I probably wouldn’t run the fork air bleeders, they sound sweet on paper but all the ones we have ever tried always leak oil, now they were used on a motocross track with jumps, we never had good luck with them but your mileage may vary, sweet build tho.
Those titanium foot pegs gave me shivers, I once seat bounced a jump and got sent almost over the bar's, like full superman. I missed the left peg with my boot and landed with my knee on the peg! Ripped it wide open, to this day I have the shape of a foot peg scar on my knee, 15 stitches.. My knee swelled up after the stitches, looked like a baseball! Good Time's! 😂

Since your going to enter your first race soon and itll be on a dirt bike your next build needs to be a quad. I would love to see you build a quad to compete in GNCC racing. It would be awesome to see all the things you need to do to a quad to make it legal for GNCC and then see how everything works to compete. Show us every step of the process from signing up to crossing the finish line, do it for the race with the KTM as well!
Been watching the channel for a little while now and I’m so stoked to see you build another sweet ass bike! Especially one for you to dominate a track! Keep being your amazing self and putting in endless hard-work while keeping your positive vibe😎
As usual, another great build Michael. I think this is going to be my favorite build series i've ever watched on youtube. You're obvious excitement and enthusiasm about the builds You do add alot to your videos. I'm in the middle of a very similar build on a 2004 Honda CRF250X. 270 kit, complete suspension rebuild, custom wheels, everything. Looking forward to following this build series to completion. Thanks for your effort.
I absolutely love this build, everything is looking awesome, one thing I think you should consider doing is Cryo heat treating the transmission. Seems like all the pros are doing it and apparently it makes a big difference, Rock on. 🤘
I found a good way to put grips on the bars. I used 4 or 5 metal zip ties and put them inside the grip. After sliding the grip on, just pull out the zip ties. So easy
Mikey you'll love the 3-fitty when it's done! I bet you'll enjoy riding that more than your KX. As much as I love Kawi and am thankful they offer offroad/cross country spec bikes, they need to step it up to match the Austrian brands. Throwing a kickstand, 18" wheel and "softer" suspension on an MX bike doesn't make it a true XC bike. An added 6th gear, bigger tank, skidplate and handguards would be huge. Bought my first KTM 350 XC-F a few years ago and never looked back. Good luck with the bike and love the videos. Awesome to see you come over to the 2 wheeled side! ✌️
Been watching the channel for some time now and I’ve been waiting for an Mx built trx450r. Either all black or red white and blue. Something about an Mx built trx just looks so damn good. Keep up the good work Mike!
Bro you almost got enough parts to start a ktm parts store haha so awesome! People prolly just look at the bolt spread and are like cool a bunch of bolts without actually thinking of the time and effort put into it. So sick!
All that work on the stock seat. After the first ride, you're going to order a Seat Concepts comfort seat guaranteed 😂 love the videos. Keep them coming!
Glad you finally got a side of the pro flo levers I got 2 sets of them they're amazing and that's how they come the front brake is Smaller than the clutch and there's a set screw inside of the levers you can adjust how much play you want it to move or you can keep it Tight
That must be nice idea is a bad mindset. Just being happy for people is a way better mindset. I grew up in a trailer park keeping my bikes running with duct tape and no brakes. Now I have some fairly decent bikes. Situations change.
Make sure you use lock tight and torque the shift lever to the correct torque. They’re really easy to break by over torquing and if you don’t get them tight enough they will come loose. There is a serrated washer that needs to be the correct way too. I can’t remember but there may be two washers. You’ll see. But make sure it’s right or you’ll be doing it over. I actually prefer the Japanese bikes system for shift levers.
You could hear the weight weenie coming out in Mike as he was checking the parts out 😂😂, I know he’s a light weight guy so any of the heavy stuff I could hear the anguish in his voice I knew the scale was coming out soon
Those gripper seat covers are designed to work with the rubber butt patches you put on the butt area of your riding pants. Usually people put their nickname. They are a big thick rubber patch and those combined with a gripper seat cover basically glue your arse to the seat. The two combined become like velcro only stronger.
Going to be a great bike! Absolutely love my 2020 KTM 500. For your fuel tank dilemma you could get carbon fiber covers. I believe P3 makes some and theres another company CMT compositi
Bike is going to be nuts! Love the color scheme you’ve got going and I must say between you Joe and Steve Brewer I’m getting the itch for a 2 wheel machine 🤔
Im not sure what type of enduro you're going to do, but ive tried a few different tires but once i tried Michelin Enduro Medium i cannot go back to anything else! the only downside is it sucks in sand since its a FIM tire.. but on roots, stones, mountains.. it rocks!! try and you probably love it too! I live in Sweden and its almost always wet (an exaggeration ofcs) and those X31's get slippery as hell! they do well on motocross tracks since there are no roots or bigger stones that gets really slippery when moist
Hey @MichaelSabo how do you bypass the throttle etc on the Polaris predator 500 I got a Honda throttle but can’t figure it out thank you?? Keep up the great build videos man!!
I've ran an oversized tank on my ATC 250R at The Hatfield -McCoy Trail System, running Rockhouse. After seeing all the UTV videos, not sure if I'd want to go there now
Limit your compressor to 60 lbs when doing the seat covers and you won't blow through the material. Also 1/4" is enough and what all the pros seem to use. The longer ones can poke through especially on the sides.
After riding the KTM for a bit i bet the Kawi 250f will sit lol. You'll be wishing you either didnt buy jt or you'll be wishing you just got the 450 instead. Those 350s are said to be like a 250f weight wise with 450 power. I guess it would probably depend on which model 350. I heard that in reference to race bikes. Super curious what your opinion is gonna be! Cant wait go see the KTM rippin
I aquired a damaged 07 450 SX ktm really cheap . It needs $3g in parts even though I have the skills to fix it, it's not worth doing . Would be different if it could be registered for road use.
I think you can get carbon fiber covers for ktm fuel tanks, they completely hide the ugly colour tank and make the bike look really sick, altough they can be expensive
Thank you for watching my video 🤘What do you guys think of the parts I chose? D-day for the KTM isn't far away! You all ROOOOOCKKK!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Pure class mate 👏
I started watching Sabo when the Raptor 700 build came out and I've been a fan ever since. It's humbling to see how far he's come along
@abbybonilla4511 humbling to hear that you've been here since then - thank you for all your support 🤘
@@abbybonilla4511 been watching since he did the first banshee build before the voodoo banshee
@@shreddy313 same here!!!
Finally we got to see the KTM!! I'm really interested in the color scheme!!
Me too man! The frame is supposed to be done this week - can't wait to share it 🤘
THE WAY YOU SET EVERYTHING UP, IS IN ORDER AND NICE AND STRAIGHT! IT'S FREEKING AWESOME..
I LOVE THE COLOR SKYME. ✌
Mike Sabo bringing the word TRICK back one video at a time🤣🤣.
I probably wouldn’t run the fork air bleeders, they sound sweet on paper but all the ones we have ever tried always leak oil, now they were used on a motocross track with jumps, we never had good luck with them but your mileage may vary, sweet build tho.
Put the radiator guards on. If you ride woods at all you'll tip over.. they are needed.

