Mike I love how you take these older machines and bring them back to life. This series is gona be great 2 great quads you and john.keep it up man. These series rock!
My friends dad bought the first production year, I believe was '03. He bought it new, and I remember how awesome it was to ride out. I had a 300EX at the time, and the Predator had so much power. I was about 120lbs at the time, I could barely hold on to it. It was so fun.
My first small engine rebuild was on my buddy’s 03 or 04 Polaris 500 back in 2014 or 2015. It was fun to rebuild and I can’t wait to watch someone else do it!
Excellent buy dude!!! These things are pretty reliable! Had mine for 6 years and i rode EVERYDAY in summer. Atv is the #1 transportation here in summer so i drove mine to work at Polaris everyday !
Your predator story was pretty funny mike haha. I test rode one in December of last year a few days before I bought my YFZ450. It had a Full DMC system, the fancy aluminum airbox setup that was all the rage back in the day, +2 arms, +1 or 2 axle, some bling. I remember thinking, "this is kind of clapped, a little janky, but if it hauls ass on the test ride, I'm buying it". Took it up the street expecting a monster, could barely get the front end up in 3rd. Had decent grunt but mid-top end just wasn't there. I'm sure it would've worked out alright but the difference in power between the Pred and my YFZ is very noticeable.
Hmm, I'm hearing from a lot of people that they're monsters but it's all a matter of opinion; I will be doing a considerable amount of motor work to this one and I am going to focus on flow to see if I can open up the upper RPMs; that seems to be where these suffer.
I've never ridden a Predator but I think they look mean. This 1 here looks like it has a wide stance, so I bet it hooks without ease. Well Sabo your going to have your hands full and no time to waste with this so GOOD LUCK bud you'll need it. SAVE the SPORT QUADS 👍🏻
I have a 2005 predator 500. Have a FMF Q4 exhaust. Stock header flows just as good as a after market one. Also have a K&N filter. She definitely is a ripper! Can 2nd gear wheelie up Oldsmobile Hill at Glamis!
We need full build series on these awesome basket cases you keep buying Mike! I think you guys are putting to much of a time crunch on yourselves for these competitions! Love seeing projects like this come back to life! Remember wrenching is half the fun 🤘🏼
As I was watching you travel to the buy, I was like man this looks familiar. That's where I live practically, 15 minutes from where you bought that. Love the series and builds coming from it man.
You’re a brave man mike! I have never really heard anything good about Polaris quads, I’m looking forward to seeing you put your touch on it and see how she turns out
My buddy rode one for years while I was riding my old Tecate 3 and 400ex. BEWARE, THE FRONT END IS LIGHT. It’s an awesome machine, and I followed him in my car at almost 85mph and all he had was an exhaust, filter, and jetted quad. They take turns super super nice, BUT... be careful launching, they don’t do well with launches, the front end will 12 o’clock SUPER EASY. Now, once you start riding it you might actually like it. It will definitely pull on a raptor 660 for sure, and he kinda embarrassed a few 450s. They will do a lot better with some better shocks, and you don’t have to do much to the motor, just do an exhaust, after market intake, and jet the carb.
This sounds awesome dude! I had the feeling it was a wheelie machine from the short stance; chances are I will love this quad because that's how the 400ex is and they're so much fun to ride.
@@MichaelSabo I talked to my buddy last night about your video and he said to let you know they also are a little finicky and you got to spend a little extra time on the carb, and he had some issues with how wide it was in the trails so some body English and line selection is important. He is going to check out your build because he is sick over selling it and wants to get another one.
Those kenda bear claws are great!! I had that same size on my 2002 honda recon. They were great In the mud and drifted perfect in dry conditions. Totally keep them!
Hi. Mike excellent videos and projects. I have a Polaris Predator 500 and I changed the rear bearings but it didn't fit all the way. I have reviewed and searched for videos but no luck. It is possible that you can help me in some way. Thanks
I loved my predator had the motor built with hi comp piston and hot cams not much other that could hang with it power wise on a track the handling wasn't as good as 450s but power was definitely better check the head well the are notorious from bad heads
low end power on a pred is amazing, very easy to do wheelies on. top end is not there, very good for coming out of corners but that's about it. good luck.
