- Yamaha Raptor 700 becomes a Nightmare project. Will it ever run?
#yamaha #rebuild #fix
Hey guys, this is a 2007 Yamaha Raptor 700 that I bought off Craigslist for 1800 bucks. It had an unknown issue that the previous owner tried to have fixed at the dealer where they could not find the issue. Knowing what I know now, this would have been a quick diagnosis, but a few years ago, this turned into a major learning experience. I hope you enjoy the video and thank you for watching!

Happy new year guys 🤘 This is a 2007 Yamaha Raptor 700 that I bought off Craigslist for 1800 bucks. It had an unknown issue that the previous owner tried to have fixed at the dealer where they could not find the issue.

Hi there, I have a raptor 700 2006 I have a problem the bike won't start when I try to start it makes a loud bang and sparks out of the exhaust everytime I try to start it can you help
Great job :)
My 09 700 had a similar problem it was the ignition I had gotten some mud fixed it then my kill switch had
The lil spring in side the kill switch on mine had rusted into switched them out and never had a problem ignition and the switch
@@williamyates1315 that could definitely do it too
This guy’s frustration represents everyones struggle when fixing pain in the ass bikes or quads. Much respect to this guy!!
is that an automatic.??
Can't get enough of these project videos
Hope we get to see you on a quad one day
I love that you included all the trials and tribulations you experience during this build. I always get pissed off when I see you guys doing a build and everything goes smoothly we all know that there’s so many frustrated parts that piss us off get frustrated and the fact that you included all those made it so much more real
Yeah. It creates this insanely unrealistic picture for people. All DIY videos can be like that.
I love how you fine tooth comb the entire machine don't leave a bolt broken cross thread bearing shot.. truly a purist.. anyone that gets a machine from you gets quality in quantity!!
Dude this was the funniest thing you have made yet I was dying with the oil I swear this is how everything works out for me it’s never easy lol great video mike it was awesome !
The spark plug and oil was the funniest 🤣
Lol, sometimes that's how it really is; glad you enjoyed the video bro 🤘
@@MichaelSabo it’s unreal lol
Lol I did 5qts of oil in our suv a few years ago. I got distracted by some buddies and a beer and forgot to put the drain plug back in.
I keep coming back to rewatch, its hilarious 😂
This is exactly how projects go. Awesome content! Also love the video length and the fact I can watch the entire project and the parts Shopping in one video. Cheers bud!
I give you props in hanging in there man! It's putting you through ur paces and patience. Only makes you stronger!
absolutely love your videos man! nothin like crackin a cold one, sparking uppand watching your videos these long ones are awesome, keep up the awesome work and i hope for a speedy recovery of your shoulder so you can get back to rippin it soon! take care bro!
Mike, always respect the time and attention to the little details you put into building and rebuilding quads and bikes. Keep the awesome work and videos coming. 👍🏻
I just want to say that the quality of your videos are so great. They are so enjoyable to watch and the little details like screen recording the parts you ordered and taking the time to get the right shot are very noticeable. Great job Mike, Keep it up!
The fact that you’re like the only TH-camr that shows all the frustration and struggles and that things don’t take 2 minutes but instead 3 hours is a main reason I subbed bub haha keep showing the real 🤘🏽
You are by far the best atv channel on youtube. Thanks for the time/effort you put in to these videos
I don’t understand how you don’t have more subs. Your builds are sick. I started watching when you got the banshee because I also had one. I like how you show all of the troubleshooting and mess ups also.
bro thats what im saying. I feel like hes the only youtuber ive found so far who goes super in depth on the build, teaches you things you may not have known, and he knows exactly what hes doing. I also love how long the videos are.
The arc community is growing but slowly . There’s a lot TH-cam communities that we say the same thing but it takes time
El prime example the trucking community there’s was barely videos about trucks now there’s hundreads
Thank you for saying this and for following my builds for so long; I think I'm time I will grow much larger 🤘
Wow I've been watching him for a while too so I just read youre comment and I cant beleive michaels not at 1m at least he is quality
I wanted to see the "Emotional damage so many times with the start attempts. Glad you kept at it
Thanks for being humble enough to post all the slip ups, I’ve been having trouble with some old Honda atc’s and this video really cheered me up and shows what perseverance can do! Great content!
Everyone makes mistakes. Being able to show them makes others realize the trials and tribulations you have to go to get to victory. Great looking, sounding, and running wuad!
I so feel you in the video trying to fiddle with errors in my 2015 fuel injected 350 KTM EXC-F. Love how you do not give up when parts to not fit and just keep modding and going. Awesome video I had so much fun watching!
