yo i was watching your vids and the way you restore quads is awesome. i have a banshee which ripped when i bought but some dudes fu*ked it up when it was sitting outside and after repairing the banshee it isnt quite the same as it was. doesnt rip the same as it did before do you know what might be the problem. also the pistons fucked up

One of the only creators that keeps me watching all the way through every single video. Really appreciate the effort you put in to these. Ride on man👊🏻

These builds are so satisfying to watch, seeing them go from dead too becoming fully functional machines again. Awesome work keep it up Sabo!

Use heli-coils for fixing threads. They will hold stronger than the aluminum they are embedded in. If it's good enough for aerospace it's definitely good enough for a quad.

These videos are like therapy. I love watching this stuff. I'm extra interested in this one because I have a 660R.

No rebuild is complete without swearing! Great job explaining everything highly informative and entertaining :)

Mike man this is your effin year. I’ve been watching for a long time and the effort you’ve taken to make quality videos and quality work shows. The attention to detail is comparable to the best out there. Your channels exploding this year and with good reason!

One of my fav ways to spend an hour is watching you restore something from a pile of nothing. So satisfying. I never realised how clock like and cog heavy engine internals are. Theyre beautiful. little metal cranky clocks - so pretty. Ive always been on the edge of mechanic stuff, most racers are quasi engineers, but, its the depth of detail I dig on these vids. makes me feel like i missed 'the art' of mechanic work, you speak that language.

That color scheme is the shiznit! What a sick build!

@MichaelSabo

Hahaha what a great word, "shiznit." Thank you for the love brother!

Think you should paint the radiator cover satin black! The off coloured white is going to throw the whole thing off, also think the nets would look better in black too 👍🏼

Worked at a metal office furniture factory and they powdercoated everything The most durable color we had was 668 textured black. It looked great aand was super hard to scratch vs any of our smooth colors.

I own one too and rebuild it completely about last year and drove 7000 miles on it. The only problem so far has been the stator, the clutch and the big nut, thats on the clutch side of the crank. These engines are so great and I love to ride it every time.

Man that frame was long gone, unbelievable that you were able to save it! Cant wait to see the next video. Love the colours so far!

Michael, I don’t know shit about quads. You made me buy a 2002 Yamaha Raptor 660r. Hopefully I have some success in finding parts and making it look awesome. I will keep looking out for more of your videos. Keep up that awesome content coming. Enjoyed watching your builds.

I thought it was a 660 with 700 plastics, but in reality you only changed the headlights, what a monster it looks, nice project

Always enjoy watching you save quads and bikes so they don’t end up rotting away or in a junkyard 👍🏻

I just started watching this channel. I like how you do a great job of describing how to do things. Then also your sense of humor with the used parts.

Use antiseize compond on the aluminum swing arm to help prevent corrosion.

I can't believe your selling that seat cover for only 200.... I woulda gave ya 1000 in a heart beat! In that good shape!!

Another great video, Mike. Your quad and bike work are top notch. I have to say you have inspired me to get back into reviving some of these older machines myself. And no need to apologize for getting angry at the end. I actually played it over a couple of times laughing my ass off because we all have been there.😂

Thank you man. Lol, I'm glad you said that because sometimes I'm not sure if I should include the rage parts but I feel like everyone can relate to that.

ESP when working with frames and stress points your always going to be better to run single line stringer beads with a mig than weave. Little easier to avoid some the undercut you have run hot enough they will lay in nice and clean looking but for not being a welder and in your garage you fixed it the right way so I give props where deserved. Keep up the great content.

I think the grill looked better gray--it offered more contrast and matched the frame. Anyway, the 660 is a great machine. I've done a lot of mods to mine.

I look forward to these videos all week! Love the content! Great person behind it as well!

New sub here. Can’t tell you how refreshing it is to see things done right! Do like Mike says and buy the service manual people! The swearing at the end had me dying. I’m always telling my wife that swearing at inanimate objects is part of being a man. She doesn’t believe it helps, but the video doesn’t lie. That bearing cap straightened up real quick after it got a talking to.

