- I take the first test drive on the $800 Polaris Predator 500 quad after what feels like years of working on it. This quad is powerful. Will it survive? #Polaris, #Predator, #500cc,

The videos are very good you are very hard work
Do you think you’ll ever get another predator
@@GG-cw1er yeah for sure!
can you make a vid where you race this quad to the 650 can am?
*****I posted below also But->((I think I see your problem with flywheel is missing a Allen bolt will cause a jerking motion) 4:00
It’s not a 2vintage video without hearing his phone make that notification noise😂
Reminds me of that one tik tok song. "Whats popping?, don't mind me just watching"🤣
I knew a tapered shaft was held by friction, but I didn't know you could lap them together. This old dog learned a new trick today.
I use that method a lot..
You should use maxima SC1 to shine up your builds when they’re done it’s pretty good stuff
I second that
Is Sc1 like pig spit?
Yessir
@@hennessyremy4970 no lol
@@lucadonorio1815 umm yes it is. U spray the crap on and u wipe it off. and it helps repel dirt and crap. Same thing pig spit does. And I don’t actually mean pig spit. The product name is pig spit
Will some heater company hook my boy up !!!
No
Great Job, Joe.. It looked like a challenge. Glad you actually got it done correctly and didnt give up :) I see you concrete floor is crowned and I can see light from outside gotta be cold wind blowing through put an old towel outside when your working 0:13 I live near Buffalo Ny I know cold also 10 degrees right now
Yeah it was -35 with the wind chill the other day
@@2vintage Ha, so you can throw hot water in the air and it will freeze before it hits the ground, u stay warm & your wife with her Yoga pants- bbbrrr LOL
We remember when you would have put a new seat cover on a machine like that..
Might actually increase it’s value by about $500. It’s really the only terrible looking thing on this machine.
He's come a long way. What are you doin besides criticizing?
@@davidklimmek3192 It's very obvious that you would not understand...
@@jodyhakamaki5602 so dont watch his channel i say. He's learning. Eaay to criticize always
@@davidklimmek3192 cringe
Nice! Glad to see it running and driving!! The issues you ran into are the common issues these quads have. Once fixed though properly they usually don't break again.
Any other common issues you can think of on them? I have a ride coming up in a few weeks and I just found a decent deal on one. Wondering if I'll have time to address it all lol
They make an auxiliary fuel tank made to hang from overhead, keep you from pouring fuel into carb. Motion pro auxiliary fuel tank.
*an
@Ninety Four Moto I. Don’t. Care.
@@landon7114 *I don't care.
@@xfiringsquadx Technically, you are incorrect. There is something called figurative language, and that is figurative language. Try again.
Use a old lawn mowers fuel take .. most likely will have the nipple and then you can add a fuel shut off there’s is plenty of ways he can make one.. I think it’s more of the fact of doing it lol
We usually get the full tune up kits from polaris with filters oil and spark plug. Got 2 on the shelf right now. If the local dealer gets overwhelmed they bring stuff to us here to repair, works out good, get stock parts etc. Best part I get dealer shop labor pay. Nice chunk of change, usually about 140. An hour.
I can't keep up with what bike your working on. Different Every day. Love it. 😊😊🇺🇸
I've usually used a dremel with a scotchbrite mandrel and some cleaning polish to clean em up, seems to work good. It'll clean up good. They usually do.need tight fit 0 movement period. Great job Joe...
You can pin the crank like they do on LS motors with super chargers, put the flywheel on bolt it up with the key in place, then use a drill to drill a hole between the crank and flywheel, use a steel rod in the hole and then peen the edge to hold it in, never move again, I’m glad you got her running though, now we can see you rip it
Awsome job I just picked up an 03 predator for 950 with a spear frame a arms shocks 2 sets of plastics extra head and a lot more put new ball joints and tie rod ends on it and it rides like a brand new quad so happy I bought it had an 04 back in high school brings back so many memories
Those GBC Gators on the back are definitely good snow tires, I bought a set of those in 26-in height on ITP C-Series rims for my 2003 Suzuki Eiger 400 4x4 after I got it stuck in some deep snow and had to leave it behind and have a coworker come help me pull it out of a field. Although I found out in non-snow conditions they were a very rough ride so I tended to only use them during the winter.
