Paddle Tire Riding
FuriouSly:
I think you have that wiggle deal down Arigato. I didn't think about the out of balance tire situation, but now that you figured it out it makes sense. Does it over 50 MPH on smooth straight runs... duhhh, out of balance. Not really headshake, but a wiggly vibration in the front. I need to get a new rear tire on the street bike, so I am going to take the front ribbed tire of the KX5 with me so I can have them balance it also. Very excited about the resolution of yet another bug in the system.

I rode my KX one time in Glamis after days of rain and I hated them! The one thing I learned was that I will never go to the dunes without all my tire options! Last year at the Coral Pinks I had to change to my paddles from the hole shots on my V700 quad, because it was so fine and dry. :-o :-o :-D :-D
Arigato:
Alan, Coral Pink sand is soft like no other.....
Sly, let me know who, when and where on the balance thing. Let's get them both done.
Other than the wiggle, that tire carves like a mad ginsu knife!

Try knobbies with ice screws on the ice if you want to feel 60 hp GLUED to the surface.......
When you guys run a paddle tire in the sand, does the rear end fishtale a lot when you are getting up to speed (like 40+ mph)?

Actually, we get pretty good hook-up once we get going. The tire will spin when starting from standing still.
