This is a 2007 Polaris Predator 500. A subscriber reached out to me telling me it had been sitting in his friends shed for 3 years and he’d take 500 bucks for it… GAME ON! Definitely an odd machine filled with strange parts and goofy mods (spoiler grab bar.) In the end, this quad was hella fun to rip and a great learning experience.

Is this a re-upload??
@@ruvimnemets6303 not exactly if you go back to previous videos he explains he is going to show full build videos, he has done a few other videos like this

No more 5.0 bro ur so old school that was over 20 year's now that we called the cops 5.0 their called 12 nowadays or jump out Boyz but 12 mostly lol 🤣😆
hello, I need spare parts for this motor, please tell me where to find them, get in touch with me, I'm from Russia
Hey man, I am disabled (IED in Afghanistan) I live vicariously through your video here this was my first video. I watched every minute. I cant wait to watch another one. Thank you for it. It actually brighted my day up.
Thank you for your service have a great day
Trauma dumb
Thanks for your service. Mike's channel is the best. Step by step. God bless man!!
Thank you for your sacrifice to your country.
I seriously enjoy watching these rebuild videos. Your ability to make an hour plus video interesting is commendable. Great content and a ton of work! Keep it up
This contents some of the best on UA-cam for this kind of stuff. I have an 01 yz so I really enjoyed the grape ape build. Keep up the awesome videos!
Thank you Allen!
dude yes. most people don’t go into deep full detail. this guy definitely does not cut corners. awesome vids!
Dirt bike guy here... But I love any videos that go in depth on repairing and rehabbing old motorsport vehicles. I myself rehab dirt bikes as a form of therapy. Keep it up. Love your videos.
Awesome video. Predator engine is made by Fuji in Japan, which is why it's metric but the rest of the machine is standard.
I was an intern at Polaris in '03 and '04 and remember that model well.
Mike you should just build a shop and buy a bunch of broken down sport quads and do whole hour long videos of rebuilding them because this is the most entertaining thing I’ve watched
Right on point brotha; I've been looking at real-estate to do that for some time now 🤘
im so glad i found this page. I can now sit and watch these videos for hours at a time with a beer in hand and its perfect👏🏻
I love how complete your videos are! You don’t make us wait for the next video to see more progress, that takes a lot of patience on your part and we appreciate it 🤙
Ur vids helped me invest into all my quads. Bringing back one sport quad at a time. I started with one banshee. Basket case. Thay flip turned into 8 banshee baskets and 6 other random sport quads. My kfx450r motor is done and I built it with no manual, just ur vid, and all my parts in bags. I'm now dedicated to bringing them back one at a time even if I don't make money. 87 250x is up now. Motor is almost done. Anyway love the vids, I can't see stopping tuning into ur channel anytime soon. Keep it up bro!!!
Bro I always love your comments; it's really awesome to hear that you used my KFX video as a manual 🤘👊
⁸thank god they werent successful on splitting the cases. Dodged a bullet there Mike
Love your approach to cleaning up the ports. No overzealous hogging just matching transitions and casting flash. A blueprint you could almost say.
I've always thought people were crazy watching hour long UA-cam videos, I've watched many channels for years and could never do it and this is the second hour long video of yours I've watched in a row, you make it entertaining and that hour flies by so fast. Such a great video, keep it up!
"This is a great deal" Man, you have such a positive view man. The fact that you can see it ever running is amazing.
I started watching your channel around 1 month ago, I wish I recognised your channel way earlier. You are very under rated!
Killing it as always mike, I own my own trash company and can’t tell you the bikes I have came across at work and this was one of them it was a great bike flipped it made tons of money! PS for grip glue I use clear coat spray paint a couple sprays in the grip an your ready to go!
Thank you bro! Spray paint is the reigning champ for me too!