Nothing like when you can do your own work instead of letting some of the shops rip you off Hell of labor bill keep it going 💯💪🏿
That exhaust sounds so good!
You have become a decent mechanic over the years of making these videos. Excellent job and that 500 sounds awesome.
I don’t know why, but it drives me crazy to watch you pour gas down the gas line... make a small 1/4-1/2 gallon temporary tank to hook up with a petcock... super easy, and far less of a hassle.
TheCosmicMartian
I've been saying that since may-June ,. Telling him to get a Auxiliary fuel tank instead of the dangerous jug & pipe👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Great comment and hoping that he will get one 💪🏼👍🏼
Glad the valve lapping compound suggestion worked on the flywheel.
the key is just to align the flywheel, the axel is taperd, that holds the flywheel.
Wonder if the starter clutch isn’t causing an issue...sounds like it’s engaging really hard when it stalls
Brilliant video buddy !!
allright man gettin closer every day
Congratulations you went through so much on the bike I knew you will get it running
The key doesn't need to be strong at all all it does is align the flywheel correctly on the crankshaft. The amount of torque that you have on the flywheel nut squeezes the flywheel tight onto the crankshaft. The crankshaft is tapered and that's why it must be torqued to spec according to the service manual that you have. If not torqued to spec, or if anything is distorting the proper seating position of the flywheel to the crankshaft, it will shear the key.
I mean it still needs to be pretty strong shear strength.
@@M.TTT. Its not designed to be sheared what so ever if the flywheel nut comes loose the key is not designed to withstand
Let me rephrase that the key should be weak because if the flywheel nut happens to come loose it shears the key you don't want a strong key there because it will ruin the crankshaft
Like I said before the key is not designed to hold the flywheel from turning on the crankshaft it's only designed to "place" the flywheel in the correctly times position on the crankshaft
There's no point in having a strong key besides if you did it will fuck up the crankshaft
Get yourself a flexible metal oven stove pipe to put over the exhaust and out the window aluminum tape on the muffler
Super awesome Bro. Trade you my 2001 Polaris Scrambler 500HO 4x4, runs great already with no issues lol Seriously, im really glad she is running good now. You stuck with it and got yourself a great score now!
So glad you figured this out..
Thx Google and people that have been through this before.
Now remember your riding in cold weather engine temp may not get warm enough to trigger the fan relay .
I can’t even ride my rmz450 in the cold, it doesn’t even get close to operating temp. I live in Wisconsin as well. The coolant temp never even got to 100F. I’d need to buy a thermobob thermostat that people use on the snow bikes
I’d just like to say, watching your videos was what motivated me to do a lifter and cam replacement in my 2008 Silverado. Same thing, just a bit larger scale! Keep it up man, I love your channel!
I would never put that much effort into getting a Polaris but nice hustle getting it running again
predators have a grease fitting at the top front steering shaft that you gotta grease also
love your vids keep up the good work
love the videos bro, not going lie when she shut off first time i thought it broke key way again, so glad to see this predator running finally broski
Yeah same here
Always check your rubbers for holes
It looked like he didn’t put the flywheel bearings back on? I’m sure he did but didn’t show it put the flywheel back on with the key without the bearings
I said the same thing
Love these builds your patience with this build is insane I woulda bombed this quad if I had to this same build😭
But you know what he is now a expert on this engine lol and so are the people watching 👀
@@jaredpratt9733 yeah you’re right maybe I should learn to be as patient as this guy
This guy makes a lot of money off of impatient people like you! Definitely looks frustrating though.
@@lucadonorio1815 100% patients is a virtue.
Cam chain is slapping bad
Did a good job Joe.. keeping with it and not giving up deserves 👏👏
I love it brother ,, I am glad that in the end it works, you know? .. I live in Spain ,, Mallorca, and here it is very rare to see Quads, I have a polaris autlow 500 and I like to do everything, you have bought very cheap, here or in I can buy my best dreams at that price, mine costs around 6000 dollars if I wanted to sell it, there is a lot of difference .. thanks for making these videos, because I can learn a lot, I wish there was more Quads culture here, Greetings I will follow your videos brother, sorry for my bad English ..
