Watch this Lakota Ripping in the snow and mud - ua-cam.com/video/HE9fD9d-jJA/v-deo.html
Thank you for watching and now I'll get back in the garage to work on the Blaster 🤘😎 You all ROCK!
Would u restore my 1985 honda atc 350x and by the way I love the videos keep it up man
@@chad7813 I’d love to man but I am not taking any customer work at this time. I have a 350X that I’ll be restoring most likely this year though!
Looks like your grinding wheel needs to be dressed.
Grinding Wheel Dresser $3.99 at harbor freight
Excited to see it 🙌🏼 starting to see you’re a big Kawasaki guy 👀😂
2 videos in a week, and a future plan for a 350X 😯😯😯
This dude is the best to ever done it...I almost feel like I can fix any atv or dirt bike just from watching his content...amazing guy
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel Like the blaster will win top quad. I'm such a fan of the simplicity of those machines and the fun factor is definitely there!!
I'm from the future. Lakota wins.
Mike, I think it would be really cool if you did a short video on just carbs. I'm interested in how you pick your jetting and tune them... perhaps any tips on what you check when cleaning them. I know the bare minimum to get me along and love your videos man 🤙
YES! VIDEO ON CARBS AND HOW TO PICK JETTING.
@@DyE0022 hell yea I make my own Jett’s drill out and tune it mint it’s something u got or u don’t 🤘
There is so many videos on UA-cam to teach you how to jet anything. Just do a search
@@specializ20 obviously.. but none by mike. I like his take on shit
I think the Blaster will win, the 300ex will pull on top and they will both walk the Lakota all the way around. My buddy had 2 Lakotas when we were young and they are dependable and take a beating. We sank one rode it home about 15 miles with the crankcase full of water and it just took it. He also stayed on the Rev limiter riding fludded ditches.
Watched this on the tv with some cold beer was a very good way to end the day after work even go the guy in the crew to sit down and watch it for a little bit
There’s a small engine repair dude (Steve’s small engine saloon) that swears by using gasoline in ziplock bags (with water in the ultrasonic). I have done this based on his advice and it worked great. No fumes and no mess and the whole part is pulled under. Thanks for the great content and cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I have not laughed that hard in a while when you did the fire on the tire, thank you
Lol, no problem John; glad I can give you a laugh!
This Quad wasn't just thrown together even though they Compromise on weight this Quad was built to last and I think they did a good job 👏 👍🏾
Nothing like the sound of a barking 4 stroke one of the best sounds ever
I agree; great sound!
Blaster sounds better and will run lap's around it!!! 🤣
Old DG pipes sound so good. I had a full DG exhaust on my warrior growing up and the neighbors hated it. Lol
From personal experience I've found that reverse bleeding those masters works nice. At least the few I've done on my sleds. Get a section of hose and siphon some brake fluid up into the hose. Put it on the open bleeder and put some pressure in the hose. It will push the air up through the return hole in the master. Air naturally goes up so it bleeds quicker as well. Had a dry master to a bled system in under 5 minutes that way
Always gotta put down the wrench and watch the new sabo video🤘🏼 keep up the great work man
Thank you brother 🤘
Finally a new video lets grab popcorn and enjoy🎉❤
🤘
The plastics come off just like my 91 Suzuki lt230e quadrunner which was a one owner with original tires when I got it.
That part of the 2x boiler in the ultrasonic.... I had no idea that was possible. Professor Sabo with a degree in ATV rebuilds! ❤
My DR650 also uses a carb with a membrane. A popular mod is to widen and drill an additional hole on the top of the slide to improve throttle response. It's far from necessary, but something to look into.
I'm rooting for the trailblazer but I think it's going to be the 300ex in my opinion the Lakota is heavy and in stock form the blaster is under powered but as you proved in the last series rider makes a big difference best of luck and can't wait to see top quad
Good predictions!
That exhaust is gonna flow so well I bet heat won’t even be an issue.
Could be but it was making me a little nervous with it being that close
Sounds excellent Mike. You always keep me entertained . Your videos really do keep me reeled in . And I'm always waiting to see what she said this time haha . 😄 Thank you Sabo.
Now, just to wait until tomorrow's video is uploaded ...
That Honda 300ex has to be the best of the 4. Just thinking bang for Buck wise. Don’t have much experience with the Lakota though so who knows how this will end! Looking forward to it!
Just got my new 2023 YFZ450r ordered and will be starting up my channel soon hopefully I can have as much success as some others. Love the content keep it up!
My Blaster back in the day with just pipe, silencer, Boysen reeds, twin air filter, and sprockets destroyed 300EX!! Ran side by side with a Polaris 400 sport till 55mph!!