I've tried hair spray before, maybe I should try that next time
I use chain wax supper tacky and is usable within minutes doesn't take much either
@@MichaelSabo there's a video for ya, grip glue comparisons 😂
I put dawn dish detergent...if I don't have any clear coat
Been waiting for another video to drop. Makes for a good Friday
I appreciate you watching Kris!
I usually never comment on youtube, but honestly - after watching 2-3 videos of yours I'm mighty impressed. Your videos are made whole heartedly and the content is significantly higher than average. Keep doing what you're doing, its just a matter of time before you're one of the biggest youtubers. Also, have you considered doing motorcycle rebuilds?
I just spent 5 years stationed in Germany and my bike sat the whole time... Watching you videos is getting my motivated to get it back up and ripping. haha
Another great one Mike. Bro when you dropped that crank right in only to realize the rod was pinned inside the case, I'm like that's me that's my life. Glad to see it happens to others lol 😅. Just like me though you always get it done 👍🏼
Just came in from a little rip on my kfx400, and saw the notification that you uploaded. Loved this predator
Thank you for watching WIlliam, I liked this one too
This was a crazy basket case that turned into a trail monster.
100% man!
Yeah yeah dude you a beast .and thank you for the knowledge and confidence . I always been an 4 wheeler rider had a few but I got older and the kiddos came. Never got to get back into them. But watching you and how much fun you have means I got to get me a bomber and get it up on all 4. But yeah thank you for all you do ..Great job with all your builds.
Watched a couple of these very well presented and and interesting to watch and well edited. Will be watching more for sure
Just bought the same quad, a guy had it sitting for years and got it off his hands good to see you bringing it back from the dead, keep it up brother 🙏❤️ I’m learning from you brother 🙏🙏
Really like your videos. Finally somebody who knows how to pack bearings. Keep them coming.
Watching your show brings me back to my childhood when I bought my first atv which was a limited edition 2004 Yamaha warrior.. I miss the days in the woods and racing in the fields.. I'm from shelbyville indiana..
Even though I've downgraded to a kawasaki bayou 4x4, I'm able to haul the kiddos around much easier..
Thanks for making this channel..!!
You have filled my head once again with the dreams of trailriding along blue river...!!!
I’m really enjoying these full build videos. It would be awesome to see you find it and go through it again to see what happened and fix it. Nice work though!
Just found your channel today while on a off day in camp, these longer videos are insane and your awesome
Very nice. Luved the no nonsense and fast narration.
Well done on the rebuild…….looks like a fun quad.
Thank you bro!
I applaud your dedication to sarcasm in this video specifically 😂
Haha, glad you like it man!
I’m rebuilding a Kawasaki z1000 I picked up real cheap. It has been sitting for Over 6 years. Just waiting on some finishing parts but I’ve already got it running and riding perfect. Love watching stuff that has been discarded and left for dead back to life
That's awesome to hear man; good luck with the 1000!
Sweet love watching ur videos keeps my brain going while at work. Currently working on a 03 kfx 400 big bored to 440 just got the new hmf full exhaust system and jets and shoo wee she's a blast now waiting on the longer swing arm and a arms
I appreciate you watching man; good luck with your 400!
I got a 06 kfx 400 hight compression piston stage 2 hot cams trail tech lightened flywheel k&n open air box lid full hmf exhaust and a few other mods I can't think of right now but she is a beast for a 400 very awesome machine I'll never sell mine 🤣
@@ipawdmaster question so my full hmf exhaust came with 3 different inserts my bike has a bad bog problem what one would be better to use. Also I don't have the jet kit for hmf till Monday
Definitely need to mess with jetting
@@ipawdmaster it's 100% the jetting just waiting for the jet kit is the sad part
i love your work Michael..really like the flow of your videos,Im checking for new uploads constantly.Dont change anything...Greetings from Greece.
You do amazing work my man!! Keep it up!! Great vid!
Just a note for welding cracks. Drill a hole at the end of the crack and rosette weld it back.
Drilling a hole at the end of the crack will stop it propageting further.
