I know this is old but I'm glad I came across it🔥🔥... arguably one of the greatest bikes in Motocross history revolutionized the sport and the bike development
Yes majority of the work done between my dad and I. The engine running and setup done by Moreland Moto Shack in Essex. Ignitions we had our fair share of issues initially with a weak spark or burning out. Found just running an original was the best thing which can be hard to source
Too fast I know. It was first start and first Maico. I've had a fair few since with the latest two both being the reed valve versions. Neither tick over but are great when racing on track

Sweet! You should keep that bike in your living room.
I have another like new, every nut and bolt. 1979 440
I had a '71 Maico 400. It sounded almost as sweet as 0:48 your 490 . I still feel the vibration on my right hand!

Had a400 Marco.

What brand plastics you use?
All ordered from wulfsport uk
I have the same bike! I can't for the life of me find parts here in the sates for it though.
Not much easier here in England either tbh
No problem at all. Join the vintage maico group on facebook. You have a bunch of dealers in the states.
@@Birky_41 You have Wulfsport, Racebase or Jeroen at VMX-Service in Holland.
Castor Oil in the fuel?
It was when we got it yes but since switched from the bing carb and gone onto putoline mx9 purely from a reliable racing perspective
