Quadzilla Banshee Quad Blown Up First Ride (I Can't Believe This Happened) 

Sounded Way to lean

When you let off the throttle you Can hear it getting to much Air, you want it to throttle Down faster. 2-stroke is a sensitive mistress 😚😁

That happened to me on a dirt bike wide open on a dirt road in the dark. Luckily my back tire was bald so I had a long smooth drag when it locked up

New blaster video soon?

Also sounded lean and light running

Oh yeah it was lean, you could hear it bad at some parts

I don’t think you can necessarily bring a quad Zila to swap the banshee back “stronger” lol

Umm 650 stroker just saying

Learn how to ride a 2 stroke. Treat it right and it'll treat you right

@@bad4life2013 is there 1 particular way to ride ?

I was thinking the same exact thing at the beginning of the vid

100% correct

Unless you got bad crank seals bad seals in general

@@dirtbikesrawseome bad seals suck outside air into the crank case and make the mixture lean. Same cause the carb just isn't to blame in that case

I was told by the performance shop a few miles away from me to turn your screw all the way in then 1 1/4 turns and then fine tune from there.always went with that and never failed me yet.

When you say big bore do you mean 550 or 700?

@@rgracing4109 both. We talkin two strokes son.but really depends on stroke vs. Bore size

@@conniestevenson226 I'm talking a bolt on kit Because over here we put 80-70cc kits on 50cc engines

@@rgracing4109 what is the 550 or 700 you were saying in the 1st comment about.i thought you ment a big bore 550 or 700cc engine

@@rgracing4109 a 70cc kit for a 50cc might be ok for revving out. It should be If its only a bigger bore and not a stroke increase

It’s a 2 smoker? They’re made to be ridden pinned

@@philipyurk1408 not 24/7. Riding wide open down a road vs on the pipe at a track is 2 different things. Also clearly something wasn’t right to begin with

😅😂🤣🤣🤣

@@philipyurk1408 nope.not at all.big bores do not like to be pinned for too long.but its worse when the stroke is more then the bore

Truly if he knew what he was doing all this would go easier lol ...Never adjust idle by throttle cable and never rev the PEE ( like the RM 125) out of a fresh built motor for the first few hours lol

Was for sure running lean in the first video

Yup I thought the same thing I bet were right too

Don’t think it has a melted piston. Only hurt on the side’s. Ran to hot and the piston expanded. It happened to me 4 times before I put on a bigger carburetor. I think the gas 🚰 dohicki is broke.

@@josteincarlsen2905 What were you running that it needed a bigger carb? Usually just throw in some bigger jets

Yeah the lack of exhaust smoke had me cringing haha.

This is the best comment I've seen 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 👍🏼

Yup I was thinking exact thing

What causes the piston to seize on the intake side 😳 curious it happened to me

i think he rides it through the gears coz its how its meant to be ridden , and would be a boring video if he just pootled about...

@@custommadeknives well he needs massive amounts of lessons.hes terrible.every video.reving an lt500 out to long is not what it can handle.

@@custommadeknives holding anything you rebuilt in 5th or 6th gear pinned down the road for extended periods of time is NOT how you should ride it. Not until you know the bike/atv is running perfect. This is what happens when it's not.

I also want to add the fact that if he was doing this on a dirtbike he most likely would be in the hospital. Top speed runs on the road are cool until something goes wrong and then it's bad news. Thankfully Joe had 4 wheels and wet pavement under him

@@AUSTIN_457 bro, its a two stroke, they go bang for fun, ive had them blow doing half the revs hes done, this makes for better watching, also its his quad he gets more videos out of it blowing up , its how it works .

Yea, if he was on a bike and it locked up like that at those speeds, you better pray it slides like this cuz they normally hit the ground first then slide you all over the pavement be careful on project's testing at super high speeds! Safety is #1 ALWAYS and lookin cool is second😎😂

Not a bad idea. I have thought about it.

Yes 🙌

Yeah a build series would be a nice change of scenery, like the garage renovation video.

I’m literally an hours north of 2vintage and I just sold a Suzuki 500 roller for $100 lol

@@boldmovers6707 ouch lol what a shame

lololol or out of gas 😹

@@samuelperezcamacho9735 tires lock up umm is it out of gas? Hahahaha

Isn't that the truth

You never had no 100hp banshee 😂

I’d say if he wants to do this for a living he needs to be able to atleast diagnose that this machine wasn’t running correctly from the start. super lean hanging idle/and some pre detonation.

Agreed, you could hear how lean it was running the whole time, i could also hear some pre detonation.

