I have a 2002 kdx 200 with vforce 3 reeds full fmf system no air box lid a k&n air filter and will be putting in a new top end soon because i might be going to the dunes. I would like to get some advice on what kind of paddle tire what size and anything else i may need to know about riding in sand. Thanks for replys!

Buy a really, really nice paddle tire and then a 450 to mount it on!

I used to do a lot of dune riding. Back in the day for 2 strokes you ran a 6 paddle for 125's, 250=8 paddles, & open 10 paddle. (Ran a 9 paddle on my YZ426 and KTM 520) I think a 6 would be good on a 200. I like to throw on a smaller rear sprocket, to get the wheel further back. Tall paddle tires like to rip off the air box shock flap. Dunes can be lower elevation and higher temps so fatter jetting is good as well as quality fuel, I used to run avgas or race fuel to keep engines cool.
