You need a metal recycling bin, Love the videos.
Mike, as a fellow Pennsylvanian who love working on quads, may I recommend you purchasing a hand held impact driver you put the socket on and smack it with a hammer. I promise it's a life saver with seized allen headed bolts. Keep killing the videos! Jeff from Mercer County.
The blue & black with gold rims I think looked best especially against the gold
Black plastics but instead of blue, do yellow
Gotta love working on them almost 40yr old Machines! 👍 It would be interesting to see you do a ATC250r, and a Tecate3 and do like a top quad, but with Trike's! Easier said then done as those are all hard to find, maybe find some channel members that own them and would like to compete?! Anyways, excellent video as always, keep it up!
I dig the blue and white with gold wheels, it reminds me of an early banshee variant. Just a thought, a bit wider rear hub would make this thing alot more stable and fun to ride.
All great ideas; I am planning on a wider axle
Lovin the tri-z videos so far. My opinion, blue with white plastics looks best. Also looks good regardless of whether you go black air box and seat or blue. Although you gotta keep the gold rims you CAN NOT have 2-stroke three wheeler and not have gold rims ( my opinion once again).
I was glued to the screen throughout the whole video. Trikes sit in a special place in my heart. 🤘
Dude you are my medicine, you don't realise how much joy you and your video's bring to me and my boy here in the UK
Please keep them coming.
I have just finished my lad's 2004 CR85 and learnt a lot from you.
I’m torn between the look of the white and yellow plastics with blue. You definitely should keep the nostalgic gold wheels! Also i have always had great luck using citristrip and then pressure washing them. Then you don’t have to worry about scratches from scraping off the paint. Saves a lot of time as well.
Thank you for the feedback and tip; a lot of people are suggesting citrus strip
Lacer thinner takes takes the paint off ez
The Tri Z came with only one boost port alot of guys will drill out and make a second one.Another weak spot on the Z is the footpeg bolt thread inserts.Also the reason the clutch case cracked alot on these is people would leave the inner bolt out behind the kickstart gear.The clutch covers are very thin .
Gold wheels A must! Yellow plastics with blue frame looked pretty dope! Little flare to the oem look!! 🔥
Broken my collarbone on my bike last week, gonna be 6 months and 2 surgeries before I’m riding again. Your videos have been very therapeutic to me for some reason. Keep it up !
This build is gonna be sick af!!! Gold wheels are always a go for me on these 80s bikes. I like the blue and white which goes with the traditional Yamaha color scheme but the black and blue was 🔥🔥IMO
The smaller bottle is Yamaha's version of a boost bottle--which were popular in the early 80s. They store the fuel/air mixture when the reed closes (due to back pressure), and release it when it opens. They act as a kind of spring in tandem with the engine--similar to a 2 stroke pipe but on the intake side. Some people call bs on boost bottles but in my experience they work. Yamaha put them on their dirt bikes too.
I had an 86 200, when I was 8. Taught me a lot of lessons for sure.
A friend of mine had a couple Tri-Zs when we were younger, they were fun to ride. He took and turned one into a big wheel cycle, like the BW200 and the FatCat. Both his were the Yellow version
I think you should do a Suzuki LTZ400/KFX400 or the Arctic cat version next, super popular 4 wheelers that have a great following.
I cant tell you how exited i get when i get a sabo notification🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This made my day, thank you for watching my videos Ashton!
Dude, the blue frame, blue seat and black plastics looks great
Riding the ATC’s back in the day I remember Yamaha being yellow. For this one I love the stock look since it will be displayed at a ATV store. It would be amazing to see it look original. Love your videos
I enjoy your videos on the Tri-Z. I’m 51 from Brawley Ca, (Glamis) and still have my Tri-Z. I’ll be taking it out of storage and riding it this season because of your videos . Thanks
The wedge that’s welded from mid pipe to stinger, I’m betting, is so there’s more material holding the silencer besides just the pipe going into it. Most 2stroke expansion chsmbers have a tab welded on, that connects the rear cone of the chamber, to where it turns to the stinger. Without the tab, breaking the pipe free would be relatively easy
Yes popular place to crack
Black and blue would look sick! Great video, can’t wait to see the finished product Mike! ✌🏻
Thank you Rich!
Wow you realy almost do read every coment ....the white and blue sceme looks amazing on the tri Z
Maybe in the future you could do a restoration video on the trx 450's,ive watched every video youve ever made and found it sad you never did a trx 450:( take my word those are incredible machines live your vids bro❤
You can tell the red frame has a warrior shock. Those are compatible with the TRI-Z. The yellow frame has the oem shock.
