All you really need is big paddle dune tires in the front and back. I have a polaris 400 2 stroke ya its a 2 stroke and it rocks in 4 wheel drive in the dunes I can get up more hills than the raptors or yfz's can ever climb. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

BULL ****
there aint' a snow ball's chance in hel! that a polaris 400 2 stroke is going to beat a raptor 660 or 700r or a yfz 450 in the sand i don't care if you do put paddels on all four wheels it just aint' gona happen there's at least a 150lbs difference and a lot bigger difference in power.

I'm not sure what type of mods are avalible for that kazuma i have never worked on one but a paddle tire would make a dig difference for that bike i would probable go with an 8 paddle tire i would get a straight paddled tire and not a V paddle. there are two basic types of paddles you can get one is a molded tire witch is molded into one solid piece of rubber the other type is a buffed tire witch is a tire that is shaved or ground to roughen up the surface of the tire and then each individual paddle is glued on to the carcase. the only advantage's to the molded tire is the price and durability if you ride in dunes that have a lot of rockes or thorns. the advantage to the buffed tire is its lighter for racing and if you go with a tripple buff or ultra buff (which is where the carcas is ground down to the first layer of cord making the tire strechy) the faster you spin the tire the bigger your tire gets witch affectively changes your gear ratio making you go faster kind of like a top fuel drag racer only not as big of change. the problem with the tripple buff is that due to their thin carcas they dont hold air well.

if i were you for that bike i would go with the molded tire yes it is heavyer but it is cheaper and ouy dont have enough power to worry about that little bit of weight.

he didn't saw anything about beeting anyone just going up. dirtwheels put paddles on all 4 wheels of a scrambler 500 a couple years back and went up every hill were they were. and the 400 polaris 2 smoke can get to 76hp for real cheap. im not going to follow this post but if your curious for some links let me know(PM).

 

they dont stand a chance in the sand against me they just spin i climb up at rapid speeds.

 

what do they have knobies on and there climbing in reverse
what dunes do you ride at

 

I beat them when there going forward with paddle tires on.

I ride at my local pit which is all sand.

 

oh so have you ever riden at a real set of dunes like st. anthonys or dumont

 

nope just dune riding is boring. ya need water and mud to fly through.

 

Paddles will get the 150 around on the small stuff. Avoid the bigger and steeper dunes.