A Supermoto build would be insane as a future Video. Love ur videos 🫶🏻
In my opinion the 1 gripper seat cover are the best and u put it on like a professional 😂
The amount you can learn from watching sabo is unmatched!!!

Loving it Dude
Watching here in the UK 🇬🇧
Glad you're enjoying 🤘
You are definitely correct. ATVs have way more parts. It's amazing the attention to detail you have.
Love the parts. Me and my son just started our second build and it’s a FC350. Can’t wait to see how this one turns out for you.
wow that Acerbis tank is ABSURD !! LOL
Ditch the big tank go oem I would suggest a radiator fan kit bud keep that puppy cooled down.
Great video, this build is going be crazy 🔥
Wow.Parts! U have me bet. It's like Christmas when you was a kid. Nice!
living my dream! nice to see a greaful youtuber like you, keep it up!
Got that zeta foot shift lever it is amazing ! It has insane adjustability
Been watching the channel for a little while now and I’m so stoked to see you build another sweet ass bike! Especially one for you to dominate a track! Keep being your amazing self and putting in endless hard-work while keeping your positive vibe😎

Best seat cover hands down🔥🔥🔥🔥 good choice
I absolutely love this build, everything is looking awesome, one thing I think you should consider doing is Cryo heat treating the transmission. Seems like all the pros are doing it and apparently it makes a big difference, Rock on. 🤘
Ktm bikes are great these days.
Nice job on the seat, it looks great!
I can’t wait to see the motor build, and eventual start up.
I found a good way to put grips on the bars. I used 4 or 5 metal zip ties and put them inside the grip. After sliding the grip on, just pull out the zip ties. So easy

Love it when I catch your video the first hour it’s out!👍
Bikes going to be sick. Next one you do you should be a husqvarna and make it KTM colors. 😂
Your video quality is great. I'm always blown away with the effort. Took me awhile to appreciate the effort you put in though
I love how you build everything to last, even the cheap Chinese top ends you did right and they never blew up
All those boxes like Christmas in July! Cant wait to see it all come together.
Bro you're videos are so sick, always look forward to you uploading. Love the graphics on this one keep up the great work!

