[@Zack_Raefski]

Please don’t use AI for the thumbnails Mike, usually when I see ai pictures i want to look away from it lol keeping it real is the way to go

[@petes_powersports7438]

Yes I thought the same thing

[@TurbochargedHobbies]

I will 2nd this just because I didn't realize it was sabo because of the thumbnail

[@notorious6198]

Like your opinion matters that much never heard of someone being so offended over ai

[@danemueller756]

I disagree with this comment and here’s why: Us quad guys are few and far between. The more mainstream they become, the better for us consumers. Also, like it or not, the AI clickbait works for getting more views, allowing our guy Mike to do more cool builds.

[@stepeat2991]

Fucking hell guys just enjoy the content 😂😂 and appreciate that he is putting it out for FREE that’s all you need to care about

[@ubertalldude]

Real-image thumbnails look a lot better in my opinion. As always I'm a huge fan of the channel and your workmanship

[@SebastianBergstrom96]

Best part of the day is when you can finally sit down and watch a Michael Sabo video. Wish I could watch a new one every day! You're the man, Sabo!

[@Deadcaster0187]

The plan to enter a race after completing the bike is wild! The stakes have never been higher to make the best performing bike.

[@Pulkka_]

Definitely go with the classic graphics material

[@vettepicking]

On the lathe , always center drill first then use a twist drill bit. That way it will stay centered and wont wobble. Goggle center drills for a picture, im sure you have one in the lathe tooling draw

[@TurbochargedHobbies]

The raid shadow legends joke was freaking hilarious 😂

[@kevvy532]

david goggins shirt is great i got a hoodie great to see one of my favorite creators supporting another one of my favorite creators

[@defkatpunk]

i think a mix of both holographic and regular colors would look super cool

[@endurofurry]

I have a neighbor kid who used those rads. Broke the very first spill he took. Also his bike ran a little warm with them. Good luck truely.

[@theibault]

Go all out with the holographic stickers. I think they look amazing.

[@TheOffroadKid150]

You sould make some LTZ 400 merch

[@mikechristopher7513]

That RAID bit was hilarious!!! Earlier when you mentioned depression all I could think was Mike please no more better help ads! LOL!!

[@Sniperdmh]

Love seeing the videos about dirt bikes. Getting my 2006 Honda crf250r built and ready to run 😊

[@OperatorASF]

GPI makes some stellar rads. I ran Mishimoto on all my 450 quads but I started off with GPI and had no complaints

[@blessedinjax]

You need to let Robert urmosi get on that bike that dudes a legend

[@MotoJ69]

Always a good day when Mike sabo posts

[@Dabiiii__]

Love the thumbnail caught my eye so fast

[@benjaminmurphy6933]

The gpi radiators are actually decent.!. I was out of state, and cracked a kx250 stock one, being on a almost 2week trip/ a buddy found a set of gpi radiators for cheap and only 12miles away from where we were, bought emm, installed them, and here I am on 4yrs rocking them with no issues .!.

[@kurky72]

Always enjoy your projects, a dream of mine, maybe someday

[@ChanseMartin222]

Right on man. It’s so satisfying fabricating something for a build. Everything on ktm is built tough and appealing. And that’s a hard decision. I’d get it in both shades. And I got faith in your race entry. Set goals and chip away at them.

[@Amac1825]

Building the bike like you are will make competing with it 100% worth it.

[@trevorlaquale6602]

Always putting out good content, always 100% real/humble and the humor is perfect. And its all about my favorite hobby

[@jimhimesjr]

Lathe cut off tool looked correct but is old school and will not be fast. May need sharpened plus center height is critical, if you’re to high it’ll cut like crap. Rpm plays a critical role also. Use a center drill before running a drill in the lathe for it to cut on center and not run out like crazy

[@jayco1256]

Tool stickout was also quite long

[@mowestoutdoors]

I think mostly solid color graphics with some small holographic details would really pop!

[@Tom-bo2wj]

New to your channel. Found this build in my feed. Enjoying the KTM build so far. Will definitely be watching more of your videos. Funny thing is your powder coating place in only about 45 minutes from me.

[@claywalker4685]

I like the comic book thumbnails.Makes it more interesting!

[@DoodMangSpeaks]

maybe do the holo look on some of the accents? maybe some chevron accents to the original design in the holo. I think either way it will look sick!

[@mattharrell4]

When measuring depth with those Mitutoyo digital calipers just set the base of the “tail” of the calipers on the top of the object, as you measure the slide portion will then extend past the “tail” until it contacts the measured depth. This will provide a stable platform and the most accurate depth 👍🏻

"The potential for entertainment is high" ~ Michael Sabo 2024

[@Nerothos91]

im sorry but KTM is all about akropovic not FMF. also the color name ur looking for is chartreuse.

