[@MichaelSabo]

Who's ready to see this thing rip at Little Sahara!? Thank you for following the TRI-Z series; if you enjoyed it, please give the video a like and consider subscribing so you don't miss future videos like this one 🤘 You ROOOCK!!!

[@nolanmeyer4052]

Heck yeah man, you ride little Sahara? Been going there since I was a newborn

[@colbystewart7238]

Got to watch it last night man and what a badass build. Just came back to show love and give it a like!

[@thatoneguy2756]

Front brake line is leaking at the banjo, saw 2 drips on first view of bars as u started down driveway

[@MichaelSabo]

@@colbystewart7238 dude, you're awesome; thanks for the extra love on this one Colby!

[@rossarmstrong1053]

Well done mike. That thing looks BA… Little Sahara is a couple hours south of me. I might just head down there and see that beauty in person (the tri-z, not you) ha.

[@willheft3445]

One of my favorite parts of these builds is when you set all the parts in the driveway and lay next to them. I know it take forever but it’s really a cool touch, almost like unboxing a toy model that I’m about to build! Love the vids you’re awesome Mike!

[@MichaelSabo]

Glad you like the aerial shots! Thank you for the feedback on that.

[@mikebarriball]

YEAH, THAT WAS SO AWESOME AND A LOT OF WORK I'M SURE. BUT IT WAS WELL WORTH IT.✌

[@tomatoknuckles]

Not a lot, but i feel like this much effort in bringing us free entertainment and knowledge deserves a tip. Absolutely killed this build, but i wasn't expecting anything else, you always kill it. Fan for life here in Ireland 🇮🇪

[@MichaelSabo]

Wow man, this is a huge compliment and making my day. Just watching and liking the video means a lot to me. This will go right into the shop fund for future projects - thank you

[@tmveronee]

Man you ROCK! This thing is amazing! You really add a lot your builds that set them apart from everyday restorations. I appreciate your dedication man.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for the love man!

[@NovaMudder]

This thing is an absolute work of art. Beautiful. Great work and as usual great attention to detail.

[@mrraphendeck]

seriously man that's a really good resto mod !! hope you enjoy these beast. Those trikes are something else about driving feeling/performance. Again very nice job on this trike.

[@cdanosdrums4966]

I rarely sub to people on KZbin but your knowledge is amazing and helps me expand my mechanical horizons!

[@0hhPreshha]

Props to all the time and effort you’ve put into the buisness im proud of ya🤘

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for the love man!

[@MikeRay1978]

First thing I noticed. A 1985 triz 250 exploded in parts. On the real though, the way you restore every single nut and bolt is unparalleled. I’ve never done a complete project like this but after seeing your work I couldn’t settle for less.

[@jasonfuller6527]

This thing is killer! Totally worth the wait. The retro graphics put it over the top. Bravo dude. Also, your confidence in the sawzall kills me. I have to look away. 😂

[@nickjames2002]

I still have the Tri-Z 250 I grew up with. Love that you rebuilt one! I need to get mine running again.

[@cdsmith1990]

Dude I can't overstate how much we appreciate you doing these projects and making the epic videos in such detail. Hands-down the best on KZbin. I smashed this one in a single sitting lol.

[@MichaelSabo]

You are the man for saying this; made my night! :)

[@youareright5431]

You really should turn that into a twist throttle it's much easier to ride,It's a different ride than a Quad and it allows your thumb to keep hold of those bars!! You did a beautiful job,This was absolutely one of my favorite vehicles I've ever owned...I would leave it a little fat jetting wise with that Xtra boost port that motor is going to love it!!And when we raced we went down a couple of teeth on the rear sprocket it has no problem pulling a couple of lost teeth on that rear axle!!

[@MichaelSabo]

@youareright5431 I appreciate the love man! I might swap out with a twist just to try it at some point 🤘

[@4thdimensiontravels855]

That is a truly professional build.

[@MarcovdWesthuizenSADrummer]

Insane how good this thing looks !!!!! , super job Michael , i can almost smell the 2 Stroke by just watching the video🤣

[@corporalclegg914]

I’ve never flown higher, farther & landed softer than riding a private super-x style track on a badass Tri-Z. I was launching tables & landing to flat with zero concerns. that was the 1st & last experience on one & I was eleven

[@jasonolmsted4147]

Looks bad ass! I loved 3 wheelers when I was a kid.

[@dadspeed227]

Unbelievable man every build is more and more legendary. Hope you find a shifter soon this thing is unreal.

[@MichaelSabo]

Glad you like the way it turned out! I should have the shifter sorted out in the next couple days

[@hank1556]

A shifter from a Timberwolf 250 works fairly decently. That what I have on my TriZ ✌🏻

[@stefanoslan]

I love your long format videos!! I’m not even into quads but I watch all your videos, they are just great, entertaining and full of precious information.

[@EthanWieczorek]

Can’t wait to watch the whole thing I know it’s gonna turn out amazing like all your builds

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you Ethan!

[@douglasjrboley5657]

I'm 50. My first trike was a 1980 YT 125 two stroke. I always wanted a yellow tri-z! YOU'RE THE MASTER at what you do.

[@charlestaylor3434]

This guy is killing it!!! C'mon... look at the the effort my dude is putting in here, it's top notch. Love it all Mike! Don't stop grinding. I've been here since the early days and it's only gotten better. I look forward to each post. Hold on to this one, she's special.

