Just wondering, I've noticed many people here have swapped in various streetbike engines into their quads- What kind of acceleration would be expected from , say a gixxer 750 or even a 1000? I have ridden both bikes rather frequently, but I just cant imagine gsxr1000 power in a quad. Assume that same 1000cc engine was in a machine that weighed approx. 150lbs more than the bike, with the extra ground contact from 4 tires what kinda performance could I expect? (I say 150lbs extra cause im thinking about a minirail here) any ideas?

 

unbelievable performance. i have 2 of them and they are crazy fast. i am still dialing them in and they are insane.

 

It depends alot on what type of frame you are droping it in.

guy has made a living off of it and they sure seem like runners to me. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

150 extra pounds is like a extra rider on a bike and there still fast.

 

If you're thinking of mini rails try Short Sand cars. I rode in one with a turbo'ed busa motor in it and it was insanly fast. My 900 quadzilla couldn't hold a candle to it and that full cage and 5-point harness's sure make you feel safer.

 

What simple engine mods could i do on a zx6 quad?

it seems that youre the only one who knows whats up with this topic.

I've got an old 1987 Honda 250X with a Yamaha Radian 600cc. These were rated at about 65hp. Mine may make about 70 since having Pods and a header with stubby muffler. This quad is light and it does run well. As fast as most of the popular 60-70hp Banshees.

This engine is an Air/Oil cooled setup w/6 speed and fits quite nicely in the frame with very little modifications.

Now it just needs real suspension and I can ride it anywhere.

 

my boss has a 86 suzuki lt250 with a 750 ninja motor in it
scared the hell out of me. has 26" paddles on it
went to the dune last weekend never got it out of 3rd gear
and cruising around 60mph
have a picture of it in my pics

 

Well I put a little bike motar in a 3 wheeler. A CB200. The motor is rated at 21hp at 9000RPM. I put it in a 200X with a +6 swingarm. It wasnt anywhere near as impressive as I thought it would be. The gears are way to far apart and all the horsepower is on the top. My old man and I put a CB750 in a snowmobile. Its pretty fast and has a ton of power. So much power that you can blow through all the gears before moving.
