yamaholic125 Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 hey guys sorry for this, first off i do have a banshee and we are taking it to the dunes but, i also have a 1999 yz 125 and i wanna put paddles on it for the dunes, has any one done this with a 125, the guys at the stupid shop in wetaskwin said i would fry my motor is this true, and has some one done this before Quote
ledofthezep Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 You'll be just fine...you're not going to hurt it, I'd go with an 8 paddle if I were you, but check rockymountain. Quote
Yamahammer Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 I have herd the same thing unless you are a little guy, you need a 250 or bigger to run a paddle in the sand. It has alot of drag and will overheat the motor quick. Quote
SheeOfGlamis27 Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 thats bullshit. if your around 180 or less youll be koo. shit when i was like 120 i rode my old YZ 80 in the dunes of Mother Glamis and it did just fine. you just have to haul ass. and yeah get an 8 paddle and ittl be cool. you need to be smart when riding a smaller engine in the dunes. you will be shifting constantly or else the engine will sieze. but thats common sense. have fun!

yamaholic125 Posted August 13, 2004 Author Report Posted August 13, 2004 ok well im 125 lbs and i am gunna order a 6 paddle Quote
sandgrencivic2k1 Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 yea get a 6 paddles, it wont dig as much so you will get better spin for the smaller engine, I c 125 dirt bikes all the time, and they run fine. Quote
hamuel Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 the shop where i got my sandstars. said the same thing about me putting them on my shee. because itp said the tires should only be used on a 400cc or above bike. sales people some time don't got a clue what there talking about Quote
dnhyoung Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 one thing I've found out with riding a dirt bike on the sadn is that you will also want to let a little bit of air out of the front tire, helps with turning, and you stay on top of the sand.. Quote
Banshee~ Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 You couldent get me on a dirtbike in the sanddunes look in this pic if you look close in the middle of us you can see a ktm 80-85 what ever it is the silly goose ran out of gas and had to ride on the back of his bro's bike and he had paddles Quote
yamaholic125 Posted August 23, 2004 Author Report Posted August 23, 2004 just got back from the dunes today, i ended up getting the 8 paddle and my yami 125 kicked ass, i killed my buddy on his yz400f but he is a fat ass, i love dunes, i wanna go to glamis but i live in canada so its kinda hard Quote
