I love everything 2 stroke, maybe because I'm 48 yrs old and I grew up riding them, my first bike was a 1983 CR-480 then I had 2 CR-500's a ATV Honda 250R a Suzuki ATV 250R and Quadzilla 500 a Kawasaki ATV 250R tecate ,many snowmobiles , a 400 Honda pilot, Polaris 400 scrambler and a custom quad I built 1988 honda 250r quad frame with a 1991 Honda CR-500 motor
It's the X3 Banshee ! I remember, with my banshee on dry asphalt sideways. Can-am should do an X3 2 strokes sxs and bring down the price too! It's not like they have no motor sitting in the shed😎
Holy cow am I impressed, I expected this thing to sound like a animal with those pipes but my goodness does it sound impressive. You should be super proud for coming up with this build Doug, it’s just mega 👌🏻
WOW I TOUGHT THIS THING WAS GOING TO BE A JOKE. BUT AS A 2 STROKE LOVER I CAN SAY THAT THING LOOKS LIKE SERIOUS FUN. THE SOUND PLUS THE WEIGHT, MAN HOW DO YOU BEAT THAT.
Same here. I thought this is never going to work and would be a dog because of the extra weight of the X3. Glad to say I was dead wrong. Looks like a blast to drive
First off LOVE THE BUILD. They should have made this engine platform a option to begin with. Have you guys thought about maybe adding some pulleys to the frame and relocating the pull cord in the cabin so it is accessible from the driver's seat? I mean sure, Machining a mount for an eletric starter would be really cool. But I kinda like nostalgia of the pull cord and it fits into the weight savings over all. Keep up the great work. Long live the 2 strokes.
Coming from a sled background but mostly Thundercats not machs this build gets me super excited. Sounds great boys, those pipes look and sound great. 🤟 keep up the great content it's inspiring haha
First off idk how more companies are not jumping on board to sponsor parts on this build. Awesome build! I would be interested to know the weight difference in a new aluminum top cage, tire wheel set up (maybe skinnier tires up front), and a different shock set up for functionality and weight.
Those cards are the only way to go if you own a 2stroke they cost a bit more than your average carb but you get what you pay for and the buzz you'll get off of your machine will be priceless 👊✊💨💨💨👍
idk If I am misremembering my youth or not... but this might be the best sounding triple 2-stroke I have ever heard & this isnt even her peak form yet I am so excited to see how she rips after the clutch adjustment (especially on the track)
I have to admit, I am totally stoked about this build. It sounds amazing now. You can really hear when a 2 stroke is running well and you are there. Its got that sharp pop at idle and it sounds happy up top. Awesome job you guys.
That thing maybe my favorite build so far! Doug and Steve are like evil genius’s with those 2 smokes! Doing great work guys! Thanks for it all! Can’t wait to meet you at Little Sahara in Sept!!!
Great job guys.love to see Doug and Steve smiling like kids at Christmas. Leo,what's up with Beastmode?She was the baddest unit in the fleet.you have to bring it back. I'm sure I'm not the only one missing her.
I was going to make a comment on the last video that the 2 stroke unit needed only stub axles up front and all that diff weight removed but I figured you guys would get to it.
Crank Shop pipes are sooo good!!! Love the design and look. Changing the harness bar and mounting the pipes the right way was def worth it. They look awesome. Great build guys. I think "268" is in trouble😂
Wrap the pipes. Hold the heat for 2-stroke smoke. Heat on the pipes helps a lot from my snowmobile experience. Yes, they aren't running in cold, snowy weather, I get it but it would help in my opinion. Need to work on clutches too. Get that dialed and it will RIP!!!
I know it will gain weight but you might want to extend the cage around the pipes and motor, you never know when Nick or Richard will roll it and it would be a shame to hurt those crucial parts
I'd love to see you guys make an rpm act video. I know it doesn't encompass everything you guys do but it will affect you and I would say many of your viewers. Keep it up guys. You rock!
@@pocket7videos562 Him and Mrs. Osta bought some property and built a house/shop on it. He has a video series of the build on his channel of you're curious about it. And they are still in Canada to answer your question
The 2 stroke could use a airbox with maybe some little velocity stacks to help balance the intake pulses feedback coming out of it for optimal running those pod filters are great for on and off Drag Racing but Multi cylinder engines like that 1 benefit from the air Box, Would help with mid range and consistency of running, If the stock skidoo airbox doesn't work use it as a template for aluminum as a guide for about how far back the airbox wall should be from the velocity stacks
Just a tip for painting pipes. Hang them with welding wire. Use a torch to heat them up good. If you spray paint and it looks like it’s bouncing off, let cool till the paint sticks, when it does, spray the entire pipe. You won’t get any runs, the paint cures out faster. The finish is nice and uniform. BUT, having them Ceramic coated and polished would be nice, and keep the heat in the pipe too.