It's your own personal Christmas in July, funded by you. Awsome stuff...
Dude I freaking love this channel
Love these builds.
I would definitely get the works connections radiator braces there really light and keep you radiators from bending
Holy smokes Mike! This might be your cleanest build yet! The shots of those bolts and vapor blast parts was amazing! 🔥
Don’t send the flow rad guards back they might add weight but the save your rad from crunching and save u money!!, love what ur doing with the bike
Dude!! I got an 01 yz125 I’m restoring really hoping my first moto goes well can’t wait to see yours brother!!!
That must be nice idea is a bad mindset. Just being happy for people is a way better mindset. I grew up in a trailer park keeping my bikes running with duct tape and no brakes. Now I have some fairly decent bikes. Situations change.
15:52 the size of the gas tanks 🤣
Because you like the gold zinc so much, you should check out the Dirttricks chromatic rear sprocket instead of their orange one!
Dirttricks makes amazing sprockets they hold up well
Make sure you use lock tight and torque the shift lever to the correct torque. They’re really easy to break by over torquing and if you don’t get them tight enough they will come loose.

I loved it
This is going to be the most epic KTM build to date! But I do have to ask, "Where are you going with that tank? Madagascar?" lol JKJK
Im not sure what type of enduro you're going to do, but ive tried a few different tires but once i tried Michelin Enduro Medium i cannot go back to anything else! the only downside is it sucks in sand since its a FIM tire.. but on roots, stones, mountains.. it rocks!! try and you probably love it too!

I’m begging you, You have got to do a 350 worrier build. You would kill it.
I just got my first ktm 😂😂 03 125sx it's a learning curve for sure lol 😅
Woohoo for more ktm
Hey @MichaelSabo how do you bypass the throttle etc on the Polaris predator 500 I got a Honda throttle but can’t figure it out thank you?? Keep up the great build videos man!!
Another great video!!!
I've ran an oversized tank on my ATC 250R at The Hatfield -McCoy Trail System, running Rockhouse. After seeing all the UTV videos, not sure if I'd want to go there now

I think acerbis makes different sizes of gas tanks. Also are you sure you want to rock a kickstand if your racing it?
Yo-what a amazing view~ Michael- =)
Acerbis make a smaller oversized tank to. I have it. And love it. I got black tho to mach my bike
Viewer number 155 like the content bro
Like the Jewelry
Be ready to buy lots of boots with those pegs😂
Honestly would be cool to see you try to clean the original tank for the entertainment and if it is possible
Hey Mike,not sure if I missed it but who are you using for the vapor blasting?
Love how that stuff comes back
Good stuff I love my tm skid plate thing takes a beating still holding up
Guts are the best seat cover
Duuuude.... you should totally make a build where the whole bike including rims, frame, engine covers etc are gold zinc coated
After riding the KTM for a bit i bet the Kawi 250f will sit lol. You'll be wishing you either didnt buy jt or you'll be wishing you just got the 450 instead. Those 350s are said to be like a 250f weight wise with 450 power. I guess it would probably depend on which model 350. I heard that in reference to race bikes. Super curious what your opinion is gonna be! Cant wait go see the KTM rippin
Gonna be sick when you get done bro! Hey can i have the old seat cover for my son's ktm?
I aquired a damaged 07 450 SX ktm really cheap . It needs $3g in parts even though I have the skills to fix it, it's not worth doing . Would be different if it could be registered for road use.
What about dyeing the gas tank
Does anyone know where you can get custom plastic that are black for the raptor 700
What kind of race,Mx or Xc. I would love for you to do a xc race on a atv
Please get urself a ktm 525 XC in bad condition! Best rgds and keep it up
those titanium pedals remind me of the metal bicycle pedals to the shins as a kid lol
We called them Bear Traps in the uk and yes very painful 😂
The ktm is gonna be sick but just so ya know the prounounce nice cnc like neesh or niche lol
Hit up a fellow PA boy, John Malecki about that table, his channel is siiiiiick.
that hoarders montage made me feel attacked lmao
I think you can get carbon fiber covers for ktm fuel tanks, they completely hide the ugly colour tank and make the bike look really sick, altough they can be expensive
And ive hear of some people using wrap to hide the tank
If I've got discoloration in my fuel tank ..how can I clean it ?
You dont want a shorty clutch lever. It makes the clutch pull much harder.
PLEASE DO A YAMAHA WARRIOR
Any update on the corvette, is it going to be worked on this summer? Just wondering. Great videos!
He put out an update on his second channel. The vette project is getting sold or traded
@@benbrown565thanks
when is the giveaway for the blaster head update
Please do a Polaris express 300
Bultaco approved
I wanted those same foot pegs for my yz125 but they’re about 180 & I can’t afford that for just the pegs. 😭
Paris to Dakar tank!
