I know your repairs go a lot smoother than this one but this was the most realistic one for me. I feel like everything goes wrong when I attempt any kind of repairs. Good for you for powering through!

🙋♂That would be me, 3-4 trips to the parts store, 2-hour project becomes a whole day and more project. Telling the clerk "I do not need that" getting elbows deep, and realizing I need that
My wife has coined a term for when I break something when I’m trying to repair something else…. She calls it “working in the negative”. Sorry to see you were working in the negative on this project, but it looks like you’ve got it under control now. Thoroughly enjoy your vids, keep up the great work.
There's something satisfying about seeing a big job done right..... I'm no mechanic but still it's therapeutic seeing things broken down & made whole again. Plus you add your own thoughts about every step/part. Thanks peace
Dang bummer deal!! Thanks for making it clear to never buy one of these units! 👍👍
Watching these videos has taught me to trust no one for trx700xx sales, parts or whole. You found the one honest guy on the running one you bought
Joe, you have the patience of Job! If indeed there were no off camera expletives “you’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din!”
A great example of why service manuals are imperative to an efficient and successful rebuild. I knew as soon as that outer clutch basket hit the floor that it was broken. I was so sad and mad for you brother, I'm glad you were able to source another one.

Reynolds and Reynolds, Mitchell on demand, Alldata, ADP and service manuals are a multi billion dollar industry... But yeah okay we don't need it, okay bro...
Joe I admire your patience with all your projects but especially this one. With all the curveballs that were thrown at you you just stayed positive and worked through it. I would have been cussing up a storm and probably given up on it lol.
Looks a lot like how a lot of my projects go. Except there’s a lot swearing going on in my projects. Good luck 👍
I bought one of these things new in 2008 and sold it not long after. Glad I got rid of it! Don't have many good things to say about it.
Joe - This one is giving you a hard time. It's the first time I've heard any frustration in your voice--thanks for being authentic. Also, thanks for showing me how to tear things apart and put them together. I just finished replacing a piston and cylinder and watching your channel helped give me confidence to do it. I always look forward to your content and keep up the great work!
Thank you for all you're rebuilds! Keep up the great work!
Great video, with lots of learning moments, bench time, dancing hands Keep up the hard work
On a positive note, the scammer can now enjoy 7 years in prison with his new husband.
This is gonna be a good video i already know. i’ve been waiting for this quad to be fixed for a while.
I always work on a piece of old carpet. Small parts dont go bouncing across the workshop floor and bigger stuff doesnt break when it hits the floor
Love your channel Joe! This repair was true ‘Reality TV’ without anything made up. I can think of a project or two that just got worse the deeper it went! Press on my friend!
I hope you recovered from that scammer. I am sorry you dealt with one of those scums.

He did mention twice that the cam would make more low and mid rev range power. This would likely be just about the opposite of a hot cam. Perhaps in car parlance a 'fast road' cam at most.:o)
Quick tip. Car jack under tht engine to lift it , would have saved you a clutch basket mafriend

When will you release the part two on the evil three wheller you tried to fix but the bottom was too disgusting full ouf rust. Great content. Love it !
I cant wait to see this one ripping. Ive always wanted to ride one but havent ever had the opportunity.
Let’s get this over and done so we can be happy and see Vinny jump for joy! Go Joe go! You got this! Can’t wait to see it done! ✅ gratitude
Seeing as how Joe isn't going to make any money on this beast, let's all like, subscribe, and leave a comment to show Joe a little love. Thanks for all the Vids Joe!!
I remember when this quad was posted on marketplace. My son wanted to buy it. So glad we didn’t. Good luck Joe. I know you’re trying to save money, but all those parts are still available from Honda. I don’t mess with eBay or marketplace if OEM is available.
Thank you, another video full of learning moments and wavy hands. Keep up the hard work
Just a tip on the non canister filters . When you take out wrap in one of your blue paper rags and blow out from center of filter with compressed air . It will show any metal and carbon in oil .
Oh ya you get a pass for not pressure washing it first thing when you got it because the jerk ripped you off… I was flipping riding mowers .. they were all beyond filthy … when I was done with them people would ask if they were new. Lol😂 I can’t stand a filthy machine I definitely can’t stand working on a filthy machine..
Hey Joe, still enjoy watching your vids. I dont think the clutch basket was meant to come out before taking the cover off. You should've just gotten the engine up & loose, or out a bit to get the cover off first. You were fighting it to get it out, without pulling the 4 bolts holding the motor. Taking a bit of a shortcut, cost dearly at the end of the day. But, Hey, we live & learn every day. as long as we learn from our (or your) mistakes, it's all good.
Get yourself some motor koat for that thing. Engine oil treatment. It Coats all your metal parts inside your engine with a Teflon coating. the stuff is amazing I swear by it
I'm really surprised you weren't more concerned with the blue discoloration on the crankshaft. Unless its discolored from being welded together, that seems like its gonne be a problem sooner than later.

