three words for ya NOT BIG ENOUGH !!!! lol . but that is the truth . if any perforance mods are done to it the the stocker wont flow enough for the motor .

 

if i was to put a fatty pipe, would the stocker be adequate, keeping in mind that i only trail ride, and hardly ever see 5th gear

 

yea just a pipe like the fmf wont hurt it . just watch the plug and you should be fine .

 

DonZilla,Have you tried the ridium plug yet by NGK??They are great,I use them in my Zilla.

 

not yet . was thinking about it but havent . what plug # are you running ? (ridium)

 

the 87 carb's had circuitry issues. all years of 500's didnt have big enough carbs. just the 87's had problems tho. all i know is mine is way more responsive. (i put a 41mm mikuni pro series on mine)

thanks for the help guys, i'll let you know how it works with the new reeds.

i brought the zilla out to a local trailhead a couple of days ago when i was trying to get it running properly. The looks i got when i unloaded it were priceless. alot of "what the hell is that" expressions from 4 wheel drive guys, and drooling from dirt bike guys. Noone else seems to have a quadzilla in this area (which makes it hard to get info and advice for a newbie like me).

Good thing for this forum. Can't wait to get it running properly and blow away some newer quads!!!

 

700 Hemi, how far in Ontario are you from the Bridge to the US?,Blue water Bridge that is.

 

zukzilla,

i'm about 4hr drive north of toronto, which i guess puts me about 7 or 8 hours from windsor / detroit border.

Yep, way up in northern ontario as they call it. This whole area used to be used for logging and mining many decades ago, so now all the old roads are recreational trails. They are not actually official ATV trails yet, but noone has ever bothered atvers on crown land up here. we are lucky that we can pretty much ride wherever we want.

 

Are you near Forestville,or the Dragstrip area??What's the town's name that the Motorplat is in?I can't remember the name of the town it's in.
