PCS I wasn't honestly suggesting a hybrid it was a joke. Then in comes Mtsnieg starting an argument over a suggestion that was intended to be a joke. Why is the majority of people on this forum so sensitive and lacking a sense of humor?

i know but im just saying people dont need to start arguing/suggesting hybrids over a question that didnt ask that in the first place. just keeping the peace here.    C:-)
Title: Re: cheapest bearing set for the quadzilla
Post by: Warmeck on January 07, 2014, 07:57:35 pm
well it is about the bearings but i had a few other questions that i thought id ask!
Title: Re: cheapest bearing set for the quadzilla
Post by: PCS on January 07, 2014, 07:52:57 pm
i thought this tread was about bearings, not pv or building hybrids?????
want to talk about hybrid just make a new thread or not  2c
 no need to say get rid of a lt chassis for a modern one, if i thought along those line i would just say get rid of the whole quad, motors have just as many quirks too. sometimes its just easier to work with what you got
Mtsnieg: nice 250r

pv works best a 1 turn ccw, some guys say maybe 1 1/8 turn work good to, there was a dyno posting of different
positions, and it worked best at stock setting 1 turn ccw.

can i service the valve myself? is i t hard to do?
Title: Re: cheapest bearing set for the quadzilla
Post by: Buckeye513 on January 07, 2014, 06:04:58 pm
I'm pretty sure adjusting it just changes the power curve but doesn't actually add any additional power.
Title: Re: cheapest bearing set for the quadzilla
Post by: Warmeck on January 07, 2014, 05:40:46 pm
i think you anwserd my question yeah i was talking about the power valve sorry for bad wording i was wondering if it cud be  tuned to produce more power
Title: Re: cheapest bearing set for the quadzilla
Post by: Warmeck on January 07, 2014, 05:30:12 pm

"Screw replacing all them chassis bearings find you a newer 400 or 450 rolling chassis to put the motor in!"

You said it. Don't know how its done, or how to do it. So why tell someone to do it. If someone told me to put my 500 Zilla engine in something else I would tell em to get fukd. Some bad bearings, duh, just git rid o it and wedge it somtin else.

I guess you missed where I said this so ill repost it for your lack of reading comprehension skills.

"I have no clue I've never built a hybrid lol I was being half serious. Although I really do wish I had just built a hybrid from the start."

Notice the lol and the 5 words after it?

Warmeck, what are you referring to about getting power out of the valves? There's only two valves in a 500 reed valve and power valve. Reeds your best bet is v3 or preferibly v2's. Power valve is adjusted based on tension to where you want it to close in the rpm range, this will depend on your porting and pipe selection. When you get this bike or before read through my build thread there's a lot of stuff about replacing chassis bearings that I learned the hard way and might answer some of your questions before you have to ask them.

Post by: Warmeck on January 07, 2014, 12:32:13 pm
thanks for input guys ill just get the bearing set  then im going to have a lot of work cut out for me between cleaning and polishing parts to having my motor shipped out to my builder. i was thinking about a trail mx port and maybe some valve service? also is there a way that i can make more power out of the valve? with machining i guess i could ask my machinist but im not going to call him until im ready to ship engine.

So having no clue makes it okayto give advise on a subjuct you
have no clue about? Sensless dribble.

I like this guy  (Y) Dez that bearing chart was for engine bearings.

I have no clue what goes into building a hybrid regarding welding and fabrication. It was a suggestion not a demand ... Your comment = senseless dribble.
Title: Re: cheapest bearing set for the quadzilla
Post by: Dezsled on January 07, 2014, 09:14:45 am
Wasnt there a list somewhere that had all the brg #s so you could go to your local brg distributor and source them there? I have a kaman outlet near me that was reasonably cheap that makes it worth going

Jealousy becomes you Badmoon. My dad is like a loan shark he loaned me the money to get my build done quicker then I could've done myself. He's been paid back in full minus my wedding gift money.

I have no clue I've never built a hybrid lol I was being half serious. Although I really do wish I had just built a hybrid from the start.

Don't listen to bucky, his dumb ass don't know **** from french fries. He just has a daddy with a big pocket book. For the $700 and $150 on good bearings you'll have a good start.
Title: Re: cheapest bearing set for the quadzilla
Post by: Warmeck on January 06, 2014, 11:32:09 pm
would i need to fabricate or weld anything if i got a 450 or 400 rolling chasis?
Title: Re: cheapest bearing set for the quadzilla
Post by: Buckeye513 on January 06, 2014, 10:41:20 pm
Screw replacing all them chassis bearings find you a newer 400 or 450 rolling chassis to put the motor in! Wish I didn't waist so much money on the Zilla chassis and just did a hybrid from the get go with my motor.
Title: Re: cheapest bearing set for the quadzilla
Post by: GrkGuy on January 06, 2014, 10:31:10 pm
bearings and bushings cost as much as a good port job, lol

i always tell guys to find a bike that someone else has changed all that stuff cause it starts to add up real fast. and dont forget sometimes they are a royal pain in the @ss to get out.


700 bucks sounds like a good deal,
Title: Re: cheapest bearing set for the quadzilla
Post by: Warmeck on January 06, 2014, 09:42:24 pm
ill have pictures for everyone soon its a really good deal that i cant pass up. oh i forgot it will also be needing a top end rebuild? im goign to ask for the piston and rings to see what the dmg was and make sure there isnt anything pieces missing in the piston.
Title: Re: cheapest bearing set for the quadzilla
Post by: Dangerouspower on January 06, 2014, 09:23:57 pm
WOW thats cheap!!!! I paid like $150 for full pivot works a arm kit. Thats lifetime warranty too though.
