[Blown97Stang]

we are planning a trip to little sahara at the end of april and my brother is on my @$$ that my 400ex just wont cut it in the loose sand there he has been I havent and he rides a 110 hp banshee as anybody been there with 400ex that can shine some light on this subject for me

slap some paddles and you should be fine.. don't expect to compete with him or anything like that bike

Drop a tooth in the front. sometimes I might jet slightly rich.

You will be fine as long as you don't over paddle it.:macho

ive been about 4 times. its a blast my 400 is stock except for a s/o fmf pipe. mine does great, but like the other guy said dont plan on smokin any banshees out there.

[atvRiDa400ex]

haha yea u will be fine with paddles...and i will tell you from experience that if you drop a tooth you will have an easier time!

[BossmanEX]

Ive never been myself but I have friends who have. When I was thinking of going, they reccomended to me extra spark plugs, a recharge kit (cleaning kit) for your filter if it is cleanable and some jets. As far as tires go, get a set of paddles for the rear and you should have a blast. You wont be running the dunes like some but you will have lots of fun.

[Unverfehrt400ex]

how bad will it be without paddles. Were headin out there next week and i didnt have the cash to get any before then. so ive just got the Razr 2's

[tp300ex]

youll be ok just let the air out of them

[blown331]

My first trip to Glamis (I know its not little sahara but same ballpark) I didn't run paddles on my dirtbike or my 400ex.

Expect to get stuck a few times, just pull yourself out and go. I climbed anything the raptor (on paddles) and the CRF450 (on a paddle) would climb. You just might need a running start on a few hills, no biggie.

Either way, you will have a blast. My friends were saying I wouldnt be able to keep up either but I did.

Plus, who rides a 110hp banshee all day? They are going to stick to one hill probably and drag race. not fun in my books, hitting bowls 5th gear pinned is fun to me :)

[atvRiDa400ex]

yup just take a bit of air out so you have a lil more grab

[Honda2000]

Get a smaller front sprocket, because you probably won't be riding on your rev limiter, get a set of paddles, if you don't have a pair or can't get one just air down your tires. Just to tell you I had a friend who thought on the other side of the dune it was flat, well he found out the hard way that the dunes peak. Have fun i wish i could go down there!!
