Picked up a super cheap Quadzilla xlc 300, wasnā€™t running sounds like the starter motor has chewed something up as it still spins but sound like a car crash. Hopefully going to strip it down and have a look, Can already tell someoneā€™s had ago at wiring and done a shit job šŸ™ˆ

The bike looks like its coming along nicely. I see you are in the uk, those quadzillas look much different than the ones Iā€™ve seen here in the US. The ones here are butt ugly!

Not any good quad bike forums in the UK and Iā€™m after a raptor one day, did put a deposit down mid last year on a brand new black and blue 2019 700r with all the extras but pulled out as it was my first quad and didnā€™t know if I would ride it much so got the xlc 500 and love it and my mate got a Dinli 450 just after riding mine šŸ˜‚

Oh wait, I see now itā€™s the 300 not the 500. Those 500s are horrendous lol.

They look kind of scary to me, idk. Like one of those plague doctor masks from medieval times.

So Iā€™ve been watching some vids of these, and wondering... this isnā€™t a Suzuki is it? This is a literal brand named Quadzilla, which has nothing to with the ā€˜80s behemoth by Suzuki dubbed the quadzilla?

Ah shoot that would explain my confusion. That quad I posted is a Suzuki. They called it the quadzilla. My bad lol.
Whatā€™s the specs on that Subaru engine you got?

Damn that sounds fun. Gonna do any internal mods to it?

Starter motor fitted couldnā€™t get it started but sounds a lot better and it wanted to fire up got a few puffs out the exhaust but think I need more fuel as it low! So going to try that and see. Still makes a funny noise when starting which I now think is the chain hitting the metal plate behind it as itā€™s been cut off around the starter motor for some reason!?!?!

Technically, there is no such thing as a Suzuki "Quadzilla".
It is a Suzuki LT500 Quadracer.
2-stroke, 5 speed, manual clutch, no reverse, kick start only, made from 1987-1990.
Quadzilla was a nickname that stuck, as it was the largest cc engine and one of, if not the quickest and fastest 4 wheelers made for many years, and is still up there at the top today.
