#2stroke #yamaha #banshee
Hey guys this is a 1990 Yamaha Banshee. This is the first quad I restored on this channel when I had ZERO subscribers. The first time around I had about $1700 into the restoration. There is a 4mil build breakdown video that I did after the build and lots of videos covering the entire process (cringe warning)

Rest assured I’ve been here sense the very beginning.
@@chandlergodwin7755 thank you for supporting for so long bro 🤘
...First comes Passion...
...Gearhead...
I didn't know you were one of those guys too bro Put in Chinese parts In your quad Hope them 4 years and all them subs Taught you something But it does sound good Considering
@@daleskiog7499CS Ballin on a budget man
I’m glad you point out your mistakes and educate others.
Duuuddeee he stops and takes time to recap and educate others on his on mistakes I love it and haven’t found it anywhere else.
U should do full video builds of the complete build again. Even tho I watched clip after clip as u build. But nothing bets a full wrap up of everything. And u should make a 2nd UA-cam channel where u post these hour++ long videos and full engine builds from start to finish. 2nd stream of income. I just a real big fan of your work and how u explain and film your work!!!!
These full build videos are awesome man. They have been powering me through my 400EX restoration that I'm in the middle of. My wife and I watch them and they motivate us to get in the garage and work on our quads. Wish you the best on a speedy recovery bro.
Thank you for the feedback and good luck with the 400EX restoration man! I'm glad I could motivate you and your wife!
Yes they are
You should upload some videos of it! Not a lot of quality 400ex content available on UA-cam.
Right I feel the same way about the predator 500 build it's making me want to do a big bore on mine and use the cams that he didn't use because I do more trail riding Videos are very informational very helpful and very inspirational
miss my 03 bug eye got a 06 450r style
And for those that dare... (cringe warning) These are the time stamps with links to all my original videos 🤘

I had an 89 Banshee that I built up with the help of Trinity Racing back in 1995. It was a crazy bike built for shooting the dunes in California. I was 16 and did a complete frame up. It was a stage IV 420 long rod with their custom nitrous kit. Watching you build this bike up brought back good memories. Thank you!
Sounds insane bro.
The iconic banshee !!! Those videos were badass back then too!!
Thank you Dave, thanks for watching, even back then!
Leaving my comment now so when people look back at this video in 10 years they see me.
You’ve got some amazing complete build videos now!
Watching this at 11:30 pm day before school starts :) great.
Really liking these style of videos that you’ve been putting out lately, I also like the detailed videos on the 250r as well. It’s awesome that you point out your old mistakes and to see how far you have come.
Thank you for the feedback Tanner! 🤘
Beau travail il est magnifique 🔥
Dude you’re a beast . I wish one day I can buy a custom quad done by you .
people that spray paint a quad like this deserved a slap in the face hahaha ... you did an awsome job man !!
This was the first video I watched, great to see it back
Thank you for watching my old school stuff man!
You are the best Mike! I used your 4 mil build as a guide for my first full rebuild. I've learned so much and am still learning. I have never done big bore as I ride rough trails in Northern Ontario Canada. First top end I used was am port job and 66.5 bored out stock jugs, so on their last cut. Last spring right cylinder blew from sucking sand in the carb because I got someone else to to jet carb and he forgot to put balance hose back on carbs. This time I had Bondi port another set of stock jugs I had, but only bored to 65.5 and I used his jetting recommendations. The difference is incredible. It has power all threw the band now, whereas before it had no bottom end. Only power when it got on the main jet. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see what you do next!
I live right near bondi ... perhaps see you out on the trail .
It’s a good day when Michael uploads an hour long video.
I appreciate it Aidan 🤘
Bro , I built a 1986 250r and a 1987 banshee , by watching your banshee videos and the 250r engine rebuild with Dave Moore . You the man , and helped me a TON with your content , advice , etc
That's worth a pretty penny now! What an unbelievable job you've done with that one leaving no stone unturned. A lot of hard work,but definitely worth it.
It's crazy how much these things have gone up in value. Thanks for the comment and for watching my video!
Mad respect to you Sabo, your build video showed how much you pay attention to detail and meticulous on your cleanliness, yet when you take it out to ride you do it with authority with out concern of your fresh build getting mud/dirt and rocks bouncing off it !
I love working on quads and traditional v8s and v6s. But I've always wanted to restore quads/bikes for a side hobby. Very expensive... but it is very enjoyable. Michael Sabo is my favorite UA-camr of all time. Keep it up!!!
Wow, thank you Kaine!
