just whanted to ask you quadzilla owners, how good does the suspension soak up bumps, becouse the lt250r seems to ride on the rouph side ( cus of the short a arms) and since the quadzilla has longer arms i was thinking it propabably ride better. Oh and one more thing LETS SEE THOSE PICS OF YOUR QUADZILLA'S[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

dude the a-arms have nothing to do with it its the shocks quadzillas are not that great of bike my friends stock shee smoked a stock zilla they r not that reliable i have been doing more maintinence on mine than riding it im going to sell mine soon and get a 400ex. i wouldnt recomend a zilla they break down a lot

 

not a chance a stock shee could take a stock zilla unless the zilla was tuned all wrong/not running right

 

hey zillaeater.........what year and how much for yours........[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

The old QZ is not a good fit for everyone! Especially if your not very mechanically inclined, as they do need some work to be fast/bulletproof.
Guess that's why there are 4 strokes out there for everyone else.

Have any pics of your LT? How much? I'm always looking for another one.... Yes, they're that good!


Kruz: They do ride much better than the 2fiddy's... but depending on what your doing... the size/weight is not optimal (MX racing for one)
It's all about geometry, shock set-up (Spring rate, damping, etc, etc,) etc..

Regards,

 

The zilla's are great bikes. Very powerfull and fun to ride. But they are not for everyone, if you don't know how to turn a wrench I might stay away. Unfortantly mine is looking for a new home so if you know anyone that wants a restored one let me know.

 

Man, im getting sick of the whole "QZs are not reliable" bit. Just because your uncles cousins, best friends former roomate had a QZ that broke down, does not mean that they are all a POS.


QZs are as good as any old school quad at soaking up bumps, but you have to remember that the suspension design is nearly 20 years old. Look at the front end of a QZ compared to a YFZ450, and notice how how close the pivot point of the a-arms is on the YFZ compared to the Zilla, this GREATLY reduces bump-steer, among other things. My pics of my zilla are in my profile, not a lot to look at though.
