  • Yes my bike has a reed valve most 250's seem to have them standard.

  • I have never replced my primary. If you rebuild the motor check the condition of the chain. If you need a replacment you have 2 options find a good used maico primary chain or use a Mercedes Benz Timing chain. Mercedes metric fit maico components.

  • Info about maico in sweden :) They are illegal to drive... Apparently they are to powerfull :) You cant even register them at a contest xD

  • Interesting. Sounds like mopeds are the way togo. To bad for Sweden

  • Hey, You interested in a modern bike trade? I've got an '02 KTM 200 I'd consider trading for a clean, well maintained Maico.

  • Hello,

    Not interested in trading, I plan on holding onto my vintage dirt bikes. This is a dieing breed of machines.  You may want to check ebay just type in Maico and there is always at least 2 or 3.

  • no...the 490 and 501 were beasts

  • Maicopotimous

  • My '82 490 is getting close to complete.

  • Does your bike have the reeds or the port cylinder?

  • Husqvarna must have funded these events

  • Yes, I've got a new one. I've got a whole new clutch basket and crankshaft year, none of these componets were even correct for the bike and the chain was so loose it was wearing in the cases. I was just wondering in general how often you were replacing it. According to many people on Maicos, they say check it often and replace it probably every 30 hours or so since after it wears down it can break the cases. Replace once it has about an inch of play.

  • How often do you change the primary chain?
