Pretty critical step I forgot to mention but in most cases it's necessary to put a thin film of antiseize on stainless fasteners with nylock bolts. Stainless steel is a softer metal and the threads can gall and seize. My mistake in not mentioning that!! You guys rock and thank you for watching 🤘
O YEA OLD SCHOOL 250R. Back in the day the most beautiful site. 91 say to 02 ATV NATIONAL'S & seeing all the 250Rs there. But I'm old school. Wick on ✊ Sabo that is a very beautiful Bad Ass site
Brother, watching this has got me eager to starting the restoration projects of my two 1986 TRX250R machines. One is running and the second needs some transmission work done and is completely stripped to the bare frame. I will be subscribing.
@@MichaelSabo Thank you sir. I was wondering if you are going to post a parts list for your build? I would like to restore my to stock, but I would like to use modern suspension. I know the part are rare and hard to find.
Hey Mike a small tip on your swing arm if you are interested. You could drill a hole the size of a grease gun fitting towards the center bottom of the swing arm. This will allow you to grease your carrier bearing with out having to remove your axle. I hope this helps! Your build is looking awesome!!
Dude thats an ingenious idea, but the problem is that its a cam style carrier, so to adjust it, you need to spin the carrier, so the grease zerk does not have a fixed position.
Michael Sabo, you are right about the Carrier having a cam lobe style. How ever the carrier is also used to loosen and tighten your chain. Once you loosen the 4 bolt on the carrier you use the tool provided to rotate the carrier forward remove the chain off the rear sprocket, then rotate carrier back towards the designated hole made to grease your bearings. This sounds like it may be a long process but its really not. With all the jumps you will be making you will be having to tighten your chain quite often.
I am also in he process of building my "88" TRX and updating my "86" TRX!! Your info on TRX parts and products are making things so much easier form me!! Thank again and looking forward to your finished TRX!
Bro!!!! That’s sick. I was about to go cut grass but had to stop so I could see the video. Great content as always, that thing is BEAUTIFUL and it’s not even done. Can’t wait. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A little tip when pressing parts with a benchvise cover the jaws so you don't mar parts and pieces. This is my #1 favorite build on YT. Thanks bro this thing is gonna rock.
you building this R from the ground up is the most beautiful thing ive ever witnessed lmao . i do wish i could be there for the first ride brake in to see your face when you feel the power and handling of that monster
Hey man thanks for the 250r build vids. You got me feeling nostalgic, so I pulled out my ‘88 this morning and tore it all down while watching you wrench on yours. Don’t know that I’ll go long travel but hopefully it will almost as gnarly as yours.
Dude the color combination with those fox shocks look sick you had me laughing when you started reading the instructions for the shocks just like a kid in a toy store 🤣keep up the great work ✌
sick TRX Mick starting to look hectic bro can't wait until she's completely done and running its such a unique build ONE OF A KIND Thats for sure TENFOLD
Mike in the slits at the rear of the swingarm use RTV there. And you should have lubed the outside of the carrier as well that's how they came from the factory.
Not saying you’re guaranteed to have a problem but whenever using nylocks with stainless hardware I’ve always been told to use vasoline because stainless hardware loves to gall the threads when being tightened, especially when using any type of locknut.
Currently trying to refresh an Atc 250r and I’m having troubles finding new old stock parts. Only thing keeping me going is the fact that once it’s done it’s gonna be beautiful. They’re rare in Minnesota so me and my dad drove to California for it but it needs plastics brakes fork seals and boots and many other parts.
