    Suzuki Quadzilla motor swap

    Hello, I found out my buddy has a quadzilla fram sitting in his shop. He says it dosent have a motor in it. So i'm wondering what would be a simple swap for it. Needs motor,carb,radiator,exhaust. Thanks for info

    Simple = Original engine. Beyond that I am sure fabricating of some sort will be required with any non oem engine. The simple part is contingent upon your fabricating skills. (Just a little FYI, we do have a Quad section)

    My buddy had a TRX 250R with a Q-zilla 500 motor cramed into it. So I guess a 250R motor would go into the Q-zilla chassis.

    Buy the way, the Q-zilla motor would rip the stock TRX 250R frame apart every time he rode it.

    I read an article years and years ago where people were putting >1000cc street bike motors in Zilla frames. It was pretty crazy. Point being, as BKM mentioned, pretty much anything is possible depending on your skills.

    i would use a 600 or 750 gxsr.. they are extremely dirt cheap. I cant think of any single cylinder other than the zilla 500 that really belongs in that frame..

    That'd be cool. Just do it right, or we will laugh at you and call you dirty names.
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.
