LT500R Silver Lake MI

I wanted a Zilla since I was 14. Finally bought mine this year. Only took 26 years. I love it. It's a monster.

I’m turning 16 next month lol i would have one but I know for a fact I’d hurt myself

[@jag2474]

Me too man but I somehow managed to get it at 17 worked my bit off no regrets!!

[@jag2474]

Shane Schartel I’m 17 and got one man but I’m not gonna lie I’m not really a normal kid I went from riding fourwheelers to a built crf450r and then to my zilla it’s a monster been lookin for that dirt bike speed on 4 wheels and I found it !

[@weswilks3865]

Secret to kick starting a high compression bike such as a Zilla is simply placement!

[@mitchmoe6224]

Hmm... When I had my LT500 the throttle only had two positions. Idle and wide open. This 1/3 throttle must be a new concept.

Is it hard to source parts for these, these days? Iv akways kinda wanted one but figure some parts coukd be challenging

[@warhusky51]

yes the description is true lol. and there is a trick to it to starting I can try helping you figure it out, a 500 is different then a 250 but same concept its a 2 stroke

[@yamaharaptor69]

lol idk if it was you but have you ever been to bundy hill on the 500 bc last summer I seen a lt500 there and it looks just like yours lol

[@junkyardhemi]

yamaharaptor69 I ride at Bundy pretty often. My Zilla hasn’t been there since 2018 when I blew it up. Getting completely rebuilt.

Whats the sense in having 500ccs if you are only going to use 125 of them?