Well that is the best one I've seen on utube. A person that knows what he is doing well done
Love your builds, I like to watch people rebuild not destroy. And you are one of the best channels for quad rebuilds. Look forward to your content!
Always have to donate a little blood to your work, haha.
Dude! Your videos have gone parabolic in quality! This is awesome content right here! Keep up the great work bro. Thank you.
Im on a big ATV craze right now just binge watching your rebuilds need more videos haha
Thank you for your videos! This one helped me figure out the popping on my bike
Thank you for watching, glad this could help!
Sick video dude. Keep it up, I watch these builds all the way through,so entertaining!
Thank you for watching til the end man 🤘
Always awesome to see old machines resurrected
Watching this makes me miss my 03 Predator, thank you for the memories
Another great build man! Good work! Your builds are always great to watch!
Man I love waking up to a new quad vid. Keep it up
Thank you for watching man!
I mean Michael has every tool imaginable to make it happen. I love it
Top end noise sound just like mine. Predator motors have always had what seems like loud noise on top of motor. You do really nice work. Top notch channel
Such awesome content!! I was waiting for another Polaris restoration!
Very cool! I'm in the middle of rebuilding an 06 Suzuki LTR 450... I'm feeling inspired now...
This was definitely a phillywheelieboi quad at one point in its life. love the builds man keep em coming!
Killing it man, great video. You make this stuff look too easy and make me want to tear my bike down to rebuild it!
I picked up a 2003 Polaris predator 500cc on Facebook marketplace place. The guy couldn’t get it running anymore. Turn out to be a completely trashed new carb. He had the old OEM one and I did a full rebuild and fix some electrical issues and she runs like a beast now. Bought it for $1000 and put $300 into it. Win win.
Haha sick build dude. That spoiler was tooo clean 😦 rip in piece
🤘😂
Just came across your channel for the first time yesterday and watched the Tri-Z build.
I really like your ingenuity when it comes to working through problems you wind up coming up against.
I enjoy your content, the voodoo banshee video was nuts. It reminded me of the time I rebuilt a banshee I had so nice nostalgia goin on.
Keep em’ coming bro!🤙🏻
Another quality video for the family to watch!!! Danke mein bruder mit liebe
Good job on showing as muck as you can without focusing on to much to long. Also nice to see what is being bought
Thank you for watching and for the feedback!
Mike I got to tell you I freaking love your videos you explain so good what you’re doing and i learning from you a lot on engine build I wed love if you explain more some important thing on engine build
Love you man thank you ❤️
Awesome video and insane restoration! Thank you for this amazing content!
Thank you for watching it 🤘
Love the way you put this video together!
Gotta work on one tomorrow. Perfect timing for this video
Hi ther ive just started watching ur channel and i am realy enjoying the vids u are putting out. 💪👌🔥 Keep up the good work..
Thank you for watching and for the compliments!
Love the full build videos. Everything you post I like and comment just to show support. Love your content. Reason why I love the full build videos best is because it’s like rolling highlights and not 2 hours of porting over a series LOL but even if it is I’ll still be there to watch 👍
I love watching your videos dude. Im a dirt bike guy at heart but I still enjoy watching you bring these quads back to life! You really have a lot of talent and great content! I hope one day I will have the skill and knowledge to rebuild engines like you do!
Do more videos like this my guy with the parts and everything on the computer love how you show case what you bought supper entertaining g
As rough as it is you really scored! Looking forward to the build. I'm betting you can pull it together in a week. 🤘🏻
Nice video!!
It was fun to watch!👍
Thank you for watching!
Love the vids you did a awsome job on this build and all your builds. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Keep up the great work.
Nice work man! Good god that can't be cheap to rebuild one of these things!
Yeah they are funky machines, loved the video I cant wait to see the voodoo banshee
Thank you man! Voodoo coming soon!
You did a good job on that one sucks to hear it's broken again but that is the joy of the toys
Aye man, it happens sometime!