My dad used to have a Banshee very similar to this one. It also was spray painted black with the paint peeling. His got stolen about 10 years ago. Great restoration job!
Dude that was an awesome build. I love how you address every part of the machine down to the nuts and bolts awesome attention to detail. Looking forward to phase 3.
Man I wanna see you build a Yamaha warrior so bad! You do the best full build videos I’ve ever saw. I hope one day I get too see a warrior build from you.
I have a 1999 Banshee. Some people say you are rebuilding 2-strokes when you are not riding them. I know they are exaggerating, but when they are running right, they are reliable and great fun. Beautiful quad.
I got my first Banshee through some work and trading audio equipment installation. Right after getting I realized someone really rode the hell out of it and just didn’t take care of things the way I do. So I ended up redoing the entire thing it was Red white and black like yours , because of how far it had been bored I could bore it once more before sleeving it so with wiseco pistons I bored it all the way, it was so crazy fast as you know you can’t possibly get all the power to the ground it’s fun trying though .I raced it for about two years , my favorite was always getting extra parts gear or money for hole shots because a Banshee is going to take it every time . Sold it after a while but so much fun to own . I was like you I couldn’t leave it alone so I redid everything I possibly could to make it better safer and faster . Your Banshee looks great man
Thanks!
Dude I can't believe I missed this; thank you so much for the super thanks!!
Always wanted a Banshee since I first set eyes on one! Mike definitely had a huge influence on me pulling the trigger and finally making the purchase plus me getting my family into getting out and riding. Keep it up bro!
so crazy to see how far youve come from this build, ive been watching for years and still love all the content!
Thank you for watching for so long man!
Such a great video…. Damn thing looked like it had power out there! I love that! High rev, 2 stroke power band, and a 6th gear! The banshee is badass!
Thank you Jeff! No doubt banshees are badass 🤘
@@MichaelSabo you know watching your channel now is my favorite thing to do, all the new parts and explanations of them are just so awesome! I’m actually learning a lot from you! Your doing great for our banshee atv 2 stroke community 👍🏼
Finally. Been dying to watch this 😁
Thank you for tuning in!
@@MichaelSabo you're welcome. Watching you originally build this got me into banshees and now I have one I am almost finished and spent 20k on doing a full restoration and built motor. So thank you for getting me into the atv world
@@hepworth1086 thats awesome man; it's got to be badass I'm sure! Good luck with finishing the build 🤘
I love your builds. You do these things RIGHT!! I can't stand watching people work on stuff that is just filthy, then they put it back together filthy! Keep up the great videos!! Edit: Nobody builds like you do. Absolute joy to watch! Heal up dude!!!
Yeah, that drives me nuts too. How can a person stand to work with all that mud, dirt, and grease build-up dropping back into their engines and getting all over themselves?
I haven’t ever clicked any video faster. Know this will be a killer video as always! 🤙👊
Thank you for the support always Jake 🤘
Killer job Mike- well done hour flew by editing was perfect too. Hope the shoulder heals up can’t wait for the next series!!
Thanks for the love on my channel and the shoulder bro!
I bought a 2007 Honda trx250ex that the front of the frame (suspension arms, grab bars , and ect....) were rattle-canned gloss black. I simply took a high power pressure washer and got all the paint of, primered it, and painted it the origional grey color to match. I enjoyed seeing you restore your frame and your quad in general, thanks for the great content.
I just watched this entire video, I know nothing about quads or engines, was just pecking around on YT killing time and stumbled on it, I gotta say I loved it from start to finish, cool stuff!!! 👊
Thanks for another long video. Please do more. I will watch every one. Maybe do a blaster, warrior, Wolverine 350, or 400 scrambler to as a sport utility on the channel. I would love to see you, John and Wes go mudding. I think it would be awesome to do a Quad warz with a 400 scrambler and a wolverine 350
All great ideas man; thank you for watching my videos; I'm glad you like the new format!
I had a 97 Yamaha Worrior, i put an A- arm kit a durablue axle, Works shocks and more. I put the 366 big bore kit in it. I brought it to the track that would let us run on. The reason why i bought the warrior is because of the electric start and reverse, the Banshee would have been too powerful for my wife anyways lol.
This dude just kicks ass in all his videos. I can’t stop watching
Sick BUILD!!! i just picked up a polaris 400cc 2 stroke scrambler and a dinli 50cc 2 stroke for 400 bucks gonna go nutz with the scrambler Cant wait. havent had a quad in yrs and my son is going to be a spoiled wild child. lol. Great Video man!!!
