- racing at Patton hill between ogilby and Gordons well sand dunes thanksgiving 2021.
Bill tells us about his super clean Quadzilla 500 two stoke, and we actually got the video of the race! Kind of.
next time he will Bring his fast one! (in the background of video below:
• The Fastest Honda TRX4...
Thanks for taking the time to talk with my Dad! He’s a legend out there and eats, sleeps, and breathes the dunes. I’m the son with the LT250 he mentions at the end that doesn’t ride anymore.
He's an awesome guy. Love capturing people's stories.
That's a cool dude. I'd ride with him.
Good looking Zilla but no way it sniffs 75 hp. I love your hybrid.
Your 450 has had some things done for sure! Acted very light and efficient geometry. Besides gated hard.
The 500 has a Dg pipe and a stock swingarm. I don’t care what’s been done to the motor it’s maybe 60hp on a cool day with that pipe. I ran one for years great play pipe. Also ran all the others.
As far as his statement about DRQ copying Jerry Hall doubtful. Both are good guys to the 500 world. However I had many long conversations with the good Doctor let’s say 20 years ago. He was spot on about many ,many things. As far as the 87 big reed statement from the gentleman in the video , it used to put out a few more ponies than a 88 or newer until v force opened the door. Hee hee. Btw I had a Trx 250r with a Polaris cylinder, 5mm crank and a yz490 piston that would take down a basic 4mm cub. It ran neck n neck with my 500 but the 500 fit me better.
The fast one is always at home...
There is no way that LT500r is making 75hp without a big volume left hanging pipes
Cool interview. The Reverse shock you asked about is on the first 2 generations of the LT250, 3rd gen did away with that. That’s a decent running Zilla but 75hp is pretty optimistic. Hoping to be out there in March again.
Got it! Thanks for the clarification.
I also doubt that zilla is 75hp. Maybe 60hp
That's good ol uncle Bill!! Great interview
He's rad
That’s funny he seemed like a great guy with some knowledge, but ur bike is pretty damn fast man. Keep up the good work I would love to see that 250r build!
Thanks, he's a cool guy. Fun to meet people.
typical Quadzilla owner right there 😂
So true. And so much fun!
Seem to have the best parts in the world 😂
💯
Didn’t seem like 75hp
Not making 75 hp with a fmf pipe.
I have not lost a race on my Zilla yet. So far Banshee with pipes, stock Trx450er, and modded yfz450. This was on a dry lake bed. Mine has been ported by Trinity, O ring head and 39mm PWK.
Mine and my buddy’s bike was built by Racers Edge. Mine was an 05 TRX 450. And his was a banshee bored out to a 4mill. My bike dyno’d at 61 and his at 90. I don’t know if it’s a 2 stroke thing. But up the hill or down the drag. Our bikes were dead even
That’s a 55hp max build, has a right hand bend stock style pipe, also those paddles suck for hills
Sounds like you may be right, only know what the man told me!
Great race but I can promise that zilla is not making 75hp on no dyno with a fmf, that thing is stock if it's got a fmf killer content anyways
Agreed. Thanks though.
You are exactly right to make 75hp he needs a real pipe and that national porting
National porting is old skool .he needs DR Q HRD, Jerry HALL,Todd witz or Michael Steiner porting
The Suzuki is running ITP sand star back tires which are some of the worst, your better off with dirt tires. He should get 8 cup haulers and it will be much better for the dunes
I had an LT500 for year and ut put 52bhp to the wheels, nowhere near 75bhp. Also, I owned a Honda CR500 with lots of work done and that only put 57.8bhp to the back wheel.
He had dune sliders on his bike. Were you running 10 paddle haulers?
Those sliders are so much more fun but they hurt you in the hills
What part of arizona
Should get you out for the brother's in 250r's meetup during Presidents weekend
You guys make me wanna go duning!
No Suzuki 500 CC motor out there makes 75 horsepower. That bike is maybe 53 horsepower
Dude, when you lose you lose. It doesn't matter where the "fast one" is, he didn't race it. He raced what he's sitting on and lost, then failed to BS the Honda rider as to why he lost.
Chill bro lol
Yeah I think the zilla guy is a bit of a ass biscuit
75hp and running Sandstars?
Likes to slide I guess!
That’s the worst running quadzilla of all time!
Would be cool to see you run An ocp
Built stock bore and
Stroke
Just to
See
Would be. Jeff builds fast stuff. This builds quicker than the racers edge AZ stock bore stock stroke.
Jeff’s usually make 60-63hp on the dyno, and run well. Setup is everything too, tire and gearing can make up for a lot of hp! Lol
Not shocked by the the convo
A lot of people think I’m Travis Pastrana 😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao that’s a stock zilla, my piped zilla ate up a built trx450r and one with a 500 kit no problem.
You going to post the race against the ktm at Patton?
Yeah few different races with the KTM, will be up December 3rd, and more on the 10th.
I wanna see his 90hp one run
Lmao this dude was mad. That 450 making what 60hp since they make 50 stock. that 500 maybe at 45 or 50 ... from what i see those suzuki 500 is nowhere near a cr/kx500 motor .. must have made a huge design flaw in the engines i heard they only make 40hp
That guy is full of bs by the way
Hi bro
Hey man
Jerry won't answer his phone I tried to buy a pipe from him but like I said never answers his phone I bought one of the new CT performance fat bastard pipes for my Zilla and I really like the pipe
75 😵 that's not stock 🤩🤣🤣
quad zilla is carborated the trx450 is fuel injected 4 strokes do better going up hill
Bs lol
The as is stupid. He we I'll put a screen door on a submarine
