Well your 500 isnt running right, sounds like a PV problem, Zukzilla will pop up on here soon and tell ya what to do, your 500 will embarass that rap, and that banshee, actually most of the lt25o's will beat the banshee... my .02

that isnt right, definately soemthing wrong, he should be fighting to keep the front end down, even shifting into 4th (or so i've heard) try IM'ing zukzilla, he knows his zillas and so does duneaddict.

im sure once i get some new tires the front end will wanna jump up, but for now, i cant get traction on dirt worth $hit, once i get the clutch fixed, i might take it on to the pavement see how she does with these tires

Definately should be quicker than the raptor and banshee. I had an 02 banshee that was comparably stock to my zilla (no pipes, but had boyeseen reeds and an aftermarket filter) The banshee had brand new rubber (maxxiz razr's) and my zilla has the stock rubber (about 40% worn.)

My buddy and I tried racing them for a whole afternoon. Pavement, dirt road, up a gravel hill, the banshee would stay with me on the zilla till about half throttle in 4th then its bye bye banshee. On a 1/4 mile we're talking 4-5 quad lengths. On the 1/2 mile were better to measure it in yards than quadlengths..its not even close.

I did get beat by a YFZ450 once but I think with better rubber I could take him. This is the only drag race I ever lost.

If you can't beat that raptor, your bikes not running right. start looking into the problem. dollar for dollar the quadzilla is the best value out there if you get it running well.

Needr, I ran against a 89 LT250r about a year ago & it wasn't even close. Now grant it we're talking about a bike that is over 14 yrs old & I don't know if his bike was running in top shape or not. It's exterior was excellent. Just wish Suzuki would reload the the Zilla & it would have the atv world all to itself!!!