Thank you for this info man!
@@MichaelSabo no problem! I’ve got tons of info if you want. I sent you an Instagram DM
Black plastics , gold frame and wheels, gold outline stickers, gold seat🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽
The blue and yellow looks fire 🔥
Hey man, I work in a shop that does sandblasting and we have a booth for a fine grit Powder blast that would take the paint right off them plastics in no time and leave them ready to prep and repaint.
Looking forward to the rest of this build!
My earliest memories are of me riding in front of my dad on his '86 crossing streams and doing donuts. Loving this content!!
I love the black plastics with blue frame and seat.
This build is coming along nice. Your content and knowledge are💯. I’ve been playing catch up and binge watching since I discovered your channel last week. My z400 hasn’t ran or been moved in 6 years bc of it needing valve work, and me needing more time in the day. You lit the fire tho and I thank you for that.
Best guy on UA-cam I truly feel thankful every time you upload
Thank you for saying this man; made my day 🤘🤘
@@MichaelSabo heck yeah man!
I think the blue and white combo is the way to go on this machine Mike. Love the vids
Thank you JB!
That last blue setup was sick. I had an 85.5 red and black and an 86 white and red. The 85.5 transmission was much more fun by far
Two episodes in and this is already one of my favorite series that you have done
Original yellow and black is my vote. Awesome job you do man!
Thank you man!
I WATCHED THIS VIDEO 3 TIMES, ESPECIALLY THE ENDING LIKE 5 TIMES. GOLD RIMS ALL THE WAY, BLUE FRAME-BLACK FENDERS, AND TANK. WITH BLUE SEAT. WHITE SHOCKON SWING ARM. I THINK THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE. A LITTLE BIT OF CROME, MABY A EXHAUST PIPE. GOOD LUCK MIKE THIS WOULD DRIVE ME NUTS PICKING THE RIGHT COLOR SKIM. HEY, ALSO I READ SOMEONE SAID THEY SELL A 350- BIG BORE KIT FOR THIS BIKE, THAT WOULD BE BADASS.
Blue, white, and gold. Looks super fly.
That black and blue looked badass but I know what ever colors you go with is going to look badass to because they always do
I like the black fenders with the blue frame, its going to look awsome no matter what way you go with it.
The original red and white just looks so clean thats my vote
40:10 That color is sick wouldn't mind seeing the blue and black accents switched up a bit but those colors look best with the gold rims great vid as always man 💯👍
The blue and white with gold rims looked awesome!
Restoration not molestation!!! Leave it bone stock!!! Its a historic machine, worth bank if original. And instantly recognizable to the masses. I would love to see this thing go back to its roots.
they did not treat this bike the way it deserves. BRING IT BACK TO LIFE!
I've had some stuff going on so I'm late to seeing this one. But I'm here and I'm following the build .
The 85 Tri-Zs had cold seizure issues. They fixed that in '86 with updated jetting & different piston.
I did not know this but it appears that's what happened here; thank you for the info
Changing the rims from gold would be a shame, but to each their own. Love all your projects 👍
when i see you post my day gets better
Cool video man, I honestly think you should do the color scheme just like the way you got it black & Red with gold rims ,IMO it just looks bad ass,can't wait to see it done though man you do amazing work,I have learned so many tricks from watching you're videos, thanks for passing all that knowledge on
👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for the love Steve; I'm glad you can learn from my videos. I agree the factory black/red is great looking but I'd really like to make it unique in some way.
Loving the Tri Z content so far 😁 That bottle on the right side is a boost bottle from factory. If you're going oem look than ignore this but some guys make top mounted fuel tanks for these. They should still have them somewhere but look for a billet waterpump shaft/impeller. These have a plastic one that's a weak point. Also be careful of trying to kick over that motor without a foot peg or even a bent one. It can crack the right side case. Not sure why you'd do it but just so you're aware. Can't wait for more videos Mike!!
I like the idea of modern Yamaha Blue, dark blue and black theme would be like a tribute to what it would look like on the showroom floor of a dealer today.
When’s the next vid? Loving the content recently and love the full motor builds! Keep it up man!
I used to own an 85 Tri-z 250 back in mid 90s. Yellow and black.
She's definitely a shelf queen, not meant for closeup viewing.
"Shelf Queen" I love it lol
Definitely keep the rims gold. The blue/white or red/while plastics are my favorite. Awesome video. Keep it going man I watch all of them.
