Quadzilla Banshee Top Speed Test. The FASTEST 2-Stroke Quad Ever Made 

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.

Still revving it like a 125 . I'm surprised it didn't blow up this time .

Congrats on working it out. Don't ever sell it, you WILL regret it if you do.

Love how excited you get Joe, great job!

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.

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!!!

Badass Joe! Keep up the great work. We always look forward to watching your vids

couldnt hurt to have a higher ply tire with steel belts too lol sooo fast! nice job brother, be safe :)

This is an amazing vehicle! Definitly one of a kind! No one ever said they had a Yamazuki Quadshee... :P

Love the 500 content and nice drone footage!

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

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👍🏼😎🤩

It sounds much better than last time!!! It's a beast now!!

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!

Man I love when you upload

Bro your bugging out that thing is scary fast 😳, great video as usual friend

Love that quad 🤘🤘

The wobble is from the J arm setup thats why they discontinued them ! Nice work 👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome video man

You got balls man going that fast with ATV tires on a paved road ! Kudos to you !

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

love the aerial footage at the end

Damm Joe, I'm waiting for u to kick it over,and u keep stepping on on the kicker!!! U had me stressing.🤔

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.

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 🔧🔧🔧👍👌

Sounds Awesome.

Street tires would be wise for those speeds.

Still sounds like it's breaking up at high rpm

Great run

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?

Awsome machines they are unstoppable keep it never sell value will only go up on them

The drone footage is a nice touch.

Awesome bud.

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!

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 !

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.

Video idea: go on a road trip to rip it out on the dunes somewhere. May need paddle tires though.

Wish i could own one of ur bikes man ur really good iv been watching all ur vidoes i wanted to do wat u do but i live in FL the broken bikes cost too much down here i would have to drive up there just to get one it kinda sucks

That thing is insane

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.

Don’t do it!! We like your videos don’t get hurt it not worth it. You proved its fast already. Stay safe.

U definitely need to keep this one it's only going up in value bro

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

Sounding good that’s a badass quad I’m glad you held on doing 76 those jeans wouldn’t have saved much skin

I done something similar with a Yamaha blaster and a Suzuki lt230 engine turned out badass

Watching this on my way to dayton Ohio bad ass

Soon as u get the ports cleared up,ThAT bike is gonna be a monster..👍👍

Two stroke are born sick as hell

She's a keeper Joe.

That things a cheek flapper for sure!

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.

Thst things sick

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!!!

Can’t wait for the next turbo 400 video this thing and that need to race when you get the 400 running good

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!

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

The Quadzilla was a 500cc Suzuki single cylinder. Cool down warm up just ride it. You should only ride a Breeze.

How is it through the trails?? Is it actually good enough to go ride for few hours...

Hey Joe where do you buy all your jets from?

Alaska say love your videos I ride a 04 banshee good luck to you

Hell yeah !!!!! Crusin now joey

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.

SHE IS FASTTT!! 🔥🔥

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.

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!!

also cold weather runs leaner because the air is more dense has more O2 in it.

Wow yea new tires would help maybe try again after that good job buddy

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.

the quad is great but what a stable shot that drone gets

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 RU-vid. 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.

Nice

I’ll come do it for you! Always on for the thrill no Matter the cost! In Minnesota too

Richen the Air screw a tad. Will calm that lean idle after a run.

Maybe it's my headphones but to me it sounds like it's breaking up on the top end?

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, Where did you get that drain pan???? I don't wish to pay a motorcycle accessory price. Thanks

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

Rev that thing out son💪🏻 😁.Why did you need to cool it off?Just curious because it is cold out. Awesome machine though.Sounds strong.

I got 2022 yz450f 2020 raptor 700r nice content

That is one of the best quads ever made and the Honda 250 R

Did you now get you a radiator cap that till you the temperature it let you know when you get to hot

Good lord thats a fucking demon

How do you get the Quadzilla engine in the banshee since it’s not direct fit

I would love to come and ride Banshee Quadzilla

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 .

Yamazuki Banzilla🌗🔥

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

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!!!!!

You should do street front and back tire top speed run.. wobble would be with street tires

@2vintage what year is your 80cr I recently got a 2001

Great video I would add a steering stabilizer

That thing is a unit jeppers

Where did you get the engine I’m looking to get an engine for my quad

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

Yes

What's the advantages of water cooled vs. air cooled?