[@Free-living-alaska]

It is 😂😂 fmf is not that good on ktm 😂

[@Free-living-alaska]

But akeopovic is much more expentsif then fmf

[@garagemcmatt]

Depression is a serios thing........... but thanks to today's sponsor better help. LOL bike is going to be sick bro. I like the holographic look I think

[@DriveWayMafia]

ktm ftw forever and always

[@lawrencestoner2678]

Really enjoying this build so far, keep riding dirt bikes and you know you will get better! one day you will look back and laugh at where you were lol.

[@MichaelSabo]

Glad you're enjoying the build man. I'm hoping to look back and do just that!

[@tristanlagrange8727]

I like the traditional graphics. Keep up the work!

[@OperatorASF]

#4 holographic is badass

[@motoadventurehaiti]

Yes I use those discs too! Can’t go wrong with them!

[@mitchrace1133]

I used GPI radiators on my 2008 ktm250xcw build and so far they are working great. They fit well and seem to be fairly durable.

[@nevillegoddard4966]

Very cool parts you've got so far mate! I wouldn't know what colour graphics to recommend to you, so I'll leave that to your better judgement. I know that your favourite colour is green, so probly stick with some shade of green & you'll be happy! Can't wait till you get the metalwork back from the painters & powdercoaters & anodisers etc, & then watch you put these beautiful parts back together! It's gonna be so cool!

[@Berm_Blaster]

Mike, dont worry about the welds or your technique. Technique only really matters when welding things that are structural. That little piece you welded on the frame is fine. As long as both parts are melted you'll be fine. Always focus the heat on the thicker piece. Hold lonnger on the thicker part.

[@2LegitTooQuit]

Like always sweet work Mike!!!! That lathe really does come in handy!!! I need one of them now😂 Thanks. I love FMF but Akrapovic is the way to go for KTM

[@ralphvasso7209]

I’m sure whatever you pick will be dope. As always can’t wait to see the finished product

[@jaredrandall80]

I think that holo look could be bad ass if it's matched and designed well.

[@FatHulkRideEbike]

Man can really see in this video your workout program is working. Probably all the riding too, which is also good exercise. As always the current built (KTM) looks awesome!

[@andrewmoylan6295]

G'day, Mike, got all the goodies to make the KATO next level mate, looking forward to seeing it being put back together. Cool stuff

[@RuggedRc]

I think you should do one of the yellow, holographic, not all of them that way it's not too much, try it anyway cause the yellow looks cool how it goes to orange blue and green I think it would look good

[@raptor686bl]

Mike I started racing a few years ago and I practiced the best I knew how. My brother recommended going to a training day to learn how to ride better. I'm telling you I learned so much in those 4 hrs! Find a good place and go do it. You'll thank me later.

[@pskin1978]

I personally like the chrome holographic look better than the straight up colors. Just adds that extra pop. But regardless choose what you like best.

[@kevinconnors9396]

If your going full enduro and trail bike I would suggest bibs instead of tubes. I ride tight single track rocky rooty trails just something I figured I'd throw out there. Love the way the bike is coming out keep up the hard work

[@aarontownsend4774]

chrome yellow and flat grey

[@gabrielperez2937]

Maybe do the lettering in holographic and keep your color scheme the same. That might look cool

[@ni_wink84]

Mike got himself a KTM now he’s going for that Ronnie renner look 😂😂😂

[@Sunspot-19]

A drill, tap and shoulder bolt are time savers!! Where is your center drill? And who ground the tool used in the first lathe scene?

[@UhdeFegan]

HEY kislux !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day

[@frankwilliams2198]

Your channel is fricken awesome you always got cool stuff your doing on the show.

[@mostlymotorized]

The orbital sander seemed to take longer on the clutch cover because that has what's called a "hard coat". Many companies including Pioneer Metal Finishing can apply that to aluminum. It raises the Rockwell from ~15 to 65 or so on the surface. Similar to a tool steel.

[@karras6239]

The "L39END" part in that holographic would be cool

[@nochan99]

Use the chrome look for small details only.

[@MechTronMan]

Crazy tumbnail. Nice vid.

