Who else has had good luck with Chinese Top End kits? What about bad? Thank you for watching 🤘😎
Do you live in PA?
If so where do you ride?
i got one and it ran better than ever just luck of the draw lol
You look like dad riding his sons Quad lol in the first views 😂
Got a really cheap clutch kit for my warrior and it worked awesomely, it was also my first time opening an engine
Ive run a couple chinese topends before. They did not last long but ran great right up to failure. I dont recall the brands
Blasters are so underrated. People often miss the point of their ability to just go out and have fun on the cheap and that's what makes them great. Awesome job on building this little machine.
I love blasters because It was my first machine but it’s better suited for a 15yr old haha
I know 😄
@@aaronhdz4872 almost anyone can go have fun on a Blaster. I had one back in 1995 and I rode it more than my yz490 or Cr250. I wouldn't mind having one now I'd probably ride the crap out of it.
Thank you Hank; Definitely an underrated machine.
I'm 34 been riding and racing throughout my life...blasters are extremely fun 🤘
Mail from a German engineer

Dear Michael,
I am from Germany and I am a mechanical engineer as well as a master vehicle technology engineer. I love your channel!!! Actually I am not a CZcams person at all :) but I look forward to every new broadcast from you. I always find your positive nature, your determination as well as your excellent expertise motivating and fascinating. I have rarely seen such professional work from a garage! Some of your videos I have watched umpteen times :) Here's an idea: I work a lot myself on quads, motorcycles and the like, preferably on two-stroke engines. Now I have started a new project some time ago: a YAMAHA RAIDER jet ski. Super exciting technology. Very similar to quads but so different and also a two-stroke engine. Maybe this would be a future project. Many greetings from Düsseldorf, Germany :)
Hallo!
What an awesome compliment to receive. Thank you for taking the time to write this and for the idea on a jet ski! This made my day. Greetings from the USA!
Hi Germán Engineer. I'm an American Mechanic. Fuck your European bullshit. Your engineering is retarded.
Moin 🙂
also wenn DU eine Blaster bauen würdest, dann wäre ich Kaufinteressent Nr1 😉
Dude can ride!!! 😆I lived on a Blaster for my entire middle school years mid 90's! It was my daily! Loved that machine!!
Thank you bro! You gotta love Blasters!
Oh 😮 Is a good commuter for countryside?
You have inspired me to purchase and build a 250r and blaster. It’s expensive but the fun and experience of the builds outweigh the cost. Your videos have been instrumental in my progress. Thank you!
Love watching you build and ride these machines. You've inspired me to try it myself. Don't stop doing what you do, man.
New subscriber, I just wanted to take a moment to say how thoroughly you break down the prices and applaud it. My first project was a 88 kx125 for the learning experience. Trail tech are awesome spedos and tachs. I used to use them with midbike racing. Everyone knows when you get as thorough as a rebuild as you that you will never seen your money back. It's all about the smiles per thumb rip. Solid video keep up the good work sir!
There you go Sabo, making all of us who love this look good! Yet another great build and video. That little quad looks awesome and shows out. One tooth down on the front sprocket, for "safety", you were going awfully fast and it wasn't even rung out...😉🤘
Been loving this series dude. I had an 89 blaster as a kid that I rode the wheels off of 👏 that sound alone fills me with so much nostalgia
I've got an 89 Blaster - bought it in 92 and have had it for 31 years now, just rode it today, runs great!
This was a blast to watch. Your quality keeps getting better and better each video and you've made some pretty spectacular machines. Thanks for another great video bro.
Can't believe how much work you put on those builds man, with all the filming and parts and cost sheets etc that's crazy !! Thumbs up honeslty !! Can't wait to see top quads !!
Thank you for saying that Gino, means a lot!
