[@jb1..]

Cant wait for this series, thanks man, gonna be fun to watch!! I love budget builds, they are just more relatable...!!

[@garagemcmatt]

I'm trying to cover everyone's interests it just takes time to get all the bikes and videos filmed

[@RBG_Garage-98]

Bro hyped for the cheap quad series, with a title definitely an 1k bike, I bought a yamaha blaster for 1k a couple months ago got it modded out, still stock bore, right now I have about 3200 in it worth every penny! Michael sabo actually inspired me to do it. love seeing yall make vids together, love the real content keeping it genuine!

[@garagemcmatt]

Sounds good bro. I'm looking forward to the next time Sabo comes out to ride with me. Always a great time

[@paulbudford]

That's some work to get out the swing arm bolt. But you did it. 👍 The 400 doesn't look it too bad a shape. Just very neglected. This sounds like a great series.

[@garagemcmatt]

Yeah we got it bro, wasn't planning on 2 days to get it but....

[@MichiganQuadTrailsTales]

Great Video! Looks to be A Great Series on Cheap Quads.

[@garagemcmatt]

It should be fun. 2 of the same kind of quads both cheap both different prices and issues

[@evanstreets8830]

Awesome channel bro , I agree mate best quad ever made ☝️ I picked mine up for $2300 Au with good motor but I’ve spent about another $1000 Au fixing her up now she’s pretty much perfect 👍

[@garagemcmatt]

Definitely a great quad if your not going racing all the time. Your in Australia? I'm trying to find connections down there to get my hands on a 2012 yamaha banshee

[@evanstreets8830]

Nah mate I don’t race only trail ride my quad , I do race 2 wheelers tho , yeah mate australia Iam on a island called Tasmania , willing to help mate if I can

Thanks bro there's way more coming

[@fullysurrendered93]

Excited! Worth $1,000 all day

[@garagemcmatt]

I think so too

[@ksboi29]

Hell yah! I snagged a 02 400ex! Runs like crazy. Probably needs new clutch disks and steering bushing.

[@garagemcmatt]

Easy fix bro

[@chadriddle3517]

First video I’ve ever watched of your channel and glad I caught it . I’m in for this series! You gotta try some ( kroil) penetrant on them seized bolts it works wonders ! Someone mentioned in comments your plumber , I can relate I carry a plumbing license.

[@garagemcmatt]

Welcome aboard bro. Yeah plumbing for 23 years or so now

[@chadriddle3517]

@ congrats on that and a cool channel, like yalls style . I love quads and Dirtbikes so I’ll be tuned in from now on ! I’ve been at plumbing/pipefitting/maintenance since 2002 myself .

[@garagemcmatt]

Go through all my old videos. There are hundreds

[@Bendeezul]

Please make this a series on both of them. I love the 400ex stuff.

[@garagemcmatt]

It's going to be a few videos on these 2 quads for sure

Honda Power woooooo! Hey, tell Tim I said what's up!

I will. He will probably see your comment

Not too many ds450's pop up for sale by me

[@hank4716]

Here either, pretty rare also spareparts. I bought parts all over the world for my

[@garagemcmatt]

I bet

[@amateuratvs3716]

When I trail a ride, and that is all I do, I take my Z400, Outlaw 500, and Raptor 700r. Any of those all day long. But my favorite trail quads are the Z400's or the 400 exs.

[@garagemcmatt]

For a beginner or even someone with skills you really can't beat it. I'll always have atleast 1 around in my line up

[@amateuratvs3716]

@garagemcmatt 100% Facts! I buy/sell most I usually get, but these three have stuck around for now. My wife dislikes it as they take up my side of the garage, but o well, lmao. I would like to get my hands on a 2 stroke banshee or 250r, but man when the good deals (less than 4K) are posted, they don't last.

[@garagemcmatt]

@amateuratvs3716 yeah I know all about it. You gotta be ready to get in the truck when you find 1

[@MswSteel]

Back in the day I had a 99, pivot bolt stuck too. Cracked the swingarm on it. Miss that quad. This will be a cool series, It makes me want to find a fixer upper 400ex

[@garagemcmatt]

Great quads bro, I'll always have 1 or 15 of them lol

[@JerrySlover-t2b]

Yeah Tim's bike is worth $1000!!!!

