Suspension and Chassis / Need info on 400ex arms with 06 450r spindles and hubs.

« on: October 13, 2014, 01:49:41 PM »

I have the performance arms, the center caster adjustment looks great, I'm not sure what degree it is, but laz at gt thunder says the top ball joint needs to be about a 1/4" behind the lower one so that's how I've always set them up and it works great. I can still move the arm toward the front for mx or back for desert, the center setting will be good for xc or just all around trail riding.

Got the arms and 04/05 450r spindles on tonight and there's plenty of adjustment to setup however you want. I also think there's enough to run the 06+ 450r spindles and hubs.

I talked with jd performance when ordering my arms and he says the 04/05 will have better adjustability over the 06+. My arms should be in today so I'll have more info this weekend sometime.

I bought a set for the 250r and I'm going to run 04/05 450r spindles and hubs.

I've read about the spacers needed,the measurements I took were from the left to right mount point going straight across the frame. The 250r was 8" across and the 400 was 7-1/2" if that makes since. The lowers were the same on both 5-1/2". The 04-05 450r spindles would probably work great for this setup, but they are really expensive compared to the 06+ and they are kinda getting harder to find also. My goal is to use the 450 stuff so parts are easily found if needed.

The upper 400ex a arm mount points are 7-1/2" apart ant the lowers are 5-1/2
250r is 8" upper and 5-1/2" lower, that already puts me at a 1/4" each side.  I guess it all comes down to spindle difference at that point. My r is a 86, not sure if the spindles or frame mount points changed for other years.

I'm about to order a new set of a arms,and I'm wanting to run 06 450r spindles and hubs. The 450 spindles are the same geometry as the 400ex, will I run into camber issues?im thinking about getting 400ex alba arms, but I'm just worried I might end up with positive camber that I can't adjust out. If I get 250r arms will I be able to run  450 spindles and still get my camber correct. Thanks

Well the motosport bolt buy was a bust, they contacted me today to tell me that the bolt is discontinued. So I'm still in need of a 88/89 swingarm to linkage bolt.

But if you happen to have a set,or a good linkage, I'll still buy them, just incase they send the wrong bolt.

Suspension and Chassis / Linkage bolts help

Is the outer diameter of the Allen head just big enough to fit the hole. There's nothing in the hole for the bolt to rest against. It looks like it will snug against the linkage.