Got my cuppa, ready to watch this
I watch alot of ur vids and ibdont comment much on youtube but i gotta say nice job bro
Love the videos keep up the good work and don't care about the heaters they are
If my understanding is correct, the interface between the flywheel and crankshaft end is bot correct if you can simply pull the flywheel by hand after removing the nut. Your crankshaft end is tapered and the fitment between the crank and flywheel should be very precise and tight... you should have to hit the end of your crankshaft to shock the flywheel off. The key is for alignment purposes ONLY. It should bot be bearing the force of the crankshaft to the flywheel.
You dont hit the crank. EVER. You use a 10$ puller 🙄
awesome video
Its amazing that to see you pour gas down a fuel line. I would use a coke bottle or a old lawnmower gas tank. I have a test bottle.
No mistaking that pred sound :)
The legend is back again 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Wipe that white oil out of the filter housing before installing the new filter
Someone buy this guy a pressure washer
I have one, it's just too cold to use right now
@A E lemme know when u wanna pressure wash below freezing lol
@@M.TTT. pretty sure he doesn't clean anything before working on it..even when it wasn't freezing out
@@AE-hl5ey eh way she goes mate, not every bike is worthy of a bath immediately, gonna get it dirty again anyway. Does make for good "satisfying content" tho ye
Maybe should install that needle bearing though....
only bad thing about the Predator motor is you have to tear the entire engine apart and crack the cases in half to change the water pump seal.
Every sport atv has there week points like the 400 ex If go to put a bigger piston the head bolts will strip that's way people recommend getting head studs while you upgrade the piston every quad has there week pont
It would also help to torque that flywheel nut to it’s proper spec.
Good n tight is good enough 😂
Dude you should do a couple video where you kit out your workshop with a few mod cons maybe?
Great job! You hung in there, went the distance!!
Another great fix for cheap good job sounds good 🤙🏻 minor fix’s but nonetheless Joe you got it running again💪🏻
The reason why the oil is that color is because There was water in the crank case you know this.. It's going to take more than one oil changed to clear that up..
Yeah i agree but the pump seal is a cheap whocares part just to make shur
@@RT-vo2vh Absolutely... But with water in the case you have to change your oil several times.. Probably 10 times in the 1st 200 miles.. Crank bearings don't like water..
@@jodyhakamaki5602 yeeet
You can always cut the crank a bit deeper a put a bigger key in it, it might need a bigger key from factory.
I saw you're machine on the marketplace today. I just bought one shortly before you and mines pretty rough as well. I would not recommend anyone buy a Pred or Outlaw, its nearly impossible to get parts for these things now a days.
I have the same problem too. These things are way too expensive to own.
yea buy a honda, it'll actually run and has a soul. Pooplaris don't
You're wrong. Parts are EVERYWHERE for these, its litteraly the age of the internet smfh.. Stop spreading false information.
@@codyweien4513 Used parts maybe, post a hyperlink to a website that has every OEM part available. I'll wait.
@@mmmrrrmmmiiikkkeee Ohh, yeah the aftermarket support for these has always been very limited. I agree. Kinda stuck between Cannondale 440 and bombardier ds650 lol
love watching these, learn something new every time i watch this. i rebuilt the top end on my warrior 350 just from watching these seeing how to take stuff apart anyways keep it up man
That thing looks sweet man 👍
Shes sounds really good.
I love the preds. I got 3 of them.
that one carb is basically an exact copy of a raptor carb
The exhaust cam needs to be advanced one tooth clockwise. The diagram in the book should show that. There is a shop manual pdf online you can use also. Your one way gear sounds like crap. It should never kick back when it shuts down. Oneway gear. Check ebay. New ones can be expensive.
U didn't put that one bearing to the fly wheel Back.
*you
@@landon7114 ?
@@aatutoivanen4117 You put “u” and not “you”, and that makes you stupid.
@@landon7114 what is wrong with u. Me and many else uses u as you.
@@landon7114 this make u stupid not him **you🤣 it's the same shit bro
Cheaper metal key probablt will break again if she makes some good power good luck i love the channel
I just cut a deeper groove so I can fit a box key not a half moon
When you get this thing to 100% you should get a Polaris outlaw 525 and race the two it would be a amazing video.