I just came in from rip n my r for about 2 hrs. Mine has reworked 450 shocks up front and fresh stocker on rear. I'm so envious of ur suspension. It's gonna b awesome. I love watch n this build👍🏻
Looks good you’ll love the long travel fronts. Got it for my banshee night and day difference. And as far as the stainless hardware goes, anti seize is your friend. Especially a bike that’ll be flying.
Put some anti seize on the carrier, a arm bolts, pivot bolts, axle, and ball joint/ tie rod ends. Not on threads just helps movement and future maintenance
wow, it's so cool what you can do with those things and how precise you get every thing and it really shows. You somehow take the stuff that already looks insane and manage to make it Iook even better. That's what makes all of your stuff stand out and why l think you are the best youtuber l've ever watched
Dude.....talk about visual ecstasy! This was just the video I needed to watch today. Long time follower/stalker in the shadow - first time commenting. She’s looking fuckin sweet brother 👌🏼 I’ve enjoyed the whole build so far and can’t wait to see her rip
Mike that linkage bolt on the swing arm, it requires a special bolt. One from a 450r will work. It’s an Allen head bolt with a double O-Rings seal. I have some if you need one.
It’s coming along for sure bro can’t wait to see the quad all done and I got SSS suspension out somewhere in the US smh this corona had screwed up delivery services and then they are like oh just wait we will find it or it will show up I just wanna reach through the phone on them haha channel will kick off when all suspension gets here every thing else has made it see you on the next one 👊
My favorite shock right there. The Trx250r community frown on them but your gonna love them! They are awesome they are like riding on a cloud. I’ve ran all different brands and the float 3’s always feel the best. PEP is a close runner up but the people who deal with them to get the proper set up are very difficult to deal with imo. Also roll design will never tell you to get these fox shocks. They have a deal with Elka. They will always tell you to get stage 5’s. Very rarely will they advise the fox.
Hey Sabo remember when I had asked about the 400ex spindle swap? Well as I was watching this vid I was thinking if down the road you wanted to do that I bet you could probably just get different homes for your roll design a arms just a thought of course that’s easy for me to say not having to dish out the dough for them love the build love the channel keep up the great work bud 👍👍👍👍👍👌🏻👌🏻
Yes, I remember man; perhaps down the road I will do that but I have a feeling this is going to be amazing to me no matter what; I've never ridden a quad this set up before.
next time for the front bolt on your a arms . put the nut behind the bumper . that way the wrench goes there and the impact in the back with out having to take the bumper off . just takes that step out
Good call; I literally stared at it for like 5 minutes deciding if I should do that but I wanted all of the allen heads facing forward for the clean look.
I know this is a old video but I’m thinking about getting started on my 88 and was wondering what the shock length was of your fox floats? My reasoning is I have a spare set that’s 19” and some change I was wondering if they would work with the plus 3 arms.
I guess the video answers my question but does the aftermarket axle bearing carrier require o-rings /seals in the mid area? Great video, trying to put my old R back together by memory!, Lol Very helpful, thank you!
This quads been trying to do mine 100% but shit get expensive n been down for way too long gettn by duncan racing eng in it finally was wonderfull feeling any chance I can get a close up look of electric on front half and clutch n throttle cable routing if u can thanks sweet build
NPM better get ready . it looks like their about to be flooded with 250r orders lol i got my front brake cover so far cant wait to get more . will they make the parts if they sold out ?