@@Silvis117 yes, when you can hear the "metal mites", it's usually terminal shortly thereafter.

your supposed to ride in powerband

you couldn't be more wrong. if you don't rev out 2 strokes they foul and stop running you can't just putt putt them around you have to man line them lol, oil will build up in the expansion chamber also if you putt until they drown out lol they love revving out so much they are a prime engine for boats, high rpm for hours no problem. chance is based on the age of the engine his problem was the rings were starting to wear out making it run lean,which is normal on a 2 stroke, as they wear out you have to always jet it larger every so often and if it wasn't re jetted for the higher octane it was just running even more lean because higher octane doesn't mean more power it means a longer time to detonate therefore you need more fuel because less of it burns.

@@boogerfromthatmovie4257 you hit the tree with the axe there pal 👍🏻

@@TickenLifters my first bike was a 1974 yz250. it was an air cooled poorly oiled motor lol changing rings and rejetting is second nature for me haha

@Dwane Meighan yeah i run my bike super rich so i can hold it a big longer but still rarely get to hold it wide.

Yeah, just tuned improperly.

Sometimes that's just resonance.

I agree, it did sound like the idle was hanging.

could be a culprit aswell but unlikely

Haha good eye!

I think yer water pump oring fix made it overheat er somethin

He has no clutch control when he takes off, just dumps the clutch like a 5 year old, still doesn't know how to shift gears, and revs the piss out of 500 two stroke on the road, any wonder he blew it up man 😂

More oil in your oil/fuel ratio makes your fuel/air ratio leaner. I always cringe when guys say “I run more oil during break in” when in reality they only made it leaner. Just mix at 32:1 or 40:1 jet accordingly and stick with it

Speel much

@@Logan_Barnes43 calm your not perfect and neither am I

@@Logan_Barnes43 it's not like I can't spell it. It's just a typo.

@@isaiahminton2766 ik that's why I put speel

@@Logan_Barnes43 apparently you don't spell much either

OK, first, let's figure out why it blew up. I've been working with and studying Quadzillas for over 15 years, so I believe I've got a pretty good understanding of them. They are easier to screw up than get correct if one isn't careful. Did the previous owner say, or have receipts from, the shop that "tuned" it? If so, did they take note of the atmospheric conditions it was tuned for? We need to compare those to the conditions you were just riding in. Take off the magneto cover. Grab the flywheel and see if it moves up and down. If it does, the main bearing bores in the engine are shot, and the person or shop who built the engine should be held responsible. Quadzillas are KNOWN for this. If someone puts a main bearing in it's bore, and the outer race can be turned, and they think that's OK, they should stop "wrenching" and start collecting stamps. It didn't just wear out since the engine was built a little while ago. It might have an air leak. You need to buy or build a 2 stroke pressure tester. Lots of info and videos about it. You'll need to pull the flywheel to examine if the MAG seal is leaking, so check above first. You can look at some of these without taking the air tight parts of the engine apart, so if you can't pressure test it now, no big deal. The crankcase halves are a matched set. If someone mixed and matched them, their base gasket surfaces, and probably, all the bearing bores won't match left to right. That means air leaks and that means burn downs. Maybe whoever built the engine didn't use a correct sealant on the case halves. Maybe gas and or oil dissolved it or weakened it. Did the previous owner say, or have receipts from, the shop who bored it? They could have done it crooked, not chamfered the ports correctly, not clearanced it to the piston correctly, etc. You have to take the engine apart to check, so leave that for later. The builder might not have checked the ring end gap. That puts undue stress on the rings and bore, and could've caused your problem. Again, leave that for later. I wonder what kind of main bearings are in there. Chinese or other low quality bearings could have failed, or were failing, and let air past the MAG seal, causing a lean out. Again, check them later after the leakdown test. The same with the MAG seal. Low quality, or possibly not lubed before crank install, or damaged during crank install, would also cause a lean out. Again, check later. Too much cut off the head would raise the compression ratio too much. What fuel and and oil, and at what ratio, where you using? Did you bleed the air out of the cylinder head when you added coolant? Can you see if the base gasket is spit out anywhere? On the sides? Under the reed? Non OEM base gaskets are known for this. Can you see if that aftermarket reed has a gasket between it and the cylinder? Also, we need to determine if the exhaust valve is set correctly, but we can do that later too. If it's not set correctly, and it's open at higher RPMs, it WILL burn down. See if the flywheel key is advanced when you pull the flywheel. There are 3 reasons it vibrates. 1. It's a 500. Even with a balancer, it's not a 125. 2. Whoever did the crank might not have trued it correctly, or at all. Did the previous owner say, or have receipts from, the shop who replaced the rod? 3. Whoever built the engine might not have the balancer timed correctly. It's not hard, just line up dots on the crank half and gears... Did you drain the trans oil yet? Hopefully it doesn't have chunks of trans gears in there.

You sound dumb he ready bought it so that means it’s his responsibly now what comes up

Definitely got an hole in the piston.

Lean ass jets

You get the attention you wanted. Been over a year😂 how's your quadzilla banshee hybrid run?

He's clueless