Been waiting on this one. Let's Go! Thanks Joe.
Your composure is pretty respectable, when that clutch basket broke I’d have lost my shit and invented a few new swear words!
Alsome finally work on 700. Glade Karma got to the guy that ripped you off
Woow lots of lessons. Thanks for sharing keep it up good job.
Always the way. Once you're basically already so much in the hole it's now going to be more expensive to drop the whole project than it is to fix any and every extra issue you then find as you strip the engine. As soon as that's the case you can virtually guarantee you're going to find other issues with every step you take, it's also going to be the build where you drop or damage one or two of the things that had been fine but now are another cost in the pit that you've taken on. It's one of the reasons, if you already know it's going to cost you a fair amount and you'll have to strip the entire engine anyway, why I think you should strip down the entire thing before you even spend a dollar on it, so you are sure you have a decent idea of what it's going to cost. Could feel a bit of your pain as you first dropped the basket but especially when you found the bent valves. This is one of your videos that feels the most like what it'd be like if watching a video of me rebuilding an engine and fixing a Motorbike or Quad etc. Can't wait to hear that thing roar though.
That's too bad about that clutch basket. Accidents do happen though. I had the same thing happen to me one time pulling the mag off an RZ350. It popped off so fast I couldn't catch it, and it fell on the floor cracking one of the magnets. Luckily I found one at a motorcycle wreckers, but what a pain.
People give you grief on this channel but you have one of the most important qualities of a good mechanic and this video exemplifies it well after what happened around 13:45. PATIENCE
Glad your getting it back together I have a 2009 trx700 myself
You seem like a honest good person… learn from others mistakes or worse our own…. Ive been there too
Joe, you should get into the habit of checking for valve spring bind when using a performance cam, as well as seated and max lift pressures.
Waited a very long time to see this rebuild!! Glad you finally got your parts you needed
been waiting for this video!!!
I’m so glad you decided to do a build on the 700
Can’t wait to see this thing ride
Man Ive been waiting forever for this video. I always thought it was kind of a let down when you just bought a 2nd one, instead of rebuilding this one. Man what a hassle though. Lol that thing looks like such a pita to work on, must have been designed by bmw. Lmao also I've used a bunch of athena and aftermarket cylinders like that kit. Whenever you use one, always double check the dowel holes depths. Some have been shallow when I received them.
I've learned so much from watching you. For some weird reason, I saw the clutch basket getting damaged. Maybe you should think about a rubber mat like, say, a wrestling mat to put the machine on before tearing it down. Love your videos. Keep it up. No sugar coating on your content
I really enjoy your vids ....You never seem to blow your top!
Been waiting for this vidoe
Ace bike Joe,beaut as well as beast!🦾👊🦾🦾
Keep up the good work buddy enjoy the vids
It’s hard to do business online with creeps. Anyways, I enjoy your show and I’m learning a lot. You do great work.
I feel for you. Still losing money regardless of how awesome this quad came out really siphons away any possible excitement for this machine.
Once I find myself in that “anything that can go wrong will go wrong” mode I have to take a break and regroup. Come back the next day. In your head that bike was a scam. It was a scam, but the clutch basket was fuel for the fire. That’s when my mind get too clouded with thoughts of what I am going to do to that guy next time I see him. That’s when I have to take a break because I will make too many mistakes.
Love the videos man. You will do great
Good work! I do love these quads it’s just the lack of availability on parts bothers me. I could never wait a year to put it back together. It’ll all be worth it after it’s run in.
YES BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!
Joe! Almost at 400k subs buddy. Congratulations sir you deserve it . I’ve been watching since about 30k I believe when you and Chuck were working on things back when I believe you were just about out high school or just freshly out . Anyways your skills have massively improved and the quality of parts you use also! You pump out more content than any other Powersports repairman I’ve seen and we are thankful for that !! I’d love chance to buy one of those dirtbikes on day when you sale them. Keep on keeping on
Thank you for all the content I really do think you might be one of the hardest working youtuber if not the hardest one out there Keep up all the great work!!!!
