First start video is next 🤘 Thank you so much for watching my video 🤘

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

You rock MS!!!!! TY

[@Itllcometome]

Yo you trying to sell it...🤣🤣🤣

[@glenalas879]

Nice job Sabo!!

[@willysm1505]

nice cliffhanger! hehe, now i'm excited! :P

[@tstrick5390]

I appericate the way your are honoring our Military with this sweet build. 🇺🇸🤘💪

[@dbaKen]

True craftsmanship, you're doing incredible on this thing. It looks so freaking mean , its gunna be a BEAST!

[@Codyrosa]

I feel like i'm more excited to hear yours run than i was with mine lol. Love how you didn't cut any corners. Top notch build Mike!

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you Cody 🤘

[@dnolder]

When you go for the first ride this time put a little more gas and you won’t half to push it home haha 😂

[@MichaelSabo]

about that... 😂😅

[@Dansyoung]

Hahahaha most meticulous build process... and runs out of fuel 😂

[@andrewarsenault4062]

You are the only youtuber that I don't have to keep fast forwarding every 2 seconds, great content dude

[@MichaelSabo]

Wow bro, that's a huge compliment; thank you for the feedback!

[@andyb9994]

People just have to criticize everything, dude the 250R build is bad ass all the way, the air filter is sweet, the pipe is awesome, the ESR tag looks great, everything is sweet I could sit and just look at that R all night if it was in my garage. Also the Craftsmen handy cuts are a awesome tool I've had them for years, they will cut damn near anything. Everything you build is bad ass. 👍

[@ja5435]

Watching this video makes me want to rebuild my old Honda 250R 2 stroke 3 Wheeler. But the only problem I have is I’ve never built anything in my life. Great videos to watch thanks. Beautiful bike

[@leopfeffer2419]

Great design and execution as usual Mike. I’ll try to keep this brief. It saddens me that it is considered “normal” for aftermarket parts not to fit, as you have lamented in so many videos, particularly if they are made for a specific frame. It is no more difficult to make a part that fits than it is to make one that almost fits. These aren’t spacecraft they are outfitting. The tolerances are pretty generous. Maybe if you and other high profile builders complain loud and long to these vendors, they will up their game a little bit. Thanks.

[@rexg5807]

Oh man. I’ve never been so excited to see someone put oil/coolant &gas in anything. That means it’s so close. It looks amazing and I wasn’t sure about the ESR plate but once again you did an amazing job. Can’t wait for the next video. Outstanding as always bro.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you as always Rex 🤘

[@big_mike_nyc]

Absolutely amazing and beautiful Mike! FYI, these TRX big bore motors are meant to run the head stay (bolted to the frame) but DO NOT run the bolt through the head. Ask any builder! My TRX 420 has the oem head stay but no bolt through the head...

[@jacobstevens4130]

Easy torque tip from a helicopter mechanic, when using an adapter always keep it at 90 degrees. I’ve seen tons of videos online of people under torquing which is a no go. Awesome video man, doing great work. 👍

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for this tip man! I did not know this.

[@supermeganuke5705]

I have been watching your videos since the begging of the raptor 700 and the trx 250r is definitely the best build so far I really love your videos keep up the good work 👍

[@brayton6683]

I love these quad build videos there ain't much videos like this on on KZbin ...

[@jonjonbailey502]

One thing I've learned over the years of building quads, all the chunks of hose you cut and trimmed, keep. I've had to use minor pieces on my nerf bars to stop fender rub and on my a arms from.the brake lines rubbing. Small details.

[@timothyhemphill4410]

Build is coming along nicely. If 100 other subscribers haven’t told you already, I think the rear reservoir needs to be moved to the other side of the frame. If you decide to start tweaking the knobs on your reservoir, your going to be reaching in a tight place between a hot exhaust pipe and your fenders. I have mine on the left side frame rail (running vertically) directly behind the radiator. It will be more accessible and not gonna be catching near as much heat as the place you have it.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thats a great call man; I am moving it but the only reason I had it there is because it fits there so well; the line doesn't want to bent the other way.

[@timothyhemphill4410]

Michael Sabo 10/4, I have the legacy + series shocks, older design, it’s strange it’s giving you an issue with the newer style. Hope you get it figured out.

[@kellycampbell7801]

I am very glad you do these videos I see lotta videos from other people and I got to tell you you were one of the best ones that I watch and learn from appreciate keep up the good work

[@HG_-eh8wp]

Awesome video man. Been loving this build series. Amazing quality and craftsmanship🤘

[@robertgibbs6354]

I’m not even into quads and I’m hooked! Sweet build, keep it up.

[@sammyd3759]

Excellent job Michael, it is going to be fast and should handle like it's on rails. I really like your color scheme/combination choices, gives it that mean military fighting look. Back in the mid to late 80's I had and rode several Suzuki 500 Ouads but I would venture to say that your quad is going to have a top end that will be scary fast like the quadzilla was. Keep up the great & creative work with your resto-mod quad project!

