I really like watching your channel Joe, you've revived so many sweet machines! I do the same kind of work but you definitely have more experience than me. I'm really impressed that you're doing this essentially on your own, in super cold weather. It makes sense that a lot of the machines still run on the lean side, even after you upsize the jets. The 3-hit combo between oversize bores, free flowing intakes & exhausts, and ridiculously cold air will need significantly more fuel, oftentimes even more than you'd expect. You know all this already, but I was surprised to find out that sometimes going up 5 or even 10 on the main jet still isn't adequate for a proper fuel mixture at full throttle.
This turned out pretty badass! Jetting sounds pretty close to me, plug looks chocolate brown which is good. Keep running at least a 32:1 premix, if not the 28:1 ratio you ran in it in this video. Sparkplugs are cheaper than pistons!
28:1?? Lol not with a liquid cooled engine.. The clearences are a lot tighter and your better off running a low ask oil 36 or 40:1.. premium boils nowadays are a lot better
Dude, that was a sweet video! What a kick ass quad! That is so inspirational and only gives me that much more determination to save up and buy a quad!!! Keep up the good work Joe!!! That was f&$%@#g awesome!!!
Idk why everyone is under the impression of running richer after a rebuild...never understood that...u run w.e ur going to continue to run...as long as you run the break in the correct way with the heat cycles going richer is just blast for me...idk...ive raced 2 strokes in the 4 wheeler class and the one was a zilla...and after receiving the zilla we did a top end...ran 40:1 from the moment it was new til the day I sold it after being done with racing...with many hours on it...and it ran flawless...even for the new owner for years......side note tho ..thing sounds great n good job man!!
I wish I lived closer because I would be your test pilot on opening up anything you have with a engine. Sweet quad though, it's a beast. Keep up the good work, your a very knowledgeable guy.
I think it's running a little lean on the pilot, unless it's running a bit rich on the main. You should try a 180 main or 5 down from what was in it and then a 60 for the pilot or 5 up and see if it's any better.
the more oil you add to premix the leaner the Air fuel ratio will be because the is there is less gasoline molecules and more oil molecules I read this in Dirtbike or motocross action many years ago. so 32 to 1 oil mix will have a leaner air fuel mixture than 50 to 1. I didnt get it at first but it makes sense.
The only road trip he goes on, is to his parents house, to ride around in circles, or straight line on a bitumen road. Not one of his video's ever shows him riding anywhere else.
If its been bored over that much you cant rely on the stock jetitng numbers you gotta find it yourself by riding it and plugs. I doubt it'll blow up again though since you noticed the piston edge coming above the cylinder. Id never sell it once it mint itll only keep increasing in value if you hold it & then you can enjoy that beast for years.
Great t see your persistence pay off. Good find on the piston protrusion. Those front knobby tires are going to need a dirt road or switch to street tires for those speeds. I think the plug is a little lean for my taste. I would stay with 32:1 mix and try those jets awhile.
Damn son, if ya gonna send it that fast on the pavement, you should consider wearing road race leathers. Asphalt sucks when it's being scrapped out of your skin. Frikin awesome ride though.
I can’t figure y most people cut front fenders I know racing saves weight but with eyeful of mud ,water ,sand. Ur losing time even googles never could figure that out few pounds or face full of mud. I’ll take pounds any day. Sweet ride brother. U finally got her going good. Them quadzillas was hard to start almost new. Good job 👍🏻
Still a little lean on the main in my humble opinion but good job bro! 💯🤘🏻there's no smoke even at wot so I'm thinking you're still lean.. no hate it would just suck if it pops again! Haha I run a 48 pilot and a 170 main with the needle in the third clip position on my yz250.
