Just a reminder not to fall for any scammers in the comment section!!!! I will never ask you to telegram me or ask for personal info!! What do you guys think of the condition of this banshee? ASPCA Raptor is still in the works; lot's of small issues holding up the finale. But as always... you all ROOOOOOCKKK!!! 🤘🤘🤘
It would be soo cool if you could 3d print a banshee piston in resin, can you also do some experiaments with the banshe:)? I would 3D print some pistons for it for fun if it was my quad! Cool videos and please make engine building toutorials.🙂
Dude your honesty my favorite RU-vidr! I love your content and your humor as well!! Reminds me of me and my dad in the garage . Keep up the amazing work!
If I remember right, those “Phillips heads screws” you said strip out a lot, are actually “JIS” (Japanese Industry Standard) headed screws. If you use a standard Phillips head screw driver on a JIS screw, they will strip out almost every time! If you don’t have them, order a set of nice JIS screw driver, they aren’t expensive, and will save you the headache of stripping out those screws;)
@@rydermiller1782 ever heard of “the right tool for the right” and not being a hack? I’m a licensed A&P mechanic. You want me to use the correct tools on an airplane you and your family are on, or just jerry rig it with the wrong tools?
I don’t own a quad, but I dig Motorsports, engines, rebuilds and upgrades. You do an epic job of explaining what you are doing. Makes it seem more accessible.
Thank you sponsors, Thank you for helping this man do these projects. I enjoy watching these, I went back and watched so many of these videos after I found this channel about a month or so ago..
My pegs on the 01 I just bought weren’t welded on but somebody ran a bigger bolts in then so I had to buy the heavy duty replacement bungs that get welded in the frame. Stripped nuts on the frame for the front exhaust hangers, different size bolts everywhere. Motor is surprisingly complete with the right nuts and bolts. Doing a full makeover like you so it’s pretty cool to see someone go through the same stuff. These videos help a lot.
im actually really excited to see how you build a banshee the 2nd time around. Your first banshee you spent a lot of time learning the ins and outs, im interested to see what new stuff you find with this as all quads are built different!
Oh Mike what have you gotten yourself into... definitely apt for basket case garage... I'm confident your skills will make this thing rip again but wow what an absolute mess can't wait to see this one ripping again.... love the channel your awesome
Another great video, well done and put together as always. But what really makes your stuff so enjoyable to watch is the real way you do the work, the frustration, sarcasm, and humor that puts us there with you, makes us feel like we are hanging out in the shop with a friend!🤘
“Oh look at that somebody already cut the wires dude” 😹😹 he so smart tho I ain’t gonna lie Learned how to build my banshee engine from his videos. Coolest guy and very humble. I never finished building yet but I have faith got all my tools the one I don’t have I get as I go and as I need them because I can’t remember them all. I never owned a tool before doin this build so imagine how much money I spent. Like not even a hand tool in the garage that’s all my dads and he don’t even have much of what I need he has every size but the sizes that fit my banshe frame and engine. Kmsl
Dude bro loving your videos, one just popped up today. I have had a 2000 Yamaha warrior since 2009 been sitting one year (electrical issues) your an inspiration I think I’m going to do a first video on you tube and give her the Michel Sabo treatment!! You definitely earned my subscription🤙
I love watching your videos every time i need a good fix for some good quad content. Got into the 2 stroke game this past year with my 02 Yamaha Blaster and love to work on it when I have the free time to do so. Love your work, Keep it up!!!
Junkyard banshees you got to love them rebuilt a few of them in my days and that s*** sucks but when you rebuild stuff it will be 1000% better can't wait to see what direction you go with this one
That head can be saved. You buff down all the high spots then fill them in with extreme high temp JB weld. Then buff them smooth again. I know most won't believe me or just gunna bash this comment. My sled blew up years ago. It popped about one week from a trip I had planned. The head looked just like the banshee head. Wasn't able to get a new head for a few weeks. Was at my local sled/ATV/ bike shop. Was seeing if he had a used head. He was the one that suggest this method. He swore by it. And I was in a pinch. So I had him do it. It worked. I planned on still buying a new head after the trip. But it didn't have one issue. So I ran that head for years, probably put close to 3,000 miles on it.
I never bash any methods man; respect for saving the head. Not sure I'd trust that as a permanent fix but I'd be lying if I said I never rigged stuff up out at the dunes to make things last the rest of the trip!
