there is literally nothing for sale at that price on the east coast. if it is under $2k, its stolen and no title. at least here in S Carolina!
Same in Michigan
Need to look harder I guess. I'm always finding deals and lived in 5 different states. Near Charleston now.
@@kingyankee69 that is where i am.
Same in CT. Usually for sale in the hood. Just bought an 04 last week. Reputable area at least 😅.... We'll see
Same here in the UK wanting retail for shagged bikes especially sunron and pit bikes
A big score: but it wouldn’t have happened without your knowledge, perseverance and hours. Kudos.
I need a dirtbike budget like you, but how my marriage is set up .....😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Obviously jade is a great woman!
@@fordfan6474 she definitely is 💯
We pay for these bikes by watching him
Good Ole JB Weld has been a part of my emergency toolbox kit since the 70's.
Hell yeah, that's a good deal for $600
Its really good deal. In UK you can't buy a frame for 1k. You get 2 😊 how much cost frame with documents?
I don't know really ,I've never bought one ..the other guy that posted the video knows,he buys stuff all the time
He's selling it for 2k with bad rings and needing an oil tank. You should buy it😂
@@tuckerstluka4605 yes I will buy for 2k but ship to UK 🇬🇧 cost other 2k or more 🥹
Dude, you just made $3k on this quad. SoCal market is around $3600. You scored big time!
love watching you work. It's rare to find someone who knows their trade and shows us step by step what is going on. great job. miss those big fields you drive around... all we have in Florida is orange trees
We have more than orange tress depending on where in Florida you're at. Nothing like up North though
Great job as always. Let me give you a tip: to remove the side caps you can use large flat washers as a tool.
or modify an old screwdriver with half flat washer! job done
Fogging for mosquitoes! That thing is putting out more smoke than a Sunday night bingo hall!!!!!!!
I had bought a brand new 660 raptor in 2003. Put a Yoshimura pipe and headers on it. Put a K&N Pro flow air filter kit on it. Jetted the carbs dont remember exactly the size. It was 150-155 or 155 -160. Went up one tooth on front sprocket. Put in a wiseco high compression poston standard bore. AND ALSO A WEBB CAM . Had the head ported and polished and stiffer valve springs 3 angle valve job. We did go with a higher Rev limiter but i can remember what rpms were.And you want to talk about power and fun as hell to ride. That set up sounded good to without being all noise. It was a great set up for a good all around ride and dependability was great. Never blew up or gave problems
The 01 was the worst year for the raptors they were bad about the starter clutch falling apart and granading the motor!!
01 has the bad transmission also
The JB weld fix is a non-fix. It would be a solid rig if that was replaced.
It will be replaced. Just a temporary fix so could test drive it.
Braze the bloody thing up like it should have been done. I could see that for a bush fix but in the garage? Just no!!
@@2vintagehow much is the bike worth now? Only reason i keep asking this is because im in south texas and theres a bunh of fixer uppers lmao
Great videos man, glad I found your channel!
I'm in the process of rebuilding/ restoring my 05 Raptor 660SE. I've already went thru the suspension and replaced all bearings and bushings as well as new rear axle guts. New chain and sprockets. Fixing little things here and there. I was ready to start it and it wouldn't start. Im sure the carbs need a good cleaning. This video really helped me out. I may be writing you back again if I run into issues. I gotta get my baby going again. Bought her new in December 2004, she's been down 3 years. But not much longer.
My fav channel
Great background honking at 18,000 feet.
Yahooooo
Had a 660 back when they came out new. Fun quad to ride. Sold mine after broke my hips and pelvis.
Ouch how long did that take you to recover?
This guy is amazing watching him for years now he is restless keep up the good work buddy one machine at the time great learning experience
That is one thing I have to give him credit for over the years the lil mf is restless & relentless to keep doing this every single day lol even if it is the same routine least he isnt lazy & doesnt give up!
Note to others.. please dont just JBWeld a part on.. just weld it back on... after you clean off the grease and oil thoroughly.
i only would do that if i dont want to keep it...
but i wish i had a aluminuim welder or someone who has one but nobody has so alot of trouble bringing parts to a guy and stuff am not motivated for that
He’s replacing the part so no problem, just wanted to get it going
Don't they make chemically resistant epoxy? I'm asking because I saw someone mention it for a repair inside a carburetor.
Love your videos. have learned a lot about light auto vehicles.
I wouldnt call that a racing quad. Its a recreational riding quad at best.
Nice find, Joe! Find yourself another oil tank and that should make this a bulletproof ride. This thing RIPS!!! Thanks for another great video!
just got news about my YFM 700r is fixed had a problem with no spark broken wire was the culprit all good now but watching your video's helped me loads or as you say helped me a ton keep making these video's pls love what you do
Great pickup keep up the great work 🙏🏻
A great investment would be torches and brazing rod.. you'd be amazed by how many things you would be able to fix right! Nice video Joe
Seller:This is too big of a project
2vintage:does it in a few days
💀
Great deal for 600. I however do not believe I would sell it to someone without a new oil tank. Knowing its just held on with some JB weld putty and selling to someone I don't feel would be correct.