[@garagemcmatt]

All day

[@josephhamilton5185]

That dmc pipe is sickkkkk. Been trying to find the dual exit one for a couple years now

[@garagemcmatt]

I had one of those awhile back

[@josephhamilton5185]

@ hell yeah! Love the 400ex content. Pumped for this series bro! 🤙🏼

[@Billbar15]

Nice.. that's only thing good about buying quads and dirtbikes in the winter there's a ton of people selling them for decent prices here in nj. Wish I could sell my running and riding 03 kfx400 with the title quick in the winter as you can in spring and summer but haven't had any luck I have it up for 2400

[@garagemcmatt]

Yeah bro now is not the time to sell. Kfx400 for some reason don't bring money. I seen a mint one for 2k in the spring and it took 4 months to sell

[@Billbar15]

@garagemcmatt yea idk why their great quads never had an issue with them

[@garagemcmatt]

I think the fact that 3 brands put out the same exact machine other then plastics turns people off to them. Just my opinion

[@Billbar15]

@garagemcmatt yea thats possible

[@blayneerwin9276]

Has a 6500 465 build at the house buys two more riders love that logic brother good pick up though never hurts to have another 400ex around

[@garagemcmatt]

Come on bro you know I have like 17 400ex's now

[@JoePhounders]

For a plumber and a trucker, you boys work out of some tight places. Obviously you don't need room to make cool shit! Keep up the good work homie!

[@garagemcmatt]

Thanks bro, just running out of storage space. Between Tim and myself there's almost 40 machines

What does that mean for aplumber and a trucker??

400ex are great machines. I have a 05 and a 07 for my son🤙🤟

[@garagemcmatt]

Keep them around even when they grow out of them. They will be 250r prices one day on them

[@evanstreets8830]

Hey mate how do you prevent your pivot bolt seizing ?

[@garagemcmatt]

I loosen mine every time I do an air filter cleaning. Anti seize is the way to go or atleast grease it down

[@David-j2h2t]

Air filters are like brakes....you only need them ...when you need them

[@garagemcmatt]

That's how most people think unfortunately

[@reggiexp69]

@@garagemcmatt true... tto be honest befor i had a quad or was actually interested into mechanic stuff but you learn, to clean airfilter, check brakes, tyre pressure. but alot of people when i buy a quad... things are used up till the last straw... like they buy it andd use it and it breaks they sell it... or putting a exhaust and air filter on something but no bigger jet or anything.. or just no air filter.. people see it as toys they use, and dont wanna spend money fixing it.

[@JerrySlover-t2b]

I just recently bought a 2007 400EX. going to be installing 416 kit, 2stage cam, having head ported, timing chain, re-jet carb and replace o-ring seals, missing screws ect, float valve. A couple questions: Steel or Titanium head studs? Should I replace valve springs and valves? Are Kibble valves needed?

[@garagemcmatt]

Not needed but nice to know you did all of it. Studs: either will do

wish trx400ex were cheaper in france, they look sick. they are like 1600€ and not road legal... never seen a road legal one in france. while the clone of trx300ex (adly 300) are under 1000€ road legal. had like 6 of them. love them. not fast but just cool cheap quads i did try a ltz400 of a friend but that is just a different beast :) but the quads buying is zero nobody sell cheap... and nobody buys expensive.. (bikes quad mopeds nothing sells...) i used to try different type of quads buy it cheap clean it fix it resell. but people keep asking covid prices still... they keep offering me 1000€ blasters drum brakes ones with work need to be done while they used too be 600-800€ clean... and they wont lower prices its anoying. i just keep shooting offers at poeple who sell things that are listed for more then 2 months but no luck... all firm on prices... market is pretty stale over here... i used to get like every 6 months a great deal on something been a more then a year nothing pop up... all just over priced or fair prices... not interesting to me. + we now got inspecting for road legal quads/bikes/motorcycles/scooter/mopeds etc just like cars... so that sucks now extra fees when you sell something. kinda ruined it. i still sell without the inspection didnt bring my quads there yet.. not really feeling like going to a 60€ inspection for them to probably say CO2 emission to high or sound...

[@garagemcmatt]

Wow that sounds way different then it is here that blows bro

[@reggiexp69]

@@garagemcmatt yeah im so jealous, i see some youtuber get some good deals... but also see some buy things pretty expensive.. but atleast there is a optioon cheap stuff or faire price. but i noticed that french people tend to think every thing has value... even in computes stuff they be selling old stuff way to expensive cause they paid 500€ for it. yeah 10 years ago... quad, bikes, etc they tend to do the same... it sucks for me who likes to buy cheap stuff fix it and resell. (or try to fix im not capable of rebuilding a full engine but i learn everytime i try) i mean i know how to find cheap stuff go up to some old farmer knock on there door and ask... they probably have shit in the barn... but facebook or our craiglist is just full of expensive shit. its facinating how cheap somethings people get things on youtube. (to me then)

You gotta remember inflation comes into play also.

[@reggiexp69]

@@garagemcmatt for real. i was stupid to not buy a nice ltz400 in 2019 and bought a triton 450 cause it was cheaper... yeah thhat thing kept the same value while ltz went up.. (only had problem with my triton 450 so i kept using my adly 300 good old honda clone.)
