      Hell I'm an old school 2 stroke guy for life and I've always been told to break it in like you ride it. I've had and rebuilt many badass 250Rs and banshees and master blasters and almost every 2 stroke dirt bike made and I always fire it up and let it idle a bit as soon as I get it back together and rev it a bit and listen for any noises in the motor and let it warm up a bit and kill it and let it cool and if everything seems good I'll take it out and putt around and get it all warmed up so it's not breaking up and if everything still sounds good I let her rip just like I would any other time and have never had any issues with the 2 strokes that way I would not do a 4 stroke break in like this though but with the 2 strokes I never have them bore the cylinders super tight tolerance wise to the piston because they will want to try and seize up a bit once they get really warm with this break in method once everything cools down it will free back up and just takes a little more care to break it in but with not so tight of tolerances you will be just fine breaking it in like you ride it.

    Hey Brother zilla owners. I bought mine new in 1987 (early 88 model), still have it. First off thanks for doing these video's, you're a natural at that. Some advice from me. You will soon realize how heavy the zilla steering is. It's the 10 degree castor angle (pretty much a chopper). You mentioned a 250R, they have a 5 degree angle, it's like power steering. Adjustable a-arms....dial it back to 0 degrees, super easy steering (I did it to mine and can ride all day now). Also, a lightened flywheel really makes her hit hard..common mod done to stock flywheel. I had my porting done at Duncan Racing ( National Kit). Go to the web page, awesome zilla carb tuning info, and they have info about everything too, Technical pages section...incredibly easy to follow. Love your videos...no annoying music, just 2 stroke noise....thanks.

    • @coloradodirtbike5930
      @coloradodirtbike5930 3 роки тому +1

      If you ride and build a lot of two strokes, you can feel if it's too lean or rich without even needing to plug chop it. Boggy or delay too rich. Hanging idle or not revving out just falling flat up top too lean on the needle/main jet.

    • @GixxerKris

    Got the ole daisy thrasher running good.. Mike this is coming from a guy that’s 41 and has been throwing a leg over a quad since he was 4, I’ve rode, worked on and owned nearly every quad made and I’ll say I like the way you work on them and how you do the rebuilds. You’re meticulous like myself and like to do things in a step process like you do as well. . I find that less things get missed or done wrong this way. Even tho we ran a powersports shop for a few years like yourself Im not a certified powersports tech but I’ve been wrenching on them as long as I could turn a wrench.
    I appreciate that you and John are still enjoying stomping gears on atvs and haven’t started throwing a walking cane in a rubber-band driven SxS yet.lol.. Not to say there not fun and I wouldn’t be opposed to having one as a secondary, but they will never have the seat of the pants thrill like a atv or dirt bike.. If Y’all ever get down to Kentucky we’ve got a few good spots to rip around on.