Original Yellow and black easy super clean Colorway looks great and timeless 👌🏾
Im sure the welded triangular portion on the exhaust is more of a brace than for flow. I could be wrong but it looks like an aluminum exhaust and pipe and aluminum cracks easier especially when introduced to higher heat and vibration scenarios. So it really does need it or over time im sure it would crack otherwise. However aluminum also is better for dispersing the heat away and cool quicker as well as stay cooler easier, atleast in this case. Not to mention lighter than steel counterpart!
I work at a body shop for a living and they make bumper stripper in a rattle can. It's for plastic and it strips clear coat and paint off plastic bumpers. Just throwing it out there just Incase you didn't kno. Works great
The blue and yellow with gold wheels is probably my favorite design
Blue frame, blue seat, blue air filter cover, white fenders, and the gold wheels looks good. I’m totally against painting plastics but the air filter cover, headlight housing, and radiator shrouds don’t flex enough for the paint to flake off using the plastic specific paints.
I don't know what was more hilarious, how he said the trike was molested or those LED headlights
I honestly like the look of the blue frame and the yellow plastics
Love it, I can easily lose an entire day watching your videos ❤❤❤
Just watched your ASPCA finale video and thought I'd put a comment next to this recent video so you would see it! Regarding battery polarity. If the terminals are the wrong way arround, probably not recommended, but if you flatten the battery completely and reverse charge it, should be fine. I did this with a Yuasa battery for a Honda 250, ran it for a couple of years with no problems starting etc! Hope you still have that incorrect battery sitting arround! Great content, thank you👍
Could you do a video on how you restore your old plastics? Would be super interesting!! Love the builds🙏🏻
Yesss please 🙏🙏🙏
You should do the red white and blue with gold rims like a 1986 Honda xl 600r, you could keep the blue and white with gold rims and make the air filter cover red and bars and clutch levers red and the swing arm red
I can confirm what Austin atv said, I just swapped a warrior shock in my Tri z and it was a direct bolt in.
Thank you for this info man!
I like the blue/black/gold combo the best. I think it's an awesome combo of yamaha's old style and modern colors. Excited to see it come together!
I love the idea of the gold or silver rims with the blue and white. The blue and white with the black air box cover is my favorite. I really want to see what you do about the clutch because my clutch is no better than the one you have. I have mine redone if you want any help. Keep up on the good work and amazing videos.
That black and blue is beautiful
I stripped the paint on a set of dirt bike fenders recently.. turned out fantastic.. minimal effort also.. just kept applying the stripper and using a stiff bristle paintbrush to work at the wrinkled paint.
That's the method I usually use; as long as the plastics weren't scuffed before painting it is too bad.
Yeah for sure!! I lucked out and there was no prep on my project before they were spray painted.. keep rocking and rolling dude! Love the videos.. if you ever get up to Wisconsin area hit me up would love to rip some shit up with you!
Do the black and blue with gold wheels it looks so good in that color scheme 🤘
You know all I do is live and breathe off-road two wheels 3 wheels 4 Wheels you name it!. I've always told my wife, we should Aldi on the cover of like you name it ATV dirt bike power sport off-road magazine! I should have subscribed a long time ago especially as long as I've been watching your videos. Can't wait to see part 2
Yes I did just subscribe
Citrus Strip will take the paint off and leave the finish really nice. It isn't super toxic like some paint removal chemicals. LOVE THE CHANNEL, LOVE THIS SERIES! BTW, mothers aluminum polish does an amazing job restoring plastics.
I'll have to try citrus strip! Thanks for the tip. Not sure if you watched the Blaster series but I used Mothers to restore those fenders and you're not joking man, it worked amazing!
Shhh don’t let them know about the mothers mag polish .. lol. Seriously that polishes a lot more then just mags and a must have for me.
I like the blue and white plastics, but the gold wheels are a must! And I normally like black rims more...
Dude I've got to change my work schedule. I work literally everytime you upload. I get so excited for your videos and I get teased by the notification but can't watch it. Can't wait to watch it dude. Love the work you do for us
Dude this is such a big compliment; at least they're not going anywhere, you can watch them whenever 🤘
@MichaelSabo I just find it hilarious. I get so excited then remember I just get to be teased for a few hours. I got off early today though so it's time to watch this
The 80s cr250 had same boost bottle but was hooked straight to the reed cage I think.
I wonder if it's effective though
Red plastics black wheels looked awesome 👌
I vote do the frame in the early 2000s YZ blue on the bike frames. Then the engine needs some bronze or gold cerakote to break it up. Too much black paint there. That with white plastics would really pop.
