Build an lt250r and recreate a 1980s dirtwheels article where they competed against each other. Those two bikes battled and created atv racing, would be cool to see them go at it again, in my opinion. You could even throw the banshee in the mix and it’s 1987 dirtwheels all over again
Just bought a Predator and your video series has helped me so much. Thank you! Now I'm going back and really enjoying watching all of your other builds. Subscribed!
Great Job! I have a 06 Predator original owner! Not the fastest machine! But anyone will have a blast on it! It sat for 10 years in a storage container... needed little work to get it running... works great! Thank you for your videos! I plan to do some work based on your recommendations! I am novice when it comes to working on anything but your videos give me confidence to try! Thanks again! Keep them coming!
Man your channel is the best fr. It's been my dream to own a sport quad and race it either mx or enduro. I'm 39 yrs old I have had a lot of hardships in like others and watching your channel gives me hope. Some day I will get one. Thanks for all your videos and knowledge
Well done man! High quality build and great selection of parts. I love seeing these older quads getting some love! Owned an '01 Warrior back in the day, but had to sell when I joined the military. Watching your videos makes me so nostalgic about my long lost hobby. Hope to get back into it when I have a place to store one.
You did a great job bringing this thing back to life! With that said 6k is a crazy asking price. Prices are out of control, but if you can get it thats awesome for you. not hatin on you. Goodluck and look foward to your future builds love the channel!!!
@@MichaelSabo i agree. Solid machines. You should trail rip an outlaw if u get the chance. Same bike but with independent rear. It was an amazing trail machine. I miss it.
@@OdysseyOffroad i can second that, utility quad smoothness with the lightness of a sport quad is a fantastic combo for anyone who likes to ride rough technical trails
Also by the way Micheal, great video and what an awesome series, I’ve got a predator aswell and I’ve watched and re-watched all of your videos to make sure that mine was up to par. Great help and fantastic vids man! Keep it up!
Awesome build dude enjoyed it..fair price to considering the work that went into it..im definitely looking into the big boar kit for mine now i was worried about heat problems but looks like yours was fine so rock on 🤘😁🤘
Hey @MichaelSabo for the throttle can I order the thumb throttle and motion pro 450 cable and does it fit or do I need to fabricate anything?? Thank you
I think that 4K is a good price to build. Just one thing I noticed. The black rims are scuffed up on the beads. Is that from riding it? You being you. I’m surprised you didn’t paint them. Good build!!👍🏻
Thank you bro; I left the rims alone; that's how they came. If it were a build I was hanging on to longer I'd powder coat them or strip them but I'm ready for the next bike!
Ugggg can anyone tell me where I can find a shifter/ shift lever for an 03 Polaris predator 500 aftermarket or stock. I CANT FIND THEM ANYWHERE. Looks like Michael had an aftermarket one on his predator
Bought a trx 250r this week. Cant figure out rhe year. Cant find a date . Has a grey frame which i ahvent seen before. Anyone have any ideas? The most of the motor and the swing arm was gold. Got painted by someone. I jhst have no idea!!! Please help thanks in advance!!!
Yeah i cant find any numbers. I worked at a shop for 8 years. I was definitely looking for a vin and a 10th digit. Ive seen around 50 or more of these quads , and none of them have the dark grey frame. Ive checked and it is original paint. So o honestly have no clue.
Bro I would so would’ve bought this bike but I just bought a Jeep please do a cannondale build I use to have one and most people haven’t even heard of them. I had a 03 canible 440 bored out. With full fmf exhaust. Was able to hear it from half mile away
@@MichaelSabo there's a guy in Port St. Lucie FL selling a complete but not running one for $1,000 on Facebook if you're interested, John. It's been on there for a few weeks so you should be able to get it for less. If you don't mind making the drive down to Florida haha
The predaterd with the sabo touch... Id love to feel the difference compared to the stock rattle apart predator. Glad to see it go😂. Now come get the smurf!
Shit my cousin Larry will sale you a new looking running example for less than 1k! It'll run great but overheat while not running do to lack of title temp valve.
Bro what the hell happened to those raptors of stupid fast John 😱!!! 686 blew up, 700 lost a wheel🤦🏻.... What blew up on the 686?best get john a ltz 400,he wont blow it up!!!!! Suzuki power💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Yea for sure; I had trouble coming up with the asking price honestly but I do legit think its worth that for a predator enthusiast who watched the series and saw what went into it.
your literally selling this quad and not even gonna do a give away for it … are you kidding me this guys clearly all about the money so much for giving back to your subs lmfao unsubbed 👍🏻
Cry me a fucking river, grow the hell up. U think he has to pay back his subs for spending thousands of dollars on the daily, and then just trying to make his money back. It's called a hobby bud, how often do u see regular people (like sabo) make money off of a hobby, most people break even if there lucky. I mean sure it would be awesome for him to be able to do giveaways of quads or bikes, but sabo doesn't have the millions of subs (that he very well deserves in my opinion) to live off of TH-cam. The fact that u think it's worth unsubscribing for not doing a giveaway makes u a selfish jerk
@@MichaelSabo make some merch and a 2 month dead line or something and see how that does. A lot of car channels have been doing this the past couple years.