Been watching your vids for a couple years now and gotta say your a huge influence on the quad community. And you’ve inspired me to build my Ltr 450. Much appreciation for everything you do man
Awesome compliment John; thanks for following for so long and it's awesome to hear I inspired you to build an LTR 🤘
What a dope little machine dude. This is for sure my pick for top quad 👌👌
I second that call me a two smoke fiend and a blaster fiend though I have 4 so might be biased 🫣 and the Mrs rides one lol
lol, you sound a little biased NGL 😂
@@MichaelSabo I will neither confirm nor deny lmao
@@MichaelSabo Not much good cheap atv fun in UK I can pickup blaster for 700-1000 dollars yet an ex is double that and some versions we don't even get not much atv culture here more bikes 🫡 keep up the great content wish you all the best 👏
You're right about being tough estimating the labor but I know from watching your work that the best shop with the best mechanics are not going to be anywhere as meticulous as you are with prepping and assembling. Shops are all about the clock. Excellent work!
That's very true; not saying anything bad about a shop mechanic, but you're correct, they're paid to get it done quickly and move on to the next, not necessarily to be meticulous.
that blaster looks mint!!! been following the build and i must say, its spectacular
Mike ur vids just keep getting better n better. keep it up. by far my Fav offroad channel and really overall.
You did an awesome job with this Blaster series. You rode it hard and it rips. Thanks!
I always love watching these little things rip. Great job. I'm doing some of my own work on my bike, and it really puts into perspective the amount of work you put into these machines.
Thank you for the love Wes and good luck on your own project!
@Michael Sabo thanks! Im dreading having to rejet the carb, but it's soooo going to be worth it
New Mike Sabo video is always a good day!
That little motor sounds so crisp. Awesome build brother
Love the skits man keep up the good work!!
Praying for that wristpin🤙 quad looks fantastic
Good looking lil bike, your builds are always on point. I’ve had a few of these bikes in the past . One that’s fully built is still very entertaining for an adult.
All your videos are great! I clicked thumbs up before I even watch them lol
Another great build and great video brother! Your videos are top notch, keep them coming!
Thank you Rich!
Great video. Keep up the good work M.
Thank you Josh!
Thats gotta be the nicest blaster i've seen so far, well done!!
Great vid brother 🎉
I’m definitely building one of these and thanks to this series I know I can.
Awesome video. You really do go above and beyond. I enjoy watching all of your work.
Thank you for watching my videos Nic!
That website build lists is a work of art 🔥😮💨. I appreciate you taking the time to list all parts and tools. Definitely the little things that set you apart from everyone else that keeps me rooting for you. Cant wait for Top Quad!
Thank you for the feedback on that and for the love Josh!
Gonna stay by the truck 🤞👊👍😉 great job on this one congrats on the views of this build. You deserve it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💯
Rad little quad, Mike! Nice work!!!
absolutely love your vids
Thank you man!
I’m just as much impressed with the website as I am with the builds🔥
I enjoyed the series a lot thanks mike
Thank you for watching it man!
Nothing better than a Michael sabo video to finish the weekend
I love your videos man. I have an 04 blaster and it means the world to see someone like you building and riding one. Keep up the good work praise from the UK 🤙
Also what go pro mount are you running I’m trying to find a good one.
I aways loved the blasters when I was kid thoes would fly for what they are. Awesome video man keep up great work
I don’t think I’ve ever been this early to a video! This makes me want a banshee or blaster to rip, that 2 stroke sound is too good!
Great videos mike I love love when you do the sabo spreadsheet I always look forward to them when you get done with the project. It’s such a clean blaster. Probably the nicest blaster in the United States..
Wow, huge compliment man! Thank you as always 🤘
Awesome build as always bro
Thank you Andrew! 🤘
Great vid Mike!
Thank you Ethan!
Nice work man. That price breakdown was eye opening!
Thank you Ryan!
What else can be said man but wow another beautiful build. You really have a great eye for how the end product turns out. Quite impressive. It sounds amazing too. Looking forward to top quad. 💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you as always for the love and support man!
You're such a beast. Most hardworking youtuber i've seen. Love the channel!
