Tip for doing grips :
Poke a small hole, if there isn't already one from the factory, in the end of the grip, and use an air sprayer to blow air into the grip while you slide it on. Goes on in seconds
I’ve done this, works like a charm.
I manage an atv dealership in NY, and have learned many trade secrets from my crew
Love the channel bro. I’ve been flipping quads for about a year or 2 just picked up a raptor for $600 and a Polaris magnum 425 for $800 already running
Sweet finds! I love finding good deals like that. Keep it up!
Post it !!!
U didn't get a Raptor 700R there did ya now ! Them there is the king of these there quad runners. Ya hear??
@@Davido50 I did not it’s a 660 big bored though
I like seeing the old Predators get some love. I've got an 06 and it's a great bike. They're way under rated!
You always come in clutch when TH-cam is dead
lmao thats so rude but also so true
Just a tip for checking if woodruff key is snapped.. set the time mark to t, then use a long screwdriver down the plug thread to see if piston is at top, saves stripping the flywheel off
My brother had an 03 Predator with high comp piston, Hot cams, pro com CDI. and that was single handily the craziest ATV ive ever ridden. There was no end to the top speed it just kept going and if you werent careful it would pull up all the way through 4th gear. We topped his out at 98 but it was still going i just didn't want to go that fast on an atv lol we figured it would do 100+ if given the room.
Now is that really true ?
@@Bandito071 I doubt it. Not trying to be rude, but unless he had some crazy gearing on it, I bet it didn't even break 85mph
@@Bandito071 Yes it is absolutely true. We raced against my raptor 660 which topped out around 70 and he just kept going so we used a speedo to test it. I’d say I’d prove it but the rear blew up and sent him into a tree one day While riding.
Now you have to change the unlock swipe on your phone! As if you don't have enough to do.
Not a bad looking quad at all man
No not too bad for $800
Glad to see that you got this quad running, saving it from being parted out or junked. You can now flip it and make some $$$ on your investment, and someone will get a good running, reliable machine.
Thanks for the cool video, Joe!
Respect mafriend. Great vid as always. Best dirt bike rebuild channel on the tube. Thanks for taken the time to do the vids. Av learend loads along the way . Respect from across the pond in GLASGOW SCOTLAND UK.
I love theses videos. I’ve been watching for a few years great channel
Thanks for watching!
It’s easier to put the paste on the valve not the seat
If you use spider wire fishing line as your thread it will be 10 times stronger and last quite a while
Absolutely love your channel dude! Get excited when I get the notification for new video
Put the compound on the valve first it makes it a little easier
Another great job it's been fun watching you grow as a Motorcycle/Quad Mechanic it's impressive 👏 👍
If you use an air compressor blow bit inside the grip and then push it is super easy to put them on
Mae sure you fuel pump is setup up off the engine. Good positive pressure flow to carb. Great quad, 👍
I remember you buying dirt bikes like those Honda’s you and Charlie had/have idk but it’s so nice to see how far your skills have progressed and how you never gave up you are truly a inspiration to me.
He blew ya off......
@@Davido50 oh no he blew me off what do I do now
After we lap valves we yse Prussian blue to check consistency of seal after the grind.
hair spray on the inside of handle grips and line them up and take the palm of your hand and hit the ends of the grips they will just slide right on. next way is use compressed air use air gun and shoot air in under it while you are pushing the grips on they will slide on.. just an extra tip of the day..
I wonder if Joe's parents ever say { yeah we got it ! you fix 4 wheelers now get off my lawn!!!! lol}
Didnt do to bad at all, those are great quads, fun to ride, pain to fix, but great little toy. Great vid, enjoy your content... wwish my apprentice mechanic had your skills and initiative. Still learning but now and then still screws the pooch on assymbly. Keep up the good work!
Put the damn turbo on that bike 😂 that would be worth it. Those Polaris bikes are super fun and cool bikes. Not to mention pretty quick. I had a scrambler 250. Super fun.
