Building a custom KTM 350XCF from Scratch after being blown up - Legend KTM Finale

[@MichaelSabo]

This is it guys! The KTM is done (basically) What do you think of the outcome!? Thank you so much for watching my KTM series! If you enjoyed it, please consider hitting the like button and consider subscribing. You all ROOOOCCCKK!!! 🤘😎

[@JenShawn07]

I really like the build but do you think the zirconium colored rear sprocket would look good with the plastics?

[@zoomert1204]

This bike turned out amazing. Imo one of the best looking bikes you have built. Can't wait to see it all tuned up and ripping.

[@MichaelSabo]

​@zoomert1204 thank you dude; glad you like it!

[@stephenblackstock1923]

​@MichaelSabo you've done amazing on this one. Never thought I'd see a KTM that I'd be willing to ride until now. Also you can remove the quiet core pretty easily. Dirtbike tv has a video on it on KZbin. Also please remove that cheezy chain guard on the swingarm.

[@MichaelSabo]

@@stephenblackstock1923 thanks for the info on the pipe and dude... I was really torn on putting that guard on lol

Who’s been waiting for three months???

[@donavinmoller2432]

Meeeee

[@ErcamoTV]

Meeeeeeeeeee🎉

[@MitchFlynnMatt]

Moment I saw this video I was hyped up

[@MichaelSabo]

You're awesome; thank you

[@donavinmoller2432]

@MichaelSabo no problem your contents fun sp ofc I'll watch

[@jordanE1451]

The spark arrestor is held in with a spiral clip. Get a pick under the edge of the clip and roll it out. It's really easy.

[@MichaelSabo]

I appreciate that man! Thank you

[@MikeKochjr]

Mike Sabo posted a full build!!!! Best day of the month let’s go!!!!!

[@MichaelSabo]

I appreciate you man 💪👊

[@JacobPotts223]

Yay, Daddy Sabo uploaded a new video! Shame he's not at sand wars.

[@frenchmi]

Mike I am not into dirt bikes or ATV's, but I find myself watching all your videos for hours!!! This KTM build came out amazing and you do unbelievable work. The attention to detail is remarkable!!

[@MichaelSabo]

Thanks so much for saying this; made my night 👊🤘

[@Kaden_2v]

I work at a American muscle restoration shop and specialize in 60s/70s mopars. We restore our cars down to the nut and bolts with correct finishes and stamping like they were off the showroom floor. Awesome to see someone doing that in the field of dirt bikes and atvs. Love how detailed you get down to the plating of the hardware and finishes on parts and pieces. Love the builds man and excellent work. Keep it up.

[@heavyweightoutdoors]

Skid plate, skid plate, SKID PLATE WITH LINKAGE GUARD!!! Bike looks amazing! But you definitely want a skid plate with a rear linkage guard

[@bretwagner818]

Mike, it looks so sick!! Another great job on your build. Incredible outcome. 👍🏻🔥😎

[@MichaelSabo]

Thanks so much for all your help Bret; you most definitely inspired the ICW radiators!

[@stephenrush6794]

Another Mike sabo masterpiece big thumbs up from the UK

[@HapHazard_69]

Badass bike Mike! Looks better than expected.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you dude!

[@Tom-bo2wj]

Been watching since first post the day you pick this bike up. Absolute amazing transformation from a basket case to a thing of beauty. Love the color pop and graphics are spot on.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for watching the whole series, I'm glad you like the turnout 👊

[@dmitryoutdoors8250]

I think this build by FAR tops every other build! Excellent work !! 😮🔥

[@MichaelSabo]

That's a big compliment man, thank you 🤘👊

[@SevieBallesterous]

The quality of you're work is first class and through the inclusion of the 'warts and all' difficulties that you experience along the way serves to humanise the build.

[@T-Lesk]

My guy!!! That came out truly amazing!! You are not just a bike builder but a bike artist! Keep up the amazing content and inspiring people like me to tackle projects like these!!!

[@MichaelSabo]

Awesome compliment man, thank you so much!

[@CouchSlouch-]

Always enjoy the color schemes on these builds.

[@danscotchie5364]

That's one of the sickest bikes I've ever seen. Nice work, Mike! Big fan over here!

[@MichaelSabo]

Big compliment man! Thank you so much 👊

[@jordanE1451]

The yellow knob on the bottom of the throttle body is the cold start. Pushed in means it's on, you can roll the throttle forward and it should release the cold start knob.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for this info man! 👊

[@NovaMudder]

You have literally made a show bike. Beautiful ❤

[@Sunspot-19]

Mike, your Tourett's is showing!! Looking freakin' outstanding, Mr. Sabo... Good stuff.

[@jmarcinko1139]

My favorite build so far! Can’t wait until you get the final tweaks and see it on the trail. I will say I’m a 2t guy but you’ve got a fine machine there.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you man, that's a big compliment

[@carson535]

Your videos are really well produced! I appreciate your detail about all the issues with aftermarket parts. Badass bike it turned out super sharp

[@MichaelSabo]

Thanks Carson; glad you liked it 💪👊

[@OdysseyOffroad]

You have outdone yourself on this one my freind. Absolutely gorgeous!! Im sure you got the little rhings all fixed already. Cant wait to see the first ride on it!

