FINALLY... Project Raptor 700 is COMPLETE!!!

[@malibusbc]

Looks great all white...and the blue accents make it pop!

[@Americanblood76]

I really appreciate how thorough you are. Leave no stone unturned.

[@MichaelSabo]

I really appreciate your comment man; thank you 🤘

[@kdcustoms1272]

i removed the air box lid and re-jetted the carbs on my 660... it gained a good amount of power. you should look into removing the lid on the 700. It don't look as restrictive as the stock 660 snorkel but i bet it is still a decent gain to be had there.

[@Davido50]

This 700R & the KFX 450R are best quads you've built/owned by far!

[@jasonbrody9851]

YEEEESSS!! THAT THING SOUNDS AWSOME

[@shadowspace99]

blue and white's my favorite

[@Bumpertrash1]

Exhaust sounds good.. When is the banshee build?

[@MichaelSabo]

Its next up. I will most likely have a few more video on the Raptor being all done and then I will start up with a break down of the plans for the Banshee 4mil project.

[@axelvlcaxel4733]

Michael Sabo can you explain what the differents are between 4mil build and a 5mil build? And how many of these do you can build? 1-2-3-4-5-6-..... build?

Thank you Dakota A!

[@jakemarek5925]

Thank God there is anti-seize on the swing arm bolt. Very well done sir!

[@limitlesshorsepower4514]

the banshee is gonna be a good little competitor for the raptor

[@nardo2354]

Your new key location will be ok. The key location on my LTR is in the same place, in the open wheel well, it will get muddy,& dirty, but it won’t affect it. Great build man looks great.✅

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for the love and for sharing about your LTR.

[@MidLifeCrisisAdventures]

Using a hair dryer to heat the graphics will help mold and seal them around curves in your plastics. Just a tip.

[@MichaelSabo]

Good tip. I did use a heat gun to mold them, I did not film that though.

[@davidblum_]

Torque wrench for the plastics lol gotta love it

[@jamesknifong7339]

The all white plastics and blue graphics look good

[@vwjd77]

O m g that is an amazing sounding exhaust !! WOWZERS 👍👍👍 And an amazing microphone aswell, really appreciate it

[@johnmccoy4929]

It need a blue and white seat

[@jeremyday2699]

Bro what u have done is mind blowing to think that u pulled the whole bike apart and put it back together is nothing short of amazing ur a machine great video bro.. from tassie..Australia.lol

[@Rodny2001]

That exhaust THOOO!!! it sounds AWESOME! nice vids!! keep it up!

[@MichaelSabo]

Thanks so much man, I love it too!

[@beaud3035]

Nice quad dude! Ive got a raptor 350 and thats where the key is, just on the right side. I know its just a 350 but its been thru hell and back with rivers and mudding and never had an issue with the key position.

[@DawidSlodyczka]

Love the new look on the raptor, can't wait for more projects like this👍

[@Raptor-700R]

Thats where i located my key and she has never given me any problems. Very nice love the way she turned out and yes the raptor 700r has alot of torque i am 240 and the front still lifts up all the time lol

[@MichaelSabo]

Hell yea man! I'm happy to hear someone else is running the key in that location with no problem. And nice, I'm almost there in the 240 club myself 😂

[@anonymous-tn6ij]

Just out of curiosity why wouldn’t you both a graphic stickers off when the plastics for off and then put them in the dishwasher or something instead of doing it while they’re on the bike

[@anonymous-tn6ij]

Why do you dry install your stickers do you like bubbles or something

[@anonymous-tn6ij]

Be sure and post your graphics next week I want to see the edges peeling up

[@trailblogger]

That came out great! Nice work! Now haul that thing over here to the West Coast and we will go hit the trails

[@AquaFreak]

Super sweet! Glad to see you riding it! Congrats man

this helped me out a lot i don't know anyone who works on these motors i have no clue what could be wrong with my motor but something in it is messed up cause my quad won't start anymore

[@passivaggressor]

Looks great! Might be time for a new chain roller. Mine made the same loud noise. I changed it and it is much quieter.

[@robertbobpoirier7529]

Remove the air filter lid and put a pre filter it makes a fair difference in the hp and torq

[@ELViSLOK]

It's looks good sounds good seems to run good. Good job!

[@ICED_SOUL_BEATS]

Sick! Im happy you got it together!

[@MichaelSabo]

Thanks so much man! Haha, a subscriber actually owns this quad now.

[@jl13laze]

Nice build man I have the same rear tires on my yfz 450 and they are not my favorite for trailriding for a cheaper good tire I bought some massfx off of Amazon and they are identical to itp holeshots way better grip on torque bikes

[@MichaelSabo]

I have the MassFX on my Banshee and love them! I wanted to try these Artrax tires so I can compare. Thanks for sharing and for the love!

[@pcostyle11]

That things sounds good as hell !! Its nice to finally see it running! 10K sub is coming soon man keep it up

[@bobbymckinney1264]

Sick ride man!!