This video came in clutch as I'm working on a 421 banshee right now thank you brother for the awesome content this is my 3rd time watching it. Hope you shoulder is healing great 💪
Andrew, thank you for all the love as always brother 🤘
Real weapon - and from over 30 years ago. Great rebuild 🇬🇧
I'm more of a dirtbike guy, but seeing that 2 cylinder 2 stroke makes me want a banshee. Alot of us ride in my town, and a guy had one, but i had no idea how cool it was back then.
One kick start looks good to me
i have 89 i do the samething u did we spend a lot money in this machines awsome video
Thank you brother, awesome to hear you have an 89'
Man, what an amazing video! I was glued to my phone the entire time. Recent subscriber, and I honestly can’t get enough of your content. Hope you have a speedy recovery from the surgery. Take care!
Nice quad my friend, I have a old 81 ATC 250r my Dad baught in 86 when I was born. I would expect everything that quad had to offer just being it's a 2 stoke and you just can't beat 2 stroke power or power band. I have been riding Bike's sense I was in diapers, have the pictures to prove it. My buddy had a Honda TRX 450r with an HRC kit put on it and that bike was scary just because it was so twitchy. I so prefer a Trike or Three Wheeler to a four wheeler, but I have been watching your video's for a couple of weeks now and you're making me take a harder look at the quads. Thanks for that by the way... You did a great job on that bike sounds sweet and I just love the smell of a 2 stroke. God Bless you my friend. Ride Hard, Be Safe, and most of all HAVE FUN!
Love this new video format Mike. So much info packed into a video that is not only informative but easy to follow. Great Job buddy.
Love you Dave
421 is like a big block Chevy in a shopping cart... Love the sound of the dual exhaust.
Best hr. On you tube I've spent in years. Dude I wish I had your knowledge on building quads I currently have 3 Chinese quads and done minor things to. But wow this video was a huge inspiration. Prayers for the surgery and hope all is well.Godspeed
Thank you for the prayers man and it all comes with time; I started with a chinese Panterra 90... lol so I've been there man! I'm glad I could inspire you and best of luck in your future projects!
Perfect mix between education and building sick quads. Really enjoyed the amount of riding in this one. Keep up the good work 💪🏻
Man I’m so glad I subscribed. This is so awesome to watch from start to finish. Love the DIY videos. Killer stuff keep it coming!
Thank you for subscribing and for the compliments Robert!
You give a new life to a old legend Respect!!😃😊❤
takes someone with a certain amount of patience and knowledge to take on a project like a restoration. beautiful job mike
Im currently restoring my 2000 banshee and its nearly done. And I'll probably be at the march banshee event in glamis this year
Over here in Dubai, we still run those banshees and they're still one of the fastest quads around, I've always loved banshees ever since the 90s!
ive been going thru a breakup, and these vids have kept me so distracted from everything. thanks for putting out these long and detailed videos brother🙏🏼much love
Banshee is the best looking best sounding quad of all time hands down! That sound takes me back to my childhood. I am still riding my 1981 honda atc 250 my dad bought it brand new. # farfromstock lol
You are so humble about your mistakes it really makes it easy for us to learn and avoid those mistakes ourselves!!! Thanks brother!! Killer video!
Passenger side 🤐😂😂🤘 awesome video cant wait for the next phase
Thank you for supporting for so long bro!
Every one of your builds are so awesome. Nothing goes untouched. Please keep it up. Channel deserves wayyyyy more attention.
Cant wait for spring I have a feeling there will be some epic content
Awsome build! Banshee was first quad I ever rode and was instantly hooked! Save sport quads!
Can't tell you how jealous I am that you have that. ❤️
It's absolutely beautiful. My favorite quad ever made. 🙏
Inspired to get ah banshee again, never owned one but always wanted 1. Few friends let me ride their banshee before... addicting to say the least.
I hope the surgery went well and that recovery will be quick. It was nice to wake up to the complete history/build of the banshee. Been a sub for years and have watched that thing evolve. Im officially inspired to attempt a banshee build.
Great video from beginning to the end. I have actually followed the build from the beginning. It was nice to see it all over again. Kinda wish you added the valentine's day skit lol.... Anyone out there wondering about the build and power, I've rode it. It definitely makes alot of power for a "trail" machine....Can't wait to see how V3 comes out Mike !
Dude.... I'm actually upset right now that I didn't include the valentines day clip... Thank you for all the support over the years man; KFX full restoration video is coming soon 🤘
Definitely remember these videos back in the day! I remember I took your idea for those headlights and cut the bases down to get them to fit like you did. They held up well! Just sold that banshee recently to finance the trx 250r build I just started! Best at. Channel on youtube by far! Keep it up man!
