Any CSC TT250 riders know of an aftermarket swingarm?

BitcoinDood · 02-07-2020, 02:50 PM

I need to order a swing arm for the TT 250. I've had a hell of a time with this one. It's really my only gripe with this bike.

No matter what I did I was constantly adjusting the chain. I even bought an expensive aftermarket chain think the stock one was stretching. Didn't really seem to help though.

I cranked down on the axle nuts and it started bending the swing arm. Between winter riding and off-roading I've got rust and a crack in it now. Definitely needs to be replaced this spring.

My question is, has anyone used a different swing arm on it? I remember seeing a post here of somebody swapping the swingarm on their hawk. I looked for it, but couldn't find it. Has anyone tried a different swing arm on the
TT-250? Any suggestions?

The swing arm for the Brozz250 Blue eagle is a much better swing arm with better adjusters. Mega Dan bought one and does fit. https://shop.brozz250.com/eshopprod_...r_Absorber.htm

I like that a lot and the price is half the price of the CSC OEM replacement! Thanks, at that price, I'm going to try it. Looks like exactly what I was looking for.

Don't forget to order the chain adjuster. those are separate.

And the axle/ bolt and nut, Megadan said the bolt was too long from the hawk.

I forgot about that.

Yeah you need to order that too.

Does the new TT have another better swing arm? Yeah prob the Bross idea is a good one.
Careful tho if you have a later TT250 with the offset type sprocket I am not sure if the rear hub is the only difference.
I spotted the change while I was at CSC a few months ago.

Make sure you're not tightening the chain too much. That can cause the chain to stretch in a heartbeat. You probably need about 30-40mm static (unladen) chain play. If there's no slack when you're sitting on it, the first bump will stretch the chain.

Csc just dropped a new aluminum swing arm thru their site as well as hubs.

Really, I'll have to look for that. I just called down there and asked the guy if there was an aftermarket swing arm available and whoever I talked to said no. You have a link by any chance?

I noticed a difference where the disc brake mounts too. That could be a problem too. There's like a pin that sticks out on the TT250 that holds the break mount in place.

Surferbum,

Just went to the CSC site and can't find the aluminum swing arm you mention. Can you post a link?

Thanks
