My zilla is a runner under a motor upgrade from Jerry.

Then I got another one that needs a lot of help; motor, plastic, repainting the whole nine yards....

So one of each  +k2

You got 2 Zilla's now?  (Y)

I want a 250. I had a 88 but the 500 is the big poppa. Its the dark horse............its the bike that everyone looks and says......oh dang, its a 500. I think its kinda special if you have one that runs worth a sh*t.

For the guys who have not ridden a strong 500 2 stroke single yet - just wait. I have been riding quads and bikes for 20 some years and the Zilla is by far my favorite quad EVER.

Project--ran strong for 25 years.  Now the beautiful powdercoated frame and parts sit in the spare room.  I ran out of free time to put it together.  But I can hear the parts calling out to me at night....put me together and ride me...put me together and ride me..   But it will be far far better than new when I am done.

Project that's almost done! Waiting on my top end then I'm jetting and first firing the beast then heat cycles and tuning then putting it on the strip and hitting some trails!!

PROJECT! Rode it when I first got it with no brakes and a smoked rear shock. It ran like a turd, so I stripped it. then moved onto other projects. She will be my focus this winter.

Do you currently have a running Zilla or a project?

I got a chance to ride mine for the first time this year. I forgot how wicked these things are (properly set-up of course). Its a major deal trying to keep these old beast running and operating. I wanted to see how many on the forum actually have a running Zilla!!

I also have another topic I want to post about the perfect play motor set-up. I believe I have the right mix...........