You need to get like a polaris ranger
AYYY YOU USED THE HARBOR FREIGHT KEYS, I talked about them in your last video idk if you saw that, love the stuff man keep it up!
Yeah they worked out great! Perfect fit!
ah yeah, I'm surprised they would be good enough or strong enough, may have to grab one of those kits. How much have you used them?
@@M.TTT. I've used em a good amount of times on some engines that I've pulled apart and put back together. Haven't had any problems with them yet. I'm pretty impressed that you can get an assortment of different size keys for under 10 bucks lol
predator's are great underated quads love mine
I agree man. Mine is a 560 big bore drag bike
@@codyweien4513 could we talk .I'd really like to hear what u have done to motor . I can't seem to find very many aftermarket parts.
@@mikewisher4083 go to www.AAENperformance.com, they have everything you need. Or Nikolas racing, those are the two best companys for predators. Mine has big bore jug with wiseco 13.1 compression, AAEN cams, vortex dual map cdi, white bros ceramic exhaust, full drag port and polish, KW valves. I dont know of anyone who still sells stroker cranks for them.
You should get bauer propane heater they work.good
My favorite channel!
Hell yeah Harbor freight for the win
Be sure to keep fresh pieces of cardboard under that perfection.
She leakin bad Cuz....
#mintyandmilky
Easy greasy. Don't see ya rehabbing any old machines. Ur eating chips behind ur keyboard.
it becuase he took the fly wheel cover off that holds the oil in
Awesome dude!! I have a 2005 Polaris Predator 500, complete fox coil overs, rath racing suspension and lowering kit, etc. It's nasty and used to be raced, was the fastest in the area. Need to get an engine for it.
nice job joe! she needs a little TLC. LOL
Impressive work and great patience
09 :00 you forgot to put the bering before installing flywheel 😁
Almost at 200k holy crap
You should get a fuel tank for a small engine, like a predator or briggs and use it as a testing fuel tank.
The backfire breaking key doesn't make much sense. Mine use to backfire like shot gun every time you let off throttle. But the lapping fly wheel to crank makes sense because key broke and spun on crank..
Well done getting it running.
Can I sudgest, use a lawnmower or other small fuel tank suspended above the engine so you sont have to keep filling a pipe with fuel from a jug. It would only take a slip, or you cough and move the jug while pouring fuel and it can splash onto a hot exhaust and start a fire. Just thinking of the safety of it and you not getting burnt. If you watch Jennies Garage, he uses a tank suspended, Mustie 1 uses a bottle suspended. A tank with a good petcock and a pipe would be great suspended from a roof rafter or on a home made pole stand. :)
Killing it, Love watching your videos my dude, enjoyed watching you and your brother ripping up the roads, you should do it again with all the quadbikes.
Find a route or track to take them all round and time yourselves
theres also another grease fitting on the steering stem bushing as well
has to be cold in there lol
Here in Ohio we get 20s & 30a during late Dec /Jan/ Feb /early Mar...we equipped for it . Most of us love the seasons an beauty. Esp you got 3 quads like me & my son + he has sweet '20 Ranger FX4 truck added fox 2.0 shocks it's very cool 4wd rig. I roll lifted F150 Lariat FX4 on 33" tires Icon shocks. Ford is like the Yamaha of trucks all around best!
Awesome video as always
you kick off any problem good job mate Portugal follow you on vintage machines :)
lets pull off this bearing we don't want to get it dirty "gently removes bearing and lays on the floor lmao"
I hope this pos won’t deter you from working on more predators, when dialed in correct they rip
haha it is definitely testing my patience. I'm sure an all stock one that wasn't messed with would be just fine. This one is just a mystery.
They might rip but they are all junk. Polaris is junk 😂. Js
We have t seen Minty Jade in awhile. I hope all is well.
500 cc its a bad boy.
Seen ur post on CL lol I knew that polaris looked familiar 😂
PS love your channel have been watching you for years awesome content
I did the same with my raptor 660 hf is a life saver
YOU ARE SUCH A G. Congrats
Might smooth out the idle by using higher octane fuel. Predators have high compression for stock engines
That diaphragm is for the choke joe it’s not an accelerator pump 🤣
did you watch this to learn or laugh?
@@mikegardin3393 to laugh of course
That classic ringstone