They are fun but they are known to be kinda unreliable.
I found that q tips help clean the cracks and in sets well.
trick i have used for years is hair spray goes on easy and drys like glue
That's an awesome deal for $800 you got about $4,500 -$5,500 now
To vintage makes the best TH-cam videos!!
Good job buddy ! Another one fixed !
"valves are perfit". Does that mean like perfect fit?
There's no doubt it will run very good since you have worked on it!
I just picked up this same quad for $300 no spark. They replaced abunch of stuff trying to fix it. Looks like cdi, hopefully that’s in(new one on the way) but everything else looks good. Great videos man, keep it up.
Early morning Vintage? Well alriiight
You say not yo use a drill on valves but I've seen you use one before. LMFAO 😅😅
She purrs like a kitten, great job👍
putt grinding paste on the valve it is loads easier than putting it on the valve seat 😉
The predator 500 my sons friend has can almost keep up with the raptor 660. Fast atvs. Just not top ended like the raptor.
started right up, nice work
Hope you cleaned up the exhaust valves and the head before reassembly. Tight enough is not a torque spec.
man buddie u are the ish at these quads i sure wish i knew u i would love to learn how to rebuild these. i have a king quad 300 it’s kool but i don’t know nothing really about it..
You buy a ton of machines but you need to invest in some pants and gloves 😆
Love your channel man. Subscription added 😊
Best TH-camr everrrr
Wish I could send some pictures of a bike I just picked up to 125 Honda It's got a lot of mods it's got pro circuit racing forks All it needs is a new piston and gaskets I picked it up for a 150 bucks oh it's a 1994
Was told it was a racing bike but no proof of it It doesn't have a kickstand I don't know what that means
Nice! Great deal!
The only reason I got the bike is cause you got me interested in trying my luck at fixing them I'm not sure what it worth maybe you could let me know a round about figure thanks I'm excited to hear it run Goin to measure the cylinder and old piston and order the parts will keep you posted like I said wish I could sent you pictures
Would you have any idea what it's worth I respect your opinion and thoughts somehow I would like to send you pictures of it so you can tell me what I got
Checkinnnnn in !
do a sportbike for the summer!!!
hey brotha if you wanna set valves just right clean the gunk out first the place it in and spin it keep up the good work my man!
Inertia.. ie acceleration, low fuel....forcing fuel to back of tank away from fuel tap maybe ??
If those grips had little air holes in the end of them you could of gotten them on with a air compressor sometimes with lube they be evil little things to get on I've had great luck with air they taught me that trick way back in the bike shop lol anyhow love the videos brotha
Don't use lube. In hot weather, when the plastic softens, they can turn.
When putting them on, use ladies hair spray. Hair lacquer. Works as lube on the way on, but acts as light glue once it dries. Compresed air pops them right on like the other guy said.
🙂👍
Ok Joe
Where did you order the side plastic cover Joe.I need one for my 2004.
U should get a ltr450 or a kfx450 and great job on the videos keep up the great work 👍👍
A sweet quad to try to look for is a suzuki vinson quadrunner 500. They are units
underrated talent,this is a gifted man
You got it all apart.why not replace all 4 valves.
Awesome fix👍
Yeah just recently had my grandpas 305 scrambler stolen luckily a neighbor had cameras just hoping I can get the guys before she's gone for ever
Oh man that sucks! I hope you get it back!
ever put grips on with an air compressor?
Nice job. Love your builds…working on my first flip. Picked up an 06 LTZ400 with a 434 BB kit. Prob paid to much & the more I dig into it the more shit I find wrong. Should be able to make a few hundred when I’m done tho. Almost there. Waiting for final parts. Should be here today. Back together this weekend.
Nice, at least you get to learn how to fix all the stuff that is broken.