Really nice video i always watch your videos with my freetime thanks for making such great videos michael
These videos are the best, fun and cool to watch plus I always learn something.
i like the full build its nice , lots of wip on you tube that never gets finish, good job
This quickly became my favorite youtube channel 😊
I appreciate that; thank you man! 🤘
thank you man for this good content keep up the good work Love from the netherlands 🇳🇱 💪
Awesome I watched the whole video and loved it. Thank you 😊.
ou man you have done such a great job restoring this quad, and giving it away for free, only to then get informed that the winner sold it and it got abused to its death...what a bummer in the and man...so sry to hear bro!
But i really enjoy your videos man. iam learning so much when watching your vids and you are a funny guys as well. keep on making vids and dont let stuff like this ruin your fun in making vids like those.
greetings from germany my man!!!
Im addicted to these rebuild videos!
Dope video been hooked on your channel for a few weeks now !
You are literally my favorite youtuber and I binge watch your channel like bro your content is so good and entertaining definitely keep putting out vids👍🏻
Awesome compliment man! Thank you 🤘
Fastest quad I’ve owned. A few bolt on mods and you have a monster!
Another awesome build! I love watching these things! I even watch my own build videos 😜
As far as grips go if you’re not using the odi lock on grips you’re sleeping. Not sure if they make them for quads but they make them for dirt bikes. Totally changed my riding experience. No more worrying about spray paint, glue and safety wire holding my grips on..
Thanks 🙏 for the update, I was hoping you had an update on it. You did such a great job mike. I like re-watching the builds from over the years that you have done, your editing is so good, I can’t lie tho I love when you get mad and cuss LMAO 🤣 idk 🤷♂️ why it’s just so funny to me… #BasketCaseGarage
Lmao, that's just a part of the process man; I feel we've all been there at some point 🤘🤘
Hell yeah sabo. Looking forward to seeing you at siharah and badlands meet up!
I plan to be at both bro, see you there 🤘
When is badlands meet up?
@@johnbruzzi4381 it is June 10th-11th 🤘🤘
I really enjoy watching your videos!👍🏽
you seriously need a tv show this is 100000000000x better than any motorsports show i have ever seen.
If you’re worried about your flywheel key breaking you can apply. Small amount of green loc-tite sleeve retaining compound on the taper.
The engine is metric because it's made by subaru in japan. (Fuji Heavy Industries). That is also the reason wht crank bearings are hard to come by, because they parted ways and Fuji stopped making replacement parts).
They also made that bearing specifically for the predator/outlaw 500 instead of using a common bearing size like literally ever other manufacturer does in order to make production prices cheaper and continue part supply after manufacture. I spoke with Polaris directly during this whole deal lol.
I glad you mentioned this I've been looking for a project quad and these predators are cheap on marketplace
Can't wait for quad wars again man. My favorite time of the year
Dude your Home looks awesome, plenty space to test dirtbikes and quads....huge Garage as workspace, nice 😁👍
Greetings from Germany 😉
bro i love your content really like how you go through everything and probably 1 of the best channels
I truly enjoy watching your videos
Whoever did the work before you…. Yikes. good things you always treat these quads right
Yes sometimes the previous work is rough 😂
Id like to say I learn alot from your videos especially the quadzilla build and the trx/atc 250r build since I own both of them and am going to be doing an engine topend build on the quadzilla this spring and doing a full restoration on my 85 atc 250r and hopefully be able to save enough to buy a set of billet cases and do a 330 kit on it....the 250 runs great as is and has been great for the past 13 years that iv had it but I want more power and speed out of it plus to look good.....THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEOS!! You do awesome work !!!
Cutting that taper in each end of the steering shaft for the weld was a nice touch.
Just discovered the channel but I’m digging it so far very informative
Been waitin, Boy!!!
My maaaan 🤘 thank you Lee!
ive watched so many of your videos that im considering trying to do what you do, love from South Africa. used to race a semi modded blaster 200. damn this makes me miss it
I had one of these and loved it, great video
