Ultimate Z400 Build SNEAK PEEK!

[@MichaelSabo]

New video on the main channel will be up soon! To see this build in detail, make sure to follow my main channel - Michael Sabo 🤘

[@diegocuen1964]

Do not sell the trailer… you will need it in the future. Especially if you are moving!!

[@le0nard015]

I really wanted to come meet you and see the build beside my Z, but sadly my graduation party is set for that dame day 😭

[@MichaelSabo]

@diegocuen1964 I agree it's great to have - I am replacing it with another one - just a little smaller/lighter.

[@MichaelSabo]

@le0nard015 no worries man, another time!

[@garagemcmatt]

Looks good bro. Gunna be a fun ride tomorrow

[@benbrown565]

sounds amazing. the cool thing about the z400 is if you take a few minutes to maintain them they last forever. like literally forever.

[@Mich1gen]

I had Z400 and I can agree with you. Once I fixed everything that was neglected by previous owner it was just an oil change every few months and that was all. The only "constant" Issue I had with Z400 was, that every single bolt on that quad became loose and even those, that I have used locktite on. But to be honest, every single quad is reliable and lasts forever, if you maintain it as it should be. I had few quads over the years without almost zero issues.

[@toddtilch230]

You are correct. I have an 04. Never even had to adjust the Valves. Motor still Purrs quiet.

[@bretwagner818]

You are correct. Factory accessory skid plate that comes with X model only. Not on Moto bike but bolts right up 👍🏻 Z looks really good.

[@deancusworth434]

Just awesome Mike 😮😮😮😮😮

[@danscotchie5364]

Dude! It's badass! Just know that the quality work that you do is recognize by all! There's no one that does what you do. Thank you!

[@jeffbryda5789]

Agree, no hood. The Z looks great, i do miss mine

[@chrisbrowne8997]

Wow!!! Mike you have outdone yourself with this one... almost too clean and to original to ride that's crispy fresh superb job

[@ChanseMartin222]

I love both channels! I’ve been watching you for years. And I have to say nobody is doing it like you. Stunning builds on the most desirable machines. I’m looking forward to a hybrid build. Like a kx500 in your tecate! Lol. Keep up the hard work! 🤘

[@ashrobberrett6858]

Wouldn’t you love to see the Japanese assembly line putting the Z together? It would be cool to see how different your assembly is. Looks so good. Really like the OEM look!!

[@MichaelSabo]

That would be very cool to have seen

[@justincarlfilms]

Cool 😎 great timing 👍

[@Coach4.5.0]

The cover throws it off even if it was blue or yellow. Great build Mike I love how it's turned out so far 😍

[@landonkulas2968]

Love these extra videos. And I just wanna say this build definitely stands out from the rest. Looks absolutely insane

[@MISTERSLLIM]

The best youtube channel/ channels period. 💪🏻👍🏼🤙🏻

[@benjaminyoung1746]

Absolutely amazing! You’re beyond talented, Enjoy the Z400!

[@leehuntley189]

Hey Mike those 4 bolts on the swingarm need the same gap you'll need to kick the tire forward on the tight side

[@wesleyrolls1550]

This quad looks 🔥 🔥 🔥! I think you should do a “competition series” for a build like this in the OEM+ style with maybe the Brewers, and a few others, maybe 2Vintage. Then go Top Quad style with it. That would be an amazingly epic series.

[@Shadowz_660R]

Dude it came out looking great definitely looks true to it's time? I can totally see this as a special edition at a dealership. Great job Mike. Definitely appreciate these extra videos.

[@337drizzydre]

Nice work next build should be a trx450r

[@LandonGreenwald]

Mike it would be so cool if you did a bike build on the 250x

[@garagemcmatt]

I have a extra 91 trx250x maybe i can talk him into taking it home with him when he comes over to ride with me tomorrow

[@FatHulkRideEbike]

Nicest build so far. That color scheme is awesome.

[@kevindesjardins197]

Just picked up my first 06 ltz400 in really good shape.

[@lukecombs5242]

Beautiful build on the z400 mike I would put some antiseize on those carrier bolts and I’d pull the carrier back out and cover it in grease to make it slide back and forth easier those carriers are notorious for seizing well the bolts anyways. Can’t wait to see it in action.

[@dubiousf00d]

Love the way that blue just pops. And good call on the different blue on the engine. Bitchin🔥🔥 Can't wait for the big reveal!

[@brad4010]

Good call on the hood. Sucks about the trailer but should be able to get a good amount for it. We have a 14'x7' V-Nose with 78" ceilings - its a great all around trailer. Loaded up with (2) quads, gear, tools, and gasoline it's around 4500 lbs. And then we have a little 5'x8' ramp gate if we don't need the enclosed.