I use to be a professional desert and grand pre racer. I raced the 250 in GP’s and 500 in desert/Baja’s. We got the 500 dirt bikes over 100 easily and I remember trying to pass the Pro quad riders on the Quadzilla’s of course our bikes and there quads were heavily modified but I know I would be going over 100 and the quads were not easy to pass they were going 100 +. So with the right gearing you can get it even faster. Lol I don’t think it needs it. It sounds pretty good as far as jetting but I know everyone has there own way but I’ve ran 40:1 for 35 years now on everything I have that’s 2 stroke. Lol even my weed eater. I’ve always had great luck with that mixture. 32:1 always seemed to rich and I’d be failing plugs. 50:1 always was to lean. But that was just my testing and sweet spot for me. You run what you’re comfortable with that way you will be happy with your decision not anyone else’s. I wish I was closer I would ride that thing for you. The reason it’s not handling good on asphalt is it’s made for the dirt obviously LOL but you could put street tires or slicks on it and it would handle better but you would have to probably extend your alarms by 2 inches. Great videos I’m a huge fan keep it up thank you for putting great content on TH-cam. As much as I know about wrenching I have learned a lot from you stuff I knew but was great seeing how you did it.
My ankle hurts every time I see you kick it over, memories of that kick starter being so boxed in and slippery when you don't have the right footwear coming back to haunt me I guess!
The idle is not low! That's how a big bore 2-stroke should idle. That carb slide is pretty worn and should be replaced also. How do you know what the needle position should be if you don't know what needle it has or what needle the "chart" was using?
Keep this quad for sure joe it's a weapon mate cracking job you've done on this hard work pays for sure yeah don't want to see you die either would miss all the good content stay safe mate quality video man all the best enjoy 🔧🔧🔧👍👌
It's a pretty cool quad Joe! That quadzilla engine alone is worth the most of whole build. Good for your collection! Do you keep your machines w/batteries on a "digital battery tender" in winter mos?
I have a 39mm pwk carb on my Zilla with a sixty thousandths bore and v-force 3 reeds ant the CT fat bastard pipe and I'm running a 175 main with a 56 pilot and I tuned my bike by doing the plug chop method and it was spot on with those jets
Go up on the main especially in the winter. You will need to rejet in summer. A plug chop will show the evidence. Also shift that girl. Fun build though!
Hi buddy . Iv got a 2006 kxf 250 and it's locked up ... wot would b the most likely reason .... lad I got it off sead he fitted most new parts in the engine ... but wen he's built it bk up the kick is locked ... gears work but no movement... plz any advice would b appreciate 🙏
It has more in it.... some more speed parts and machining.. also running lean it seems.. i remember more smoke back in the day. These are meant to run hard, you can rev the hell out of 2 strokes they love it
My Dad and Uncle would carry a lot of extra plugs they always fouled up no matter how good it was running, the thing is a BEAST.
Congrats on working it out. Don't ever sell it, you WILL regret it if you do.
He should let me buy that
This is an amazing vehicle! Definitly one of a kind! No one ever said they had a Yamazuki Quadshee... :P
It sounds much better than last time!!! It's a beast now!!
Love how excited you get Joe, great job!

couldnt hurt to have a higher ply tire with steel belts too lol sooo fast! nice job brother, be safe :)
You got balls man going that fast with ATV tires on a paved road ! Kudos to you !
Two stroke are born sick as hell

40-1 is better
40:1
Still revving it like a 125 . I'm surprised it didn't blow up this time .
Christ, if these machines were built that dainty there wouldn’t be ANY wheels on the market right now from the time. Stop being a pansy
Those are for reving😂
The wobble is from the J arm setup thats why they discontinued them !
Nice work 👍🏻👍🏻
Bro your bugging out that thing is scary fast 😳, great video as usual friend
Definitely my favorite build of all time and a build I would love to do myself to keep in my collection of bikes and wouldn't sell it at all
Street tires would be wise for those speeds.
That needs bigger jets that iss so splutters bro or the choke is on or broke that should hit bands with no splutter mid top range
@@rideman9846 you heard that too thought it was me LOL looks like it needs new wheel bearings
I wish I lived closer because I would be your test pilot on opening up anything you have with a engine. Sweet quad though, it's a beast. Keep up the good work, your a very knowledgeable guy.
