Haters are going to love this video I'm sure 😂 I know you guys were looking forward to seeing the R run at the dunes and I feel like a let down. Parts are on the way and I will be torture testing the R soon after to make sure it doesn't overheat again. Next trip is to Little Sahara! Thanks for watching my video and I love all you guys... even the haters.

I ran my Yamaha blaster completely out of gas on a full pull one time, I forgot to open the gas up, the engine was a little locked up to, I just pushed a little harder until it gave and the quad still ran super strong after that.

Seeing them ride on the road with paddles on kind of gave me anxiety 😂

Won't hurt then too much unless you're being a dingus and trying to shred them. Justin's sand stars are tanks and could damn near survive a rip in the woods.

Thanks for the featuring my 250r man glad to see it out there. And shit happens on the dunes it’s just the name of the game. Btw my 250r was the red one with the bills pipe. 🤙🏼

10:30 the guy on the right has a snowmobile 😂

You should deff do more riding videos like this.

Silver lake is such a amazing place. Fun for the whole family. Glad you made it in and out safely. It gets crazy out there bro. Can’t wait to see all the BANSHEES!! ALL MY BANSHEE RIDERS MIX GAS AND HAUL ASS!

I was born in Whittemore Michigan and spent the summers riding the dunes as a youngster. I remember every summer there’d be a new house swallowed by the dunes. The sand moves around so much it’s insane. Great post! Hope y’all have been back in the past 2 yrs! Enjoyed it! Thanx for sharing. Brings back a lot of great memories 💯🤙🏼🤟🏼🤘🏼

Thats why i went 4 stroke. Renegade 1000. Plows my driveway all winter and spanks most stuff at the drag strip..push button start. Had an esr built 363 ..nice bike. But tired of all the crap that goes with it. Now i roll up to a gas pump and fill it up lol. I love it.

Michael Sabo, Do you think it could be from the radiator guard you put on. It may have blocked to much air flow. The jetting didnt seem that far off, even when the temps where at 250, the engine didnt seem to hang due to being lean. My money is on to restrictive air flow to the radiator.

Nice to see a NACS racing bike still floating around proudly. NACS used to be big on the racing scene, cover shots and featured rides in dirt wheels magazine, and their shop was in my home town. Used to ride my bicycle about 5 1/2 miles to the shop and ride home with blaster parts and maintenance items hanging off my handles bars or stuffed into a backpack.

I was the guy that rode the Honda 450R with factory HRC kit. I didn't win all the races with my buddies but I never towed mine. Custom bikes are sick. When they work

Man last October the exact same thing happened to my 310r at silver lake. I know how it feels. I had it jetted too lean. You have to fatten up the main in the dunes.

No worries Mike, the Quad looks and sound awesome! This has happened to me many times on my "R". In my experience with dune riding and MX racing with a high compression rebuild motor, I give it a longer breakin time and all my motors were built by Arlen. Looking forward to your next video, hang in there Mike!

Same thing happened to my quadzilla 2 weeks ago, lost compression and found the Wiseco piston shrunk in the bore. Piston to wall clearance was double the spec. Ordered a new wossner piston and am gonna go another size up. Shit happens, if you’re not breaking it you’re not riding hard enough.

Oh man, after all that work, I feel bad for you dude. Still really enjoyed watching the build no matter what. Hopefully you get it figured out soon, its a great looking atv.

I always wanted to go here but it’s on the other side of the country for me! It’s at least a 1000 miles to the nearest sand of any kind! I’m in the middle of Appalachia coal country we have hills and mud galore but no sand! But I have rode in about every other environment but never sand dunes! Hence the reason I always wanted to go here!

Good sh$% man hope you enjoyed the dunes, props for staying positive. Always sucks to break down and even more so when you put your heart and soul into a project. We know you'll get that thing up and running again in no time tho!

I love seeing the Nac's Racing decals! I used to live just down the street from Nac's in Saugerties NY

Was just there this past July took a 85 yamaha triz and first 20 min locked up the engine. So I know ure feeling on it is what it is... incredible place we're going again next yr!

Had a similar experience with my cr125. Just rebuilt did heat cycles and ride a little bit when down a dirt road for a bit and than locked up 3 days after I rebuilt top end and had bike down to frame. And cleaned everything and put back together. Was so mad about that due to it being only 3 days ahah but yeah can’t wait to see the trx back up and Rippen!

Great video and Awesome build. Shit happens, I just can't wait for the breakdown and resurrection on the 309r. Keep up the awesome content !!!

Aww man I am sooo jealous!! That’s my fav place to go and this was the first year in a long time didn’t go cause of all the corona bs. Looks busier than ever though. You gotta take the Banshee up test hill while u are there.

Couldn’t wait for this vid🤘

Glad you had a great time at silver lake. I live in muskegon and been there a lot. Great times there. Was sorry see it blow up but my brother blew up his cr250 up there years ago but like you said things happen. Hope you can make it back up again sometime.