Wow those wheels look brand new. Insane
can't wait to see the rebuild on her she is a great bike. hope surgery has went well and your doing good man.
Thank you for the love Carey; shoulder is getting better day by day!
I would love to see a video covering the tuning of the carbs. There are plenty of Yamaha dealers that won't even touch banshees for that very reason.
Michael your my favorite UA-cam to watch i always get excited when you upload and you definitely deserve more subscribers!
Watched on TV. Great vid. Blew up? No shame. Great build. Stroker motor. Pushing to limit. Still great build and content. U not to far behind me. I always wondered what inside those Suzuki motors. Now I know. Along with the others. Thank you. Love riding anything 2 stroke. Quads. U know what mean.
Loved the video. A tutorial on jetting would be awesome!
Absolutely love the format of the videos lately. The quality was always good, but it seems lately you've taken it to the next level.
Hi Michael
You Done An Absolutly Beautiful Job, A Lot Of Hard Work And Time... Very Well Done
Great video Mike really interesting to see just how in depth you got with the banshee….. keep those videos coming man.👍🏼
Thank you brother!
Thank you for the videos big brother , solid editing, great content
Glad you like it man, thank you for the support!
That bike is BEAUTIFUL!
Awesome work, definitely pay attention to detail. And Yea, the music definitely helps.
Thank you for your vidios, your knowledge, and for showing the process along with all the mistakes! You're an inspiration bro! You need know that!
Man you saved this Banshee ! Thank you
Loved watching this video LOL brought back memories from the 2010-2015 I was rebuilding a lot of Two Strokes made a lot of these mistakes. I have 5 buckets of pistons needle cage bearings and wrist pins. With various issues.. Most are melted due to plugged mains.. Common issue back in the day a bike would sit and someone would get on it and rip
Mike , I know this is the first one but , no pro would ever crack a bolt on that until they cleaned the outside of it ! And use the air gun to blow out the water in the head and cyls, before you take the topend off . And get a wrist pin puller ! Talk to a crank builder and you will learn how little force it takes to ruin the big end bearings. Love ya man .
Good video! Glad to see someone put effort towards making this kind of video for the rest of us banshee lovers. Although, I do wish u explained other things about the motor with detail, like how to adjust the idle, which screw is the idle screw? Wish u explained the rz350 hole inside the clutch cover by the kicker gear. How to correctly install the bottom end instead of flying through the video although we appreciate the Timelapse as well for those of us that already know how to build the motor. Overall very much appreciate the video and thank u for ur effort!
Awesome music, really cool time lapse....another dope video!!
Amazing video. I enjoy the build itself as well as the attention to detail in the actual video and edit. Very inspiring
Outstanding video. I really enjoyed watching the transformation. You did a great job! Thanks !
It’s one badass shee, you did such a good job. I absolutely love the channel. Hope your recovery is going good bro.
Thank you for the love Joey 🤘
Nicely done,love that color you went with on the frame.
Great video man, love the build👍
Thank you Aaron!
Another Great Video keep Grinding Mike
Thank you bro!
Love the Banshee, it's what brought me to the channel. I'm surprised you don't go ahead and just find another since you're already going to do a rebuild. Have the option for an a-arm frame instead of the j's. Also if they are going to be similar in performance new Quad Wars?!?! Get healthy Mike, can't get enough of the videos! I think it's about time for an ATC build. 🤔
Thanks for all the kind words Grayson; good point on getting an A-arm frame. This banshee has been beat pretty good man; it still runs great but its been years now and it's gonna need a refresh anyways so that's why I decided to do it on this one. ATC.... I like this idea bro
Well now that I have watched the 250R and the Banshee video I'd like to know which build you enjoyed more? And from a mechanical stand point which do you think will be easier to maintain over the long haul? both were great videos Mike. Keep up the good work. wishing you a speedy recovery!!
I like that you build a fresh engine and then do a full send the day after! Haha. Rings are seated, check!
Man that unit sounds so crisp Jesus christ what a beast 👏
Your first ride is Hilarious...!!!!! Love the build series..!
Brings me back to the 400 ex I did two years ago. That I have yet to hit the trails with
Beautiful quad man, as always great build and very educational.
Good luck in the surgery Mike! This video gave me renewed hope that I can get a broken bolt out of the header on my 1987 yamaha warrior - lol
Thank you man and good luck with the broken bolt!
Very cool video. This is my favorite channel. I hope you're healing fast and get back to awesome builds. I really enjoy it.
YAY another quad vid! Hope the shoulder is doing good :)
Thank you Eddie; its definitely getting better!
