Looking jacked brother! I know the feeling riding after lifting. Full body fatigue

[@IdiotsInTheDesert]

@@MichaelSabo Is there going to be another top quad series? Maybe something similar to the mid size quad version? I've seen them all atleast twice they're the best series on YT.

[@4thdimensiontravels855]

Mike these bikes you build should be put in a museum. Absolutely the finest ltz400 example on the planet. Im sure a large percentage of viewers agree. Thanks for saving them 1 at a time.

[@MichaelSabo]

This is a huge compliment man - thank you for saying this! 🤘

[@ItzWolfyYT]

@@MichaelSabo MichaelSabo best youtuber

[@shaneschartel1593]

I really think the z was a very underrated machine. It’s a shame these and the Honda 400ex couldn’t stick around any longer… thank you Mike for giving these some attention!

[@johnsb1550]

You build these things better than the factory.

[@DUNEATV]

When I watch a video, I like I usually leave a comment. But when I watch your videos, I am literally speechless! You are an absolute magician your craftsmanship is unreal. I don’t even know what to say! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@OdysseyOffroad]

🍆

[@donjuan7428]

Looking pretty sweet. Michael is the best.

[@breakfree4177]

Imagine owning a Sabo built atv and you have these detailed videos of assemblies, and an awesome reference for maintenance. Badass

[@thejavelin7832]

The Z400... back when atv magazines were at their peak! Late 80's Dirtwheels and mid 2000's Dirtwheels had some of the best, tech, shootout, builds, and reader's rides articles.

[@F5Tornado44]

The build is looking so sweet. The look on your face when you installed your swingarm was priceless. LMAO. Oh...don't forget your frame to motor grounds. You don't want that issue to resurface again.

[@robertedwards7477]

Love your vids man you should do so more two stroke dirt bike builds would love to see it loved the grape ape keep up the good work though👍🏼

[@Klue27]

Its so epic seeing it come together! Cant wait for part 2!

[@MichaelSabo]

Glad you're enjoying it man!

[@I509_carlos]

YO IM SO READY FOR THIS BECAUSE I USED TO OWN A Z 400 BUT IT GOT STOLEN THIS GIVES ME NOSTALGIA

[@Mtblover1]

Dang man I can’t imagine getting my quad stolen😢

[@chadriddle3517]

Mike, you simply build the most prestigious power sports machines I’ve ever seen

[@red_pickle_49]

This goes down as my favorite build on your channel 🤘

[@kylehewitt3108]

Guys.....let's tell everyone about Mike sabo...,help this man reach 1 million subs!

[@MichaelSabo]

You are too kind man, thank you 🤘

[@kylehewitt3108]

Keep up the awesome work man.... 👍🏾👍🏾💯💯

[@danielgomora7455]

Anyone want to join me in on a game of drink every time he say’s “OEM” ?? 😂 Awesome vid as usual Michael!

[@border411]

At 45 years old I don't think my liver could keep up. Its not like it used to be back in my fraternity days.

[@Hubbard_Randall69]

I’d say one of the most impressive projects I’ve seen you do Mike. Very interesting and cool to see how close to OEM you got with it. Awesome video Mr. Sabo!

[@toddlloyd9161]

I wish it was final assembly . I have a love for Suzuki quads had Lt 500 loved that quad. Keep up the great work you do.

[@Proxiir]

So stoked you went with the OG exhaust!

[@manaaalsuwaidi3643]

Man! Watching this LTZ400 series really takes me to year 2005 when i sat on one yellow LTZ400 and few months later my dad bought me one! To this day i still have it and ride it, but everything is aftermarket now and I can hard remember the OEM look! But looking at your build REALLY takes me back to the beautiful old days ! Of course I adore the way my Z400 now rides (434 big bore, FCR 41MM carb, fox air shocks and +3 a arms and suspension - dunes eating machine) but that OEM look and feel is priceless!!👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🔥💯 Keep it up mate!

[@bretwagner818]

Looking very sharp Mike. Good stuff 👍🏻 Excited to see the end result. Your attention to detail is on point.

[@magnaira5072]

that cam cover being that different shade of blue makes that motor pop, really glad to see that and the welded case saved. truly a revival

[@larrysupersport]

LET'S GO MS!! This thing is looking SO good.