Hey Joe , I have been with your channel for a long time , this is my first time posting .... Three Hundred Dollars for a New part hurts no matter which way you look at it . FOR ALL ITS WORTH LOOK AT YOUR VIDEO @ 13:20 video time about One O'clock Or just to the right of your thumb and I SEEN A CRACK ON THE CLUTCH BASKET. I just looked and normally theres a Dollar sign next to your comment post for your subscribers to help support your channel ... Not there ! Thanks for all your great videos and you do some awesome work and troubleshooting which I clearly understand .... Im going to go give YOU A THUMBS UP right now as always . THANKS AGAIN JOE !
Man, that totally looks like something that would happen to me! (clutch basket drop). My screwups always come from being impatient though, that was just bad luck!!
That's what happens when you cut corners Joe you always try the easy way instead of the correct way. It also amazes me that people say they learn from you 😂😂😂😂😂
My dad bought it from you, the thing absolutely rips!
I remember my eldest son bought one of those nightmares. All I can say as a dad is. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Buckle up my little cowboy yous gots lots a wrenching to do. Great video.
It's A enhanced computer and brain engine turner all in one unit. It's designed for those types of setups and engine builds to Joe.
I’ve had nothing but bad luck with fuel programmers. I’ve found it much better to get the ECU tuned if possible. There are several places that do it for around $300, but you may need to ship it to them.
Well see it again next year. Lol looking forward to it being done and see you enjoy the power it has
Gonna be a beast when its done Joe...then youll have a sick ass quad man.
Damn its just been one of those Journeys with this one, looking forward to those parts showing up, reminds Me of a Ninja 900 I had, I called the cracked cylinder when I seen the coolant pour out the bottom, same thing happened to Me, it was the first motor I tore into. Been binge watching Your content Just discovered Your channel about a Week Ago. Cheers Bud!
It's not the first time you buy something when you can have it welded. You need a friend with a welder. They are handy to have. Or maybe buy one. I've seen cases cracked then built up, then ground to make level. Especially if you have 220 in your shop
Every so often I would think about this build. And wonder what happened. I don't believe in cursed bikes. But this thing has some bad mojo going on. Let's hope you can turn it around. 🤞
Nice morning to get a big bore upload
I'm always amazed by people who think they can Mod a Quad without any reliability issues?! A pipe, a carb, a tune if it's EFI?! Most mods have a huge impact on reliability?! 😮
bro how do u stay so happy😭😂 i would thrown twenty wrenches by halfway in the video
That sucks, you got scammed, hopefully you can recover when the beast is done, karma came and got him, glad you doing this build should be interesting and luv I’m learning about builds
Looks like a clear valve float, someone really beat on that. Worst I've seen without at least one broken valve! And I can now say I've watched someone else drop and break a clutch basket when pulling, what a bummer. At least a replacement is avaliable, small consolation though - I feels that pain. 😢
Have to look at all your work as a “whole”. So as a whole you are doing very well. There will always be scams and bad luck and mistakes but they are a part of “success”. Just try to distance yourself when things are well and when things don’t work out. Kind of keep it calm and try to enjoy it all.
You should have taken the complete clutch assembly off before you tried to split the case. AND you should have put something under where you were working anyway. That way, if something was to fall off,and hit the ground, you would have protection from the concrete floor. Your own fault for that.
I would only unplug it to reset it. For when you get the engine rebuilt again to break it in. Then fine tune it in with that aftermarket computer and brain kit it has on it already. Set-up for racing feature's and original riding modes settings to built in.
The patience of Job, all that needs to be said!
Agree. Would like to see more ATC builds. Great content though. Powers me through work.👍👍

Good job Joe on the way you handled that bad guy😊
I feel so bad 4 you on this 1 it's been nothing but problems from start can't wait to see it rip 17:25
Joe for all the useful information you put out for free, the guy should have gave you the parts! I know personally you have saved me a ton of cash, and prevented me from doing stupid s*it that could have been a disaster. A million thumbs up from Cut Bank, Montana!😊
A rubber mat on the floor where you are working may save dropped parts. Common problem with a hard floor.
