I HAVE AN 88 ZILLA AND WANNA HOOK UP A TACH.CAN ANYONE REFER ME TO A GOOD TACH TO HOOK UP?AND WHAT DO YOU SHIFT A ZILLA AT ANYWAY? ALSO THEY DONT HAVE ANY TYPE OF REV LIMITER DOES IT?THANKS A BUNCH!!

 

actually most exhaust pipes (2 stroke) are designed to limit revs to a pre-determined level... all depending on what the designer/manufacturer had in mind.
What I mean is a motor will stop making power or 'fall off' the powerband when the rpm approaches the designed limit..

You'll feel the motor stop pulling at this point, thus indicating you should shift.

4 strokers are significantly different, so don't confuse the two.

A stock 500 motor really doesn't like to rev all that much... it should be pretty obvious once you get a little seat time.

 

go to the projects forum they have one on tachs there red line is a round 7.

 

7 grand for a 2 stroke my 4 stroke POLARIS does that i would think it would be higher

 

the zilla is has to much mass on the moving parts piston, crank, etc. that it will vibrate it self apart. basicilly the damn thing makes its 50 hp by shear torque not rpms. 7 is about all you can get out of them. pushing it past that and bye-bye bottom end.

 

this has nothing to do with anything but my my friends 89' 250r beat my 2001 warrior

 

u ever raced? if sumone has a louder pipe than u, u cant even hear your engine when its screamin, trust me.

 

yea stang its one thing when ur by urself and you can hear it but when your racing, your making all kinds of noise and you can barely hear your own thoughts

 

i had that problem of not being able to hear it one time...but then i learned how to shift by the vibrations and just listening really close...i have raced many times and havent had a problem yet, and yes there were quads louder than mine.

 

I know quads pretty well, but u can call me retarted for asking me this question but, wut is a cc? like so what if my quad has 350cc';s? is it a measure of how much horsepower or how fast it goes?