You do work on sport utility quads?
I have a lt500r if you wanted to build it. I would be able to pay for parts and labor.

My grand pa has 1 of thes and it is the most tarufing qwad iv ever road and see know in hunting for 1 cass im a engrelin junky and wat to go fast
Nooooo don't sell the Predator!
Seriously, this was a great series. You deserve so many more subs. From one Predator owner to another - Thank you!
That means a lot man; thank you for the love, and if I had the means to, I'd hang on to this quad!
Thank you for representing the Predator Mike! It was an underrated quad for it's time!
I agree; thanks for following the series!
Roads to 100k baby let’s gooo

Post covid pricing.
Hey Mike, where's the KFX been..? Haven't seen it in awhile, wondering how it would stack up to the predator or 660..
Love the quad and this build series man!! I've had good luck with predators in the past. Keep the killer content coming!!!
Thank you for following the series Rob!
Solid machine bro. I always loved the predators. I had a 2006 outlaw brand new and I absolutely loved that machine. I enjoyed the build series.
I appreciate you following along man; I don't see where all the hate comes from on these machines
@@MichaelSabo i agree. Solid machines. You should trail rip an outlaw if u get the chance. Same bike but with independent rear. It was an amazing trail machine. I miss it.

Great job man, been following since you started. I bust your chops about lightening that flywheel but it's your build, your money and nice job.
Awesome Build Mike. How about ltr450r
Thank you Roy; a lot of people are asking for this man; I think it's a great idea
kick ass. would love to see another, red headed step child, oddball build. like a baby Zilla or LT230S, Mojave, Blaster, Raptor 250 etc
Great idea
Oh man, an LT230s; I used to want one of those so bad as a kid; good ideas man!
Also by the way Micheal, great video and what an awesome series, I’ve got a predator aswell and I’ve watched and re-watched all of your videos to make sure that mine was up to par. Great help and fantastic vids man! Keep it up!
Awesome build dude enjoyed it..fair price to considering the work that went into it..im definitely looking into the big boar kit for mine now i was worried about heat problems but looks like yours was fine so rock on 🤘😁🤘
I appreciate it man! I have had no overheating issues with this quad; just make sure it's jetted in correctly and it should be the same for you.
@@MichaelSabo awesome dude.. keep up the good series there awesome to watch 🤘🤘🤘also do u remember what size jets you used?
Keep up the great wk keep those videos coming. Love watching all y’all’s content when I’m at work and my Machine at Boeing is on a long run.
Mike I am dying to see the yz125 build. I think you should do a ltr450 project in the future
I am starting the YZ engine this weekend 🤘 LTR is in the near future
What jetting did you end up going with at the end to get it right ?
Do a ltz 400 next please! 🤘
It's in the cards man; a lot of people are asking for this!
LTZ400 pleasee I’m about to buy one wanna see what’s up
From a bucket of bolts to a rideing Machine💥💯💯💯
Johnny 🤘🤘🤘
Hey @MichaelSabo for the throttle can I order the thumb throttle and motion pro 450 cable and does it fit or do I need to fabricate anything?? Thank you
I think u did an amazing job absolutely love ur build serious and cant wait for next project!!!
Yoo Mike! Is the paint on the banshee still holding up? Thinking of painting mine instead of power coating.
How would you compare the predator to a carbed yfz??
Do u know what shifter it has on it? Looks like its aftermarket.
I think that 4K is a good price to build. Just one thing I noticed. The black rims are scuffed up on the beads. Is that from riding it? You being you. I’m surprised you didn’t paint them. Good build!!👍🏻
Thank you bro; I left the rims alone; that's how they came. If it were a build I was hanging on to longer I'd powder coat them or strip them but I'm ready for the next bike!
Not bad for the rebuild price good video bro and keep up the good work
Thank you David 👊
Did the kfx get sold? If not are you going to do any more videos testing out the ccp stabilizer.
Awesome build as always playboy! A Lt250 would be a cool build
Oh man, that would be a good one; then we can run your R against it 😎
Can’t wait to see the next project man
Thank you for following along with this one!
I boughf one after watching what you have done.
Hope u get ur price bro, well deserved!!!!! Plz consider building a kfx 700 next🙏
Thank you bro! I want to get my hands on a KFX one of these days!
Ugggg can anyone tell me where I can find a shifter/ shift lever for an 03 Polaris predator 500 aftermarket or stock. I CANT FIND THEM ANYWHERE. Looks like Michael had an aftermarket one on his predator