A recent and obvious huge honor for Pete to be part of Yamaha's legacy of sport quads. Mike I think you really should send some of your color renderings to the Yamaha marketing, they are always great looking and stunning to see done. Most of the color combos not many folks would think of that really work on the end product. Grape Ape and Voodoo Banshee are a wild color scheme and fortune favors the bold, as the late '60-'70s Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth have shown. Keep up the great job on quality of fit/finish and video content. Pops

Have you ever tried plastic welding before? A lot of abs plastic can be welded and be strong as the original plastic. I did it during the late 80's fixing cracks and breaks on sport bike plastic. I don't know if this is a lost art, but it sure save money for my friends and myself.

Amazing man, love your work! You have so much patience for completely rebuilding a bike that's so far gone and turning it into a dream machine.

My man whippin out the harbor freight tools 😂 what a guy.

Ive been really busy lately with work and getting my machines ready for the season, tons of issues. Your vids always give motivation man thank you!

Always love to see your craftsmanship and passion. Actually motivated me to go build something I thought of doing a while back.

Another great one Mike! The effort you put into your builds AND videos is outstanding! I've probably mentioned this before but I'm a 2 wheel guy and yet here I am watching you build quads. ROCK ON 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

awh Mike I would have left that face plate that black or dark gray. I think it looked better that way. but good job can't wait to see her put back to gether and running. I'm doing the same thing to my 00 400ex. should have her all put back to gether and running this weekend.

Thats a great deal on the old seat cover 😁🤣...nice little touch of humor to the video and also you do some great work my man, its the attention to detail that so many others fail to do sometimes!

Hell yeah man . the content is just really good . so much time goes into these builds .

Just a tip on the torque wrench, when the green light is flashing it means your approaching the torque you set it to and when the light stays green it means you met the torque when it goes red it means you went above the torque. But other than that the build is awesome!!

Very thorough with your work 👍love watching these videos ! Keep up the awesome work🤘🤘

Awesome video, the detailed instructions are top notch and incredibly helpful while working on my own 660 project. Thanks for the video!

The 660 looks really bad ass with the Yamaha R1 headlights mounted on them

Getting freshly powder coated parts is always the best part of any build

What are you, his cheerleader? 🤣

Those threads need some helicoils so you have good securement. Anti seize definitely helps the adjuster bolts. Also when removing bolts that stuck, switch back from reverse to forward, back and forth. It helps break corrosion on the threads so they don't get as torn up.

hey im new to channel ,, but love content got me looking for project raced and rode YEARS ago but i miss my off road days keep up content.. AWESOME

Future video idea! Find a old 400ex with a really badly seized swing arm bolt and make a detailed video on how to remove it because there really isn’t anything out there and that is a pain mine came out in 3 pieces! But keep up the awesome content as always!

Thanks for the video Mike, I’m currently splicing a frame on a YZ250, rotten frame rails, some advice is to support before doing any cutting to keep frame rails straight and aligned, good job on the repair and the weld isn’t terrible either 😀 try and treat the inside of the frame with a lubricant or anti-corrosion spray in the holes to keep moisture at bay. It will slow down/neutralize what rust remains in the frame.

Watching ever add to help out and got my pop corn ready! Watching it on the big screen! Can’t wait to see how it comes out ! Like always grate videos this would make a awesome TV show!

I like your builds, some Builders are building Street quads converting them to turbocharged H1 engines that go to 200 Mi an hour which is ridiculous. Some of them are cool if the suspension custom tuned for Street with a quad engine geared for street riding but get converted with a street bike Engine with an off-road suspension with street tires which doesn't make any sense. If you're going to make a street quad you got to modify the suspension like it's an Indy car

I had a frame do something like that. I washed it and then stored it in a shed for about a year standing up on its grab bar and the watter settled in the frame at that location. It rusted through from the inside of the frame and I bought a whole new frame. Im not much of a fabricator yet and dont know how to weld. I know as I build this 86 250R Ill have to have some people do some things for me, maybe I can find someone to teach me some of that stuff. Good job on the frame repair, it looks like it will hold just fine.

@@MichaelSabo Yup, it doesnt take much moisture to get inside the frame to rot it from the inside out. There is no coating or protection on the inside.
