I will agree with that.Stock LT500 is faster.They had some major problems reliability wise also though.

 

they really ddint have much relaiabilty probalems except no account riders was getting on them and getting hurt and suzuki was getting in trouble but see you still haveme on a mx course ur canninball will eat em alive on the mx course theonly thing i can get you at is dunes and dragging

 

My buddies kept breaking the corner off the cylinder where it bolts to case and mainbearings get sloppy in the case.Other than that it is a awesome motor.He put it in a Honda 250r frame about 8 years ago and still to this day can beat the fastest quads.As a matter of fact he won OpenProAm and open A at Ashtabula TT two weeks ago!I have been thinking of trying that motor in a Cannondale.What do you think of that ?

 

it would be awsome yeah it sounds like your friend got a lemon zilla and then again i dont ride as hard as a lot of guys but mine is doin good i am 17 and i have been riding since i was 5 on three wheelers and that zilla still today scares the **** out of me on a hill or bank or a rutt