I swear these videos keep me on the edge of my seat! You have to wonder if the seller ever watches and is like… well sh$t! Great job once again!
You could have that oil tank welded.just my 2 cents.
Yes that would be better. I don't have an aluminum welder though.
Are there any welding shops in your area.
I imagine he will get a new oil tank if he sells it. Or he will just go buy a welder . He’s just trying to get it running for now. I’ve been watching him since his first ever video he always makes sure everything is working properly before he sells them. Very good channel idk how he gets these this cheap but amazing channel I love it
@@james-dt4ei I know he will do right before he sells.He does a good job on the machines he fixes.I have built several threewheelers and a quad conversion from parts.I like to watch this kind of content.
Again with the fire uploads
You are so good at working on atvs and I’ve learned and gained confidence just from watching you. Man I wish you lived in ga
Next time instead of JB weld, for aluminum you can use aluminum brazing rods. 12:12
I know it’s thin but I’m sure you can get it to stick, maybe use some scrap aluminum or shavings as a filler as well.
I wondered why he didn’t do that as well. I don’t think the JB is long term. He might have just used it till new cab arrives?
Watch out for second gears dogs going out ! Common issue, Sold mine for 1500 with a bad tranny after second gear dogs got messed up
The trouble with 1st gear may be the small BB at the end shifter bar. My friend lost his when he put a new linkage on. Had pull it apart again. You had to kick the shifter to the left a bit to find 1st.
if you can before the snow or rain put cat litter alot over all oil spots and let sit for a day then sweep up see if it pulls it out it will if you haven tryed to clean and if it has rained then it will be washed in deep
I love that every now and again. Your phone goes off right as you accomplish something so it's like an achievement buzzer
oil leak on driveway use some dawn dish soap and a bit of water. Work it with a push broom. Soak up with old t shirts. That saved my bacon one time.
I had to buy a whole needle and seat kit to get that oring. They didn’t sell it by itself on my bike and it was hard to find. $40 for the kit. I found it on eBay for $20.
Great buy for $600, even if you do not get it running - doubtful - think you can cobble a new one together or use the parts in your vast inventory
Even your dog's telling you to stop reving it why it's a neutral
i agree Here is the best place to learn and understand whats happen.
@2vintage you can fix the white appearance to the rear plastics.
When plastics bend they get white appearance from micro cracks and stretching of the plastic. All you need is a heat gun on high. Hold about 2 to 3 inches from the plasic. Move back and forth along the white line. When you see it start to change. Work small fast circles in the area then move along as it goes back to original color. Basically melting the micro cracks and stretch back together. When it starts to change start moving faster. You dont want to burn the plastics. Then spray when hot with tire shine to give an ultra gloss look. When you get the hang of it please show it on a video. pls thanks
Good tip!
Thanks a good idea
That works to bring the color back but instead of using tire shine clear coat it or the white discoloration will come right back the clear coat helps hold the shine and color longer.
Great work brother
Bit of advice Joe,if you've got oil on your new driveway,pour some dish cleaner on and leave it.
Don't dry blasting it off,oil eats new tarmac.
Great video, always a learning moment. Keep up the hard work
Fantastically done! Won't find a 600 dollar anything here in Atlanta!
Nice job! Great find!
Great find! You did a great job of going over the bike.
This guy taught me a lot now I fix my bike for free cuz of u wish u the best men🤘🏼
For as much money you are making now its awsome to see you get excited still when you find a good deal.
Your one back tire has way more air pressure than the other one. But it does sound good.
Been bugging me too. lol
This is unbelievable how fortunate you get on many of these buys/repairs/flips. The previous owner knew how to take things apart, not tighten the bolts back down, and buy and accumulate parts, but not how to get it running. Hope I he sees this video and learns some stuff, but probably not.
Looks like beans are off. Whatever you do don't drip any gas on that blacktop. Good job on that quad
Great deal. Glad this one worked out in your favor
Would be nice to see a 4cyl sportbike project!
Naw 2 stroke rebuilds is what I’m here for
I love watching your videos man...,they help me get the confidence to rip into toys I find!!!!
Was a big backcountry fan even had a couple until i rode a friends assault. Been sold on them ever since. Dipped into the khaos for 2 seasons and now waiting on another assault they are tough to beat. Btw i knew about the recalls but i didnt tell my sled for 2 seasons but finally broke the news to it in the summer time. Never seen a police officer pulling over recalled sleds lol
Powder laundry detergeant removes oil stains from concrete. Orange citrus degreaser not diluted works too. Cheers!
You did it again my man!!!🇺🇸⭐️
Great result.