I had one they had a starting clutch issue mine sheared the woodruff key and bolts and when you back that nut off to fix it and put it back after that it’ll keep shearing them but the DG R.A.C.E exhaust sounds good on them
hey mike currently looking at an 06 predator. it smokes on decel i was curious if it was maybe the rings or the valve seals. it’s got a ported/polished head, jetted, pipe, ect. thanks!
I bought an 03 for a cool $1,000. Guy said it wouldnt start so we took it home and threw gas in it and it fired right up. Strong bike too has stage 2 cams, uni air filter and an HMF exhaust. My brothers got an LTZ400 and its got some upgrades (same as my bike) but my preddy can keep up pretty well, only thing that limits it is my ability. The suspensions waaayyyyy better too.
u gotta pelace that grab bar and please put a nice bumper on this one i loved the 400ex but was disappointed u didnt put a front bumper on it so hope u do this one some justice
I used to ride with a group of guys here in Ky. One of them had a 660 and one had a Predator. Both fairly new at the time. They drag raced often. Always seemed to go to the one who got the jump. The Predator was faster on the fast trails though.
$500 is a great deal for a 2007 even if the motor is blown. I'm praying your crank bearings are still good. Finding new ones are like finding a needle in a haystack! Be careful ordering front end parts for the 2007 all steering components are different! Even the a-arms.
Wish I could post a picture to the comments, I had a pretty tricked out 06 predator. It was snappy and pretty sick with full flight a-arms and plus one rear axle, upgrades fox shocks. Rath header to hmf exhaust.
My brother had a predator back in the day with exhaust and a k&n filter and that quad would fly. I was mad when he sold it. The predator is the fastest atv ive ever rode besides a Banshee
@@shawndunn4285 preferably an engine rebuilt or maybe even transmission if possible. theyre super complicated to work on and no atv places will fix them without charging a fortune.
Nice buy dude. Keep the bear claws tho.. you won't be disappointed. I have them on my 660r. On hard pack dry shit they aren't so great but anything other than that damn dude they hook up. Keep em and good luck with that against John's 660. You got your work cut out for you.
I'm hearing some good stuff about the claws! I already switched them out for what we're going to be doing but I am hanging on to them for a future series!
Great deal bro and I've built a cpl n predators bored and polished and they will RIP , beware under the gas tank when you get them up in torque snaps ALL THE TIME so frame gussets will save you heart break lol
The grip man, seroously.. try the bearclaws in a drag race or hillclimbing. Seriously give them a shot, the 400ex wouldnt be spinning as much at higher speeds, theyre great for hydroplaning too, ive hydro'd a 250 mojave alot with these as a teen but that was almost to short and underpowered of a quad for that.
I bought mine for 400 so I still remain the cheapest 💪 but I’m not lying when I say I have put 1300 dollars in parts in that 4 wheeler but now it’s great and I love it
Hey man I have a question when you start doing the motor work can you focus a video on the motor particularly? there's not a lot of videos on TH-cam of problems with these and I have a top end noise and 4 shops tell me it's nothing to worry about im curious to see how yours turns out.
I have owned a ton of predators. Have my original 03 and 04. If they are not clapped they have tons of power. You picked the most expensive one to work on and get parts for mike! 😀. Doug Nicholas for big power 👍🏻
I like the preditor look but my Frends dad has a Predator that’s got an extended swing arm custom plastics that are custom molded with a fancy paint job ostrich leather seat and it’s got a 650 ninja it’s crazy custom and it’s done so perfect it’s an amazing looking bike and it makes enough power to keep up with 400 and 450s in the sand and he doesn’t use pattles and every one else dose
Its been too long since we had a sabo engine build video bro! Hope u film the motor part of this project at least. And they do rip! U guys may be neck and neck on this one. Deff helluva deal, only crazy people would pass that up!!!
