people might want to get used to four strokes being sold at stores though. 2 strokes are being fazed out by the big manufacturers.emmisions laws will tighten and tighten in the next 10-15 years.but ill take a 2 stroke anyday

 

okay hope they do spend more time and money towards 2 strokes like addict said. now 2 stroke or four stroke was name of this thread correct? id say 2 stroke now thats my opinion. now my reason is i have an 87 lt250 and runs fine. now if i do my top end its 140 bux if i dont have bored it for 60 additional bux. how much for topend on four stroke and dont forget u 4 strokers will go through top ends too. and on the emmissions crap..... i dont live in an emmisions controlled state any more but i do know that in lots of them if your car was built before the emmisions controls such as concerters and such u were granted a grandfather clause type situation to prevent u from updating your ehaust . so wheres our break on the grandfather clause type deal i know i can barely get into silver lakes sand dunes whats next???? pretty soon ill have to push my quad in through the check point to pass. owell my vote is 2 stroke .for many reasons btw what else can u ride and have to take leak on trail pull over and go and get back on ur quad and your still in the lead lmfao had to add that for u 4strokers that that said they were only for drag and mx

 

I'll take a 2-Stroke any day. Just cant get into the thumper thing. push button start, reverse, no thanks!!!

 

2 strokes can be very very reliable. My 86 250R is .020 over right now....and thats after 18 years! This quad has been raced for a very very long time...and the piston and sleeve are still to this day in very good shape. It was never "blown up," and I know the previous owner. He drove this quad like a
mad man....so do I.

 

well i recently added a Z400 to my list and its my first 4 stroke and i like it,

in fact if i had to get rid of the Z400 or the zilla it would be bye bye zilla (with a tear in my eye of course)

 

I think it's been too long since you ride your zilla, UK.

 

i must admit i was thinking the same thing as i was writing that,

my zilla will be a totaly diferent animal when its finished and couldnt realy be compared chasis wise let alone 2 vs 4 stroke i wouldnt get rid of her ever,

but from a practical point of view and stock for stock a z is a much better quad well manered and a pleasure to ride, push the button and go, on the otherhand the zilla offers bruit force and dirty underware and sometimes i need thast as well, so im happy having the best of both worlds,

also im not a very advanced rider and the zilla was the first quad i ever rode, the Z probably fits my abilities better if im honest about it and also my plans for hare scrambling/ enduro's.

just cant wait to get the zilla sliding round the oval later this year,

got my stem from lonestar today as well so im siked for getting it finished now[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I think 2 strokes are better because they quicker and most times faster

 

yeah but enjoyable riding doesnt alll have to be about quick and fast surely?

 

if that is what you want, yes. If you wanted quick, fast, yet ridable and fun you should have got a 250r, not a zilla