I had a 2001 raptor 660 too. Fair warning these are notorious for the transmission blowing apart. Mine granated and split the entire cases front to back and side to side and broke a piece of case out the size of two half dollars. These need the updated 2003 transmissions.
thought the same when when he asked y it was all apart.. than was amazed when it moved in second lol
Joe you got lucky again!!! LIKE CHRISTMAS ISN'T IT ;-)
excellent content Joe, only thing i really miss is seeing Vinnie.
u guys are getting weird with the dog comments
Fr it’s all about vinnie in the comments
Joe, I had an 01 for many years. Built the engine on it due to oil comsumption and I couldn't keep the intake valves adjusted. If you have to tear it down, a couple tips. Get the vesrah stainless intake valves, the titanium ones just tulip and wear out. Also, stick with stock compression or close, the starter clutch on those and the gear it rides on is pretty weak and just can't handle any more compression. They do offer an upgraded gear and billet starter clutch, but they don't last either. Great stuff man, motivates me to fix a few again!!
Rumor is, the supply of broken down bikes and quads are rapidly disappearing in his area. 😆
Nice find!! I would love to see some videos of older mini bikes if you could find some!
New video coming up with an old mini bike.
Not bad compression, mine is up around 200 with the 686 kit on it. Stupid fast n fun Machine.
Also make sure to clean the oil screen connected to bottom oil tank fitting
looks like the chain you bought that was to thick for the dirt bike.
$600. Wow. Wasn’t a very big project at all. Now it’s probably a $3,500 quad.
Not in my opinion it’s a 1000 quad after it’s fixed 660 raptors are JUNK too many issues and handle like a loaded log truck
@@lukecombs5242 Well I guess you’re a friggin expert then.
You can braze that oil tank with nickel bronze rod and a torch. It will hold forever. 45% silver hard solder is even better.
I should’ve bought it. Super simple. Nice job.
That thing is a freakin ripper.. well done Joe.
Think I still got 3 sets of those carbs sitting around in the shop, done a lot of work o. The Raptors, a few of them were just beaten to hell and back and needed more work that owners wanted done , so they're in back covered up for now. Gonna offer them a little for each. Both are without main plastics. They were torn down a ways when they were brought in. One has all peripherals removed, both have aftermarket aluminum oil tanks, so does mine. Be care,she's fast. Enjoy!!
Absolute bargain Brother, Great find :D Needs a front bumper tho' ;)
Are you gonna do any more modern sleds in the winter like late 90’s early 2000’s?
Just got a 660r and was going through your channel for some help on my rebuild. Got it all fixed today 🤘🏾 what spare parts do you have?
gracias, excelente video, bien explicado, saludos desde Sonora!
You scored on this one, Joe!
Excellent video and find
I get so excited every time he post a video😂
Thanks for watching!
Joe, I kinda wish you'd start using that second ramp; like shown today unloading the quad, for you to "WALK" on when you're unloading motorcycles... most of us don't want to see see you in a leg or arm cast in your next video :) Just say'in Buddy :)
Nice score! Do you happen to have a extra blue hood grill cover you'd part with?
MacGyver is alive love all your videos 🎉🎉🎉
How you load the bikes by yourself?
I bought one of these in 2001 brand new for $5800 kept it a year before the transmission started acting up. All the forums were reporting the transmissions were bad. Even having plastic parts in them. So I sold it immediately for $4800 so I basically paid $1000 to ride it for year.
$600 for that that is less then $1 per CC on the bike that is the best killer deal ever ur easily double of not tripple your profit exspecially w parts you have left over you sell them to. Great find wow.
Oil from your hands is not good for approxy decreas strenth !
I like those Yamaha predator, i seen a 2000 Banchee on fb market place for 3500 yesterday, it was up about 10 minutes before it sold.
Miss my Raptor so bad! Starter clutch on those are known to go bad.
I'd put a case saver on the front sprocket. Seems to be what kills a lot of quads when the chain breaks.
Now is Joe's chance to do a full tear down & rebuild like Michael Sabo type sht but will he do it?
He's trying to make money. Not waste it.
Sabo does good builds joe does garbage builds
The discoloration on the fenders you can use a little fire to bring the color back
I’ve owned maybe 7 raptors and they are so easy to work on plus make good power
Hi seems to be the colder weather that causes Electics to fail, plus a weak battery, I got a cover for mine, lets hope for no break downs this time.
Hey Joe, are those the Harbor Freight folding ramps? I just bought some of these and they come soon. Seems like you use yours a good bit and was curious if you’ve had any issues. 600 for that quad is a heck of a deal!
I had a 02' I think? It was the Black on Black edition.. Yamaha 4 wheelers are great in near to stock condition.. I bought it for $1800 in 09' for $1800.. Traded it with cash for 03' 800 REV. I should have kept the Clapter! 😂
Dont forget to put a vent hose on that gas cap also. So you dont get water in the tank again! 😁😂
If you ever feel you're getting a little overloaded with Dirt Bikes, I know someone who will go over there, buy, and take away anything you want to sell. (Caplan Cycles) Vernon, Connecticut. I think he has a huge box truck.
Great score Joe
