[QUOTE="Joburble, post: 1418716, member: 108776"] I did not say "paddle tires in sand killed motors", I was talking specifically about the KDX200. I have ridden many bikes in deep soft sand and have found that the KDX200 unless ridden 'balls to the wall', 'hard on the stopper', flat knacker', 'WFO' has a hard time doing the work at any decent speed. The key words here are "Deep Soft Sand", and unless your bike has power to spare which the KDX200 does not, then it'll be VERY VERY hard work on the motor. Now, I appreciate that what we expect in regard to performance in the sand will differ depending on how we ride, but as a general rule I'd say she's under powered. Be kind to the bike and you'll still have a lot of fun, but expect it to go hard all day and I think that's where you may have a problem. In regard to "traction is traction", simply not so. Even a quick thought about the contact patch difference between deep soft sand and a road surface should alert you to that. (On re-reading that it sounded a bit harsh Mudpack, I didn't mean it to be offensive). [/QUOTE]