Ain't nothin better than a Mike Sabo vid after work!
Dude watching your videos gave me the confidence to get and fix a 400ex, under 1k and beating 450s on the track lol
How to make a monday great?
Wait for mike to upload a 45min video
Comments like this make my Monday great; thank you Alex 🤘
The engineering on this quad is simply amazing. 👌
That cleaner works really well,nice job
Bittersweet seeing you put new decals over the plastics that the decals still look good on… can’t wait to watch the series!
_The Mojave is actually what would've been closer to the sports quad._ 💯💯
I think you're right but I wanted to have a semi-auto in the mix. She boogies pretty good though, you'll see in todays video!
Regarding the front brake master cylinder, check and make sure the little teeny hole isn't plugged up. It's just like a pilot jet, it gets clogged super easy and that will cause too much pressure but not allow it to build pressure. If it's not clogged then the seals are bad. Super sick looking bro. Can't wait to see the blaster too👍👍
Have you ever thought about a “viewer guest” for top quad ? You could do some type of contest or something 🤷♂️ I’d love to come and join y’all.
Totally right about the small cc quads sounding so mean. My brother and I had a 88 trx 125cc which we took the spark arrestor out of and it sounded like a 450 dirt bike comin down the street. Hilarious and awesome. Fun times.
100% man; makes for so much fun!
Two videos this week hell ya can't wait, and we all already know that honda is gonna eat the pack 🤙
The old Semi Auto Kawi's are so much fun to bomb around on!! Can't wait to see how it does on top quad!!!
Facts man!
Been waiting on the next upload 🤙
🤘
I've owned 3 Mojaves. Never a Lakota but right off the bat I'll say that is one of the prettiest shades of blue ever on a quad.
Great work on the Lakota thus far. Would be awesome to see a build on the Mojave as well.
My cousin had the Mojave. If I remember correctly it was a 250 which would explain the smaller size.
I have a locked up yz426f sitting in the garage, and every time I watch one of your videos, it reminds me, it still needs to be fixed
I love it lol makes me wanna buy one. Also just finished the video and UA-cam says posted 6 mins ago. Lmao gotta love it. And I just got a blaster yesterday( well my buddy did ) good work today in the shop!
Thanks for the vids, i hate waiting but i love watchin.
I appreciate you waiting man! Another one will be up tomorrow 🤘
havent watched yet but i gotta say i love the vids man . always a good watch
I appreciate that feedback man; thank you for watching!
I'm always learning alot from your videos thank you 👌🤙👍
im so glad see someone else have hard time getting plastic off n im a 54 yr old grandma so sorry u hard time but im happy watch u do it lolpolololo.
I found out that originally carb measurements were measured by slide width but after the Chinese carbs flooded the market they stupidly started measuring from the airbox side. It makes sense because enlarging the slide would surly mean more air. I think adding a few mm on the intake side wouldn’t do much as the slide is still what’s restricting air flow would only make a different at full throttle if you think about it 😂 any way damn pot metal shite
Hey Michael, OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturers, love the builds. Keep it up man!
Thank you brother!
I would swap for a pumper carb instead of a cv carb wayyyyy before I considered yanking that airbox/snorkel off. Those things are always ripped off and people put pod filters in not realizing how much a pod filter lets so many particles through
You really inspire me, thanks for the videos!
I love these videos
Thank you for the love Kyle!
@@MichaelSabo do I love these videos the blaster is so nice I have a blaster I am building rn
gosh mike love the videos thanks for making my day every time u upload
Thanks for making my day with comments like this man!
I’ll think my yamaha raptor 90 is the best one I’ve ever owned 😊 it has lights installed on it too I love it 🥰
Hey Mike, I just got a Yamaha Warrior 350 it needs a new carb and throttle cable. Your videos always make my day. It’s a 2001.
Congrats on your new Warrior and thank you for the love on my videos man!
The trailblazer with a pipe is surprisingly fast.
If your front brakes keep hanging up. Clean the return hole on the reservoir. Use a metal wire from a wire brush to clean out the return hole. I had that issue on street bike. I cleaned that out and never had a problem again.
Nice 👍
🤘
my trick on pressurizing brakes. I put a syringe on the bleeder on the caliper and i push hard on syringe plunger pushing fluid into the system with the master cap on of course.
I am a big fan of Longetevity! Love your style Mike! please keep it up!
First comment haven’t seen the video but I know it’s a good one keep up the good work 💯💯
Thank you for the love!