Love that quad 🤘🤘
I done something similar with a Yamaha blaster and a Suzuki lt230 engine turned out badass
Badass Joe! Keep up the great work. We always look forward to watching your vids
I think it's running a little lean on the pilot, unless it's running a bit rich on the main. You should try a 180 main or 5 down from what was in it and then a 60 for the pilot or 5 up and see if it's any better.
U definitely need to keep this one it's only going up in value bro
Good lord thats a fucking demon
Love the 500 content and nice drone footage!
the more oil you add to premix the leaner the Air fuel ratio will be because the is there is less gasoline molecules and more oil molecules I read this in Dirtbike or motocross action many years ago. so 32 to 1 oil mix will have a leaner air fuel mixture than 50 to 1. I didnt get it at first but it makes sense.
Thats because oil is no replacement for gas. Less gas means more lean
Video idea: go on a road trip to rip it out on the dunes somewhere. May need paddle tires though.
also maybe DIY alignment on this quad lol
The only road trip he goes on, is to his parents house, to ride around in circles, or straight line on a bitumen road. Not one of his video's ever shows him riding anywhere else.
@@wisecampmotorcycles8258 i agree but he’s a good machine you can tell he don’t know how to ride. Lol
Still sounds like it's breaking up at high rpm
Man I love when you upload
Damm Joe, I'm waiting for u to kick it over,and u keep stepping on on the kicker!!! U had me stressing.🤔
If its been bored over that much you cant rely on the stock jetitng numbers you gotta find it yourself by riding it and plugs. I doubt it'll blow up again though since you noticed the piston edge coming above the cylinder.

Hes not running stock jetting
love the aerial footage at the end
She's a keeper Joe.
It was a Good Idea to end on a good note, its running very close to spot on, you didn't blow it up, and No Deaths in the family !
Great t see your persistence pay off. Good find on the piston protrusion. Those front knobby tires are going to need a dirt road or switch to street tires for those speeds. I think the plug is a little lean for my taste. I would stay with 32:1 mix and try those jets awhile.
He's at 28:1 fuel mix.
also cold weather runs leaner because the air is more dense has more O2 in it.
might wanna go up a size or 2 on the main jet still sounds a bit lean. pilot jet seems to be close if not spot on tho
Yeah I might go up to a 190 main. Just to be extra safe.
@@2vintage i would. just seems to break up on the top end witch makes me think its still a bit lean
@@2vintage either a 190 or move the needle up a notch or two
@@2vintage brother name your price
The drone footage is a nice touch.
Damn son, if ya gonna send it that fast on the pavement, you should consider wearing road race leathers. Asphalt sucks when it's being scrapped out of your skin. Frikin awesome ride though.
Don’t do it!! We like your videos don’t get hurt it not worth it. You proved its fast already. Stay safe.
Great video and build glad to see you got her going and running well the thing is a beast dude hope you keep it that thing has a lot of potential👍🏼😎🤩
I can’t figure y most people cut front fenders I know racing saves weight but with eyeful of mud ,water ,sand. Ur losing time even googles never could figure that out few pounds or face full of mud. I’ll take pounds any day.
Sweet ride brother. U finally got her going good. Them quadzillas was hard to start almost new. Good job 👍🏻
Loving the content I'm planning on buying something you fixed before so I can give it shot keep going bro big motivation hyped for the turbo 400
Awesome video man

Watching this on my way to dayton Ohio bad ass

I HOPE IT BLOWS UP AGAIN !!!!
😂 get a life

SHE IS FASTTT!! 🔥🔥
Yamazuki Banzilla🌗🔥
I've noticed in alot of videos that u way over Rev between gears unless it's just your audio? Otherwise I enjoy your video's keep em coming!!!!!