Good job mike. Taking a walk down memory lane..that shit was funny though when you forgot to put the oil plug-in… you are a master of your craft.
Thanks for revisiting this project! I used your engine rebuild videos as a guide for my own Raptor 700 build, which turned out great! These quads are Beasts when they're built. Mines a 734, w/ big 3 mod, ported head, +1 valves, big cam, +3 TB and dynoed 68 hp / 53 tq on pump gas.
Nice job dude! Been a mechanic for nearly 30 years and there’s always those frustrating moments and areas. You can achieve anything you but your mind too.I know it’s an old video but you just popped up in my feed.
Seriously one of the coolest videos I have seen on TH-cam in a while! Thanks for sharing the whole process to make that Raptor run like a champ! It would be so fun to eventually be able to do everything you did in this video :)
Man dude love these videos, you inspired me to start wrenching on my brothers trx 400ex thats been sitting for like almost 10 yrs!
Dude I didn’t even think you had any other builds yet but you were able to upload 6 OF THEM!?!?! Honestly you need way more subs with the amount of work you put in just for us.
The wise words about not giving up I felt for sure man your videos have definitely helped me out learning. I'm 1 yr into power sports and I'm learning something new everyday.
Hey man. I stumbled on your channel a few days ago from the Banshee build. Just want to say your content is so good. I'm half way through this Raptor 700 "Nightmare" video, and i gotta tell ya this has me on the edge of my seat every time you attempt to start it. Subscribed! 👍
O boy I'm half way through this vlog but even I'm feeling the pressure I'm at the edge of my seat waiting for the Raptor to start 👍🏾🙏🙏
I really enjoyed watching this as it reminds me of my on-going project with my 1999 Yamaha Big Bear 350. Bought it for $1k and it kinda ran, had crap tires and sat outside from 2 owners before me after being driven through a mud puddle. So many issues I am still diagnosing, but honestly that is half the fun and knowing new and good parts are replacing the ever growing bad parts. And it runs really good after diagnosing the electrical demons that plagued it when I picked it up.
Now I really want to get my hands on a Banshee or a Raptor and use it as my fun build.
Long videos are the only vids I watch. Finally something educational with a little comedy. Love your show I subed and give thumbs up to all your episodes.
Love watching your builds man especially the engine builds and I like how you include all the mess ups as well.
Man I love these long builds I hope one day you do like a 08 ltz 400 super cheap cheap to build and it’s the best trail quad I’ve ever owned it’s not the 09 fuel injected but super awsome quad I love it. Great video as always!
I do remember this, I was saying stator Everytime you tried something else. Lol. It just seems like every time I had a Yamaha with an electrical issue it was in relation to the stator. That machine turned out nice but the stuff your doing now is above and beyond by far. Happy New year man
I appreciate that man; happy new year to you too 🤘
I've never owned or ridden a quad, yet I find myself really into watching your channel. It brings back memories of my young self working on my old YZ Yamaha. Keep up the great content. Love it.
only just found you on TH-cam, i have only seen two other vids before this, and really enjoyed,.. but this was epic. so many highs and lows,. But a very happy ending...could be made in to a film. Well done, and thank you for sharing,..
I remember buying my 700. Previous owner blew up the trans. Was a learning experience pulling that thing apart haha.
Imagine working at the place that sells these, only not to be able to repair...
I could hear the angels singing when you fired it up 🤣🤣🤣 I'm still watching this but it's crazy sometimes you go through everything before things work out you have some amazing builds man 💯💪🏾💪🏾♥️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽♥️😎👊🏽💨💨💨💥😊
Just discovered this Chanel will definitely be coming back and watching your videos
Thank you for rescuing this poor Raptor. Anyone who has ever done this before sympathizes with you. To those hacks who molested this poor ATV before you, your day of reckoning isn't going to be pretty.
Great work Mike! You know that rebuild was karma for saying a 700 is better and faster than a built Banshee. (Cringed pretty hard there my dude)
😂😂😂
Same.
You can make it faster
The fact you didn't realize that comment was dripping with sarcasm is staggering lol.
Lmao you can make almost 100hp on a 700 with just the stock bore. A built 700 also has wayy more top end. Done right any 700 would hurt banshee lovers feelings any day
This project is what got me hooked into Sabo's channel. Now I get excited whenever a new Sabo vid drops.
Just found your channel. Really like that you show your mess ups. Ty for the content!
im guessing out of the builds so far the 250r and the raptor have to be at the top of your personal list. after all that struggling with the bike you feel the best to have gotten it fixed.