I would have a fan blowing on that radiator nonstop, I live in PA where we get snow and your snowmobiling been doing it for for decades the more air in the cooler you can keep that motor the better
That is Def the way those pipes needed to sit! Loving this build, you will only burn yourself on those pipes once or twice before you learn to stay the hell away from it 😄
Get that motor tuned first. Even 200 rpm on a 2 stroke sled motor is huge so if it's not tuned proper you will just be going around in circles. Cant wait to see that thing rip
Sound nicer it's got to be better then before to drive. Good luck getting it dialled in, more testing and tuning to come. It's going to be exciting to see it come together. 😎🤘👍
Look at Doug light up when it comes to a mean sled motor eating like a monster LOL!!! FREEKIN awesome guys she is NOW becoming a pro machine ....thats wild....love it good job fellas!!
And I have these brand new 20'' king dual coilovers with piggy bag reservoirs I only have two because they were almost 3:grand but I would give them to you guys for 1500 and even drive them out from Indiana would love to bring my boys to see the shop they love watching you guys rip
When I was young and a bit nuts Kawasaki came out with a 3 Cylinder 2 stroke motorcycle called the Mach3. 750cc of pure holy crap batman. I was 17 and bought a slightly used 1974 version. The guy told me to be careful. He had already put Yoshimura pipes on it and was running Benol in it. I rode it to my senior year of high school when the weather was nice...this engine reminded me so much of the sound of that thing...of course the neighbors HATED it...I would fire it up about 7am and would hold it at about 1800 to get it to warm up without fouling a plug, LOL. Fell in love with a car and sold it about 8 months later. At 62 I wouldn't want to ride it again, it had the power band of a chainsaw...but when it hit the pipes holy...would like to just have one to fire up now and again to annoy people. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Doug.
I used to road race one of those H2's. That 750 was fast (at the time) in a straight line but don't try to turn it at speed! That bike spit me off the track at Loudon, NH more times than I can count. Finally got smart and replaced it with a Norton 850. The Norton wasn't quite as fast in a straight line but it could corner very well.
Guys, specifically Doug, the Can doo X2 has me picturing a snowy night, out in the field behind the house I grew up in, getting ready for a rip!! I live it. My Mach 1 only 1000x better!! Whatcha running in that thing? I'm guessing some BR9ES NGKs😉.
I know cosmetics is not as important for this rig but I think it’ll look great with something covering the radiator almost like the look of the new naked bikes type of deal
What’s next for the Can Doo X2? Most up voted comment wins 😎
Porting, Squish, and Reeds!
stroke it and port the piss out of it
Well hopefully it gets dyno'ed one day.😎
Surly they make lighter seats and cage!
Big bore kit maybe a 1200 big bore
OH YA CLASSIC TRIPPLE SOUND NOW!! Hell ya!!!
You guys have any update when you are going to be able to get togeather at Osta-headquarters?
@@outdoormanBC I think the border is open now! Would be nice to get another colab!🤘🏼
"you could burn your arm on the old pipes but nobody did" "well nick did" "well thats his own fault man" hahaha another banger guys!
This project got about 10x cooler in this video. Really enjoying the content boys!
Turn it into a badass ride guys it's so cool to have Steve in your videos more Steve more Steve more Steve
Doug, this is by FAR my favorite build on youtube right now. Sweet build
I love everything 2 stroke, maybe because I'm 48 yrs old and I grew up riding them, my first bike was a 1983 CR-480 then I had 2 CR-500's a ATV Honda 250R a Suzuki ATV 250R and Quadzilla 500 a Kawasaki ATV 250R tecate ,many snowmobiles , a 400 Honda pilot, Polaris 400 scrambler and a custom quad I built 1988 honda 250r quad frame with a 1991 Honda CR-500 motor
Doug gets so excited for anything even remotely related to snowmobiles, I love it hahaha
If Ronnie Mac doesn’t get to drive this I’ll be a sad guy.
be sad
Just stand by 😎
"Built by a 100 thousand Japanese men."
After all the years this is probably my favorite build. Idk 2JP is hard to beat.
This thing is awesome, more awesome than I initially thought, but hard to top 2JP with anything
I'm so glad I found this channel through cleetus, great content boys.
Right dude? I got into it a year ago through Cleetus but I love this channel just as much, if not more. These dudes are just like me and my boys.
I got into cleetus through them 😂
@@Cgny same... had never heard of ol cleeter until they got together
It's the X3 Banshee ! I remember, with my banshee on dry asphalt sideways.
Can-am should do an X3 2 strokes sxs and bring down the price too! It's not like they have no motor sitting in the shed😎
Holy cow am I impressed, I expected this thing to sound like a animal with those pipes but my goodness does it sound impressive.
You should be super proud for coming up with this build Doug, it’s just mega 👌🏻
This is the coolest SXS build out there, I have to build one now for sure. Also our governor can suck it.
I wouldn't put anything near that mouth.