I have a 39mm pwk carb on my Zilla with a sixty thousandths bore and v-force 3 reeds ant the CT fat bastard pipe and I'm running a 175 main with a 56 pilot and I tuned my bike by doing the plug chop method and it was spot on with those jets
Front tire tread looks backwards so that could have a lot to do with the wobble as well.
Just swap the wheels over
@@bigmac.. yeah I know lol
You can tell when he enjoys riding something, when mom n dad's back 40 ain't covered in snow anymore 🤣. Dig ur videos pal keep it up!
The Quadzilla was a 500cc Suzuki single cylinder. Cool down warm up just ride it. You should only ride a Breeze.
That thing is insane
That is one of the best quads ever made and the Honda 250 R
go to a 60 pilot and a 190 main drop your needle one ring and try it
Sounding good that’s a badass quad I’m glad you held on doing 76 those jeans wouldn’t have saved much skin
Damn I can't wait to see the new track
Awesome bike man. I would get some Banzilla decals made forthe rear fenders. Just a thought😁🇺🇸. Good job God bless
That things a cheek flapper for sure!
Awesome bud.
Soon as u get the ports cleared up,ThAT bike is gonna be a monster..👍👍
How is it through the trails?? Is it actually good enough to go ride for few hours...
I had a clapped out Zilla when I was a kid. It would hit 94 mph before it run out of gearing. Had a 15 tooth front sprocket
Alaska say love your videos I ride a 04 banshee good luck to you
Need to short shift it to accelerate fast on these. They have great low end torque, not to much in the high end
I think its still off on the jetting, awesome bike man 👍glad it's finally running
Great run
Hey Joe where do you buy all your jets from?
You can get a string stabilizer for it for like 150$ for a cheap one and that will help with the shaking to and handling
Nope. j arm problem.turd bird
Go up on the main especially in the winter. You will need to rejet in summer. A plug chop will show the evidence. Also shift that girl. Fun build though!
Now keep in mind you have the fuel mix at 28:1 and fat jets , when you switch the fuel mixture and warmer temps that's going to run different .
It's all in the carb , Keihin are the best mine is jetted perfectly on my RM & sound crispier than a Rice Krispies
the quad is great but what a stable shot that drone gets
Wow yea new tires would help maybe try again after that good job buddy
You should do street front and back tire top speed run.. wobble would be with street tires
Hi buddy . Iv got a 2006 kxf 250 and it's locked up ... wot would b the most likely reason .... lad I got it off sead he fitted most new parts in the engine ... but wen he's built it bk up the kick is locked ... gears work but no movement... plz any advice would b appreciate 🙏
Maybe the kickstart mechanism is binding up. Or maybe he put the clutch on wrong.
does the kickstart lever rotate as it should, but doesn't move the piston? Or the piston is actually locked?
Richen the Air screw a tad. Will calm that lean idle after a run.
I’ll come do it for you! Always on for the thrill no
Matter the cost! In Minnesota too
I have never fouled a ngk iridium plug on several 2 strokes. BR8EIX.
Hi, Where did you get that drain pan???? I don't wish to pay a motorcycle accessory price. Thanks
It has more in it.... some more speed parts and machining.. also running lean it seems.. i remember more smoke back in the day. These are meant to run hard, you can rev the hell out of 2 strokes they love it
BANZILLA!!! 😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Bro Ik it’s a powerful quad but u wasn’t getting no real speed cause I think u was a little bit scared of her but u earned my sub 🤟🏾😂
You can change the pilot and main through the float bowl drain
I would love to come and ride Banshee Quadzilla
have you thought about lowering the quad and extending the a arms ?? this would be an awesome daily road hell raiser :D some cool road tyres too
Oh look it's a Banzilla! hehe
Hell yeah !!!!! Crusin now joey
you might even try coming out or in an eighth to a quarter on the airspeed screw
Can’t wait for the next turbo 400 video this thing and that need to race when you get the 400 running good
What do you do, with all the ATV and MC you fix? Could you maybe make a video on it?
Yeah that has to b a thrill ride!!!