[@MayhemJRA]

The blue and yellow holographic might look nice as an outline/accent on the "39" in legend, maybe blue on the front fender to pop against the yellow, and the yellow on the "39 in legend on the side to pop with the blue. could also do something similar with the UR on the swing arm

[@josephhamilton5185]

Where are you getting refurbished power tools and the like from??? That would be a really good idea for us builders on a budget

[@carlosg1165]

Loved the holographic looks awesome 😊😊😊😊😊

[@user-vj2tr1mk7u]

The bike is gonna be so 🔥

[@spaceoven8788]

Painted swing arm would look good

[@dawsongiardino2802]

As far as I’m concerned the gpi radiators are very worth it. Have a set on my old wr 250f they fit well and you can’t beat the price

[@marcusmack2417]

Def should go to district 6 xc

[@DBCoopersGiblits]

Gotta name this one “orange crush” the sister to Grape Ape lol

[@skiddmark4272]

You need an end drill to start the hole in the lathe.

[@fadevize7239]

hey mike take it form ive raced with the Titanium headers and pipes and there super easy to get mangled up when falling when u race run a pipe guard to save sum cash

[@jahan3559]

Absolutely love this guy! Inspired me to buy a 2000 CR250R. Always look forward to your videos

[@nej113]

Do you have any tips when getting a frame powder coated? The one important thing I’ve picked up is to keep a little rectangle around the vin number. Anything else I have to remember or tell the powder coat firm?

[@RINO_POACHERPATRIOT]

Yeah Sabo! You better stop doing "your" thing on "your" channel. You got some nerve not checking in with us before you just unilaterally start making changes. We're not mad just disappointed...😂

[@LawLow86]

It's why you pay as much as you do for a ktm, quality bikes👌

[@theexisting1514]

its comin together!

[@tiredMK4]

Hey Mike, Im having a problem finding the link for the lathe. looked like it worked very well and would like to order one!...all jokes aside can't wait for the rest of the build series.

[@loganempson3134]

Honestly I like the AI thumbnail looks sick in my opinion

[@flamezr6870]

more dirtbikes pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@AndrewPolatty]

Traditional graphics for sure. I think it will help highlight all of the little details in the bike. The holographic I think will be to much.

[@Joshstxcr125]

What soft bar clamps would you recommend for a 2001 cr125

[@Thatltz400]

First here love you sabo you inspired me to rebuild bikes

[@mixonmachines]

I used GPI on my 01 CR250r with zero problems ❤

[@panic-revv85]

Put a bladder kit in the rear shock, it will help with the square end bumps. Also, Ride JBI has some awesome suspension valving options. What model and year bike is this?

[@megloton]

Where did you get that Partzilla gorilla shirt? I looked on website but could not find it. Thx love the build

[@josephchambers5400]

ICW will get those stock radiators done right. I think they can vaborblast them too and obviously braced and reinforced. ICW does basically all pro motocross suoercross and gncc radiators

[@Kolbyproduced]

lol i don't get the hate on the thumbnail being AI, that its not authentic or genuine, however if you're an avid Sabo fan you know no matter what its gonna be authentic and real. TBH the thumbnail caught my eye, and hyped me up EDIT: this was before the raid shadow legends bit and literally i was like oh no lmaoo

[@forrestgoodwin5693]

Hey Mike, what would be a good 2 stroke bike engine to put in a Yamaha Warrior? Not a 125 it's got to be at least a 250. I would think.

[@3rdaxis649]

Do work!! Wow 9K? That's insane.

[@schotzfired]

STAY HARD!

[@jasonstcin659]

I love me some Papa John's!! 😂

[@SaxtonBowman-tm2fh]

Your videos make my day Thanks and keep up the good work

[@dragracer-qf9xp]

I have the GPI radiators on my KTM the tank was up against them n just made the seat harder to get cuz the tank wasn't as far forward as it was

[@jb1..]

I like holographic, but get 1 of each if u can just incase!

[@JeffAdairKTM530]

inspiring brother

[@danielkarlsson608]

I have seen those aftermarket radiators burst and leak from the high 1.8 bar pressure the KTM's run. Stock is best.

[@tsar-bomba2413]

More traditional style for the graphics

[@TheOffroadKid150]

Nice! Love this build

[@tristan_andrade]

Go with the chrome😍

[@swampfox899]

hi gust wodering. where you get your plastics

[@DeaganZ3488]

Hey Mike. What’s with the Bultaco label?

[@christopheravery5808]

Bro, for real, check out The Moto Academy with AJ Catenzaro. He is a pro Supercross racer and he has a digital riding school for dirt bike riders and you can do in person training when he travels to tracks near you. But there are videos that you can watch to help you ride better and you can submit videos to get critiqued by AJ and by Jet Lawrence…. And you HAVE to know who Jet and his brother are, they are both doing SUPER well in the sport

[@MichaelSabo]

Dude I watch almost all of his videos!
