I just pick my 88 up last November for 1800$ and it ran but didn't run the best so today I got the motor tore apart and now I'm waiting on the delivery guy to bring me my parts...going 1.50mm over to make it a 517 since its already 1mm over and then a new pipe and plastics
My favorite 2 stroke!!! Unfortunately I haven't mastered this beast!!! I have took mine to 2 different well know shops for rebuilds and both rebuilds lasted about 8 to 10 rides at the oregon sand dunes!!! Im lost and don't know who to take it to to make it realiable in oregon???!!! Dr q is the man but he doesn't live in oregon!
Send your cylinders to Jerry hall at hall precision racing in Arizona like I told you hell get you 80-90hp and let him do a few things to your motor and get mike to build and do the wrenching for you and get a hand cone pipe from jerry hall if money is no limit or I’ll hook you up with a hand cone pipe for the Lt500r if you want that I garuntee you will jump on the deal for the price.also think you should do a similar build as to mikes banshee and do a old school quad wars with two equally similar hp.like I said go to Jerry hall at her in Arizona guy knows his zilla literally the best builder in the world when it comes to Zilla.Jerry halls stock stroke builds are better runners and have more hp and tq than dr.q’s hrd stroker motors and they both know zilla’s only a handful of people know how to make power from zilla and those are two from the handful of them,I’m just a jerry hall guy his knowledge is amazing just google jerry hall, hpr and Lt500r and you’ll soon understand why I like jerry hall’s builds
Wow 2,500 that was a great deal. Good luck with it. I’d like to find a deal like that. I’m in the tristate area and when you see a deal you have to jump on it if not it’s gone! Great videos keep them coming
Cool find it might be in good condition and you might make it great but how many people can say they drove there's off the show room floor like I did back when I bought mine in 1987 but can't wait to see it running
@@StupidFastJohn lol come on you didn't make me feel any younger but it was a good time for quads I've owned a bunch still own a warrior and don't laugh a 2018 suzuki king quad 750 but hope you build the quadzilla like everything you want it to be remember WFO
Cool find. I'm all for old school stuff. I honestly think Suzuki shit the bed with design with these. They rip but are ugly as all hell. Hope the build goes well John
I wonder why there are not more Quadzilla vs Banshee shootouts???!!! I see more modified 250r's vs banshee's but never a modded Quadzilla vs a modded Banshee 😐😐😞😞🙄🙄🤔🤔🤔🤔
Just at heads up, those are notorious for engine seizing and/or blowing up. Needs a good builder. Dream quad though. Thumps up and subscribing for the build.
@@StupidFastJohn welding the flywheel and getting the squish corrected on the head are 2 good starting points.O ringing the head and getting a real pipe on it are good mods too.
@@StupidFastJohn you can get the crank stroked by crank works down in Arizona for about a grand, just need to figure out what rod you want to run with it. Really nice guys to work with. Mike Steiner would be the guy to get in touch with at full tilt muscle machines if you want to get crazy with it
@@StupidFastJohn yes but I prefer to do all my own engine work besides what I need a machine shop for.that way anything goes wrong I can only blame myself but thats me.

Man what a steal
Your lucky. JOHN you better make this awesome! I remember riding a naked lt500 70mph on dirt roads scary af. Love it!!!!!👍
Can’t wait to see this build unfold
Finally I’ve been waiting to see this video I love big bore 2 strokes tomorrow I’ll post a video of me romping on the fl400r
This is one of my dream quads.
Good for you and saving the good stuff from the scrap yards.
I got the lil bro of this bike, the LT250r, and man I can’t wait to see this beast running!
You are a very lucky man. Treasure it. If it we're me. I would do a full restoration, then NEVER EVER get rid of it. I would keep it forever.

Please give away this one lol. this is a bucket list quad
I scored a zilla back in 93 for $1500 I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Nothing better than smoking a mustang gt on your quad..lol
Man I hope you film the whole transformation 😜👍🏽
The first build on this is already on mikes channel 👊
Awesome 👌👌
Love your content brother!
Awesome find, what I wouldn't give to find 1 in descent shape.
I saw this one on market place, I’m so jealous
That gaucker39 guy has some good ideas
🤔😉
Dude hell yeah! Do an LTR450 build series with a 500cc bb kit and line em up
Ohhhh great idea!!!
Nasty zilla!!
87s have lots of problems but good luck
i got a ltr500 be safe man the engine has a demon in it
You get that built right old sabo won’t be able too keep up at all lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👊
Crap I paid 2k for mine with a freshly built motor and whole quad had already been gone threw almost like new I could not pass the deal up.
I wish I could find one of these for a decent price.
Zilla vs super cub please!!!
Are you in PA? I live in NEPA. You look like you live close. It would be cool to ride sometime. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Love it great find
My dad had one back in 2000. Couldn't get the damn thing to run properly. He put more money into it then he will admit haha.
LOL
Was this near the saint marys area? Cameron county is just over the hill from us.
Im not sure to be honest 😅👊
@@StupidFastJohn dude we have 3500 acres of play space.. just sayin
Definitely a great find. Looking forward to the build. FB me I got some ideas to make it fast safe ride
That's a great buy!

Thank you for the info! Much appreciated 👊
USE WAZE!! Way better then maps. You will love it!! Thanks for the content
I am doing an awesome build on a quadzilla. Full makeover. I'm going to start a RUclips channel for it
Pole shifts. It meanders around every day. I've had google be over a mile off...
I finally bought new tires for my 250r man expansive
I have a stage 3 quad zilla built by Rob brown super super fast!!
Hey man if that's an 87 I'm going to have a few extra parts after I'm done with my build let me know if you need anything
Ser? Ill message you on instagram i really appreciate that bro!!!
Not to jump fence but can I’m looking for a zilla motor bro idc if it’s seized or just empty cases and jug
nice
Awesome!
FINALLY!
btw if the crank is stuck rebuild it the counter weights all are timed in there to each other and after market cranks dont have the marks on them.
Hell Yes..
pearlllll :)
My buddy's dad had one he says they'll RIP you apart
Good score bro
If you or Mike need some Zilla tips, let me know, I own one in Maryland and have been building and playing with it for about 8 years
Oh wow! Do you have an instagram?

Thanks you Justin 🙌
No problem anytime
Definitely a keeper
FINALLY!!!
What did you ever do with this zilla?
It got a full rebuild from michael sabo and then after the little sahara event it just sits in the back of my shop collecting dust 🤙
@StupidFastJohn ever want to make it fast I'm your guy.
Am i sensing a 2stroke shootout? 250r vs banshee vs quadzilla
That would be a great line up.
Dude I wish I could win his predator oh my goodness
finding parts for that might be a bitch
What's up Jonny?
Nm Doug whats crackalackin? 👊
Doing a stroker motor on it or what
So they still make them?!?

Yes they do and I second crank works for the build Amd I am sure you can find a jug big enough if you want to build a big motor
You can rebuild a motor in a weekend its not that big of a project
Yea but have you seen the last video walking around my shop? LOL i have 15 atvs n bikes here 👊