Awesome video I had a steeder problem with my With my can am renegade 850 It was brand new It kept draining the battery Did dealership pretty much toward Olive park couldn't find anything wrong So they took a brand new one and they watched the voltage meter and that's what was the problem But good blog awesome I love your attention to detail detail your videos are always awesome
Thank you man; yes, sometimes new ones out of the box are bad.
New here and this was my first video of yours. I enjoyed it an learned a lot. Absolutely love that. Subbed right away can’t wait to catch up and follow along.
Wow that was a awesome video, your video popped up in my recommended and I’m happy I clicked. Keep up the hard work. Made sure to subscribe 🤝
My son had a YFZ450, his buddy had the Raptor 700 EFI….both worked with same upgrades, Raptor played catch-up all day, no matter who was riding it. It’s like comparing night and day….. race bike vs fast trail bike…. Just different but the same
I will say; at the drag strip, the correctly modded Raptors are usually amongst the faster bikes.
450s all day.
I was literally happy with you, when you got it to run.
Just found your channel and watched two videos, very impressive work and troubleshooting! I love this kind of stuff.
It's nice to see that some common mistakes happen in the real world! Oil plug left out..spark plug not hooked up..it happens to all of us sometime or another. Way to keep your kool during all of this!
Thanx for the great video!
As a novice mechanic I can relate heavily with your struggles. It seems like every project requires a trip to Lowes and help from my Dad lol.
Be grateful you have your a dad to help.
it will always be that way
Awesome video I enjoyed it alot ,the mishaps, the frustration , I was laughing a few times but im sure happy that you never gave up and fixed it in the end
Persistence pays off I guess!!
100% it does man! I'm glad you enjoyed it; Happy new year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR as well Micheal !!
Hey man, really enjoyed de builds great everything, like the fact that your showing the progress almost step by step, good for learning, the best of luck and keep it koming have a nice one... We love motors year👍💪👌🍀
Man I’ve been there sometimes tearing these bike apart are tough. Keep up the good work
You should try to order parts from Dennis Kirk, don't really ever have problems
Dennis Kirk is great! I've ordered from them many times over the years
Don't think I've ever seen a bearing just drop in that easily lol
I got excited like you did when I cleaned my pilot jet. For the first time ever on my 400 Honda EX and started idling correctly. I was so happy.
Nothing worse than a electrical issue you cant find! Persistence pays of in the end. Great video Mike. Hope your healing well!! Happy new year!
I love the videos the only thing I'd complain about is if you have the cases torn apart why not clean them or paint them? Or the swing arm
costs extra money for little to no gain
@@peytonismyname9258 It costs hardly anything and is way easier when it's apart. It's just mostly time
@@jeremyjones2191 you are not wrong i mean.
That thing came out super clean man!🔥🤙🏼 But I’ve got One question for yah… After all that work you put into it. Why Not clean up or replace the rear brake rotor?
Self cleaning : )
I loved when you threw the handlebars , frustration eraser lol 👍
You don't quit ,good vibe.i have a Buell sb9,wish I could put it up ,make it run
“Statter” -Mike
That's usually Yamaha for ya. Buddy I have and my cousin both complain about issues with Yamaha powersports. Great video tho Mike👍
Thank you man! For the most part they're usually good; inheriting problems are always the most fun to figure out though lol
I had an 01' TTR 125 when i was about 12...rode the hell out of it but mostly as a trail bike ..never had an issue for about 4 years ..then one day the crank nut backed off and shredded the case and that was it.
The only issue I’ve had with Yamahas is that if they are not taken care of or stored outside the electrical is real bad
Can't stand Yamaha anymore tbh. Kinda nice to see I'm not the only one out there that agrees. Yeah they are pretty and cool looking and fun to ride but if you are the one doing the mechanics it sucks ass. Always have problems with my yz250 and newer yz450f. Wristpin cracked on my old 96 yz and ruined the whole motor.
@@jacobseed8434 seems like user error to me lmao
Yo I was happy for you!!! Your face when it first stopped was priceless! A victory non the less!!!! Great job
I watched like 3-4 videos of yours n man I was loving it my dude you get down makes me wnana start workin on bikes n quads all cause if you 💯 keep it up man keep doin what you doin n I also subscribed after Tha 3rd video n I got Tha bell on too so I know when you upload 🤙🏾
I can definitely disagree with you on that the raptor is the fastest quad of all time my cousin just bought a brand new raptor 700 last year I got a full stock banshe and the 700 lost off the line and in top speed. 700 are not as fast as you think they are off the line the banshee is the fastest quad, in top speed the fastest quad is a zill 500 stock.
