First run of the bike in forever. The air filter currently installed restricts the air a lot therefore the bike is running rich and low on power, actually a good thing for this bike. This bike will do 100+ mph from the factory, needless to say, the bike scares me a little. seeing how I have little experience. I was filming, cousin riding. Bike belongs to me.

  • @jonnysuperglide yeah you are right. I posted in the description that the current air filter was too restrictive. The bike looks better now, cleaned up, new plastic (not installed yet) and new decals. Thanks for the watch.

  • It scares you? It doesn't look like you even know how to ride a motocross bike from seeing how you go through the gears... Maybe you should let a man have that bike. All you're worried about is looking at the camera trying to 'show off' or something.. Not my style..... thumbs down on this video... boooo

  • @jamzusa I'm filming, not riding. Person riding rides modern bikes, usually under 400cc. Let a 'man' have the bike? Is that what you are, since you come to my video to put down someone trying to get into the vintage mx community? No, you are no man, you are a jackass. This video has NOTHING to do with 'style' or 'showing off'. This is to show that there are people who find these bikes and restore them. Looking at your comment makes me laugh after seeing your religon bs on your channel.

  • @B0DYR0T yes, it would if tuned right and running wide open. I can even prove it by doing the math on the gears, rpm, and tire size. But no, it wont in its current condition.

see all

  • It's not running real good sounds like it's in need of some thing air mix or top End. really starts to brake up on high end not good like the wrong plug maybe nice old bike so sad it looks that bad

  • @jamzusa put up or shut up bro

  • @jamzusa go fuck yourself

  • @MrsSidneySouth You probably have more experience than me. These days I am just trying to get my truck fixed and do some projects that have been left untouched for years. Nice 400 by the way, I love these Maicos.

  • That bike does not do 100+ mph. If you geared it retarded tall then maybe.
