The zilla has some reliability issues. The 87 model was prone to blowing head gaskets, this is fixed by putting bigger studs in the head(this is why the 88-90 models have 7 cylinder studs) The are prone to blowing the base gasket under the reed cage, the gasket life can be increases by putting a stronger gasket and some instant gasket , The main bearings are prone to spin in the cases this is fixed by having the cases machined and inserts put in around the bearings. I think thats it, but once these are all solved they are reliable.
Don't forget if you compare a 500cc two stroke to a 1000cc 4stroke that 1000cc 4 stroke would have to be a single cylinder, but thats not possible it would probably be a 4 cylinder therefore making it more powerful tha 500cc 2 stroke single cylinder.

The Zilla is the fastest stock quad ever produced. It is tough to compare a 2-stroke to a four beacuse four strokes are made for more low end torque. 2 strokes are made for high end horsepower. If a 500cc 2 stroke was comparable to a 1000 four stroke nothing would be able to keep up with stock Banshees, and stock 250Rs, or any type of 2 stroke and we all know thats not true. If a 1000 four stroke sport quad was ever produced it would be without a doubt the fastest quad on the market. Think about it the new 700R, what if it was a 1000R. If that mechanics Zilla goes over 100 mph it must have some motor work done to it or higer gearing.

One of the Mechanics I work with has a Zilla and he has told me many times he has had it over 100mph when he lived back east. He is the McGyver type of guy. People don't realize that a 500cc 2 Stroke is comparable to a 1000cc 4 Stroke.
