best dune trike?

[vartiak15]

what is the best trike or quad for the dunes. when i finish the x for the woods i want something for the dunes.

[CHAINSAW]

Something 2 stroke... Either 250R, Tri Z or T3..

[vartiak15]

are 2 stroke a pain to work on? i like the 4 but i know i have to get a 2 for the dunes. my dad bro and uncle say dont get a 2 stroke they are high matience. is this true?

[BigGreenMachine]

I wouldn't call them high maintanence at all. Change the piston rings and sparkplug every now and then and the rest is so simple to work on.

As for the dunes, anything 2 stroke is goin to be fun. I'd recommend a Banshee or any of the 250 2 stroke trikes(especially a TECATE!!!) :-P

[groundfly]

they may be higher to maintaine?, but as far as working on a 2-stroke. in my opinion it does'nt get any easier. there's just nothing there, it's simple.

[smokinp]

I'd go with a 250r,Z or tecate... ;)

[BigGreenMachine]

Yeah...topend has the cylinder and head containing the piston/rings and connecting rod...four bolts to remove the whole topend assembly. The bottom end is the most complicated part of the entire bike...has the gears, crank,shift forks and kick-starter...there is very little to work on.

You should get you a 350x, you can ride them in the dunes or the woods. a 250r is a little more fun on the sand though. here's a link on 2 strokes.

It all depends on your machine. Some 4 strokes are a pain in the butt,... and Ive been around some that the guy is always fighting to keep running. Ive also been around 2 strokes that are a huge headache.

Then again, Ive been around both 4 and 2 stroke trikes that run just like they rolled off the showroom floor in the mid 80's. Like they said above, 2 strokes are easy as hell to work on.
4 strokes may be more reliable, but there is nothing, NOTHING in the world like a perfect running 2 stroke on the dunes,.. thats a hard experience to beat 8)

Buy mine because it should only be ridden in the dunes because its so pretty :rolleyes:

[200xalltheway]

a 350x or a 250r would probably do pretty good on the dunes.

[vartiak15]

KASEY- wana build me a couuston atc500? do you got one? lets see some pics.

[3WheelsForever]

Id say any of the high performance 2 stroke trikes. Like these guys allready said working on the engine doesnt get to much easier. Not sure about the other 2 stroke trikes but on the T3 its great being able to do a top end rebuild with the engine still in the frame.

[vartiak15]

well if you got some totaly tricked dune trike let me see them im think a T3 or a tri-z. just got to decide between the two now.

250R and Tri Z are both the same way.. you can pull the cylinder off without pulling the motor.