I really like that anti fade lock but. That’s a sweet design for the 250r.

Thats a great call man; I am going to pull it and do this
Starting to look like a bike keep up the beast work
Thank you Lige Murray!

Thank you shawn patt!

It's 100% true. It's a critical step I forgot to mention; thank you for pointing this out
I live for these videos man
I live for the comments; thank you for watching bro!
Great build, can’t wait to see it finished!
I love re watching these vids. Love this channel

Thank you bro; it's going to be cool to experience it; first for me
I like watching all your videos you’re in a lot learned a lot
Looks good you’ll love the long travel fronts. Got it for my banshee night and day difference. And as far as the stainless hardware goes, anti seize is your friend. Especially a bike that’ll be flying.
Great call on the anti seize man; I forgot to mention this.
Awesome video !!! So glad to see people still build an ride these machines . I plan on looking for a two stroke soon !!
I'm lovin this! Thanks Mike.
Jim Madonna thank you for watching! 🤘
awesome video Michael as always looking good cant wait to see this finished
Can’t wait to watch all of this
tech Man thank you for watching! 🤘

Put some anti seize on the carrier, a arm bolts, pivot bolts, axle, and ball joint/ tie rod ends. Not on threads just helps movement and future maintenance
This is a really good call man; thank you for mentioning this
Awesome video!! The 250r is looking straight 🔥🔥 so far!! Can’t wait to see it when it’s done!
Thank you bro! 🤘
its good to see youre using lock tight on everything . if anything can come loose it will . i run lock tight and double nuts on everything .
Hell ya looking sick \m/ 👍
Thank you bro! 🤘

Wow, thank you so much man; this comment just made my day!
Great job Mike. I hope the aluminum bearing you created isn't too soft. A lot of force will be trying to mash it.
Leo, that's a good call; I was thinking the same thing so I will be monitoring it and if it wears, I will make one out of steel and replace it!
Dude.....talk about visual ecstasy! This was just the video I needed to watch today. Long time follower/stalker in the shadow - first time commenting. She’s looking fuckin sweet brother 👌🏼 I’ve enjoyed the whole build so far and can’t wait to see her rip

just a tip i have clear vinyl all over the front end of my quad to protect all of the fresh powder and a arms

So many dope components & good job on machining that part. High 5 playboy
Hell yea Tac, let's see if it's bulletproof when I'm done
I can’t wait to see it on the ground man , it’s about time ...
Mike might be the guy who gonna have to get my ktm quad running the right way if I'm gonna keep it.
I'd love to get my hands on one of the KTM quads sometime bro

one day you will have so many sponsors you'll be able to build one of these practically free
That would be amazing man; I would love to get to this point and do give aways with the builds
Sweet
I hate TH-cam's notifications, I was going through my Instagram and saw on Instagram that you posted.
Ah man, I hate hearing this; make sure the bell is checked next to subscribe. It seems like a lot of people have the same problem.
@@MichaelSabo I had re-subscribe. Not sure what YT is up to.
Mike great build. Question..why did you go with 2 different brands suspension? Fox/Elka
I wanted to run the floats no matter what and unfortunately Fox no longer makes a rear shock; so I chose Elka for the rear.
@@MichaelSabo thanks for the info on the fox shock. I didn't know that. Keep up the great builds.
NEED MORE NOWWWW!!! You got me addicted man. Great Vids Keep It Going
Thank you so much man! More videos to come!
Before install it can you weigh the drw skid plate? Just wonder how light it is.
Yes; I am making a note and will have it in the video when I install it.
@@MichaelSabo thats great thank you. That skid plate looks really nice.
Nice looking bike man I’d be creaming in my jeans being able to have brand new parts I couldn’t even imagine
Thank you Keith, it's definitely a great feeling!
next time for the front bolt on your a arms . put the nut behind the bumper . that way the wrench goes there and the impact in the back with out having to take the bumper off . just takes that step out
Good call; I literally stared at it for like 5 minutes deciding if I should do that but I wanted all of the allen heads facing forward for the clean look.
Hey Michael was wondering where you got the desert tan plastic? Thanks
I know this is a old video but I’m thinking about getting started on my 88 and was wondering what the shock length was of your fox floats? My reasoning is I have a spare set that’s 19” and some change I was wondering if they would work with the plus 3 arms.
I guess the video answers my question but does the aftermarket axle bearing carrier require o-rings /seals in the mid area? Great video, trying to put my old R back together by memory!, Lol Very helpful, thank you!
Wouldnt the elka rear shock work better and give you more clearance with a elka rear dual linkage?!
I'm not sure if Elka still makes linkage for the 250R but yes it would be better.
What size was that socket you used for the steering bearing ?
It was a 30 or 32mm
Thanks
This quads been trying to do mine 100% but shit get expensive n been down for way too long gettn by duncan racing eng in it finally was wonderfull feeling any chance I can get a close up look of electric on front half and clutch n throttle cable routing if u can thanks sweet build
NPM better get ready . it looks like their about to be flooded with 250r orders lol i got my front brake cover so far cant wait to get more . will they make the parts if they sold out ?
You'll have to DM them or call them. I know they do runs of certain parts but they can make anything.