[@randyrowe3097]

I was on the fence originally about the colors. OMG, how I love it. It looks one of a kind and just beautiful. I hope it runs as great as it looks. Powder coating can give a little problems during reassembly. If you ever want to sell it, let me know. You have encouraged me to just build one. I had an 87 and 88 mostly stock.

[@breakwood8531]

You do not fawk around. What a beauty man. I love this build and your work. Btw i had bad luck with bosch plugs. Kept blowing them idk why, so i went back to ngk.

[@Roadhouseee]

The only thing I would have done differently so far is notch the gussets instead of the nerf bar mount, and also I would have used 200-3000 grit sequence on the gas tank to make it look newer. But I love the build man been watching since the beginning!

[@guskelman3058]

I was in a shitty mood from being sunburned and getting heat stroke but I'm feeling much better after watching this

[@rickyball78]

Who are the haters with the thumbs down? How could you not like this channel and content... Keep doing what you do

[@MichaelSabo]

Idk man; can't win em all I guess. Thank you for the support bro!

[@michaelwinans6351]

Great now I got to go rip my tag off and polish it because that just looks too good. I love my ESR trx7R pipe. My old Sparks pipe finally broke. Gave that won a try and am very happy.

[@MichaelSabo]

Haha, nice man; easy enough to polish up!

[@timmoore1609]

This looks killer ! Can't wait to hear it run. And of course the 1st ride.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you Tim Moore!

[@marshallnaville1079]

Most underrated channel ever

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you so much for saying this bro 🙏🤘

[@MxHDXB]

I really appreciate the Fox Shocks.

[@MichaelSabo]

I'm glad you like em man!

[@plumberhero]

Idk man there's nothing like a fat chrome expansion chamber on a two stroke imho. Those smoke fuel lines and the gold vent lines look awesome. Its tricky getting that area to look good you nailed the details 👌.

[@tristenkiesow4061]

This build is so nice. This makes me wanna look for one of these beast. Long lived the 250r

[@jimd.k110leaded7]

Thank you for the help mike, I got the exhaust installed. Sound great

[@undergroundmoto8287]

Haha love the ending! Cant wait for the next installment of project 250r

[@MichaelSabo]

UndergroundGains thank you for watching! 🤘

[@700rRaptorLife]

Awesome build man great content I just don’t understand how u don’t have over 100k subs with the great info and content and amazing builds u put out

[@MichaelSabo]

I appreciate that so much man; thank you 🤘

[@700rRaptorLife]

Michael Sabo Anytime bruh you deserve it 🔥🔥🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@dalerufener62]

Thanks for the blue balls once again Mr sabo.lol.love this channel.great content.awsome builds.always waiting impatiently for the next video.you rock man

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for the love Dale! I will have a first start video up ASAP!

[@evaneyeball7953]

hey i know you have had 2 strokes before and i just want to see if you know but when it is warm and you go to start it right as you kick blip the throttle. starts first kick every time. learned that this week at winchester bay. also learned the easiest way to bend a rim in half (didn't learn them at the same time) i cant wait to hear that thing scream just be careful i rode mine for the second time after a rebuild and it caught my leg and im fairly sure fractured my calf but i dont want to see you get hurt or anyone for that matter.

[@MichaelSabo]

I had to do the motion after reading this; I have a natural tendency to do the blip lol. Sorry to hear about your leg bro; hopefully that doesn't happen to me.

[@g20sunny]

Sick build Michael. I am currently doing the same with my 2001 Kx250.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for watching man and good luck with your KX 🤘

[@andrewstahl6916]

Man... Honda and Yamaha need to bring back the 2 stroke quads... Great video btw, the whole quad is coming together now!

[@ServJesus7]

Those radiator scoops are really awesome! Ill bet they sends air in reslly well

[@jades323]

On the insta post I wasn’t feeling the esr logo polished but now seeing it in the vid it looks 100x better

[@MichaelSabo]

I do feel like in the post you couldn't really get the perspective

[@gavinbarham542]

A small amount of dielectric grease should keep your frame where you remove the powder coat from rusting and preserve the conductivity for your ground.

[@917Jolly]

This thing is sick man. The color combo is perfect! 👌👌🇺🇸

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you bro!

[@المحيربي-س5ق]

bro i swear i cant believe you left us on that epic cliffhanger haha i will sure tune in on the next vid!!!

[@MichaelSabo]

Haha, I'm sorry man

[@nttk-4929]

that thing belongs to the museum

[@yfzracer62]

Bad call to redrill holes in a brand new pipe 😅

[@mikehaddox512]

Lots of good info and looks like some great stuff! Keep up the good work Michael!

[@Rags4224]

You should add rubber between the nerf bar mounts to prevent damage 🙏

[@ryanbisi3830]

That front end looks mean with the scoops and shocks and flag... gunna be insane once it’s done

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you bro! 🤘

[@ryanbrimer1039]

On the exhaust I like that you relocated the emblem but I liked the color on the emblem

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for the feedback bush's baked beans, I appreciated you watching my video!