[@tsar-bomba2413]

I've been waiting for this update or the final vid. Awesome job you really out did yourself this time Mike. She looks amazing

[@RYP3]

Man that 400 looks dope. Looks brand new from factory, im in the process of tarting mine up and watching this video just makes me want to go the extra mile to make it look 100x better

[@aaronhebert100]

Mike, I’ve got that same Quinn torque wrench! I’ve got the fix for you lol so that button cycles the different modes, and that mode with the 4 zeros is some sort of angle mode where if you have to go like 30 ft lbs then a 1/2 turn you can use that mode for it. If it goes in that mode just keep the torque wrench still and flat and you will be able to go to the next mode once it’s still and knows you don’t need the angle sensor.

[@cadman9615]

Looks awesome man. Attention to detail is fantastic. Being a mechanical engineer it’s appreciated. So many ppl ignore the small details.

[@Berm_Blaster]

When i was 10 i learned how to ride clutch on a 250r atc lol. My brother always told me if you can start it you can ride it. I somehow managed to start his 250rs on my own even being below average size for a 10 year old.

[@eager400]

Thank you Mike for keeping us updated with the extra channel. It keeps us in the loop and on the edge of our seats! Can't wait to see it!

[@nolanmeyer4052]

the Z looks sooooooooooooooo good!

[@DerredmaxTRIAX]

The best way to learn is follow someone that's good and do what they do within reason! Bro that thing looks amazing!!

[@FarmersforTruth]

That thing came out super nice

[@rocknraptor3195]

Awesome, great job bro. That's why I like you, you do good work. I'm kinda the same way & we're a lot alike. I'm rebuilding two bikes now so I feel your excitement, joy, pains, frustrations, lol. For real it feels good seeing you finish the quad & succeed bro. I know the work & time it takes, then to film it too. Good job dude!👍

[@kawasakikid6205]

That hole on the side is for water to come out of. It goes in the sparkplug and comes out there.

[@notor1ou5ali8]

That thing is super clean 🙌🏽

[@tylermatheson2118]

Looks super crispy bro love it, always killing it, can't wait for the reveal video 🤙

[@OdysseyOffroad]

Hell yea, c ya at the bash bro. Look forward to meeting you and seeing that badass machine!

[@mw4518]

Hey Mike, sweet builds you have going! I’m glad you are finally getting into bikes as well! Just a recommendation, those stock skids are pretty crappy, I would recommend a TM designs or SXS skid plate for the KX. You don’t want to be bashing your frame rails or worse, putting a hole in your cases. Have fun!

[@Cloroxbleach-mp7hv]

That’s the point Michael For me to video long footage series of the z400 I can watch z400 videos all day man love the work

[@dunk2527]

This is the best z400 build ever

[@alexsuttles7662]

I had a very similar coolant leak on my yfz450 that i did a top end rebuild on. After one ride it stoped. Never saw coolant in the oil, nor did i have to refill any coolant. But i had the same initial thought that i messed somthing up But it seemed to fix itself

[@MichaelSaboEXTRA]

That is so weird - I really think it was a drop that flew there or something - it's been days now, running the engine here and there and still no sign of it leaking.

[@squid98989898]

I would say it looks better than brand new off the showroom floor!! Absolutely amazing build!!!! Your attention to detail is off the charts. Mike, is your barber on vacation? 😂

[@ashrobberrett6858]

Please take care of your hard work when riding the new Z. Wish I still had my 09 Z400. Fuel injection is awesome.

[@michaelpresey2273]

I just did a kx250 build first start up bubbles were coming out around head, turned it off checked everything started back up no more bubbles around head I thought that was very strange also no coolant loss and I had the motor running so far for about 20 mins

[@toddthompson3501]

Hell yea man love all the extra content

[@chadriddle3517]

That z400 is perfect

[@Robertkidvasquez]

I love the video edits and the bike is beautiful.

[@amonshrewsbury282]

Lovin this extra channel bro keep it up! Can’t wait to see an ltr hit the channel

[@rickmitchell5415]

Machine looks soo awesome,can’t wait to see you get it dirty

[@nevillegoddard4966]

Looks great mate!

[@dennisbagatin4480]

Wow looks great mike 👍

[@theibault]

I'm perfectly happy to watch you wrench endlessly on all the projects with no end in sight. 😆

[@kylei20]

I always felt like the Z400 looked sick from behind and at a slight angle. The angles from the rear and front fenders. From the front it looks sweet too but def love to watch her leave

[@1978bronco]

Love the ltz400 almost bought one, but ya should take the 250r up to badlands

[@867diesel]

you just couldnt wait could you ? 🤣🤣 . it looks exactly how a special dealer edition would look dude . who backed the truck up into the vet ? if you didnt hit it , you can barely slide paper between 🤣🤣. reminds me of the saying " back up until you hit something " 🤣🤣

[@hughwinellis]

That thing sounds sweet👌

[@Kam.S20]

Loving the extras keep doing great work!!

[@Lracer61]

Looks great!

[@brokejokeratv5851]

It's amazing man your do such great work

[@justincarlfilms]

Cool riding with garagemc. That's awesome tell him I said heeeeeyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

[@garagemcmatt]

yeah buddy!

