You and Pete Hager been keeping me well entertained while I've been battling cancer in the hospital and having surgery thank you
Hey, how is everything? Did the surgery go well?
Hows it going, are you okay??
@@GroovyBabyYeah he updated his playlists a few days ago so i assume hes not ded thankfully
hows the recovery going ? i hope things are good for you
This video was awesome Mike! Watching you wrench and bring machines back to life is so entertaining! Great job 👏👏🤘
Thank you bro!
Mike is quite awesome @this..I dont possess these skills. Lol. On a scale of abilities I'm a 5.5 to Mike's 10! So, I buy new machines. 😀
I have a tip take smaller bits with your spoon it will be easier to get the tire off and I would use dish soap to put them back on
I was 14 and owned one of the first Banshee in 1987. The Banshee was not only my first quad but my first 2 stroke machine. When they delivered the Banshee to my house, the guy asked if I wanted him to adjust the throttle. I remember this like it was yesterday! So beside my house was a blacktop road. As soon as I hit the throttle I understood why the guy wanted to adjust the throttle... Needless to say I'm still alive today lol. The Banshee was the fastest production quad back then until the 500 Quad Racer came out. They were fairly rare to see though so my only real comp was that damn ATC 250R 3 wheeler. Mike - not sure if you've rebuilt one of those yet but that might be a lot of fun to build. Don't ride it though!! Great Video's sir!

What jetting did you use for the predator 560? I have an 04 predator with a 586 or 560 big bore I don’t know which. There’s not much that’s stock in the motor.
Beautiful quadzilla!
I recently got some work done to my quad now I'm into the jetting but not really sure where to start TBH if could get some advice It would be truly appreciated
I can’t wait to see you get it in the powerband. Even a stock Zilla is pretty awesome to rip
I don't even own a Quadzilla or bike anymore, and I wanna get that Carburetor just because it's such a deal. Seriously though, nice job on the Zilla Mike, and thanks for showcasing the building process. It's a great way to get people into the hobby, and gives em the confidence to buy and work on their stuff. All the QuadZilla is missing is a full Laeger's treatment, Fox/Ekla/Axis up front and rear, and a signature "'Dr. Q'' Pipe!
Thank you Josef; I think the treatment you mentioned is definitely in order down the road!
Love that you show yourself doing the work on your machines. You do some great work man. Much respect
I know this one isn't your machine, but you know what I mean
I appreciate that man, thank you
Great job 🤘🏻
Awesome rebuild! I was in love with these as a 14 year old kid in '87. I would sit and watch them race on TV anytime they were on. What an animal.. The Quadzilla!!
I’m 33 . My dad owned one when I was a baby. Wish we had pictures but we had one that was my dad and I coming over the top of a chat pile in Pithcer Oklahoma when I was 2-3. We was doing a wheelie over the top and I was smiling ear to ear. Plus we used to load up on it my dad mom and I and go ridding the back roads from our house to go swim miles away from home. Hell I even had the electric Suzuki 500 to match for me as a kid. Loved these quads. Brings back great memories.
Set a timer because I was pumped all day to watch!! Awesome video! Can’t wait to see what you guys do with it from here!
Ha, you warned us about this in one of your videos. 23:15
Your videos are great as well.
JSR Racing we love your builds as well.. Love your Channel..
What's up
You're the man, thank you brother 👊
Surprised you left the twist throttle on there. Glad to see it going. Can’t wait to see it in some quad wars. 👍🏻
Just doesn’t seem right without the blue seat. Badass quad either way!
Haha I was thinking the same and about the CF hood too, that blue seat and hood are hallmarks of the Zilla, but I also agree with the assessment of the badassery tho
@@daltong6898 right effin on brother!
yeah blacks looks to much like a ltz400...
Agreed!

I want to make note that while I showcase the knock off PWK carb in this video, I don't necessarily recommend it. While they look and feel great, small tolerances and internal orphancies can make a carburetor run weird or even just differently than genuine. I've personally run these with success and then also with bad results so it's a risk and with a 2 stroke, it may not be worth it if you're not decent at jetting. On the other hand, you may see me using unbranded FCR style carburetors on my 4 stroke builds; these have had consistent good results in my cases and I do recommend them. This could be a result of the FCR style carbs being in the 150$ range whereas the PWK was only 30$. My official recommendation is to always go genuine if possible.