I won a C class GNCC championship on a stock Predator. Probably the most reliable machine I ever owned. Put an IMS oversized tank on it so it doesn’t rub your knees raw with the goofy stock plastic design.
I definitely would have waited till you could of found the outlaw 525!! Better motor than the predators, but its ktm! I had one brand new in 06 when they came out. And it lasted 2 yrs split the head in half sold it immediately!!!!other than that it was ok. First quad I had was a 1999 scrambler 400 4x4!!! 2 Stroke full fmf pipe, k&n filter ,box mod, jetted, Douglas blue label rims, itp muddlights, was a sick first bike
Be careful of the key way for the flywheel the predator is notorious for shearing the key way in half and causing havoc. Can’t wait to see it come back to life 🤘🏻
@@MichaelSabo anytime ! i would def get a extra one to have on hand just to be safe. good luck with the project. I'll be looking forward to see the videos dropping soon !
Okay I’ve done mods to mine... high compression 12:5:1 piston, clamp on air filter straight to carb, slip on pipe (not full system) carb jetting 180 main 48 pilot, the quad will be ridiculously fast I promise
Dude I read that the clamp on filter right to the carb is a huge gain! I imagine in the upper RPMs. And damn 180? I'm going 560cc high comp with cams porting and timing and I only ordered jets up to 200 😅
I have a 04 predator 500 and it's super fast almost as fast as a stock raptor 700 raptors pull just a little harder mid to top but not much. They are not bad machines not sure why people down play them.
I definitely have an edge with the following I have but I was always able to find deals; you have to constantly scan the market and jump instantly when you see a deal because they're gone in a second!
I like predators man I've had every quad there is banshees every 450s and my favorite is the predator. There very torqy haha. its to basic to say banshee or 450 these days.. love the vids man!
Idk man... What do you guys think of this Predator? Thank you for watching by the way 🤘

i hav a blaster i got from my best friends father he died in a car accdent n i got his blaster from his father it hasnt ran n it sat for 13 years lol
If they both run properly, and have similar mods. The predator will leave the raptor in the dust.
@@gshew6769lol nope 🤣🤣🤦♂️
Good deal! My 06 raptor 700 is in the same condition
The predator is a beast!! I still own my 2004 to this day and it runs great. SS Yoshimura pipe really makes it go Brrrraaaapp!!
That was the first quad I’ve ever owned and I absolutely loved it it was so fast
Hell yea, I'm excited to ride this one!
Mine could fly too, not bragging at all but Noone ever raced me
Mike I love how you take these older machines and bring them back to life. This series is gona be great 2 great quads you and john.keep it up man. These series rock!

I agree. I enjoy the builds more than the competitions
I’ve actually wanted to see you work on a Pradator 500 for a while now... can’t wait!!

I wish I had more buddy's into quads.....sit in someone's shop...drink beer and talk quads.....that's my happy place.
That was the first bike I started on a 2004 predator 500 when I was 14 thing was a beast
I never liked Polaris quads much.. but the Predator is just so damn cool though. Can't wait to see what you do with it!
I agree man, it's cool to get my hands on one finally!
i personally think u got the better deal but i am very interested in the series and cant wait for more epic content
The garb bar looks like it had a slow moving vehicle sighn on it
Bro 😂😂😂
Looking forward to see what you think of the Predator! I always looked at them at the dealership and wondered... Honda and Yamaha for me though!
I'm in the same boat man; maybe this can sway our opinion!
Can’t wait to see the builds. I would’ve jumped on that deal sight unseen 😂
Bro this was literally my first quad I’m excited about this one!!!!!!!
Glad to have you here for the experience man!
What's up Mike? Haven't been able to do much lately. Not to get off the topic but your house and yard look sweet. Good luck with this quad.
What's up Jim! Thank you; I've been mowing it constantly and my Pop is putting in a new deck 🤘
@@MichaelSabo Looks great! Looking forward to the Polaris build.