Banshee is fastest 100% all time stock no matter what
Have you ever tried sunf tires? They're reasonably priced and seem to be holding up well for me. They're like a razor knock off
you making publicity for sun F?
i hope you know a bot stole your comment and is now at the top of the comment section.
I do repairs like this on the side. Mainly for myself and my kids. You walked through the process of troubleshooting and rebuilding as I would have. Awesome video! Subscribed!
Incredible video! You should be at 100k in no time!
Question kind of weird but do you keep something from your bikes after you get rid of them? (Sprocket bars ect) I do lol
Not that weird haha, did that with the cars I used to do; I'd keep the shifters usually.
Michael amazing work man. The outtakes had me rolling.
I'm just getting into quads and plan to do most of the labor myself. Your message at the end is inspiring. By studying the manual videos and advice from someone I trust, I hope to be my own maechanic and to solve the problems myself after diagnosing like you idd with your white 770 nightmare. Keep them coming.
Idk Michel about what you said in the beginning about raptor 700 being the fastest quad even faster then the banshee. Idk man I seen drag banshee vs a drag raptor and the raptor losses. I seen 450s smoke the shi out of 700 and that’s not including a drag setup
Nah man they're faster than R1 cars and 1000cc sport bikes; they did it on discover channel
I’ve seen a lot of your videos I just never subscribed but I did with this one good job I’m happy you got that thing running man thumbs up good work really educational reminds me of how sad I was when my stater Was dead and I replaced it and life just became better again thanks again
Shots fired at the beginning of the video against the other models was hilarious. Nice video!
OH MAN THAT SOUND WHEN IT FIRES UP YOU GOTTA LOVE IT
Awesome work. Just subbed. Always a pain the electrical troubleshooting.
Love to see a700 get some love, I watched your video of changing that crank, crazy to think how long ago that was. Found that video when I was trying to get my 700 riding again, still don't have the trans in it fixed but still dying to ride it again!!!
what a channel. I usually don't watch videos that are an hour long because its too boring but this editing is too good!
I’m sorry but it’s always nice seeing other people struggling on projects. Because I always feel like I’m the only one struggling when seeing yt videos on how to fix things
I like how you got your dad involved a little !
Thank you for the vid I love watching re builds. Keep up the great work
I just happened to stumble upon this video. Great insight on the motor tear down. Just to refresh my memory. I'll be rebuilding 2 different motorcycles this spring. Great job
Amazing video and so on point. Those Stator start-or things have got me more than once. Perfect job explaining and testing. You a patient badass dude!!💯👍
This is the first time watching your video you kick ass awesome job I liked and subscribed keep up the good
It is really nice to see someone doing the job correctly. I do not know how many videos I have watched where mechanics replace the torque wrench with uga duggas.
Good to know I wasn't missing parts when I did my clutch job. Never seen that wire or spring discs in a clutch pack before.
Good luck to you! Hard work and nice rebuild has been done :)
love the content, waiting to see the conclusion of the 660 build was my 1st quad.
So awesome to see you dance after it started, lol. I’ve been there many times. Great job, not giving up!
really great video bro all the best luck and i really enjoy watching your videos
I really enjoy your videos and the way they're made. I'm 65 and hoping one day to get my own machine (no matter its shape) in order to apply everything I've learned from you so far. You definitely love to share your experiences.
Just buy a Honda Fourtrax 300 and have no problems. You can ride all day for cheap and zero worries. I got a pristine 99 Fourtrax for $2200 with zero leaks, drips with probably less than 50 hours. They’re out there, just keep looking. That said. 500cc wheelers have a lot more balls, but a lot less mpg.
Very great work Michael I watch your films all the time great work 👍
just recently became a sub, love the vids im not sure if its dates of vids or length but im getting bombarded with ads
Subbed! Definitely enjoyed this rebuild video. You had plenty of moments that made me lol. These toys are never cheap but it’s always worth it in the end. 🤘🏼
Great work sir!! I can't believe you kept the old rear brake disc, especially after a rear brake rebuild.
Man Michael I subbed to your channel eventough I don't like quads nor 4 strokes. But I like the fact so much, that you take the challenges in your parents home garage and you show your (realtable) mistakes plus some of the throwing and trashing old junk parts cracked me up big time. I know as well editing these vids is a lot of work, you earned that sub my dude. BTW I bet my misters your neghbourhood loves your passion too - lol.
Bro you should open your own shop! Your amazing, so glad I found this channel as I just bought a 2023 Raptor 700rSE
Very nice work bro! I would have never been able to fix that thing but sweet looking quad
Dude you are a great commentator and a even greater mechanic. You have a suscriber for life. Peace