Wow man, thank you for the love!!
This build makes me want another blaster.. definitely not a good idea they only last me 2 hours but I’m on the hunt now😂
Love your videos very helpful
Thanks for the love Jeff!
What an awesome build you did, it looks and sounds unreal. Love the full commitment through the whoops, you’re a wild man. I myself might have pulled the chicken stick but you held her tapped😂 Awesome!
I have a blaster had it torn apart in pieces for over a year and your videos inspired me to get my quad done built just did my first real ride on mine yesterday
Dude this is an awesome compliment to me; glad to inspire you and congrats on your Blaster build!
Currently starting a 1999 kx80 project, and your videos make me wanna go all in, but it's just an 80 and the more I spend on it (powder coat and all) the less I'll make for the next flip
Man that thing rips pretty damn good. Going to be building my 1996 styled blaster here soon. Can't wait for the future videos.
We are a family of having the most personal quads owned between my wife, 3 daughters, and myself. First, the posse of blasters in the mix is what makes up most of our collection mind blowing!! The next step and one that I would recommend to ANYONE with a blaster is to get a PWK 39mm carb and convert it to ALKY!! It’s the CHEAPEST 15-20% increase in power across the chart and alcohol is way cheaper than race gas!! U will be amazed and it feels like riding a stk banshee and almost 1/2 the weight!! Good LUCK and ENJOY ALL!
NOTE: If my 3 daughters (12yrs,18yrs old, 21yrs,) can tame a 240 BB on ALKY and from a lot of seat time, the two oldest are on no bar, full LSR chassis, 300ft sand draggers!
Another awesome build! Love watching your meticulous attention to detail and cleanliness! I can't stand watching other builders just take parts off and put the same dirty ass stuff back together! ... and I know it's not you but I really hate leaving comments anymore because I know someone is now going to spam me with "You Win" or "Telegram Me" or blah blah but I figure you deserve the comment to help you channel out and I'll deal with the spammers ... That thing rips, by the way and sounds awesome!
Thank you for the love man; the comments do always help. I have a subscriber that goes through the comments and deletes the bots as much as possible but I do understand, they're super annoying.
I sais this after work lastnight now this before work with my coffee 👌💯 my mannnnn
Owned a blaster in the late 90s and raced multiple stock and modified banshee.
I always stayed with them or even pulled in a short run!
Long distance the banshee would pull away.
All in all the blaster is a quick little quad!
You’re legit man. We need to get you to 1 million subs
Thank you Ray; one day 🤘
The builds are amazing but watching you rip the same trails I grew I up on in Jackson is by far my favorite part! Tons of memories there!
Thank you for the love man! These are my favorite trails to ride in our area!
Dude what state?
I've learned a lot from your videos. You inspired me to work on my LT250r. I hope you build an LT250r next 👍. Thanks!
great video man not a big fan of the blaster but I can't deny it looks sweet! 🤙
That blaster freaking rips Mike! I'd love to swing a leg over something like that! Awesome Build man, keep up the good work!
I have to agree with your assessment at the end regarding how long it takes to do certain things. I took Auto Body class in my last years of high school in the late 90's early 2000's. I can say that even though I never got to work in a body shop professionally like I hoped for that the average customer wanting their car paint freshened up or redone completely have absolutely no clue what goes in to doing paint CORRECTLY. Especially if they're wanting paint that glistens like a show car and expecting to get it for nothing.
My Auto instructor was awesome. He was old school and believed the books the state tried making us learn from were useless. For him it was hands-on or nothing. Because there's only so much you can read in a book and get the idea of what to do. In order to get good you had to actually do it. Before we even got to touch a spray gun we had to learn panel prep which involved sanding, pounding out small dents, using body filler scarcely and using your eyes to examine things closely. He gave us old fenders and hoods to practice on.
