Can a Suzuki RM 125 Be Ridden in the Sand?

The Suzuki RM125 is a single cylinder two-stroke machine that works well in a variety of conditions. With the proper accessories and equipment, it can be adapted to ride in the sand or on almost any other type of terrain.

  1. The Tires

    • Change your tires to paddle tires or sand tires. These are available at most motorcycle shops or online retailers. These tires enable you to push and stay on top of the sand, giving you traction where normal tires would not work.

    The Air Filter

    • Use a heavily oiled air filter with a sock protector around the outside. This provides extra protection where fine sand particles could bypass your air filter, and enter your engine causing significant damage. Clean and oil your filter frequently when riding in the sand.

    The Fuel Filter

    • Use an in-line fuel filter or, if you already have one, change it frequently. This will keep fine debris from the sand from entering the engine through the fuel system.