Where's the update
@@Thai.H I did get the Z400 finished, runs & rides great now. I bought to flip, but fell in love with it…lol. Still not sold…Bikes fun as hell
@@cadman9615 I just bought an 04 for myself
@@Thai.H couple of mods I did that make it easier to live with. Swap the fuel petcock to a raptor one. Simple on, off & res. Also, it’s geared more for top end, so if you drop the frt sprocket one tooth, you’ll gain back some low end torque. Have fun & good luck!
man i wish my bike had rubber replacable valve seals!, im working on a classic 1965 BSA Spitfire/hornet chopper my father gave me. the thing had Brass valve guides that have to be Drifted out with a brass rod and heated and new guides Drifted in....
Great Job.
Quality job joe sounds great mate not a bad buy at all take care buddy 🔧🔧🔧👍👌
Thank you so much for such informative and valuable walkthrough on your projects. Clear and concise 🤙🏽
Love the channel! I use it as motivation to get out and fix old broken machines. What brand do you use for gasket kits??
Awesome video 👍
I swear I had smellavision when that smoke started rolling off the engine ,and pipe. I have done it so many times it just came to me.
G'day Joe been a while how you going mate 👍🇭🇲
Nicely done sir and for 800 bucks I think you’ll make money on it keep up the great work and the great videos👍🏼🤩
OMG you still haven't turned it up and it keeps quiting on you. LMFAO 😂😂
I don't believe the cooling fan should be running all the time unless it's overheating. check the temp/coolant fan sensor/switch
Glad you saved another quad from being scraped
Great job Joe!
Not valve pins ,valve Collette ye
Good job boss man
Runs good and looks good too!!
Can you bring back working on dirt bikes I was more interested in those
love the videos a lot of good info thx buddy..
Just some helpful advise for tbe grips.....spray paint on the bars or on the inside the grips themselvs...theyll slide right on and when the paint dries...itll keep them on guten tight! Lol
Great video! Awesome 👏
great video lad good job
Me. It’s gonna run good
Rod is bent to
Put the upgraded reservoir shocks on it
great video as always
When the motors smoked like that you know it hasnt ran in a while
@Whoop!
I have the same year four wheeler and I have a question I am having issues with it at idle it seems like it's not getting gas properly but all the lines are good it will rev out no problem but won't return to a low idle the idle after any little rev stays high I have tried adjusting the screw under your carburetor and the throttle cables along with the adjustment on the side
I would try cleaning the carburetor. Sounds like your pilot jet may be clogged.
Working on mu kxf 250 .. needs valves doin .. I just don't have the balls to attempt it .....
Took a little work but you'll get a nice profit from your investment. Great video content. Really enjoy your channel. Thanks again for your time and videos. Enjoy your weekend.
It's NOT point zero zero anything. Its thousandths of an inch.
Can I please buy it i very much what this machine lmk please
First real one
you're a beast g lol
Gee every machine would you please just turn the idle up a quarter of a turn
Joe you turn the choke off everything to quickly leave it for a good 10mins minimum
Choke is just to get it going by enriching fuel during first start. If you need to keep the choke on that long then the carb needs re-tuning. Should be able to turn it off within a min or so after start up
Why don't you give one of the yfz's to your younger brother he might dig that?
I need some help so I’m my raptor 660 was running good and yesterday I turned it on for couple minutes then shut off after I tried starting it back up again and it would not turn on unless I used the choke I’ve searched and what I’ve seen is that it could be the carb being dirty or something with the choke not working I’m not sure if anyone could tell me what my problem is that would be ver helpful
I would start by cleaning the carburetors. Make sure you clean the pilot jets!
@@2vintage thank u I appreciate your help will do
Grip lube?
I’ve used hairspray before, slips right on & provides non slip when dry
@@cadman9615 ive used spray paint, grip glue, electrical tape with gas, wire tie’s. But never heard of lubing grips on…
You’re a glutton for punishment with a clapped mystery Polaris
People just love to be the crap out of them and leave them for dead and then sell them to you needing a carb clean
Probably has a few years left in her
You always say "WE" when talking about doing things....I only see you....who is WE??