She’s a Ripper Boys!! That little baddie can not be tamed 💪🏼💪🏼
Now I want to go snowmobiling....close my eyes and can picture the UP
This beast needs nothing else. More than enough power for trails,dunes,mud,and track. Right now the longevity is perfect.
Doug's giddiness has me giddy lol. Doug is a sxs super hero! I have learned a lot watching him the last few years. Well done boys!
Some air shocks or Ori struts would really shave some weight getting rid of those heavy coilovers.
First off
LOVE THE BUILD.

You guys made my day with those pipes!!!! Nothing in the world sounds better than triple pipes pushing 8k
First off idk how more companies are not jumping on board to sponsor parts on this build.
Awesome build! I would be interested to know the weight difference in a new aluminum top cage, tire wheel set up (maybe skinnier tires up front), and a different shock set up for functionality and weight.
So many things I love about this project! I want to build up another 85/86 at 250r and will use a lectern carb for sure!
Those cards are the only way to go if you own a 2stroke they cost a bit more than your average carb but you get what you pay for and the buzz you'll get off of your machine will be priceless 👊✊💨💨💨👍
Sounds amazing, guys!!! Can't wait to see more videos of the Can Doo X2!
Another very unique and awesome build you got there! cant wait to see it rip off-road, Sounds so good!!
Holy cow guy she sounds real good now that you're up in the higher RPM with those new pipes sweet sweet ride fellas
Hands down some of the best footage of sparks flying!!!
Steve's awesome! Great channel guys. Creeping on 300K.
idk If I am misremembering my youth or not... but this might be the best sounding triple 2-stroke I have ever heard & this isnt even her peak form yet
I am so excited to see how she rips after the clutch adjustment (especially on the track)

The candoo has been a triumph as I had a feeling it would be.
Fine work gentlemen
came from adam and have been binging videos
Im loving seeing some 2 stroke power. Definitely felt like I was watching how it's made when the stock pipes were coming off.
Suspension next! New arms and shocks since the weight is so much different im sure you could dial the suspension in a whole lot! Love the build
I think a lightweight simple Doug built cage and painting the chasis all that neon green color would give it a more finished awesome look!
The slow mo and background music is awesome great editing nick👍🤘
I love the triple build. I've watched everyvideo since the Drummond island sesh. You guys are awesome, and to top it off. Your in the mitten!!!!
You can tell Doug is excited. This came together very quickly
That thing maybe my favorite build so far! Doug and Steve are like evil genius’s with those 2 smokes! Doing great work guys! Thanks for it all! Can’t wait to meet you at Little Sahara in Sept!!!
Great job guys.love to see Doug and Steve smiling like kids at Christmas. Leo,what's up with Beastmode?She was the baddest unit in the fleet.you have to bring it back. I'm sure I'm not the only one missing her.

I remember when the crew thought Doug was crazy that he thought of creating something like this. Now they love it🤙🏿 heck yeah Doug
Awesome guys! When you listen to machines like this how on earth can people say “electric is the way forward”.
That sounds awesome! You guys nailed it!!
Crank Shop pipes are sooo good!!! Love the design and look. Changing the harness bar and mounting the pipes the right way was def worth it. They look awesome. Great build guys. I think "268" is in trouble😂
Damn that thing sounds soooo much better. Trippppple powa!
Gretchen can hear that 2 stroke rippin 😂

