[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 1418704, member: 18302"] Bottom line is you will be on the gas harder, use more power and generate more heat riding deep sand than any other type of riding. There's a reason you find mopeds and scooters on the road and not in the deep sand. They simply don't have enough power for the sand. Does a 21 year old KDX have enough power to be fun and reliable pulling an 8 paddle tire in the sand? I think so (crosses fingers), but if it were my bike, here is what I'd do: 1) Make sure the cooling system is working properly 2) Mix more oil than usual to improve lubrication, maybe go 24:1, or even 18:1 or 16:1. 3) Go at least one step richer on the main jet 4) Drop the clip to one lower groove on the needle 5) Consider putting in a spark plug one step colder than you run for the trail. After 1/2 tank of fuel, if it shows no sign of overheating or straining too hard, go back to your stock plug heat range and consider putting the needle clip back to its original position. All this costs you is the price of a new main jet and spark plug and few $ in oil, but you have added a big cushion in terms of protection from excess heat and poor lubrication. Oh, and bring lots of gas. You'll need it. Plan on hitting reserve in about 1/2 the miles and time it would take on the trail. [/QUOTE]
