I would like to know does a zilla have the power to wheelie through the gears???
The reason I ask is I baught a zilla but it has next to no compression and when I had it running I could only get it to stand up in 1st.
It is being rebuilt right know but i am dieing to know, will it be able to do it after it is rebuilt?
Thanks for any help!!!

A stock swingarmed zilla will be lucky too get the tires off the pavement in third. It's not a power issue.....it's traction!

I've made it to 5th gear and just couldn't keep it up anymore (no comments please). I've never been an expert when it comes to wheelies but the Zilla by far was the easiet to keep up while accelerating.

Yeah, a Banshee had no trouble bringing it up in 4th, and you can get it up about a foot in 5th on flat going. 6th gear wheelies can be done if you have a bit of a hill.

With that said, I would guess the Zilla should have no problem in all gears.