I was just doing donuts with my lakota during a sleet storm so fun
and sick graphics kit
I feel like the Lakota should have gotten itp mud lights. Love all your videos
Love your channel man. You do quality shit and it shines. I’ve learned some stuff from you too so thanks for that
First one🎉
🤘
I feel like if Kawi brought this atv back {like they did with the KLX 300 models} with the racks easy to take off it would sell really good, being really cheap and sporty. A lot of guys really prefer these smaller lighter atvs that fit in back of trucks for ice fishing, hunting and its still sporty enough to trail ride. I recently bought a Brute Force 300 for that reason and it reminded me of my old Lakota and Bayou, but that motor has a lot more grunt and its mainly a Kymco.
Nice work!!!! Simple green is a great degreaser won't harm aluminum. Do not cheap out for another brand.used it for years on my greasy Harleys! Also s100 is a great degreaser but expensive. Peace!
My bet is still on the blast from the past! Great Video Brother 🤙
Hey Mike, for the ultrasonic cleaning try zepps orange industrial kitchen degreaser. I've never put some in a ultrasonic but I use it with hot water to wash parts and it does an extremely good job
Thank you for the tip man; I'll try it out
Lakota would be my last pick in top quad this year.
Blasters are tuff. Check out time machines on you tube. They are surprisingly fast for what it is
I'd say blazer, blaster, 300, lakota
Another vote for the Blazer in first... I really need to get some seat time on the Polaris - it's now the only one of the bunch I have almost zero time on.
Sometimes there is a pin hole in the bottom of the brake reservoir that needs to be cleaned. There might be a plastic cover over it. Clean that out and it will self bleed by rapidly tapping the front brake lever. Ran into this problem myself.
Thank you for the tip man!
I'm leaning towards the Blaster on this one.
I'm guessing who will be riding which Machines in Top Quad. Mike on the Blaster, Pete Hager on the Lakota, Jesse Brewer on the 300EX, and Rapotor Man on the Polaris TrailBlazer. Or the Brewer Brothers have the Homda & Polaris.
It will be a random draw out of the hat before each event so we will be getting different machines throughout the series
I think the 300ex will be the fastest. I know stock for stock, it was faster than my Mojave and my buddy's Blaster. Not as nimble as those two on trails, but felt much more like a sport quad to me.
if all thing were equal maybe but remember the Blaster will be lighter, completely rebuilt and probably ported and everything else he does to his builds… My $ is on the Blaster.
Actually whatever quad Pete is riding lol
Cool video man! I feel you on the front brakes. I just went through the same thing on a new to me dirt bike. I bought a rebuild kit for the master cylinder and it didn't make any difference. Spent two days on that pos and never got any brake pressure. Finally gave up and ordered a new el cheapo amazon master cylinder and they work fine now lol
Grab bar flip lowered center of gravity by 0.12%. Moving rear master cylinder forward 1.5" and down 3/8" moved center mass inward and lowered center of gravity by 0.008% dry, 0.011 full....
Great vid once again, I always look forward to your next upload. As for picking a winner wow thats tough. I actually love all four of these machines. My heart wants it to be the blaster or the trailblazer
Man i never really cared for these Lakotas but now i want one haha
I wish dry ice blasters weren't so expensive because they would be perfect for cleaning and detailing off road vehicles
Hey mike these lakotas have the same top end as the 300 bayou you should get a Mojave 250 and a 1987 Honda trx250x and put those in your quad wars shootout and do t forget the Yamaha yfm350 warrior
Take the reservoir off the bar hold it with the cylinder facing up and pull the Piston out. Let it sit for about 10 minutes all the air will come to the top. Put the Piston back in the reservoir you should be okay.
Also make sure there's no rust on the caliper Pistons 🙏
I have two mojaves( the sport version of Lakota) one with a kz1000 and one with a kx250, the one had a original engine that Curtis Sparks did for me but it spent more time broken than running. I think it was a 318. Final straw was the Kickstarter gear stripped out, thing was a bear to kick and the electric goki starter wouldn't turn it over if it was on the compression stroke(13:1)
Nice you got a DG I have the same on my 1997 Honda trx300ex
Not sure if you got the brakes fixed or not, but if not check the rubber flex lines. The insides can sometimes swell up and cause problems like what you're describing. Even if the outside looks perfectly fine. Happens a lot on classic cars.