Super sick quad! Loved seeing you work on it and ride around, I’ve never even really got the chance to see one in person so seeing your reaction was definitely awesome keep up the great videos!
Mike Philly Sabo rocks! I'm a Yamaha & Suzuki quad guy so this has me excited to the core. Suzuki ask kills it when they build machines. Yamaha!? Well they the king of sport quad I believe sales wise (total #s sold etc).
I loved this whole build. The music is sick!!!
Love that you and John work together on things crazy kool quad
wow it came out phreaking awesome as always , you do the bet ATV videos on UA-cam or anywhere I've seen. My Quadzilla broke my shin when it kicked back once and i was stuck in the desert with my buddies all weekend .Couldn't even get my boot off all weekend . I been a fan for awhile and you have got me searching for another project. Keep up the awesome video bro.
The only tears I shed was when the video ended 😢
Turned out pretty nice,and it's Def a Lil rich on the jetting Michael,but that's OK on the fresh engine until a bit of time has been put on her.I worked for one of the larger Suzuki dealers in southern Illinois back in the eighties up until early 90's as the lead technician and eventually service manager.We sold a heap of 250 and 500 quads and the first batch of quadzillas had a few issues as I remember.The crankshaft to rotor taper was wrong and they would shear off the flywheel keys resulting in the rotor inertia welding itself to the crankshaft,lol.pretty sure our Suzuki service rep told us that I mighta been the first person in the U.S. to do a crankshaft and rotor replacement on the venerable LT-500R.Keep up the awesome builds,I enjoy watching these old 2 stroke quad builds as it brings back some good memories working on all of those older bikes and quads.
The jetting is spot on. With the desert heat and the sand resistance. Gonna need it little rich.
I miss ripping around on a 2-stroke and hearing those sounds and smelling those scents!
Just hearing this Zilla, brings back a lot of memories. 👍🏻👍🏻
I cried when you put that black seat cover on!
The old one had holes in it; I did not choose the colors though
Awesome work man 👍 the plastic part is hilarious 😂😂😂 i adore installing new plastics (i still adore my new Maier plastics) and I can really relate! 😂😂😂😂👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Another great quad out on the streets! Keep building Mike!
I had a lil 250 r that nothing could touch when I was young. Boy the memories this brought back
I love these classic quad builds
Awsome rebuild on the zilla Mike, you do a hell of a job, dont matter if you re-use parts or go all out on a full rebuild, you do a sick job. Very clean! Love your atention to detail, always do a very good job. 👌👌👌👌👌👌🔥🔥
Thank you for the love Ben 👊
I’d tune it and put that beast in a museum. It’s a piece of quad history for sure. Thanks for sharing it
Living in the desert and struggling to get my grass growing, I was terrified watching you rip around your yard like that🤣
Really fun quadzilla. You have lucky to find parts for that "old" bike. In Portugal it's impossible to that project. I own a Honda trx400 2001 and even for find parts I need to buy in Spain. So keep Tha good work. I really enjoy watching your project and learn 👍
Thank you Jorge; sorry to hear how hard it is to get parts over there but it's awesome that you still ride 👊
sorry to hear that bro. makes me sad 😔😔😔
Awesome! Thanks for bringing us great content on some rare quads!
The bead braker don't work all that well when the tires are 5 years old and stuck to the rim. I used my truck and 2x8 board.
you are rad man. i like your vidoes and your style! please keep these going for awhile
Hey Mike I'd be careful with that carb bought one just recently and melted my rings on my freshly built polaris 400. Had like a 198 in too. Just a heads up!!!
Oh gez, that sucks man! I will tell John and maybe he will get a genuine carb
Yea that does suck.they are a complete pain in the arse to take all the plastic pieces off to do anything.not much room for your fingers anywhere. i have a 96
I learnt from buying a cheap carb, to not buy a cheap carb ever again.
@@skysthelimit866 i had one and it ran fine, its always a gamble with knockoff parts.
Not too mechanically inclined but what could a carb like that cause? Like bad rings? What else?
WOW!!! Dude talking about transform u done an awesome job on this build..
Definitely show quad status 🦾🦾🦾🦾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Congrats on finishing this. Another great series
Awesome build!
