Hey people.... I have a couple of questions about the quad I just bought

1) What kind of jetting should I be using with the lid off and an aftermarket silencer (at sea level)?
2) I'm looking at an FMF pipe right now , does anyone have any thoughts on these pipe?
3) What kind of HP increase am I going to get with this pipe ?
4) I also have to do the water pump and crank seals . Any service hints while I have it apart?.

 

While the engine is apart, put steel inserts in the crankcase for the crank bearings. I don't know exact numbers, but i would assume a 5-6hp increase with a pipe/filter.

 

FMF pipes suck for the Zilla. Best all around pipe for a ported Zilla is and LRD (not made anymore)or a Trinity in-frame. Next best is the Paul Turner. Gotmuddy's stuff needs cleanup (plating) but is a really good setup for cheap.

whats wrong w/the fmf pipe? What are the others tuned for? I ride in the woods, have a fmf pipe &
turbine core sparky. I havent found a reason to concider another pipe. I heard it aint real good to top
it out down gravel roads for a sustained amount of time, with any 2-stroke, especially a Zilla, so I dont.
Would I benefit by switching pipes?


Hey Stang

What about nickel plate. Not shiny.

 

Where does the FMF increase power? I was looking for more top end pull.
Do you need to rejet with these mods?
What is quicker stock an 87 LT 500R or a Banshee. My piped banshee feels a bit stronger than my LT 500

 

MPG, with a two-stroke you ALWAY's need to rejet.
