What they couldn't see were the now known weaknesses in the design of the motor of the Zilla.

can some body email this?

 

Email is [email protected]

 

I sent you an email with it!

 

The quality is that good, so I could not host them to where they would be readable.

 

If anyone else wants an email, let me know!

Sent it to your fax around 2:00 today.

 

I got it, but the fax was kind of crappy (like ususal) so I was unable to get readable to host it on imageshack.

 

If you guys want me to email it to you, let me know!

Due to file size... some of your emails were sent back to me. I ended up sending all of them out together in a set of 4 emails. I hope this works this time... Sorry about that guys!

Here is a direct quote from DR Q. If you are not familiar w/DR Q he is one of the most knowledgable builders of 2-stroke suzuki's out there. This was a response to the question of what flaws do they have from the factory.

 

OK,

I'll spell it out in black and white in case anybody cares.

1987: The bike came out with a head w/only 6 X 8mm studs holding it down, a head chamber prone to detonate, a "bleed' type carb that had a lean spot/jetting issues and the case had no support around the magneto side crank bearing.

The bike detonated, beat the crank bearings/case out and then major vibration started. All this vibration f-cks evrything up........from the frame, bolts, pegs, flywheel,cylinder ears cracking etc, etc. The longer/harder the bike is run before it's fixed the more stuff is trashed.

I wrote an Rx on MacD that addresses these issues and more so you will end up w/a bullet proof LT500 that you can actually enjoy riding instead of learning the "finer points" of "tow rope wrangling"

Here are parts 2-8, photobucket shrinks the images a little bit, the ones sent in the e-mail were larger, and more readable, not terrible though.

In my mind, the shee should be the real winner, come on, a 20 year run for an ATV is probably the best ever! Also,the motors were reliable right out of the box, they didn't need to be fixed, and they don't grenade. TORs is the only thing that sucked, but it's easily removable, at least your not trying to rig up cases and shit.

" A big fat half liter piston slamming up and down with so much authority that the ground under it shook several notches on the Richter scale."........now that makes me want to get a project 500! Good article.