[@davidstoner27]

Looks so good

[@Jeremy-de2of]

The Z is mint what a awesome job man better looking then when it was new

[@brianfl33916]

Kawasaki and Yamaha are all bringing back throwback schemes on their dirt bikes. Yamaha should do it for their quads. Suzuki should bring back a quad and copy your concept!

[@ksboi29]

Beautiful ❤️

[@lukepaul2882]

Damn 12 hrs before first oil change it ruthless

[@BigKidsRC]

Awesome Mike the quad is looking killer !! I gotta tell you when your hair grows you look like a young Lou Ferrigno in his prime LOL no lie peace👊🤘💪

[@jebjohn7934]

You should do some videos on the tecate 4 nice work on the z400 btw

[@donaldvagi8150]

Post the video already the anticipation is killing me

Let's goooo!

Insne man i love your work keep up

[@detectivegood5886]

Bro, I got a ltz 400, but it's bord to a 450, and It not running the best. What type of carprater do you think I should youse for it because it's spiting and sputtering

[@FarmersforTruth]

Im waiting on a new Tri-Z vid 😊🎉

[@troubled_l_k8202]

Or the build of his tecate 4

[@bobsacamano3617]

Sabo growing some lettuce!

[@joeypooschke7914]

Looks great mike, where did you find the factory settings for the shocks? I’m trying to find the factory settings for my 06 YFZ450, I’ve looked everywhere and cannot find anything that tells me where the factory settings are for the compression and rebound?? Plz let me know if you have an idea where to find the factory settings for the compression and rebound please 🙏 and Thank you 🙏

[@jamiesmo91]

I can tell you the factory settings for an 08 yfz450 which should be the same as an 06.

[@joeypooschke7914]

@@jamiesmo91 yeah I would like to know where the factory settings are how many clicks whether it’s counterclockwise or clockwise. I believe it’s 04-08 I believe mine is the 06 carb model.

[@jamiesmo91]

@joeypooschke7914 Front shocks Rebound 10 clicks out from fully turned in Compression 1 turn out from fully turned in Rear rebound 1 1/2 turns out from fully turned in Compression 11 clicks out from fully turned in. Hope this helps

[@joeypooschke7914]

@@jamiesmo91 I’ll try that, hey thanks 🙏,I live in Oregon and I only ride the Oregon dunes and on the chop I feel like the front shocks are Pogoing. My front the compression is turned all the way counterclockwise. Don’t know about the bottom wanted to try finding a the stock settings before I went in there and really messed with them. Thanks 🙏 again I’ll try this tomorrow.

[@jamiesmo91]

@@joeypooschke7914 no worries mate. I just got rid of my 08 yfz450 and spent ages trying to find the sweet spot for the stock shocks cause I love jumping and too poor for expensive shocks lol. There's a few different settings I found with a quick Google search that others shared that seemed to work okay as well that you may want to look up if the stock settings don't work for you.

[@EthanFriess]

My dad's very old school and he told me to put break fluid in the ignition and just play with the key 😂

[@EthanFriess]

It actually worked 👍🏻

[@jessed757]

Restore the ltz450 next

[@chrismoore1063]

🤘🏼

[@motofarmmx2430]

That's way overdue. Everyone does a change on a new bike after the first ride plus filter. Usually after 1 moto at the track 20 mins. After that I do 4 hours at most on oil filter every other change. Being your speed 4 hours is probably ok but 12 is very excessive.

[@anthonyrickard3010]

🤙🤙

[@Micah_2139]

can we get a OEM counter?

[@nolanmeyer4052]

dawg.... the oil change on the kx is not that hard, please please please do that more often! save yourself a hugs headache in the future by doing really just a few minutes of maintenance

[@BigTree412]

So question ⁉️ is it still like it was back in the day where 4 strokes need to be double the cc to equal a two-stroke power ? When you were shopping you never considered getting a 450 instead of a 250 ?

[@hutchdw77]

A modern 450 four stroke is as fast, and more controllable than a 500 2 stroke.

[@twistedcranknation]

450s are scary fast, and as someone who is still learning to ride, I'd say the 250 is plenty enough for him. I'm restoring a 250 2T myself and I think she's gonna be too much bike for me lol

[@BigTree412]

Ahh makes sense thanks guys .. I need to get a new dirtbike

[@Berm_Blaster]

A 450 4 stroke is equivalent to a 250 2 stroke. A 250 4 stroke is equal to a 125 2 stroke. He said he didn't want to get a 450 because he's new to bikes and wanted to learn on something more controllable. I think he would be fine on a 450 since he's not new to riding.

[@Codyjames83]

NICELY DONE!!!! She's looking sexy 👍 I was wondering about the trailer 🤔 would love to see that build. Maybe a camper garage style would be handy when you go on your trips 👍 love the videos

[@masonfortin4772]

don't really vibe with the black front cover
