Big Oil Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I have a CR250 and I run an 8 paddle. Now I have a CRF450 and don't know if I should run a 8 or 10 paddle.What do you guy's think. """Dang I can't wait to ride those dunes.""" Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I ran an 8 cup King turbo paddle on my crf. Just enough traction and give. A 10 cup was to much tire IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoxman30 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 i got a 450 too yeah the 10 is too much i got the 8 of course it came with the bike so i cant complain there is one tire that was born to be put on the 450 its pretty expensive but worth it its the 9 paddle from skat trac my buddys got it on his bike....every paddle that touches will grab good for roostin too and grippin on the side of the dune but if u just wanna spend a simple $40 to just have a good time then the 8 is ur best bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 depends on riding style.. if you want a little more spin and easier to slide into corners go with the 8 cup.. If you want it to dig and go and not have any spin and all hook then go with the 10.. The 450 will pull a 10 but for some it just doesnt fit their riding style... i prefer 8's on the 450's and a 10/12 on my 500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Edgy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I run a ten on my 450. Hooks up great. I used to run an eight and I feel the ten hooks up way better. IMO! :moon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britincali Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 14 is the only way to roll! :moon: On a serious note I would get a $60 AMS sandsnake 10 blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO! :moon: the 10 hooks up awesome.. but some peoples riding style prefer to have an 8 to have that extra spin in there for sliding around and what not which is the way i like to ride.. a little on the loose side.. thats what was great about the kings turbo paddle.. You could get teh a$$ end real loose and layed over and those ribs kept it from sliding out.. where as the sand snake or chitsings would just keep on sliding and wouldnt stay hooked when you were really bookin it in a corner.. just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoxman30 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 14 is the only way to roll! :moon: On a serious note I would get a $60 AMS sandsnake 10 blade my bad...i said i had an 8 when i really had a 10...missed a couple paddles when i was counting :fro_smokin: yea i got the sand snake 10 paddle for ridin its aight...its harder to slide it but it will hook up very easily on the hill...not so good my bros got the same bike everything the same on it just a year older hes got the 8...just started riding and he smokes me up comp every time rode his bike and the 8 really makes a difference i can slide that bad boy so easily and the power gain is better but if i was to choose any id go with the 14 :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 you gotta remember britincali is riding a cr500 that is bottle fed.. anything less than 14 he just digs a giant a$$ hole at the base of banshee lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again i only weigh 130 pounds so im not sure how it will react with more weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britincali Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 looks like a good boat anchor... It actually works really good, it will spin the sh*t out of a 10 all day a 12 is nice but this one works bitchin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britincali Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 The guys running the 20s have 200+ hp streetbike motors, biggest Ive seen on a CR500 is a 16 blade dominator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
