I was 14 and owned one of the first Banshee in 1987. The Banshee was not only my first quad but my first 2 stroke machine. When they delivered the Banshee to my house, the guy asked if I wanted him to adjust the throttle. I remember this like it was yesterday! So beside my house was a blacktop road. As soon as I hit the throttle I understood why the guy wanted to adjust the throttle... Needless to say I'm still alive today lol. The Banshee was the fastest production quad back then until the 500 Quad Racer came out. They were fairly rare to see though so my only real comp was that damn ATC 250R 3 wheeler. Mike - not sure if you've rebuilt one of those yet but that might be a lot of fun to build. Don't ride it though!! Great Video's sir!

This video was awesome Mike! Watching you wrench and bring machines back to life is so entertaining! Great job 👏👏🤘

I’m 33 . My dad owned one when I was a baby. Wish we had pictures but we had one that was my dad and I coming over the top of a chat pile in Pithcer Oklahoma when I was 2-3. We was doing a wheelie over the top and I was smiling ear to ear. Plus we used to load up on it my dad mom and I and go ridding the back roads from our house to go swim miles away from home. Hell I even had the electric Suzuki 500 to match for me as a kid. Loved these quads. Brings back great memories.

Awesome rebuild! I was in love with these as a 14 year old kid in '87. I would sit and watch them race on TV anytime they were on. What an animal.. The Quadzilla!!

[pilman]

Love that you show yourself doing the work on your machines. You do some great work man. Much respect

[josefrobbins]

I don't even own a Quadzilla or bike anymore, and I wanna get that Carburetor just because it's such a deal. Seriously though, nice job on the Zilla Mike, and thanks for showcasing the building process. It's a great way to get people into the hobby, and gives em the confidence to buy and work on their stuff. All the QuadZilla is missing is a full Laeger's treatment, Fox/Ekla/Axis up front and rear, and a signature "'Dr. Q'' Pipe!

I can’t wait to see you get it in the powerband. Even a stock Zilla is pretty awesome to rip

[DuneRiderLife]

The jetting is spot on. With the desert heat and the sand resistance. Gonna need it little rich.

[beatsbymooncricket]

wow it came out phreaking awesome as always, you do the bet ATV videos on YouTube or anywhere I've seen. My Quadzilla broke my shin when it kicked back once and i was stuck in the desert with my buddies all weekend .Couldn't even get my boot off all weekend . I been a fan for awhile and you have got me searching for another project. Keep up the awesome video bro.

[clintondavid]

I loved this whole build. The music is sick!!!

[kylekallies]

Love that you and John work together on things crazy kool quad

[jaegersracing]

Set a timer because I was pumped all day to watch!! Awesome video! Can’t wait to see what you guys do with it from here!

[commentpulling]

Surprised you left the twist throttle on there. Glad to see it going. Can’t wait to see it in some quad wars. 👍🏻

[breakfree]

Just doesn’t seem right without the blue seat. Badass quad either way!

[aaronbrunelle]

Another great quad out on the streets! Keep building Mike!

[donnieroessling]

I’d tune it and put that beast in a museum. It’s a piece of quad history for sure. Thanks for sharing it

[codyhoughton]

you are rad man. i like your vidoes and your style! please keep these going for awhile

[Wheeler_Bros]

Super sick quad! Loved seeing you work on it and ride around, I’ve never even really got the chance to see one in person so seeing your reaction was definitely awesome keep up the great videos!

[mikeolson]

Turned out pretty nice, and it's Def a Lil rich on the jetting Michael, but that's OK on the fresh engine until a bit of time has been put on her.I worked for one of the larger Suzuki dealers in southern Illinois back in the eighties up until early 90's as the lead technician and eventually service manager.We sold a heap of 250 and 500 quads and the first batch of quadzillas had a few issues as I remember.The crankshaft to rotor taper was wrong and they would shear off the flywheel keys resulting in the rotor inertia welding itself to the crankshaft, lol.pretty sure our Suzuki service rep told us that I mighta been the first person in the U.S. to do a crankshaft and rotor replacement on the venerable LT-500R.Keep up the awesome builds, I enjoy watching these old 2 stroke quad builds as it brings back some good memories working on all of those older bikes and quads.
