what is the now known weakness of the zilla motor?

thanks fellas. according to yamaha's web site ya'all are correct. i didn't check their site until bigboybanshee mentioned it because i figured they wouldn't have info on older models listed. my other dilema is choosing between a used raptor or a used 450. i won't be racing just trail riding because my banshee is becoming trail UNfriendly, which i plan on keeping.

if i remember correctly when the YFZ450 was first introduced it didn't have a true 450cc engine, then later on YAMAHA changed it to basically a 450cc engine. if this is the case, what model year did this change take place? i may look into buying a used 450 and i wanted to make sure i was looking for one with the newer CC engine.

is this trinity's 420 that uses the stock jugs? if so, you would be much better off with a 421 cub, especially if you're going to drag race. i had a trinity 420 and it was a good setup and had a broader power band than the 421 cub that i have now but the cub runs much stronger on the topend. the cubs were designed for drag racing. plus, you'll find better prices for alot of things somewhere else.

that's what they do well.

you have a pm.

you have a pm.

hahaha.........no i don't want to trade, although i probably should. as you know, one is never done. damn, how time flies, and how busy one gets. i apologize for not trying to hook up with you after i got my engine put together as i said i would. i owe you a few beers when the time comes that we are able to hook up.

you have heard correctly. you would definitely enjoy a set of stock cylinders with a MX or dune/play port much more than a set of cubs in the trails. no matter how you set up the cubs as far as pipes, carbs, tires, gearing, etc. oh, and good luck getting a cub motor to hook up in the trails and if you do then the front end will come up. then if you try to prevent the front end from coming up with a longer swing arm then you'll be taking away from your manueverability. trust me, along with the others, we speak from experience. i bought my shee new and like others have gone through different stages, as far as pipes and ported stock cylinders to the 421 cub motor and this is the worst set up for the trails that i have ever ridden. the cub motor is one hell of a blast in the open or in a drag race where it was designed for. well said. and i've noticed that when you do come off the pipe in a higher gear you'll need to slow down and down shift in order to get back on the pipe instead rolling back on the throttle like i was usually able to do with other set ups. of course my gearing could have an effect on this but mainly it's because it has a peakier HP characteristic than my other set ups.

i PM'ed you.

alright, we'll try to plan our timing around noon.

if i remember correctely from previous posts that there is some trail riding around there and a camping area, is this so? if so can we get onto the property friday morning? a buddy and i want to come check out things this weekend and camp out friday and saturday night. we were told by someone not associated with the track that we could show up friday morning and camp out for the two nights. a little more info would be nice so we don't make the trip down there from tampa with my buddies 40 footer too early. thanks. chuck.

http://designengineering.com/products.asp?m=sp&pid=22 this is what i use. i bought them from advance auto parts for around $14 for two. there is a steel ring at the unstitched end that has to be removed. i undid the stitching and slid the ring out. then i folded the now unstitched end and slid it on the stinger first. they will stretch easily enough to slide on. i didn't use any thing to hold them in place but if i did i would use plastic tie wraps because they won't get no where near hot enough to harm the tie wraps or the outerwears. i've had no issues at all with them harming the outerwears. i will definitely use them again if need be.

sweet, that's great.

sweet..............that's a bad ass southpaw right there boys.

what would be better is if he had a chick tattoed on his belly with her legs spread with his belly button as one of her holes.

those red wheels look real good.

i know the standard cheetahs use 250 intakes. do those bigger cylinders use 500 intakes, or what?

i have the standard silver wheels on my 03 and i was wondering if anyone has polished their stock wheels? the wheels that my paddles are mounted on are polished douglas wheels. so when i put them on the shee it looks a little wierd because the fronts aren't polished. are the stockers clear coated? can they be polished easily?

it's because trinity has a bad rep on this site. i did't get as much out my trinity 420 big bore kit as i should have. knowing that i wouldn't, i didn't ask as much as i should have. but, i wanted to turn them so i could get money for other parts. it seems like the name trinity is taboo on this site. good luck John.

jugs, head, pistons, copper gasket, and a new base gasket: SOLD. the other parts are still for sale. big daddy needs beer money for the holiday's.......please help the needy.

well said, i agree. the mean green is king. this year is another example that there needs to be a playoff sytem of some sort in order to make it more fair.

i want the gaytors to lose so i can laugh at all of the band wagon fans here at work. they're starting to crawl out of their hole's now, and it will only get worse when it gets closer to game time. and if they win holy phuck look out, i'll see people wearing gaytor gear that i've never seen with it before. i've been here 11 years and i've seen many times. i hate band wagon biatches.
