i really doubt you on that one brian....you'll start goin and then start spinin and go down unless you have paddles..and even if you did it'd suck up to much power

If a 400EX barely makes it up, it's unlikely. You might be able to get one up there with big floatation tires, to stay on top of the sand instead of powering through it.

My buddy had an 185cc 4-stroke three-wheeler. It had big fat balloon tires because it had no rear suspension. He used let most of the air out of those rear tires and it would climb places my 250X with paddles couldn't go up, and he out-weighed me by forty pounds.

So, from the sounds of the descriptions, it's possible to get the Recon up the face, but it is unlikely. It certainly won't happen with the stock tires on it.

Believe it or not I took my wifes 200SX with it's ballon knobby tires up it at the end of the year last year. The sand was really forgiving on that trip for some odd reason. :confused:

I tried it again this year and there is no way it would go..