This was this first quad I had, hyped to see this my guy

Hmm, I really like top end machines... sounds like I'll be doing some major porting and intake mods 🤘
Excited to see the Predator vs the Raptor. Best of luck Mike.
Thank you bro! 🤘
Very informative,I have the same Quad and this helps me to do certain things myself
I'm not even mad with this new series lol. I own a predator myself looking forward to seeing what you guys do next.
Haha glad to have you following the series man!
Ive ridden multiple. There fast and fun. I liked my 2008 polaris outlaw much more. The one with the single rear suspension. That was a fun quad.
Hell yea man, I am excited to hop on this one!
I had one they had a starting clutch issue mine sheared the woodruff key and bolts and when you back that nut off to fix it and put it back after that it’ll keep shearing them but the DG R.A.C.E exhaust sounds good on them
Oh man, I'm hoping that was an issue in earlier years and not on the 07 😅
Yamaha Raptor for the win!
Dude please do more videos like this seriously this is hilarious
Haha, thank you man I'm glad you liked this!

@@MichaelSabo no problem bro I'm glad you guys made this a thing because it's the best atv content I can find 😎🤘
u gotta pelace that grab bar and please put a nice bumper on this one i loved the 400ex but was disappointed u didnt put a front bumper on it so hope u do this one some justice
I got both covered man 😎
Thats going to be a great challenge for you, and a new experience with polaris quads...
Is it weird that I'm looking forward to it? lol
I used to ride with a group of guys here in Ky. One of them had a 660 and one had a Predator. Both fairly new at the time. They drag raced often. Always seemed to go to the one who got the jump. The Predator was faster on the fast trails though.
Awesome to hear this man; John and I cant wat to compare the two; we will have some heavy mods done to ours though!
Wicked deal, you can make a beast out of what u got there bro, just gotta put it together
I bought one new in 2004, I loved it, never had a hitch, and it was very fast, Noone ever went around me
This is exactly what I'm looking for information about the polaris predator!
Keen to see this thing when its put together..
I appreciate you watching Andrew 🤘
This is perfect timing...I have a polaris predator 500 Troy Lee edition that Iam going to rebuild and put in a 12.5:1 piston and swap out the carb.
$500 is a great deal for a 2007 even if the motor is blown. I'm praying your crank bearings are still good. Finding new ones are like finding a needle in a haystack! Be careful ordering front end parts for the 2007 all steering components are different! Even the a-arms.
Wish I could post a picture to the comments, I had a pretty tricked out 06 predator. It was snappy and pretty sick with full flight a-arms and plus one rear axle, upgrades fox shocks. Rath header to hmf exhaust.
I own one .... 04 50th anniversary edition got mine for 1300 with paper work..... love it
Good deal man! Glad to hear you love it!
She's aight!!! Needs a lil TLC and she'll be a ripper fo sho big dawg!!!
💯
Good luck on finding parts
Already got em bro 😎
I like Polaris just never liked the way the front nose headlight area looked on them can’t wait to see you guys them them both for there first rip
They definitely have a unique look!
My brother had a predator back in the day with exhaust and a k&n filter and that quad would fly. I was mad when he sold it. The predator is the fastest atv ive ever rode besides a Banshee
You gotta ride a zilla then
This is awesome to hear man, I can't wait to ride this one!
im gonna be really interested to watch you fix this. i have a predator and its impossible to find videos fixing them
What videos are you looking for?
@@shawndunn4285 preferably an engine rebuilt or maybe even transmission if possible. theyre super complicated to work on and no atv places will fix them without charging a fortune.
You can’t cut the tip off the dg my dads ltz has that dog exhaust and it the tip was cut it sounds pretty dang good
I heard this from a few people also that it's a decent exhaust
Nice buy dude. Keep the bear claws tho.. you won't be disappointed. I have them on my 660r. On hard pack dry shit they aren't so great but anything other than that damn dude they hook up. Keep em and good luck with that against John's 660. You got your work cut out for you.
I'm hearing some good stuff about the claws! I already switched them out for what we're going to be doing but I am hanging on to them for a future series!