[@davidsaunders4450]

Sweeeeet job, Mike

[@ChanseMartin222]

Man the whole bike is perfect! But I absolutely love the look of the swing arm along with the back wheel! And that frame! Killed it bro!

[@RC-fu6hg]

Wow that bike really pops!! Love your graphic design 👍 😎

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you!

[@Tomshuski350]

The spark arestor in the fmf comes out super easy just with 1 ser-clip in the end of the exhaust

[@julien5347]

Another amazing build Michael , you have motivated and inspired me so much to start my own project and I’m building a trx250r from scratch

[@JacksonOffroad25]

The color combo is mint! Probably one of my favorite builds you’ve done so far

[@IFIXATVS]

Glad to see you are blurring the street signs now! Haha I see everything. Loved watching this beautiful bike come together and I can’t wait for the first real ride

[@tsar-bomba2413]

You know it’s a good day when Mike uploads

[@chaseritenour7726]

Looking good!! Btw the fmf has a snap ring in the cap. Take that out grap the center with 2 duck bills and the spark arrester will come right out. It will let her breath 👌🤙🤙

Outstanding build Mike!

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you!

[@dirtriderz6881]

Wooo Hooo!! Awesome job as always. Excellent work on the rebuild and video! I’m not sure if it was mentioned or not but make sure you double check the throttle position sensor (TPS) voltage as that is hyper sensitive and can cause starting/idling jitters!

[@thatcrazyguyjay]

Always love your builds and the work you put in to restoring the bikes or atvs I’ve not long finished up fully restoring my 2001 cr 250. Next on my list is my Ktm 300. Love the videos bro. Top work and that’s a awesome loooking ktm bud

[@theexisting1514]

lets go! excited to see this thing in action

[@MichaelSabo]

👊💪

[@Trxpz_Austin]

Yesssss

[@allankorte3753]

That special lock washer is called a Nord-Lock. They work amazingly well. I use them on heavy equipment. I think they require about 20% more torque to remove as what was put on them. Many people install them wrong when reusing. the course tabs of each washer should mate up. The finer side, with more serrations hit the bottom of the bolt head as well as whatever your bolting against.

[@jordanpanich]

Looks so rad!!!

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you Jordan 🤘👊

Great bike build! Love my ktm 500 supermoto. Tip: Water likes to hideout in the fuel tank bolt hole after washing. Throw some grease or anti seize in there.

It is incredible!!!!!

I could never deal with a bike that has that much technology in it, i would never be able to diagnose it. your a smart man mike. love the build, think ill stick to carburetors lol

[@ianreed4636]

Love that florescent yellow!

[@Mcfc2Rich]

Im in love with that colourway 🍋‍🟩💚

[@racequad9]

The bike came out great!! Seriously, it looks awesome! Just a tip when breaking in an engine, let the engine bring itself down in speed - so don't clutch in. The load will help set the piston rings.

[@ryanboening]

Beautiful bike! Nicely done! You can always use a T hose replacement that is aftermarket, its one piece. Common problem with the 23+ with the T hose leaking. You can delete the thermostat, and replace the plastic T hose all in one go. I used MotoHose, really nice stuff. Maybe it will help some of you guys! Also, the front fork height based on the milled lines can be adjusted as rider prefers. It can help get more weight to the front and give a shorter wheel base. It helps a lot if you struggle a little with turning. You can also tighten the steering stem bolt to make your steering a little more stiff, I find it helps a lot with arm pump and headshake.

[@lennoxedgar9847]

outstanding work looks amazing

Beautiful build my man

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you man!

[@MagmaTrevor]

Mike I absolutely love your videos man, your attention to detail is off the charts. Have you considered doing a separate video per build of refinishing? I know you take most parts off to get blasted but would be cool to see some AWESOME degreaser in action😂👍🏼

Hey Michael have you ever thought of doing an asmr build video? Your videos where youre putting stuff together with just the sounds of parts sounds so relaxing, like maybe a maintenence video like Revzilla does asmr style? Love your videos

Awesome clean job. Also that pipe does have a quit core in it. To take it out there is a ring around it after u take the ring out take 2 needle nose pliers on the inner circle of the pipe and it will pull right out.

[@coarsegoldkid]

I do like the final outcome.

[@xclife211]

Seeing that powder coat chip with that swing arm bolt. Almost gave me an aneurism 😂 and Scott powers ports is awesome that's where I got my yz250fx from the last 24 they had awesome service and I was in and out in 30 minutes

[@stefanpersson216]

Very nice build ,now you also get orange blood (KTM) in you😁 I ride a 2017 Exc-F my self. Cool that you use parts from Sweden, where i live , Onegripper is from Sweden and wery good stuff. Look forward to more Ktm on your channel!😊👍

Really the whole build is pretty badd asss !

[@coastalenduro]

Turned out great! I see you didn’t install the skid plate. I really recommend going with one that has linkage protection.

[@MichaelSabo]

Yes! It will go on. I forgot to mention in the video, I usually don't install the skid until after some run time so I can check for leaks.

[@gigasipke]

That looks amazing, I don't think I could even ride it and would want to keep it pristine.