It would take us hours just sanding the panels to bare metal, pounding out dents, doing body filler if needed and sanding it uniform before we could even think about spraying on a primer coat. For me the way the instructor taught was great because I'm not fast and will never make myself fast for anyone. I want the job done properly the first time. But it also has its' drawbacks as there's a lot of things I want to do that I never get around to doing. Because for me if I can't do the job correctly I would rather not do it at all than do it half assed. Sadly in order to do things correctly it requires a lot of money and a place to do it which I have neither of. :P
But I've been slowly gathering tools here and there as I'd really like to get back into painting. A good enough air compressor that can run a spray gun is the most expensive thing to get IMO. Plus it needs a safe place to go as well and I don't have a garage. A cheap enclosed car port should work for starters. :)
Prices on the used market these days are ruining the industry. People want a mint for junk. But I always enjoy your builds and videos. Always super informative and you really do great work. Learned quite a bit from your videos. Keep it up man.
Thank you for the love on my videos man! It's true, the market has made things like book value practically useless. X amount for a machine could be a good deal or a bad deal because the condition of the machines is all over the place as well.
Can't wait to see what u do with the yamaha trike....if it's anything like this blaster turned out its gonna be sick
Man I thought you were goin over the bars at 12:30. Sick build bud.
Wow that sounds so crisp!!! 🔥 🤙
Man that power core silencer sounds so good! ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful ride man, that pipe makes all the difference. Sounds crisp
Amazing Sound! Love 2 strokes ❤️🔥
🤘🤘
Sweet job on the execution of this one bro. I love my blaster I actually favor it over my Ltr for trail weekends and for the simple fact i can pick it up from a dead stop and keep the front up all the way to 6th gear. Such a fun machine.
Thank you man; these are no doubt fun machines
Your web site is just as impressive as your bike builds. At 6 foot tall I don't fit well on a blaster and 215 pounds isn't very optimal. The blaster is just so much fun that I'll take one for a spin any time I can.
Thank you Dax! You could have fun on it but not for long rides I'm sure. One of the guys in my Top Quad series is 6'5", it's going to be funny to see him on it lol.
Got a brand new 96 Blaster for Christmas of 95 and that is hands down one of my all time favorite quads. Simple Cheap and fast enough to hurt you lol Great Build Keep it up👌💪
Hell yea man, thank you!
Sounds great. Used to hate these things but would love to have a decent one now.
Pretty sweet quad dude nice job on that
Great work on the build man I would’ve went with Vito’s parts but I know it was kinda a budget build👍
I bought a 2000 Blaster when my son decided to race 50s and 65s so I could ride with him. Even being over 200lbs I raced this quad and had a great at time doing it!.With the 250 kit and suspension upgrades I can't wait to see what you can do with it
That's awesome to hear Don! Mods coming soon!
Sounds awesome!
Thanks Willy!
I luv the blasters I have mine on my channel I built it similar to urs with the same jetting I’m only 135 pounds so I move on mine you seem like ur having a Blast on urs great build Mike 👍🏽
I miss the old 90s blaster days back when I was 14,15...and even if you're an adult under 200 and put an extended swingarm, wheel spacers, and pipe/silencer combo you can have fun all day long and keep up with practically anything in the woods.
I agree; suspension is a must for keeping up though - learned this yesterday on a rocky trail ride; thing beats you up big time!
I really love the breakdown list of the parts on the builds. You have to build a 1988-1992 Suzuki lt250r. Some of us guys needs parts that can't be sourced anymore. I really believe if you would build one some of these guys may start making parts again. Please do a quadracer build. You have already built a quadzilla, a honda 250r, and a banshee. Wish you would finish out the 2 stroke quads. I'm sure people would love to see a tecate built and I know I want to see you build a quadracer. Thanks for the videos man.
Video just makes me want to go riding. lol good job bro
Glad I could transfer the fun dude! One of these days we'll be able to get out and ride together man!