(Had the yellow plastic/blue frame laeger there) Hopefully you aren't reading much into these comments because the false info is overflowing.. considering 80% of the machines there were on a keihn carb I can assure you switching to a lectron wouldn't necessarily save it. A poorly setup lectron is just as bad.. I watched it first hand.

Been waiting for this viddd

Really enjoy ur videos bro, haters will always hate, thier just jealous, thanks again for taking the time to make the videos,

I was there that weekend. Great video and sorry for your problem with the motor.

I was just watching this video and recognized all your quads then looked at the date and realized I was there that weekend. I spotted my white jeep to the right at 9:55 lol I was drag racing with some of you guys on my 450 as well. Your quads are bad ass I couldn't keep up lol

I feel the pain. I went out to California a few years back and I could never get my R jetted correctly out there. I could only pull 2nd and 3rd sometimes on straight aways. Was hitting 200+ degrees a few times as well. Just had to basically watch everyone else have fun lol.

really damage and I hope it was nothing serious, but what a great place, great video as you usually do. can't wait to see part 2

Luv it 🤘🤙

Props to keeping your spirit i'll probably cry if my bike locks up like that after a rebuild :D

Sucks the 250r burnt up the top. Hope to see videos soon of it getting fixed and going again. Keep doing what you do. Love watching.

Mike I love your TRX 250R... I always wanted one, but the closest I ever came to owning one was a 1986 ATC 250R. Sorry to hear about what happened with your bike on the first day. Hopefully DBC Racing and Yourself can take a look at the top end and get it fixed really easy... Have fun at the Dunes Bro...

If you haven’t blown up a two stroke you haven’t rode much. I have a collection of pistons lol.

Dude, so sorry that happened to you. You built an amazing machine. Major bummer. At least you still have the awesome Banshee!

Silver lake ALWAYS makes sure you remember you’re first visit there 😄😆

Take the time and come to Glamis....its crazier than anyone could describe! HUUUUUGE hills! You could ride all day and never need to cross anywhere you've already been...seriously!

It was nice meeting you Mike, you’re definitely a super cool dude. Sucks that your R was out of commission I was looking forward to running you at the drags and hitting the hills with ya dude. You’ll have to get the R back right again and come back and get the full effect of the dunes.

I feel your pain. Been there, done that. I know guys like to ride in the sand, but man that shit robs power. I’ll stick to the hard, packed terrain. Good luck Sabo. Get back on that horse. 😊

Dude finally a banshee video! 😎

Sweet build man. Been watching for a little bit. Well dude, if it makes you feel any better, I only got 14 hrs on a completely refreshed 2001 Raptor 660R after a 3 months of building and crashed it last week - breaking my collarbone into two pieces. 6-12 weeks healing time....like you said in the video “it is what it is” no sense being upset it’s part of the sport.

Sorry this happened to u Michael I still believe this is one of the best builds I've ever seen and hope to see an amazing come back keep up the good work

Nice 🎉🎉😊

That’s a nice quad

Dude, just my opinion but i like the setup on smartcarbs because you can shut the bike down, put the throttle wide open and turn the dial on top to adjust by clicks, right for rich, left for lean! Also they come with a TPS as an option for applicable stuff!

Dude I feel the same way with my 350x as you do with your 250r. I took my 350x in to get the top end rebuilt. A week after I got it she dropped a valve 🤣. After I rebuilt that, the new project is gonna be a fresh transmission as of about a month ago.

Keep your chin up Mike. If anybody riding 250r's says they have never blown up a motor they are not taking them out of the garage. I've blown up more than I'd like to admit. When in the sand its a lot of load and heat on the motor. Got to keep it on the rich side. Pistons are cheap so learning isn't to expensive. 😉

That's a shame but it still looks like you had a good time. What a strange coincidence that you were talking about lectron carbs and how the don't have jets right before the carb problems began. Great video Mike, glad to see you tell it like it is.

And nice video 👌🏼👍🏼

Just a tip. Air down some on the banshee and you definitely need to gear it down a couple teeth. Having to much air in the tires will Make spin like he's doing.

Lean is mean, till it spills its cookies... No doubt you'll get it figured out. Trial and error, and a little bit of money. It happens, been there. Only good part about it is we get to see more 250r videos.👍

It's amazing how much power sand takes away from the motor ,just to get going u prolly use twice the gas. U notice when u let off the throttle and don't roll but stop lol. I've never been to real dunes like that. Sucks about the 250 but at least u had other machines and wasn't a total loss. Thanks for the video brother. You did a superb job with the quad though.

Had this happen to my Rm125 I was putting around too long and built up carbon ontop the piston and it broke loose and got stuck in the cylinder locking it up. I kicked it really hard and it broke loose and started. I took it apart cleaned it and never had problem again.