Great video, I also use your brake clamping method with a vice grip for holding top dead center when I'm doing leak down tests.
Yeah it's pretty awesome the things you're doing it makes me want to rebuild my old Suzuki 230 quad
Harbor freight also has a manual small tire changer that has a bead breaker on it too. They seem to work well, I even know a few people that do full size tires with them just fine.
The small one does 8" to 16"
Mike I used to check semi truck tires when you go to break the bead before you use your machine after you let out the air take a gallon of water add about half a cup of dawn dish soap and spray water on the bead on the side your removing and break the bead. And when your using your spoons you can add the dawn dish soap water on the bead and that shit will come out like butter ! Trust me
Hey I offered to let you ride mine last year at little Sahara! Looks and sounds good! Great job!
Love the Bow Chicka Bow Wow soundtrack when the graphics go on. 🤣
lol 😂
Bro really like the videos just found u the other day an go though the videos I build stunt bikes for other homies so really dig what u got going on keep killing it!
Such a great job as always Mike 👍🏼
Keep killing it brother!!
Thank you Jon 👊
What a great build...i always wanted one...
They really are awesome quads; great for the dunes! Thank you for becoming a channel member man!
love the review at the end !! its the nostalgia !!
bike looks good all I would do to it is polish the front wheels and the pipe and silencer and also get DR front bumper
I don’t even own a quad anymore and this ad made me want to buy these!! Lol! Great video as always mike!! Keep em coming
I appreciate it Nick!
Worked with tires for a few years if you have one ever have trouble with one add a little air itll keep the side wall buldged so it doesn't roll over on itself
love that metal in the background! 🤘🤘
Dude you need the headlight on that!!lol
damn good job Michael! Keep up the great work
Damn big bore 2 strokes are cool, road bikes, quads and dirt bikes they are all awesome
my 01 blaster 200 2 stroke with aftermarket exhaust but not much else, would do 65 in 5th gear. this was tested with a truck driving behind me and clocked me at 65 on asphalt. with a lighter rider it could hit 6th gear and do about 75ish. now a 500 2 stroke should in theory blow it out of the water right off the line. my 200 would lift the front tires all the way through 4th gear and if i powershifted at a high rpm it would keep them off the ground until i hit 5th. it had tons of power and i regret selling it lol. i drove a 250r some years ago and it was all decked out and it was easily a 100+ mph bike. now these 500's stock did about 80 mph. they were, at the time of release, the fastest quads in production. not sure what your used to riding lol, but the 500 is plenty fast and ballsy, but in this video you were babying the hell out of it. once your boy opens it up youll see the true potential of the 500 2 smoker. that thing will pull you, in a wheelie, through all gears if your crazy enough to do it lol. also watch out for that chinese knock off carb regardless of how good and alike it looks. they use cheap metals and they are known for failure. im especially leary of the under $40 pricetag. if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. either way good luck and i hope yall enjoy that beast of a machine..
You always kill it mike it came out awesome that was cool of you to do for John it’s nice to have friends like that man really awesome looking forward to the next video man!!
Awesome build, well worth the wait as always. It looks like ShitTube deleted my original comment because I posted a link to a tire the Obors reminded me of. The Obor Advents' aggressiveness reminded me of the DURO Hook-Up. The Advents have more lugs and a square shoulder profile and the Hook-Up's have less knobs, but are chunkier with a more rounded shoulder profile. But they both have a similar aggressive feel to them. :)
Great job on the build buddy, I always look forward to watching you do these kind of videos to see the end results. Sell me those dwt ultimate billet wheels off that red 400ex…. quit fukn around! Lol
Killed it once again Sabo. You Truly are a master of your craft in what you do….
Beautiful Quad! You are incredible.
Thank you Victor! Merry Christmas!
Blue seat cover would look better I think, but... Very awesome machine.
Nice build!! I use those knock off carbs with no problems at all!! Jetting is different on them If you know how to jet you will have no problems and you do so you'll be fine. The zilla has power but not what you think. they are over hyped but still a classic and still fast but no banshee or 250r. Wish I could send some pics of the one I rebuilt it was a bad ass machine. Have fun with it.
Thank you Greg, it was definitely a little different jetting the carb; still not quite dialed
That was award winning cinema when you put the plastics on but get that twist throttle off that thing you trying to die?? 😂
Haha thank you Mike; that's up to John if he wants to convert it back to thumb
That things looks awesome hopefully john has some paddles lined out for the dunes! Can’t wait to get out there myself! See y’all then!