[@DerredmaxTRIAX]

Michael I have never ridden a Raptor, How much different is it compared to a Banshee. And if you had to pick one which one would it be? For just all around use in general.

[@MichaelSabo]

They're quite a bit different man; I'm not sure I can describe a Banshee, if you ever get a chance to ride one, I'd take the opportunity. I will say this, a far as geometry and handling go, they're not the best but they're very fun to ride and depending how you mod them, they're super fast. For all around use, I'd say Raptor 700 is probably the way to go unless you're die hard 2 stroke.

[@jiapaguilar2495]

That hmf sound so good. Just like the one i have

[@MichaelSabo]

Hell yea, its freaking loud in person too

[@jiapaguilar2495]

Michael Sabo i know , i have dasa on my dad raptor too loud, but i like hmf sound better

[@AaronMartinCOOLVIDEO]

The color combo looks amazing and nice Choice painting the headlight housing it makes everything flow together really nice and my opinion makes the bike look less cluttered.😎👍

[@fatymaty21]

Just binge watched the whole raptor project. Awesome job with the videos man. Hope my 660 doesn't put me through the same agony!! you've got a new sub. Keep the awesome videos coming!

[@beaud3035]

Oh and ive got the HMF exhaust like yours and it sounds bad ass!

[@brianj123458]

So what you like better the Raptor or the banshee?? I've rode them both and me myself like the banshee I think it's the power band lol

Need to get some Yamaha warning label replacements off EBay !!

Which do you like better? The banshee or the raptor

Should do a bike build like a Yamaha yz 125 or something

man i love this.... this was awsome!!!

[@cagednstatic]

Should i keep my 06 rap 700r? Im a noob to quads just got it on a trade. Nerf bars same brand as yours. Power com 3 yoshi slip on carbon wheels new tires. Got it on a trade also what do u guys recommend with the stock suspension. It feels kinda tippy-ish. No i dont want to widen it. Im assuming thats all i can do tho

[@microtechmachineshop]

Makes me want to buy another i had a kfx 700

[@matthockey84]

Where did you get those plastics from? I’m looking for some for my yfz450 2004.

Originals man; I painted the hood, tank cover and light housings

Great to see her going in the end mate! Nice job!! Looking forwards to some riding videos on it. Have some riding videos on my 2016 Raptor on my channel if you wanted to have a look mate. 👍👌

Awesome Mike 《☆》Looking good & sounds great for a 4 stroke thumper ☻

[@MichaelSabo]

Thanks BDOG!!

[@khonky]

Why didnt you use soapy water like you did with the KX graphic kit?

[@MichaelSabo]

The KX had more contours and I used a cheaper graphics kit. This kit could be placed and then peeled without ruining it before I applied heat.

[@SouthwestORV]

You gotta love how punchy the 700 is. Looks like yours will just about wheelie off the throttle now.

[@gxcxgx1447]

Great job! Where did you order the plastics? You might have said but I missed it! Light housing white super cool! I like it a lot!

[@MichaelSabo]

Thanks man! The plastics are original. I painted the hood, gas tank and light housings.

[@gxcxgx1447]

Did you do anything to restore the plastics? They look great! The whole bike turned out amazing!

That right 💪💪

[@g-moneyracing127]

I am looking to buy a banshee, always had 4 strokes am i going to be happy with it?

[@MichaelSabo]

It really depends on what kind of riding you do and if you like the feel of a 2 stroke. It is a much different experience. Banshees can also be temperamental; if you dont know your way around a motor, it might be annoying. All in all, they're an awesome and fun machine when they're running right.

[@g-moneyracing127]

@@MichaelSabo my next door neighbor has one it hasnt been used in 5 years. It has full dmc exhaust boysen reeds. He has the title and all stock parts. so im going to buy it from him it looks to be in decent shape.

Kinda late but what year Raptor is this ? Thinking about getting one..

[@scyzor123]

Hi Michael, i have 2008 Raptor 700 which has a rusted exhaust. I bought a slip on Yoshimura straight pipe that i'm going to install. Is it necessary to change the stock Ecu? I am leaving oem headers.

[@MichaelSabo]

You might be able to get away with just the slip on, but you risk running the engine lean and you wont get max performance. There is usually a fuel optimizer that goes with the exhaust or you can get a custom programmer or ECU.

[@scyzor123]

@@MichaelSabo Thanks for your advice. I couldn't find any O2 sensor on the exhaust in the raptor so the ecu will not detect leaner mix. The pipe i bought was removed from Suzuki Gsxr 600. Do you think that preloaded maps from a Power Commander Pcfc would do the job?

[@carterdixon5048]

I can’t help to ask why you leave your key on when the bike is not running. Nice bike though

[@MichaelSabo]

I do turn them off eventually; sometimes I forget. Probably just habit; most of my bikes don't have a key ignition.
