. the chain really rides on the roller tight, instead of the chain just barely riding over it with the stock shock.
if this is confusing let me know xcause i can take some pics to show everyone exactly what im talking about
thanx everyone for any opinions
