Did anyone here go? I left after the first round and was wondering if anyone was there and stayed to see the wheelers go again. If so hwo won, and was anybody here in the comp. ?

 

Wanted to make it, but the weather sucked and I had to work anyway. The hill must have been very muddy. Oh well, maybe next year.

 

Matrix, your such an idiot.
I remember you.
You'd better start making some informing or at least INTERESTING posts, if you expect to make any friends around here.

moron.

Killer, I remember when you were dying for your R and traded
your X for one......... time to move on, eh

 

Funny that you'd say that, I was thinking of makign the switch to the zilla for awhile, thenn I looked at the pics of yours and love it! I think i want one, is there a certain year I should look for or any problems they had ? Thanks, KILLER

 

Hey Killer thanks for the compliments.. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

About the Zilla,
the 87's had a 6 stud head. They tended to blow head gaskets frequently.
Some people with 87's say that they have never had the problem.
I just assume that those people make sure those head nuts stay tight.
EDIT) The 88' + had an updated 7 stud head.

The other Zilla problem....
EVERY Zilla from the factory has something bad coming.
The metal that the main bearings sit in is too weak for the big motor.
Over time, (mine took 14 years..lol) the main bearings will wear away at that metal, and eventually it will be egg shaped around the bearings.
You will have noise, crank wobble and main seal failure. (Causing extreme LEAN conditions, and siezure)
You must make sure that any Zilla you buy has had the fix performed.
Any good shop that knows Zilla motors can perform the fix.
They machine out the main bearing area, and insert a brass piece that the main bearings sit in. These inserts cannot wear like the cases did.
It is a one time, permanent fix.

If a Zilla you get has not had the fix, you will need to. (eventually)
I had Tudors Performance rebuild my motor recently.
They did it all. Port, polish, head mod, new piston kit, re-bore/hone, new main bearings, and the fix, cleaned everything internal, cleaned and painted my cylinder for 980.00 out the door. NOT BAD!!

She runs like a bad out of hell man!!!

Anyway, Zillas are good reliable bikes. BUT, you have to take good care of them. Take care of it, and it will return the favor.

Thanks alot.

Now the search for a Zilla begins.

 

KILLER250R,
Keep an eye out at www.unclehenrys.com. Every now and again one will show up on there. I haven't looked in a while, but about 3 weeks ago there was one in NH for $2000.

Good luck.

 

I was looking through the classified guy...forget the name, its a big thick one for New England. Ayhow there is about 3 of them in there but there way up in northern Maine. If it wasn't such a logn drive I could have had one by now. I am gonna talk to some of my friends and some owners to see if it's really the right machine for me. I ride so trails so it might be too wide. I am not really into acing MX so thats no big deal, I was gonna try it but oh well. I really want a zilla but everyone talk to just says Suzuki sucks and Zillas suck and to keep my R. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

PS ME400EX Have you ever been to that big 4x4 even up near Emdon ?
I have gone the past two years and it kicked a$$! It's coming up in a couple weeks. Too bad I can't go this year [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]