[@DylanTabler]

Possibly best powersport guy ever. I have a goal to own a sabo special one day:)

[@TheATVShoppe]

A true inspiration to the sport atv community, incredible work mike! My favorite build to date. Keep up the great work!

[@brianfl33916]

Sick build! I would wrap the headlight shroud/hood in the blue decals to match the graphics to make it look more like the old school 250.

[@IndianGiver350]

Incredible work. And great community of like-minded subscribers who still have a passion for dirt riding of yesteryear, while the majority of folks do nothing but golf…

[@jdm_mike91_90]

I love the part in the intro where parts are laid out and u laid out too... you put ALOT of work into these projects shits fire bro 🔥🔥

[@thebigdustin]

Mike Sabo video is the perfect end to my Monday. Loving the build, can't wait for the next one.

[@anthonyrobert5248]

The word for today is "OEM"😂😂😂😂. Love the channel and the content. I've learned so much watching your videos so thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone. Keep up the awesome content!!!!!

[@_UncleBo_]

Hell yeah dude she's coming along nice!! Brings back memories for sure!

[@jordanpanich]

Looks AMAZING! Takes me back to the summer of 2002 when I agonized between buying a 400ex or the 2003 Z400!

[@theibault]

You are my favorite meathead and I mean that with nothing but love!! Great job on this dude and I've watched all of the videos and all on the extra channel.

[@OdysseyOffroad]

Mike, the attention to detail is next level. Amazing stuff. I can't wait to see the finished product man. Making me miss my Z400 😢

Looking good so far. Nice work, brother. You made the right choice on the exhaust system, it looks like a work of art. Catch ya on the next one.

[@hunterconley2988]

I did an entire ground up 04 z400 build last winter. When I seen you put the oil tank and rad in before the steering stem I started laughing. I did the same thing and had to take the two back out lol

[@szmv23]

Man,I loved the tail light dilemma😂

[@karsensandberg3499]

The production and quality of your videos are getting so good, been a fan since last year, can’t wait to see what the future holds for your creative builds keep up the good work

The valve cover or the cam cover whatever you want to call it I think looks awesome I love that Matt blue finish it doesn't match the frame of the four-wheeler but I think it looks great

[@TheBlasterGuy]

Literally can’t get myself to even watch TV but always make time to watch your videos. 💪💪💪

[@abbottsgameclips8652]

Before I watch I'm gonna say I have a 05ltz got end of last season . Did a co.plete tear down. I have everything I need for bushings bearings and almost time to start putting it back together .

Hi Mike. This is once again an awesome build. I enjoyed it very much. 😊 Well done 🎉

0:07 Mike in there looking like I just opened up one of those mini dirt bike action figure toys

[@hansen3bd]

I had the exact same quad with the same yoshi pipe. These are such a great machine. I couldn't imagine how much money you have in new oem parts!

[@thebeez9487]

LOL I liked the layout @ 0:10 , it's like a model kit complete with action figure!

Hi Michael, I was the one asking about the pit bike earlier. I had the 230r I think I’m gonna pull the trigger on a pit bike. Thanks for your opinion. The engine build looks sick

Been looking forward to this. 👍

[@wyattguttery9614]

Awesome video man, gonna be such a sweet unit when done 👌

[@bmwoliver1231]

I think that is amazing the ltz400 is my absoulte dream quad but they Are worth a pretty penny😂. Plis keep this beast really sick that u TikTok the time to get this so original and clean.

[@dustinsoule4960]

Brand new OEM!! 😆

[@WVdavidB]

Hair spray, index or rubbing alcohol works to get grips on. The true tip is to use a blow gun and compressed air. Just wedge the tip of the gun under the lip of the grip blow and push them on.

[@mostlymotorized]

Badlands bash June 8 2024. I'll be home from Seattle by then and it's only a 4-Hour drive from southeast Wisconsin😂 I'll bring some stuff

[@xrrripper2327]

Lmfao I’ve had this song stuck in my head for the last few weeks it got so bad that I had to learn part of what I remembered on guitar. The whole time I was like What in the hell is this riff from!!!” I even showed it to my sister who is a huge metal head and she didn’t know. Turns out it was one of the songs played in your videos. Specifically the quadzilla full assembly video. Makes sense because it’s my favorite series of yours. But either way just another thing amazing about the content you put out love the tracks and love what your doing Mike. Keep up all the good work and so excited to see the conclusion of the LTZ build!!!!
