Only one circuit on the cdi is in specs according to the manual for resistance. Stator tested fine as well as pick up coil.

I hope motoman clips some wires and brings me his cdi to try but its gonna have to wait till my carbon fiber stator cover is done and water pump rebuild parts are here. Also gonna be looking into doing a carbon fiber hood. Once I have the first one done I may have a fab guy that's interested in producing pretty much anything carbon fiber you can want for the Zilla.

I got a buddy that's the same way that lives around the corner from me. I just haven't gotten over to his house so he could copy anything. Plus he's hurt right now after his "not-a-drag-bike" went end over end over end a few times. Not real sure how keen he is on doing ATV things. But dudes a freakin genius.

Forgot took the water pump impeller off the rubber washer had barely any rubber on it. Gonna do like Jerry said and grind down the impeller shaft a little but also gonna replace all the seals and washers.

Is a lt250 and lt500 cdi the same part like interchangeable?

Also here's pictures of the airbox I made and airbox eliminator bracket I made mounted.


Airbox










Airbox eliminator








I finally figured out the photobucket app!!

I have a 580 in it right now with a 25 pilot and that's my drag filter setup the airbox is for when I trai ride it will get a filter mounted in it with an outterwears lid that velcrows on. If you'd like either setup in aluminum or carbon fiber let me know my dads fab guy is doing my stator cover in carbon fiber and will likely be teaching me to do my hood in carbon fiber.

Like I said earlier the parts will be made for the 500. I don't have 250 parts to make molds from so if you have a two fiddy And have interest in any CF stuff once I get some stuff done I will need parts for molds And mock up cannot be guaranteed.

I'm not MHR Sam once my cover is done I'll post a video so you can really see it then if you want to send your cover ill have a mold made for it then send it back you can pay for it after its done and I send you a video showing you what it looks like finished. I'm also gonna replace my motor mounts with carbon fiber mounts.

not hatting on you, but do you think carbon fiber motor mounts are a good idea? im not a official engineer but i was doing structural and materials engineering before i decided to drop out of college. heres why i think its a bad idea.

carbon fiber will be stong only when load is applied parallel/same direction as the carbon weave. side to side, i feel as if the carbon will flex and eventually crack from viibrations. its not my bike im just trying to keep you from wrenching and get you riding. i know a guy on the bansheehq who can lazer cut any metal for u, if i were you, in a perfect world, id use titanium. in the real world id say the same thickness stainless would be the best material.

heres me speaking outloud here. in my experience with materials sometimes "strongness" dosnt directly relate to stiffness. sorta like bullet proof vest, instead of the bullet being stopped by a super dense hard metal we use a light weight, flexable material to slow the speed of the bullet.

i see carbon as just like a kevlar vest, it gains its strength from being flexible. you can bend a sheet a .25 carbon fiber plate more than double than a .25 steel plate without compromising the integrity. given carbon fiber is lighter, theoretical stronger its properties would not make an ideal candidate to isolate and supportthe motor under full load.

ive never worked with carbon before so dont take anything as i say as fact. but i still feel as if stainless is the best bet.
you already broke 2 aluminium brackets without riding it

There's a guy from the old site who was making and running the carbon fiber motor mounts already and the were just fine. The force is being applied to the edge of the carbon fiber, sorta like pressing against the edge of a sheet of paper, and not on the flat of the material, so the load/force is dispersed evenly and without risk of the mount breaking. also, the engine is held pretty firm inside the chassis and isn't twisting and swaying all over the place ya know? even though the suzuki's cheap steel frame DOES flex, it would be perfectly fine.

That would be friggin sick!

This is a V2 but the V1 mounts the same way, I believe.  Take your time mounting the pipe.  Make sure you have a rubber isolator at every mount point.  Be certain that the pipe does not touch the frame directly or indirectly through a mount.  It will crack if it sees un-dampened vibration from the engine.  This fact is well documented.  Also, shim your mounts so the pipe is not in a bind at all.  You just want it to "hang" on the frame.  You should not be applying pressure to get something to line up.

Correct.  It mounts at the subframe attach point.