what nerf bars did you put on this thing? sweet machine man
Bought a trx 250r this week. Cant figure out rhe year. Cant find a date . Has a grey frame which i ahvent seen before. Anyone have any ideas? The most of the motor and the swing arm was gold. Got painted by someone. I jhst have no idea!!! Please help thanks in advance!!!
Does it have the vin number somewhere visible?
I hear the 10th digit on the vin can tell you the year. I did that for my brothers pw50 and jr50.
Yeah i cant find any numbers. I worked at a shop for 8 years. I was definitely looking for a vin and a 10th digit. Ive seen around 50 or more of these quads , and none of them have the dark grey frame. Ive checked and it is original paint. So o honestly have no clue.
@@Ya_Boy_Cheech yeah thats weird. But hey im sorry i couldn't help you
@@hardpackmoto i appreciate it. Im fixing to break it completely down , hoping ro find something then.
What if you've got an older quad that needs a wire harness? So far my research has resulted in instead of calling tusk you're about to get the tusk.
Bro I would so would’ve bought this bike but I just bought a Jeep please do a cannondale build I use to have one and most people haven’t even heard of them. I had a 03 canible 440 bored out. With full fmf exhaust. Was able to hear it from half mile away
Hell yea man, congrats on your new Jeep! I may be doing a cannondale soon 🤘
@@MichaelSabo there's a guy in Port St. Lucie FL selling a complete but not running one for $1,000 on Facebook if you're interested, John. It's been on there for a few weeks so you should be able to get it for less. If you don't mind making the drive down to Florida haha
ur funny af holding that mic lol brings back old memories
Hey bro when are you going to start the YZ 125 build? I like anything with an engine between me legs, lol 😆 but I'm really a bike guy at heart.
So we aren’t going to get to see it go against the raptor ? :(
Check out Stupid Fast John's channel; we did a series on the Predator VS the Raptor there; the 2nd episode airs today!
The predaterd with the sabo touch... Id love to feel the difference compared to the stock rattle apart predator. Glad to see it go😂. Now come get the smurf!
Lol it definitely doesn't rattle; it's a tight machine
Awesome vid and edits and filming and bike
You're the man, thank you Conner 👊
Love your vids
Will you ever get a ltz400 on the channel?
Yes, it's inevitable
I've been getting ODI grips, good price and last
Is it 6k or 4k?
6k
4k went into it with the price of the machine and parts and after all of my labor etc I am asking 6k
Dude you definitely need to build a cannondale 440!!!
Didn’t John buy the tires ? He was riding it when they blew
no i was actually on walle when they blew lmao
Weston from DRW blew them 😂 John actually chipped in for the tires since he was riding it for the majority of the time when we were at Badlands
You should do a 300ex custom highly modified
Yes that would be awesome
You should do a riding event in pa
Predaturnkey 👌
Me think you would like predator jacob
good stuff!
Thank you man!
The “rahhtiator” lol
i thought you were going to sing when i saw the mike, mike
😂😂😂
Would love to see an lt250r next!
Should I buy one for 800$ doesn’t run
make the fastest warrior and tune it and everything and race on the dunes with it
I think that quad turned out great Mike! It "was" a piece of junk...
Thank you bro; I'm happy with it too!
I have a 2005 yfz 450 that needs restoration will you rebuild it for me? I would be for ever greatfull .😢
I will pay for everything im not mechanically inclined.
Not worth 6k at all!!
4k for a big bore high comp quad is a steal! If someone wanted to save some money a stock engine build could've been done for cheaper too!
it's 6k bro
True man, if I hadn't gone with as much performance it would have been much cheaper
@@cloudnurdz6331 clearly I was talking about the build price
You should do a Suzuki ltr 450 next please
I want to do an LTR at some point
@@MichaelSabo that will be nice keep making good videos good job
Build a yfz450r next
I have an OG YFZ in the works 😎
@@MichaelSabo nice man but I mean 09+ fuel injection. I'd be cool to see how someone else builds one
Great job on the build! And No hate, but no way I would give 6ķ for a predator
Next Project :LTR 450, Really nice work you've done there. Congratulations and greetings from 🇵🇹
Greetings man! Thank you and I agree, an LTR should be soon!
@@MichaelSabo Massive respect hope u do a full teardown, blessings for you!

Dont sell lol

Thank you Thomas
Damn 6gs for a quad that hurts the wallet. But like you said you know what you're getting.....
Yea for sure; I had trouble coming up with the asking price honestly but I do legit think its worth that for a predator enthusiast who watched the series and saw what went into it.