[@Stubbz33]

I appreciate how ocd you are on the wiring and hoses lol looks clean man!!

[@catlincarrell165]

That's one sick R. Excellent job Sir.

[@WASTED_INCOME]

Definitely good choice

[@phatboytrx7773]

I got a 96 Honda 300 ex I'm gonna ride it all summer our till it blower the top end then I'm doin a full frame off rebuild and I hope it's half as cool and mean looking as this bike bro u do dam good work

[@nicky_9791]

That's the meanest build I've ever seen great job

[@abbybonilla4511]

HOLY SHIT SAND COLORED NERF BAR NETS TOO?! I'm happy I stumbled upon your channel, gave me some ideas for my future Raptor or 450R

[@MichaelSabo]

Haha; thank you bro; I love the way they came out!

[@abbybonilla4511]

@@MichaelSabo Rewatching this series out of boredom and another question: Is that VP factory 2 stroke gas?

[@kjohns236]

Bad ass! Idea for your build. back lighting the Flag with some LED lights would be SWEET!

[@jesseemerson]

I Wish you would show more on the ignition install and set up. Maybe even make a video on it.

[@KruznwithKMAN]

Got me with the start 🙄 my shirt came in btw. Took about 3 months but it was a pleasant surprise!

[@MichaelSabo]

Omg dude... well at least it came; that's ridiculous though.

I will say that pipe LOOKS dope AF!

It's coming out badass! I was looking at the time left and watching you kick it over hoping it would fire up before video ended lol

Way better look with the pipe tag! This thing is going to rip!

Thx alote mike I had to make the engine noise in my head after that last kick lol.

Not gonna lie kinda jealous man this thing is so narly man I would absolutely love to rip this thing one time what a great video cant wait to see it finish keep up the good work 👏

[@jeremystelly6078]

Where u said the frame looked like it has eyes it kinda looks like THE PUNISHER SKULL. That WOULD be cool to fabricate something like that but it will be covered with plastic anyway. But it definitely looks MILITARY.

[@perasbjrnreistad9344]

That ending just made half of your viewers pissed😂

[@MichaelSabo]

I know, I know lol

[@matthewhalsall8120]

When he drillled intro the pipe that just made me feel bad for the pipe

[@bmxpro273]

My dad doesn’t use a top motor mount been working fine so far 👍

[@bmxpro273]

Ask around about that top motor mount most people don’t run them to much tension on the head

[@PreferredDiesel]

Hey Michael. This quad is going to be amazing. I noticed you had a Keihin carb on there, I live right down the road from them and sometimes ride my 400ex down around there. 🤘🏻👍

[@Cartduckmann]

bro those nerf bars set that thing off for real

[@jeffchambers1147]

For the nerf bars you usually have to pry it and make it fit ive put a set on a carb yfz and a set of a efi yfz450r and it was a challenge but it works. Rate racing though not factory 43

[@MichaelSabo]

Rath does make nice bars; thanks for the feedback!

[@tomw8520]

The 86-87 have a different tank thread, so you will need a different cap.

[@MichaelSabo]

That's the one I ordered; must have been a mistake!

So cool great call with the exhaust that bike is gonna be MEANNNNN

New favorite show

[@MichaelSabo]

You are the man Kyle; thank you

[@nevillegoddard4966]

Love your videos Mike even though I wouldn't even know how to ride a quadbike. Just so entertaining mate thanks. The ESR nameplate on your exhaust looks real good. What's a led pipe? Is that a brand? I like how you got around the exhaust mount alignment problems; those adapter brackets look like they're supposed to be there, well done. That in-line temp gauge is a great idea. Only one negative point - did I see you use a rounded u-bolt around the square-sectioned frame to hold the nerf bars on? That seemed a bit bodgey from a guy like you mate? Couldn't you have used one of those nice machined MPM brackets you've used elsewhere on the bike?

[@EuroTrashTV.]

That thing looks mean!

[@stephengalvan7722]

Great work💪🏻 what a build

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

Michael we are so different you and I some examples I'm scrounging the earth for stock parts to me a 250 r motor is heavy and of course the horrible taste you have in hoods 😉. But that thing is bad ass. I think that am going go to outside of my all stock stuff and im going invest in one of those case savers. Nice work. Dude you have to organize a 250r meet up and ride. Longlivethefourtrax250r

[@vettepicking]

I trim bolt heads in the lathe if i need more room , sides or both top and bottom of the head.

[@dirtsquadatv2714]

Run that coolant resivour hose over your exhaust. If she overheats you'll know it for sure.

A true leak down test on a 2 stroke is a vacuum test as well as a pressure test

[@justinvanaswegen8641]

That motor probably heavy af, it is just the fact that you got way stronger since the banshee build

[@vassiliiero1921]
