Hi guys, I have only ridden in dirt motocross tracks because there are no sand tracks around, however I would really like to ride in the sand. Althought I know I will have to re-learn the basics, I am more concerned about how agressive it is on the bike. How hard it is on the engine, suspension, etc? Would a 250 2 stroke have a big advantage (maintenance wise) over a 450? I go like 80 hours on a 450 piston, if I ride sand a couple times a year how long can I go without blowing it up? Thanks
Filtro de aire limpio en cada salida
Aceite de motor bueno y fresco
Suspensión sufre menos que la tierra, revisa mas seguido los rodamientos nomas
y si no sos 100% arenero no tendrías que notar una menor vida útil en el motor

Depends more on riding style than condition actually. A wet hard packed track wear 2x more on chain and sprockets then a dry sand track.
Tires last longer, much much longer.
Bearing lifetime is decided by water and moisture, not dirt. On sand you can run higher air pressure so actually less risk for wear on rims
I run o-ring chains and stopped lubricating them years ago. I just spray WD-40 on it after washing to keep it from rusting.