I Like your videos you was talking about the new sanding table you have,for the people who can't afford one. a double pain window glass with tac spray for wet and dry paper works very well, your only looking at microns if it's out at all used same on hundreds of heads know problems at all pass it on to your subscribers 😀
Just randomly come across your channel, awesome my man subscribed straight away! Not seen an old banshee be restored in a long time, keep at it man 👍❤️
I woulda watched this earlier today, but I had DS650 ridin' to do. Sorry Mike!😁 Might I suggest "Big Mike" for the big wrench? Those are stock intake manifolds. They say "Ars" on the bottom of the carb side. Ars makes most of the stock rubber parts, intake manifolds, seals, etc. The water could've gotten in the pipes when you power washed it. Or past those LOVELY corks...😑 When I tear stuff down, I use the note method, and the junk box method. Put the effed up parts in a box, and write them down as you scrap them, or in customers' cases, put them in a different box to show them when their rig is done. I KNEW you would find some jank hardware somewhere! Also, I LOVE that special bolt on the clutch cover! I've seen kick start idler gears smoked like that. I've got an 87-92 LT250R bottom end in my collection that did the same thing. It must be nice having aftermarket support for a machine. I mean, they haven't made a Banshee for the US since 2006,and one can still get lots of stuff for it. Same with the TRX250R. But not much for the rare birds. Tecates, QuadRacers, and Tri Zs are all forgotten.😭 Ooooh! I felt your hand get smacked! Same thing happened to me a little while ago. ProCross spindle nuts. I took a brass hammer to the 1st knuckle inside on my left hand. Pieces of brass in the wound. Ow.🤬 Man, that was a tough NUT to crack!🤓 I'll see myself out... More festival of pain for you Mike. But we'll be here for ya. 👍
You lost that battle with that bolt buddy 😂😂😂😂 i love your videos i was definitely looking forward to this disassemble keep it up man your by far my favorite on youtube you legit showed me the way to build my first banshee im lookin forward to doing another banshee build so glad you are 💪🏼❤️
Just a little note, exhaust scavenging actually means that there is low pressure in the expansion chamber to suck the exhaust out of the cylinder. That's why the expansion chamber is designed the way that it is. The aggressive change in diameter causes the low pressure area and the small exit diameter creates velocity to further lower the pressure in the expansion chamber. Basically the whole idea behind exhaust scavenging is to get the most exhaust out of the cylinder as possible, even to the point that a lot of 2 strokes will send unburnt air/fuel mix out of the exhaust, creating the wetness you see on the silencers.
just wanted to say, i absolutely lost it when you broke out those human sized breaker bars for the axle nuts. Love the vids and absolutely love what you do to those quads! keep up the good work
Been saving up some cash flipping a few dirt bikes very fast. I’m going to need some major help ordering these parts lmao I gotta watch all the vids u have posted up about your voodoo banshee 😂 love the Chanel brotha keep it up
I’ve recently found you on RU-vid and I just gotta say I love the videos! I look forward to you making more! Also the crescent wrench was being used backwards…
Have you tried an air hammer with a chisel on the seized axle nuts? If you got a good air hammer they work pretty good, you just got to modulate the throttle of the air hammer to get the right frequency.
Tip for getting stuck bolts off, if it doesn’t come off with more leverage, hold hard pressure on the wrench with no cheater bar, and smack the end of the wrench with a mini sledge. The impact hits will help loosen it.
Tri-Flow Industrial penetrating oil. A bicycle mechanic turned me on to that stuff 3 or 4 years ago. Pricey, but works where others don't. Had to use it on my Warrior axle nuts.
PRO TIP, there is actually specific Phillips head screwdrivers from Japan that are used on japanese bikes especially Yamaha and and Kawasaki. American Phillips are just a little different but enough that makes those screws easy to strip
The axle bolt was just like the one I had on my 400ex. I ended up taking the swing arm off and taking the whole assembly to work and cutting it off with the torch. And to think I thought mine was clapped out lol. I did end up tearing mine all the way down tho. New full top end and bottom end got all new bearing and seals. I also had to replace second gear witch is a common problem with the 400 ex. It was missing a few teeth. You wouldn't believe all the sand that was in the engine for the last owner riding in the dunes all the time and not taking care of it
I run a full set of the ROCK rims front and rear. the best I have ever owned. high quality at an awesome price..... BTW 10k on parts its insane! It really does cost this much build a decent bike though... Nice job Mike
You should do like an OEM build. Like take it back to pristine factory condition like all original. Be cool to do a resto on a banshee and see it redone 100% stock!
Hey Mr. Sabo, you should consider putting a time on clips off these videos just to see how long it takes...Like day 3 4:37 pm or something like that just an idea lol
In the 90's Laeger made a 250R frame setup for a Banshee engine. I have talked to several frame builders and they love the sound of the project. Now that CP makes massive 250R cylinders I just don't know if that is the way.....I like Torque
Love the channel bro and shoutout from the Uk 🇬🇧…when fitting the cylinder heads You can’t get them wrong when fitting the cylinder heads there are more rounded on the outside and flat where the sit flush against each other if that makes sense lol 😂