Dude, blue with yellow plastics and gold wheels look sick
You have inspired me to try and get a 4wheeler. (Banshee) I had a quad when I was young and it was a blast! (Yamaha Blaster 😂) I have a SXS Can-Am X3, but crave the 2 stroke life as well. Time to start saving because they are not cheap and they seem to be banning 2 strokes like they are a virus! 😂
Black and yellow looks good
Yellow, Blue and Gold looks awesome
Cool project. I know it's not a full on barn find but these bikes are collectible and getting more so every year. I would vote for restoring it to stock and enjoying it the way it was designed to be ridden. Doing something custom is only going to lower its re-sale value. Go with the white/red color scheme. And throw in some LED bulbs inside the existing headlights. Those ones you picked look like the fly.
Im with you man, its not a restoration if you change colors. Its a molestation.
Citristrip works great on plastic for removing paint and its safe brush it on and wait for it to start lifting up then just spray it away I've had great luck many times with it
I really think that blue and white looks awesome!
I love when the resell-able parts hit the garbage can dude 😂
Black sparkle frame, yellow plastic with the vintage yamaha yellow graphic scheme that has those black box with white outlines type thing. Black rear beadlocks with gold rings. Black seat cover with those yellow swoop stripes. Black ⅞ protapers with yellow cross bar pad. Matte black swingarm to offset the black sparkle frame
i like the red n green it wild . think about it no one else hsve one this color scheme. makes it look wild the scheme.
It would definitely be identifiable lol
Anybody else jonesing for a Sabo vid? 13 days and counting. Dude!
Thanks for making three wheeler content!! Hopefully you’ll teach me some stuff about my own TRI-Z
Thank you for watching man! I will share everything I learn about it along the way.
Dude, polished 10" aluminum wheels w/beadlocks in the rear, and polished front wheel with blue hubs front and rear.
I love the look of 10s with smaller wheels on these and I imagine it would make for easy sliding; I like the idea!
I genuinely think the bumble bee looks the best. Gold wheels. Yellow plastics and black frame. Nothing too exciting but it really suits it best in my opinion
I LOVE the job you do on those machine
I like yellow plastics with the blue frame and headlight housing
I think that looks surprisingly good as well, thanks for the feedback!
So, I’m thinking that gold wheels with black bead locks or black wheels with gold bead locks would look FABULOUS on it with the black plastics and blue frame, head light housing, and seat. Then get the original Tri-Z graphics made, but have them made in blue. It would have an “original vibe” mixed with an “OEM vibe”, and that would be the ultimate restomod scheme. That’s just my opinion. Plus, bead locks are super important on sport trikes for the back wheels because you do steer with the rear often when you ride fast. Last thing you want is to slide into a rock or root and kick it off the bead. The front wheel could use a bead lock if you ride in rocky areas, but if you plan on it being a dune toy then it’s not as important. Hit up Blake over at BVC, he has done some Tri-Z’s and can probably point you in the direction for many parts. Also, D&D restoration restores these old machines and has access to new old stock parts for many machines. After I finish my 250R I’m looking at maybe doing a Tecate 3
That would be a trick color scheme, I hadn't thought about beadlocks but you're right, I wouldn't want to pop a bead doing a powerslide with a trike lmao. It sounds like BVC is going to be involved with the build in some way which I'm stoked about!
@@MichaelSabo BVC makes a SWEET LED head light replacement for most trikes. It doesn’t look too bad and it’s crazy bright
Black and blue. With black rims. Looks great
Man I wish you lived closer I wouldn't mind being the apprentice to "The Man"
Greg at Off Road Innovations carries Tri-Z parts--also Tecate. I believe he recently had Z headlight bezels made. He also sells billet intakes (for big carbs) and V-force reeds for it. The little triangle on the DG silencer is made for support, not flow. The 85 has the stock shock reservoir, the 86 doesn't. It should be adjustable. The 85 Z had a 5 speed transmission, the 86 a 6 speed. Look for the "Wrench Report" online. It is an old Dirt Wheels article about modifying the Z engine--add another Boyesen port to the intake track (it only comes with one). It makes a big difference. Talon makes a billet basket for the Z--or at least use to. It is listed under the YZ 250 (early to mid 80s), not Tri-Z.
I'm digging the blue on black with gold wheels. I'm sure you're gonna pick the right color scheme. All of those looked really good, with the blue and black.
I think the black plastics and blue frame is the way to go. You can restore most of the plastics to the original color and it looks awesome. Now the black or blue seat cover I’m unsure about
Paint sway arm. I that look good. White and blue was sharp Can’t wait see what you do with it. Man
You're right, I forgot to do the swingarm
Blue and white w/ gold wheels is the way to go !! I also like the blue tank too I know it will suck to paint tho
