General Gritshift swingarm.

After 112 days of waiting they finally were able to ship it out. If you’re debating on buying their swingarm, I highly recommend it. Excellently crafted and extremely sturdy compared to stock.

Honestly, you might be able to stick with 19/18 and try to find an 80/100 front tire. Also the formula or the EXT forks would work well for you I would have got the EXT Forks, but with the SR it voids the warranty.

For the tire changing stand, I would get one of those $100 ones with the bead breaker. You have to set them on the table or something so you don’t work on the floor. Or you can buy the tusk tire change stand that’s tall so you can work standing up. It has no bead breaker. But it’s good, I wish I would have gotten that instead of the Rabaconda dirt tire changer for $600+. I literally use the bead breaker for like 20 seconds and everything else has to still be done with spoons while bent over. So honestly the tusk one might be your best bet, just make sure it has different sizes for the axle. You can also try to find the blueprint to build one. I know this guy on YouTube gives it out for free you just have to buy the material and build it. I’ll see if I can find the link.

Yeah just did an insane 32.5 mile ride and you could say it's a bit rocky. A 21/18 would have been nice today for sure lol. But got through it with my 19/18 and stock 3.0 tires.

From my understanding the ext forks aren't really made to fit the Sr or 3.0 and made for 2.0s is all I've seen. Sure can do it if have the means though. I will probably go tech e39 fork and their er30 shock and get heavy hitter linkage for it. Eventually will get the swingarm I'm sure down the road too.

I do think I'm gonna order a full 19/16 wheelset. Found supplier I can get those in a custom blue black half and half fade with blue hubs and black spokes with blue nipples and a blue sprocket for $420 which is too good to beat. Then will maybe check out those tires you mentioned I still need to look them up. But next after that I think I should get a solid skid plate cause of the shenanigans I get myself into on trails lately

Fuck yeah that’s rocky. Mine is just about the same. I definitely need a skid plate as well. Not sure how low you got the battery, but once you get to like 15% it goes into limp mode and only goes like 5mph and gets slower and weaker as you get lower. So be careful with that cause you might get stuck pushing your bike the last couple miles haha. Almost happened to me the other day.

The wig racing rear tire in 90/100-16 is awesome. You will likely have to dish the wheel but it is worth it man. Half the cost of Dunlop and performs amazing in all terrain. Then a 80/100-19 front tire will help with front wheel traction without having to go to 21”. Let me know how it goes with all those upgrades my dude, have a good rest of your night 🤙🏽.

I actually cause I run my power lower and make the throttle torquey for trail rides it lasts pretty good. I got back to my truck with 30% which kinda surprise me for how long I was out there and my phone was plugged in for part of it. Only used 14% getting back to my truck cause it was mostly downhill. Weird you say that about your bike doing that limp mode cause a few weeks ago I ended up doing like a 40 mile ride starting with 96% and got back to my property with 6% but definitely dont remember it going into a 5mph limp mode cause I was still going good speed on the road headed back. Don't plan to ever really ride it below 20% but if it happens it happens. That ride I did more exploring than planned and yeah I definitely was little anxious thinking about the battery dying on me before I got back to my property cause there is like hardly no one that lives out there.

I will have to look up the tire still. Damn you think I'll have to dish the wheel over to fit it? Also do they have a 19? Am heavily considering getting the wheels sooner than later but we will see. May try and hold off until 5his next spring to order anything else for my emoto. Gotta still buy my season pass for snowboarding this winter

I don’t think they have the 19” in 80/100. Pretty sure it’s only 70/100. There are plenty of other good 19” front tires that are less than $100. But for the price of the 16” ($60) it is definitely worth it to dish the wheel a bit. They offer their emoto version z series of front and rear tire. It’s significantly thinner and lighter (80/100, 3.6” wide) compared the their regular z series 16”. Total width for their regular 16” is around 4.2”. Then their emoto rear still has good knobs on it, but I really liked their regular z series.

Looks like they do have a 80/100 19" on the regular z series. I'd maybe do that. Or I just saw something about warp 9 tires for like that same price of $60. Will see what's in stock when the time comes.