I got a mint 06 predator for a steal of 1200... nothing wrong with it.. i love it and its a beast.. everyone wants it..
Hot damn, I would have gladly taken that deal over this one 😂
Great deal bro and I've built a cpl n predators bored and polished and they will RIP , beware under the gas tank when you get them up in torque snaps ALL THE TIME so frame gussets will save you heart break lol
Ps running an 08 outlaw 535irs now and let me tell you the difference... woahhh
The grip man, seroously.. try the bearclaws in a drag race or hillclimbing. Seriously give them a shot, the 400ex wouldnt be spinning as much at higher speeds, theyre great for hydroplaning too, ive hydro'd a 250 mojave alot with these as a teen but that was almost to short and underpowered of a quad for that.
I'm sure they're beastly tires; I'm saving them for a future series where we compare tires or something 🤘
I appreciate the video.
I bought mine for 400 so I still remain the cheapest 💪 but I’m not lying when I say I have put 1300 dollars in parts in that 4 wheeler but now it’s great and I love it
That's not bad at all man, still under 2k for a 500cc quad!
Love these quad wars
Sweet deal! Just bought a 2021 Yamaha yfz 450r se! Getting back into riding and might get me a GoPro and make some videos for TH-cam!
That's awesome man, congrats on the new wheels and you should make some videos!

Definitely put it back together I whana see if its worthy of looking for one
Oh it's going together man!
@@MichaelSabo cant wait so excited to watch the process I've watched a few videos on them the dont look to fast but they were project bikes
My brother had one and when you had it up to speed it was kinda twitchy.
I like the preditor look but my Frends dad has a Predator that’s got an extended swing arm custom plastics that are custom molded with a fancy paint job ostrich leather seat and it’s got a 650 ninja it’s crazy custom and it’s done so perfect it’s an amazing looking bike and it makes enough power to keep up with 400 and 450s in the sand and he doesn’t use pattles and every one else dose
That's incredible dude; imagine how he would do with paddles!
Its been too long since we had a sabo engine build video bro! Hope u film the motor part of this project at least. And they do rip! U guys may be neck and neck on this one. Deff helluva deal, only crazy people would pass that up!!!
I'm way late responding to this but here is the engine build video - th-cam.com/video/USrUmwYMasM/w-d-xo.html
I have a 03 predator 500 with the 560 kit and kibble white valves & springs
A riding buddy had one and it was a legit monster
That's awesome to hear man!
I won a C class GNCC championship on a stock Predator. Probably the most reliable machine I ever owned. Put an IMS oversized tank on it so it doesn’t rub your knees raw with the goofy stock plastic design.
had an 07 these things are stupid fast lots of torque
What was the brake caliper and caliper cooler on the 400ex?
I think it was an old school one by vitos performance.

Just picked a Troy lee edition up for $300. All fox suspension aftermarket exhaust bunch of other parts. No spark….new cdi up and going.

The bear claws are mean in the mud put them on my costum offroad mower and they eat way to much I would take them off really heavy like u said
What an absolute unit man that thing only hhas like 10hours or so
I have a 04 predator 500 and it's super fast almost as fast as a stock raptor 700 raptors pull just a little harder mid to top but not much. They are not bad machines not sure why people down play them.
I don't know either; most of the people that have them seem to love them
hey how can you find quads so cheap. i'm from north philadelphia. and I can't find a quads. at a good price
I definitely have an edge with the following I have but I was always able to find deals; you have to constantly scan the market and jump instantly when you see a deal because they're gone in a second!
My dad had an 07 predator and it was fast as hell
YES! This is what I like to hear!
My buddy just got one, I believe it came factory with a hydraulic clutch
I like predators man I've had every quad there is banshees every 450s and my favorite is the predator. There very torqy haha. its to basic to say banshee or 450 these days.. love the vids man!
I agree man, I like to see what the odd ball quads and bikes can do; I can't wait to ride this thing!
5 1/2 foot bed life man. I do the same with my yfz
Dude I regretted not getting the 6.5 ft like 3 hours after buying my truck lol
