Going to be an awesome build

Have you ever checked out Vito’s company for atv parts

[@shylercantrell3089]

How can I send you pictures of my R I replicated off of your R I would really like to show them to you

[@brad5085]

Lets go mike

[@artegreyrat1161]

yo i was watching your vids and the way you restore quads is awesome. i have a banshee which ripped when i bought but some dudes fu*ked it up when it was sitting outside and after repairing the banshee it isnt quite the same as it was. doesnt rip the same as it did before do you know what might be the problem. also the pistons fucked up

[@DabbyCakes1]

One of the only creators that keeps me watching all the way through every single video. Really appreciate the effort you put in to these. Ride on man👊🏻

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for the feedback, compliment and support Beemer! Ride on 🤘👊

[@davidusry5048]

I couldnt agree more. I havent had or been into quads in 15+ years and i cant stop watching every video and im even poking around looking for an old beat up banshee to project on!

[@floridatrailrider305]

These builds are so satisfying to watch, seeing them go from dead too becoming fully functional machines again. Awesome work keep it up Sabo!

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for always supporting brother 🤘

[@ThunderBird80085]

Use heli-coils for fixing threads. They will hold stronger than the aluminum they are embedded in. If it's good enough for aerospace it's definitely good enough for a quad.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for the tip man! I was actually able to repair these threads and forgot to put it in the video! I'll have it in the next one

[@benschlack5814]

I like the fact you get angry you keep it real and do things correctly

I look forward to these videos all week! Love the content! Great person behind it as well!

[@slaterider]

Another great video, Mike. Your quad and bike work are top notch. I have to say you have inspired me to get back into reviving some of these older machines myself. And no need to apologize for getting angry at the end. I actually played it over a couple of times laughing my ass off because we all have been there.😂

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you man. Lol, I'm glad you said that because sometimes I'm not sure if I should include the rage parts but I feel like everyone can relate to that.

[@ethanschweiss981]

Before I could never sit on KZbin for an hour and watch a video. You're videos are the only on you tube I can be entertained that long for. Keep it up Mike!

[@11GalleryATV]

That color scheme is the shiznit! What a sick build!

[@MichaelSabo]

Hahaha what a great word, "shiznit." Thank you for the love brother!

[@sspacegghost]

One of my fav ways to spend an hour is watching you restore something from a pile of nothing. So satisfying. I never realised how clock like and cog heavy engine internals are. Theyre beautiful. little metal cranky clocks - so pretty. Ive always been on the edge of mechanic stuff, most racers are quasi engineers, but, its the depth of detail I dig on these vids. makes me feel like i missed 'the art' of mechanic work, you speak that language.

[@ethanschweiss981]

Amazing man, love your work! You have so much patience for completely rebuilding a bike that's so far gone and turning it into a dream machine.

[@zoeylamant8298]

It’s amazing the fixes you come up with. Great content.

[@stevenrejniak9426]

Always love to see your craftsmanship and passion. Actually motivated me to go build something I thought of doing a while back.

[@Iowaguy13]

I just started watching this channel. I like how you do a great job of describing how to do things. Then also your sense of humor with the used parts.

[@theboogieman401]

Hell yeah man . the content is just really good . so much time goes into these builds .

[@4.5.0.Garage]

Ive been really busy lately with work and getting my machines ready for the season, tons of issues. Your vids always give motivation man thank you!

[@charlestaylor3434]

Another great one Mike! The effort you put into your builds AND videos is outstanding! I've probably mentioned this before but I'm a 2 wheel guy and yet here I am watching you build quads. ROCK ON 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@fr33.rid3r]

The color schemes on your builds are insane 🔥 you make it seem easy. Sweet powder coating!

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you bro; glad you like the colors 🤘

[@vintagetrikesandquads4012]

I think the grill looked better gray--it offered more contrast and matched the frame. Anyway, the 660 is a great machine. I've done a lot of mods to mine.

[@shoes121255]

Hood/grill might look awesome green as well if he can't find a white that matches.

[@MichaelSabo]

Colored definitely looked good too; I want to see what it looks like with graphics on there and I may change it. I have some plans for contrast!

[@UnlacedChicago23]

Finally you posted the video deff your number one fan here I follow you on everything hoping to meet you one day!

[@AlwaysSearching..]

Think you should paint the radiator cover satin black! The off coloured white is going to throw the whole thing off, also think the nets would look better in black too 👍🏼

[@Fifthgeargarage]

I’ve been binging all of your builds, and the attention to detail is amazing, love the videos!

[@MG-up5mh]

Thanks for the video Mike, I’m currently splicing a frame on a YZ250, rotten frame rails, some advice is to support before doing any cutting to keep frame rails straight and aligned, good job on the repair and the weld isn’t terrible either 😀 try and treat the inside of the frame with a lubricant or anti-corrosion spray in the holes to keep moisture at bay. It will slow down/neutralize what rust remains in the frame.

[@rageragex8308]

[@davidschofl3908]

I own one too and rebuild it completely about last year and drove 7000 miles on it. The only problem so far has been the stator, the clutch and the big nut, thats on the clutch side of the crank. These engines are so great and I love to ride it every time.

[@shoes121255]

Those threads need some helicoils so you have good securement. Anti seize definitely helps the adjuster bolts. Also when removing bolts that stuck, switch back from reverse to forward, back and forth. It helps break corrosion on the threads so they don't get as torn up.

[@SMMBHQ-cg2zy]

YES MORE HELI-COILS THE WORLD NEEDS THEM, AS WELL AS RIV-NUTS . WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[@titletownclowns1545]

A recent and obvious huge honor for Pete to be part of Yamaha's legacy of sport quads. Mike I think you really should send some of your color renderings to the Yamaha marketing, they are always great looking and stunning to see done. Most of the color combos not many folks would think of that really work on the end product. Grape Ape and Voodoo Banshee are a wild color scheme and fortune favors the bold, as the late '60-'70s Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth have shown. Keep up the great job on quality of fit/finish and video content. Pops

Have you ever tried plastic welding before? A lot of abs plastic can be welded and be strong as the original plastic. I did it during the late 80's fixing cracks and breaks on sport bike plastic. I don't know if this is a lost art, but it sure save money for my friends and myself.

ESP when working with frames and stress points your always going to be better to run single line stringer beads with a mig than weave. Little easier to avoid some the undercut you have run hot enough they will lay in nice and clean looking but for not being a welder and in your garage you fixed it the right way so I give props where deserved.
