My First Ever Trip To The Dunes (Not What I Expected)
My first trip to the sand dunes at Silver Lake Michigan was a learning experience for sure. Even with the technical difficulties, it was still a great trip and it was awesome to meet several subscribers and see some incredible sand machines!

Haters are going to love this video I'm sure 😂 I know you guys were looking forward to seeing the R run at the dunes and I feel like a let down. Parts are on the way and I will be torture testing the R soon after to make sure it doesn't overheat again. Next trip is to Little Sahara! Thanks for watching my video and I love all you guys... even the haters.

Try tuning it real rich, guaranteed it won’t go up to 250 like it did before.

@djmystery7235 4 года назад

I ran my Yamaha blaster completely out of gas on a full pull one time, I forgot to open the gas up, the engine was a little locked up to, I just pushed a little harder until it gave and the quad still ran super strong after that.

The sand moves around so much it’s insane. Great post! Hope y’all have been back in the past 2 yrs! Enjoyed it! Thanx for sharing. Brings back a lot of great memories 💯🤙🏼🤟🏼🤘🏼

Nice to see a NACS racing bike still floating around proudly. NACS used to be big on the racing scene, cover shots and featured rides in dirt wheels magazine, and their shop was in my home town. Used to ride my bicycle about 5 1/2 miles to the shop and ride home with blaster parts and maintenance items hanging off my handles bars or stuffed into a backpack. Been a while since I’ve seen that graphics kit

I always wanted to go here but it’s on the other side of the country for me! It’s at least a 1000 miles to the nearest sand of any kind! I’m in the middle of Appalachia coal country we have hills and mud galore but no sand! But I have rode in about every other environment but never sand dunes! Hence the reason I always wanted to go here!

@kylexps 4 года назад

Michael Sabo, Do you think it could be from the radiator guard you put on. It may have blocked to much air flow. The jetting didnt seem that far off, even when the temps where at 250, the engine didnt seem to hang due to being lean. My money is on to restrictive air flow to the radiator.

No worries Mike, the Quad looks and sound awesome! This has happened to me many times on my "R".

Had a similar experience with my cr125. Just rebuilt did heat cycles and ride a little bit when down a dirt road for a bit and than locked up 3 days after I rebuilt top end and had bike down to frame. And cleaned everything and put back together. Was so mad about that due to it being only 3 days ahah but yeah can’t wait to see the trx back up and Rippen!

Same thing happened to my quadzilla 2 weeks ago, lost compression and found the Wiseco piston shrunk in the bore. Piston to wall clearance was double the spec. Ordered a new wossner piston and am gonna go another size up. Shit happens, if you’re not breaking it you’re not riding hard enough.

@racerx9223 4 года назад

Dude, just my opinion but i like the setup on smartcarbs because you can shut the bike down, put the throttle wide open and turn the dial on top to adjust by clicks, right for rich, left for lean! Also they come with a TPS as an option for applicable stuff!

@caa3117 4 года назад

Keep your chin up Mike. If anybody riding 250r's says they have never blown up a motor they are not taking them out of the garage. I've blown up more than I'd like to admit. When in the sand its a lot of load and heat on the motor. Got to keep it on the rich side. Pistons are cheap so learning isn't to expensive. 😉

Don't fret over the blown motor. I've been riding and building dirt bikes and quads since the mid 90's and shit happens. There will always be a TON of bugs to work out on a build of that scope. Get her running again, take your time working out the bugs and getting it dialed in, and then the haters can drool over that badass 250R!