Also get some EGT sensors for tuning so you don't burn it up. It can happen fast.
@@sam_s_ agreed.
@@sam_s_ maybe just wrap close to the seats and personnel.
I know it will gain weight but you might want to extend the cage around the pipes and motor, you never know when Nick or Richard will roll it and it would be a shame to hurt those crucial parts
I'd love to see you guys make an rpm act video. I know it doesn't encompass everything you guys do but it will affect you and I would say many of your viewers. Keep it up guys. You rock!
MAN, that triple sounds 100% better, and actually seems to have a lot more jump to it now! Noice!!😁👍
It sound so sweet, love the 2 stroke triple sound
Too bad it's not a Polaris triple
@@frankglasgow that would've been awesome to
One of the cleanest transition to time lapse yet nice overlay of the music before the switch
😮😮😮😮
@@SXSBlog 😯 hopefully taken as a compliment 😅
Wow what an improvement
Yall make these engine swaps in these cars look so good. There not. Good work man. I'm super impressed. This is a heck a fun car.
HELL YEAH BROTHER just watched Osta he was talking about y'all need to go down and help him build a track on his property
Did Osta move? Thought he was in Canada.
@@pocket7videos562 Him and Mrs. Osta bought some property and built a house/shop on it. He has a video series of the build on his channel of you're curious about it. And they are still in Canada to answer your question
Heck ya can't wait to rip!!
@@ostacruiser maybe get them on some wheelers 🤷♂️that would be funny
What an absolute MONSTER! it sounds so good
I like four strokes a lot quite a bit but two strokes are my favorite that is an awesome build you guys did amazing!!!!!!!!
I’m sure someone has thought about it but you should add a cage extension to protect the pipes make it look like a rock bouncer cage
Hell yeah I love 2 strokes
I have and have had a few kawasaki H1 500`s and a H2 750 and that sound right there is the language of my people, goosebumps!
Great editing / montage! Music fit perfectly. Was nice to watch 😊

Yes
That extra lubricant from running it richer with oil will benefit for what you’re going to put it through
At 20:21 with the exhaust noises echoing off the metal building sounds like a F 1 car 👍
That thing is Ripping and sounds awesome. Can’t wait to see it hit the track and get some air.
Man I wish I had a good group of friends like you guys...
Dudes that thing sounds wicked! Love the build for sure.
Man is that nice to hear, Doug & Steve know their 2 smokes🤘🤘 Be interesting to see on the track.
I saw my addition to the decor in the background! Lol.
Can do is becoming a beast. Really like the new pipes.
2-stroke running hard and it's getting better A lot better
Really nice job on the editing from the outside view to the inside view.
Just a tip for painting pipes. Hang them with welding wire. Use a torch to heat them up good. If you spray paint and it looks like it’s bouncing off, let cool till the paint sticks, when it does, spray the entire pipe. You won’t get any runs, the paint cures out faster. The finish is nice and uniform.
BUT, having them Ceramic coated and polished would be nice, and keep the heat in the pipe too.
Hell yeah brother just what I needed a blog video 💯🤘
I would have a fan blowing on that radiator nonstop, I live in PA where we get snow and your snowmobiling been doing it for for decades the more air in the cooler you can keep that motor the better
I agree. 120 -130f is probably where this engine wants to be sitting at. Much cooler than what they are probably used too.
What a BEAST!!!!!! CAN-DO sounds amazing !! Dignified ripper...
Wow those pipes give it a real sound. What an amazing machine
That is Def the way those pipes needed to sit! Loving this build, you will only burn yourself on those pipes once or twice before you learn to stay the hell away from it 😄
-Take out EPS
-Take out seats
-Make center drive
-One seater
Full send
You guys need to hit up boondocker ASAP for the turbo kit! The it can sound good and smoke regular X3’s
This build is so sweet can't wait till you guys rip it at the dunes. Can only imagine the looks it will get. Keep up the awesome content boys.
This is the SidexSide that should have been built in the first place. Polaris, Can Am and the others, take note and blow smoke !
Get that motor tuned first. Even 200 rpm on a 2 stroke sled motor is huge so if it's not tuned proper you will just be going around in circles. Cant wait to see that thing rip
The coolest sounding sxs I have ever heard.

Sweet build. Love the light weight idea, gonna be a sand ripper
That was fun to watch for sure..
Chromoly cage, bumpers, chassis parts. 2ply SS360. Bet. You can get it below 1250 easily
Gretch the Wretch is gonna get you!
I know cosmetics is not as important for this rig but I think it’ll look great with something covering the radiator almost like the look of the new naked bikes type of deal
So pumped to watch the rest of rhis build. Been a fan of you guys for almost 2 years now. Who is the oldest and the youngest of you guys?
I seriously love this build soooo so much!!!
Can do is going to do so well with paddle tires on it out in the dunes