You can use diesel fuel, harbor freight sells gallon size jugs of wd40 you can use in the ultrasonic also and it lasts probably long enough to clean 100 carbs or more. Dish soap and hot water doesn’t work bad but the absolute best thing to break down grease and oil is MORE GREASE AND OIL lol anything petroleum based works amazing but you should try the diesel or wd40, I actually use it in my parts washer. It costed me $250 to fill my parts washer but it’s lasted years and works amazing
Good point that it will last years - makes the overall cost worth it IMO
@@MichaelSabo for sure, I know some guys who use gasoline in there parts washer….. I couldn’t imagine risking my whole shop burning down over that lol I’ll stick with diesel or wd40. Glad you made the comment about using degreaser. I’ve gotten so many bikes in to work on that had the engine cases and wheels just completely ruined because people use purple power or other degreasers without reading the label that clearly says do not use on soft metals and aluminum. It turns a nasty color and leave’s corrosion spots all over, I still use it but I make sure I scrub it down thoroughly and spray with wd or use polish on it after. Sorry for the long comment but dude I just want to say again that I’m so unbelievably happy for you and your channel finally getting the traffic it deserves. You’ve made some awesome changes, upped the quality and learned a lot over the last year or two, I cannot wait to see you hit a million before 2023 is over
Yeah those hydrosonic machines are bomb!!! I used the simple green extreme aircraft cleaner. Works the best and isn’t caustic to the aluminum. And I’ve tried them all 😂Great content as always
I'm going to have to try this; I would have thought SG would be caustic
A lot of there products are. I learned that the hard way when the carb came out almost black. But that specific product doesnt flash the aluminum. Try it out and let me know what you think. Also a squirt of dawn with the SG works wonders.
The Blaster will shred the competition.
It would be so friggin cool to see a warrior build done on this channel
Anything can beat anything, if modded.. 2-strokes are more affordable to mod. I'd mod the blaster full port n polish, 34mm intake and carb. 10.6:1 compression piston and gear up a tooth taller up front, then put 22 inch tires out Back and 23x7 up front. With that set up the little blaster will go from 55mph to almost 70mph. On my daughter's Yamaha blaster I also worked transfer ports and head, kept oil injection just installed on new carb. Also changed rear sprocket went down a little for more top end. It still takes my brother's Polaris scrambler 400 2-stroke 4x4 in a drag race. Dennis Rantanen at DR Motors helped me with the build, from thief river falls mn. He is a absolute wizard with 2-stroke machines, his cousin Dave has a machine shop he use to work for black magic making custom 2-stroke snowmobile mods. Down the street is northern crankshaft in thief river falls. They still have a old cases on hand for zrt I believe that they built for the triple snowmobile engine so total displacement is 1850cc on the thundercat 2-stroke motor. If you can dream it the people up there can build it. Even custom case's and crankshafts,, so if you have a sleeper snowmobile with 2-1000cc 2-stroke motors put together with one crankshaft. Call them they are found on line and in the phone book.
Plus on my daughter's Yamaha blaster I built it to run on the limits of 91 octane pump gas. Top speed with her is 72mph
Blaster all the way, by the way when the brake bleeding is stubborn try using a syringe or a pump and reverse force the brake fluid up to the res...
I'm excited for next top quad. next one though u should mix the drivers like 1 good driver with one bad driver. so the teams are more even. but I also like every1 vs every1
For this one it will be individual scores unless something changes - there may be team events where we pick a partner though
Reverse bleed the brakes found the process online so much easier
Shout out from the catskill mountains buddy!
🤘🤘!
Original Qquipment Manufacturer, also could you please make kilogram conversions? Love From Norway btw
My buddy had the 250 Mojave. Pretty nimble bike. I had a Warrior at that time that and we always drag raced against each other. Can't beat the longer legs on a Warrior..
I'm rooting for the Blaster to Win. I'm guessing Mike will be on the Blaster, and Pete Hager will be on the Lakota, and you know how good Pete can Ride. Cannot Wait.
You should do a build series on a yfz450
I really need to
Formula 88 u can buy gal jugs from lowes works great for dirt and grease I use it on my quad
Your neighbors must love you....the night-time runs.
Let’s go ! 💪🏼
🤘
I love the way the front hood came out!
Awesome Video lil Bro! I am actually looking at getting a Lakota to flip right now. Watching this build is helping me understand a little about it As I have never been around a Lakota. The brake problem you have seems to me as a break down in the seals in the master cylinder but I am only taking a stab in the dark here, Please keep us updated! As usual, Bangin' AF ! I think you got the Top Quad with this one!
The seals appeared to be in good shape (typically I don't re-use them, but I didn't have new ones on hand) Hopefully they build pressure but if not, I will order new seals. The task is now in the hands of @breweroffroad lol
@@MichaelSabo
Man it was killing me watching you working on this and not washing it clean lol great vid as always
6:00 that extra weight clearly shows quality