[@brenontech]

favorite build of yours so far. really really well done. every new completed build impresses me more than the last. excellent work

[@balldedesigns20]

I bleed three wheelers and I love when guys like you with such a following bring these amazing bikes to the forefront. I race a BVC 450r and sponsored by them to. I do have some suggestions and tips. The first one is the wider the back of the machine makes it more stable in turns and straights. Rear braking into a turn will straighten the bike up. If you take the front wheel down to a 10” it will open up to more tires. I run a Maxxis razor 23/10/7 for the Worcs series. The rear wheel 8”to 9” are better at finding tires. Again I love the content you created and keep up the fantastic work!

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for all the tips and awesome to hear you're still rocking a trike and racing one! 🤘

[@910slastchancegarage6]

You outdone yourself with this one Mike! Awesome job!!!

[@Brandonp95]

Incredible build man, as always. Thanks for spending so much extra time to make our viewing experience so much better. You the man! I know Rocket Ron has always been your go to for builds for shock rebuilds, but is that something you think you’ll ever dive into in the future? Would be cool to learn how to rebuild shocks with you.

[@lionellawson2808]

You have to do more vintage builds

[@MichaelSabo]

I would like to do a set of shocks on my own to learn how they work and the correct way to service them. Thank you for the kind words man!

[@daxmorlock7846]

That trike turned out so amazing. I would love to see it in person. Along with all your other builds.

[@lanniewiant8269]

Dude your such a master at these Sq builds thank you for all you do!!

[@MichaelSabo]

Man that's a huge compliment Lannie 🤘🤘

[@JohnSluck-g9f]

Your Tri-z came out amazing. Looks brand new. I really miss the one I had . Very fast and fun machines. Great job as always.

[@Cody_4]

I love every Michael Sabo build. Your attention to detail on every build is unmatched. If I was looking for someone to build me a quad or bike, I wouldn’t hesitate a bit letting you take the reins on it. 👍✌️

Oh man ..I had a Yamaha Tri z 250…am 57yrs…back in the 1985 this was a piece of art machine the only one with cooling system…had headers and sounds awesome …ran into sand dunes near the beach…and then suddenly it was prohibited down in Puerto Rico…bought it for 2,500 in a Yamaha dealer had a model sticker built in Italy…hope one day I can have that machine back…lot of great memories…enjoy it man!

I love the exploded view it looks like it's a model kit

Unbelievable job, you really are a master at this.

[@brenthirschman9142]

What a great example of history .the attention to detail is second to none, the throttle fab work shows your experience. You put on a master class of how its done

This is a really big compliment; thank you

[@robsivertson2772]

Came out BADASS!! Good job Mike!!

[@kevinconnors9396]

Hell yea man such a sick build. Prob the only channel on youtube that i can sit an watch from start to finish. Your problem solving skills are awesome to watch the problem with the screw in end on the throttle cable nice work man keep it up we all love watching. 👏

[@jeffwatkins5779]

Great looking build! Quick tip on the NPT tap. There should be a hole in the back side of the tap with the flats. Put a chamfer tool in the drill press and press down on the tap with it. Drill press should not be on while doing this. Then turn the tap with a wrench while putting light pressure on the tap with the drill press. That will keep you centered and straight

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for the tip on that!

[@dubiousf00d]

Once again, you hit a homerun with this build! Absolutely sick machine with bitchin graphics. Long live the 2stroke🔥🔥

I was born in the early 80’s and have had several three wheelers for the Honda 350x also had a 200x and I’ve always wanted a 250r three wheeler I’ve had a 250r quad but the three wheeler just as always been something I have been in love with this takes me back to my younger days that tri-z is probably about equivalent to a Honda 250r I’m super jealous that is one badass three wheeler one of the coolest ones I’ve seen I really love the look and what you did I started watchin and watched every sec of your video what a cool ass ride man i wish I could afford to do such a cool build like that a bike like that is definitely one to be reckoned with be carefull and have fun man if your ride like I do then I know you’ll have more fun on that thing then you e had in a long time love the video and awesome build man really super awesome build

I enjoyed this video very much! I appreciate all of the work and details you put into all of your builds! This tri-Z turned out completely bada$$ I love it, keep on making content like this! I had to back out and restart the video countless times because of my Wi-Fi making the tv glitch lol I was so invested in watching the entire video!

[@Tri-Z250]

Very nice job, awesome build! Really good detailed info you provide, thanks a ton. You really make great videos, film everything real well. One question I have, and didn't see a reference link to: what replacement throttle spring is that you used, will it work in the stock Mikuni, and where to get it from? You mentioned it was much less stiffer, and I need that bad, as I have some arthritis in my thumbs...getting old sucks. Thanks for any info.

[@Anonymous-oy6rj]

Hey Mike, you did a amazing job and the Tri-Z looks awesome!

[@shaunsheep8252]

I’m 51 now, been riding since I was 6 and also raced in my late teens/early twenties so am quite used to fast bikes. many years ago a friend offered me a Tri Z he traded it in for a car. Said the chap used to race it. Ok I will have a look, hahaha what was I thinking, the thing was an animal, barely touch the throttle and the front came up and it shot off like a scolded cat. I didn’t even open her up past half throttle. Went down the track, turned round came back and got off. It would have put me in hospital or killed me They are crazy Very nice build you have done.

Of the 3 bikes I've done (2 full rebuilds) I have been able to watch your videos for guidance, sometimes many times over lol, I love it that you show torque specs on major points (wishing their was more lol), I can say I have watched so many of your videos to the point they guide me on purchases, I do it for the love of it and while I can't afford many of the nice parts you use I can say the results have been far better due to your videos
