should we add gearing on this? :grin_nod:

 

Raptor 700
59.3hp, 51.3 ft-lb tq
CP 11:1 stock bore/stroke, Web Stage III, no porting (soon to be done and TB porting)
Pro Design K&N w/ outerwear, Barker Duals
Stock swinger (soon to be +4)
Hillshooting, racing, general duning/play
North Sand Hills aka Walden, Colorado @ 8,500 ft above sea level
Skat Trak Haulers 22x11x8 8 paddle
14/40 gearing

 

I sold the bike, but kept the wheels.

Rear: ITP Sand Stars 20x11x10
Front: Dune Tracker 22x8x10

Stock motor, Yoshi Exhaust, K&N w/o Lid, rejetted

12/42 gearing

notes - I used to have 21" fronts - the ones with the dotted center ridge. I prefer the larger 22" with the "harder carving" solid center ridge.

I like these, they work well for playing in the sand and still being able to turn. My gearing is too short and I still can't pull 3rd up steep hills like I'd like to. I keep my gearing this short though because I run 23" XTC's more than I run paddles.

I've put them through some abuse. 2+ miles of 40mph on concrete, Some large sharp bolders, random logs, etc. The paddles are worn and torn/missing a few small chunks but they haven't had any flats or come apart. I doubt these are the absolute for performance if you run nice sand only, but Arkansas sand has plenty of random crap between the smooth sand so I like them and would buy them again.

 

good idea MD

01 660

stock + big 3
k&n + holes in lid
hmf slip-on
jet kit

front Kenda dune runners on ITP standard steel rims $105 Rocky Mountain Atv

I got around just as good as a friend who had 500 in Skat Trak edges and mohawks.

03 Raptor 660

Swingarm length; +4
Type of dune riding; not much sand here. (One big sandpile dredged out of the river over the years. 5 acres maybe?)
What dunes you ride Little Sahara soon hopefully!
Paddle tires; Sandstars 20/1?/10

I probably can't add much good info here, but I like my sandstars for our little "dune"! LOL

Where is Silver Lake at exactly? Maybe it'd be closer than LS for us.

 

Any more setups?

I think my gearing is a little too short. I'm about to go for 13/40, thinking about 14/40. Motor is Big 3 + stg 1 cam. I dont know if the 14/40 will be too long and make it doggy.