@MichaelSabo I'm definitely game lol I'll be happy just to ride one's it warms up a bit
excellent video mike and awesome blaster makeover
this takes me back when i had my warrior, my buddy luke had a blaster, he swore he could be that warrior lol nope.
this build is no diffrent than a custom bike its going to cost money love it man keep it up
Blasters are one of the best bangs for your buck for plain old fun! Early 2000s they sold new for about 3k
I remember when they were still on showroom floors; I think they were like $3399 or something.
I love Blasters. I'm going to check out a place up north Michigan to check some frames. Can't wait to build some rippers that people will love to ride.
I'm doing a complete rebuild on my 06 blaster for my 5 year old son def not gna be done in the time u did but a few months hopefully, just gna be on a budget for the build. The Chinese to end won't bother me cause kids aren't gna be rippin to hard at 5yr old, I will a lil bit but gna be for him. Let us no the money u had to put into it to get to this point. U did an amazing job, love the blasters, just a fun lil quad
Mike, she sounded good, my friend, I have a blaster myself, and they rip also they are a blast to ride. As far as the total cost, if you exclude your labor, you basically have a brand new quad for 6 grand or so. I dont know what they cost brand new nowadays, but that doesn't sound too bad to me because you have performance parts, plus it has a unique design, which is sweet. So all in all I think you're doing alright. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait for the competition and to see what's in store for the next project.
Thank you man! The new TRX250X from Honda is probably the closest thing available anymore - they're $5300 MSRP. Probably close to 6k after taxes and fees. This Blaster is definitely a faster unit though, I can guarantee!
@Michael Sabo your welcome brother keep up the awesome work. 👌
Awesome video! Awesome Blaster!
Thank you dude! Your Blaster is pretty awesome too 🤘
@@MichaelSabo Thanks!
Blaster looks so fun 🤩
💯
Micheal, I built a 04 Blaster all stock but.... VForce 4 reeds and total night and day difference. So damn snappy and the power is a world of difference even with my stock pipe. I watched and listened to the quad you rode and yup, have to get the VForce 4. It will totally wake that thing up like a mini banshee. Trust me on this. I did all the deltes like you did too btw.
Really cool to hear this feedback! I wanted to do VForce so badly this first time around. I plan to upgrade the reeds with the 240 kit!
Blasters are awesome. There small cc’s but high fun factor. They sound good too!!
I’m not a huge fan of the Yamaha Blaster,…..but that one is pretty sic bro! Nice job!!
Very impressive build for modified stock. Should be a great Top Quad battle.
To answer the question at the end of the video about the cost of labor, I would say around 14-15 thousand to replicate what you did. I worked at a Honda powerhouse and when jobs like this came up they charged a very pretty penny. But sometimes you take a loss because we can’t factor in somethings that get in the away such as a stripped bolt or a bearing that’s stuck, love the video I’ll be back for more
Thank you for the feedback. The stripped bolts and stuff are definitely sneaky!
Time to turn that plain crispy chicken sammich into a deluxe with that Vitos kit man
Sounds nice up in the band 👌🏽
I’m loving this build I have a 04 blaster and can’t say enough about how fun it is to rip. Mine does make the same knocking slapping noise wasn’t sure if it was the rod bearing going bad or is that a normal sound you can hear it at 6:45 in this video.
Anyway your videos are top notch!!!🔥🔥🤘🤘
Sound is at 6:43 it always makes me cringe when I hear it. Any info on it would be great
That specific spot of the video, the zinging sound I'm assuming you're referring to after I come off of full throttle? When coming off of a high RPM run, and coming almost completely off the gas but not pulling in the clutch, you are back loading the engine as its still spinning at high RPMs from the wheels pushing it over but it is only receiving a small amount of fuel causing a lean spot which causes those zing sounds on the come down; it is not detonation.
And yet another banger, your ass dyno skit is hilarious. I cant wait to build a blaster someday myself! SABO = GOAT
Sick build man
Thank you dude!
When mike came out the corner of the screen I lost it🤣🤣🤣