That’s a bad ass tire machine way better then the older style
I’m getting a new 2021 yf450z quad and I can’t wait to ride and now I’ll know how to fix or repair from your videos
The carbon fiber rad cover and black seat! boom!
Awesome vid and edits and filming and bikes
I have the same bead breaker, thing works great. Even does car tires. One tip is to fully weld all the peices of the breaker that bolt together. It makes it much more rigid and works a little easier.
Good job, I'm sure John will be impressed with it.
Mike, Where did you purchase the PWK knock off from? Did you install genuine Keihin brass during the jetting phase?
Like so many out there Ive heard mixed review's on the knock off versus the genuine Keihin carb. I've heard the only thing the knock off needs in genuine Keihin brass to make them compare with the genuine PWK. I am considering a purchase for a 89 CR250 project.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Jeff Davison.
Link for the carbs is in the description bro
Hell yeah brother bad ass!
This was a Pimp My Quad episode 😎
Michael , this was a frkeking Awesome video!!! I totally enjoyed watching you remove the axle , change that tire and put on the new levers 👍 Awsome to learn new stuff , and appreciate the camera work , Awesome 👍 I never got a chance to ride a QuadZilla either , so it was cool watching you ride around on it . Look forward to when you take it to the Dunes!!! Again , Great video 😊
Thank you for the feedback and kind words Greg!
@@MichaelSabo You're very welcome Michael 👍 Keep on doing you're great and informative videos and the Awesome riding content too 👍
They are amazing machines my brother had one when I was a little boy with the Suzuki racing pink and blue plastic on it it was awesome
Very nice! To bad u couldn't use 1992 ltr250 graphics. Probably one of my favorite looking quads other than a 88 Honda 250r. Great job Mike!
ur a beast micheal all the modifications to make everything work homie ur a beast dawg
I appreciate that Trey
Good job on the build bro looks dam good.
Thank you brotha 🤘
I NEEEEED that wrench! ✊
great work mate, great work
Beautiful build killed it with that black seat cover should have left it blue but hey to each their own
I have mixed feeling about it; I did put genuine jets and needle in it but I definitely agree that very small tolerance inconsistencies can make major difference in carb functionality. I will say that the quality of these seems to have improved over the years; some of the older knock offs were literally made for the trashcan 😂
Damn i never changed a tire in my life and probably never will after that lol ! Its worth giving 20$ for somebody to do it for me
You did a VERY good job 👍
Do a tecate 4 build next
That carb was cheap for a reason. I bought a 38mm pwk and thought it looked and felt the exact same too. Got about 5 hours into a brand new build and burnt the piston down. The carb was to blame it doesn't have actual parts. Legit jets won't help I went up 16 jet sizes in those 5 hours of ride time. The needle isn't legit either. Nothing is legit with it. Maybe you'll get lucky but just trying to warn you. Good looking zilla. 👌
I had an 88 Lt 500 and it was a total thrill to ride for it’s time. I enjoyed the video man thanks for the great content. Don’t screw up my teddy bear towel any more than you already did.
I've had my banshee killa for over a decade. These are beasts in there own right. Not for the fainthearted. But fun as hell.
Can't believe that the carb deal. It's looking good. Looking forward to seeing it sand blast some poor soul.
Mike, I'd let you work on any of my quads that's for sure. You da man, man lol
Thank you bro, I appreciate that
LT500R great machines..
The power value gives it pull and low RPM response like a 4 stroke ..
And the mid to top RPM pull is a adrenaline rush.. ..
Duncan racing dose an amazing port job that really wakes the top end up even more lol 😆 . Highly recommended Is Duncan racing International kit at minimum the porting ..
It’s the best video I seen this month
Quadzilla lookin cleannnn!!
I love this kinda building and testing
Great job !
12:02 lmao i have a big ass wrench as well i always thought those things where funny lookin😂
Dude it turned out amazing.love this.do a trike haha
I might get one of those carbs for my cr500r...just to see if it's better than the old stock one
Watch a Kaplan cycles video! He plays with cr500's... he's in Connecticut....from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
Dude your property is amazing......perfect for test track lol.....damn hoa
