    I was an apprentice at Maico and the owner of an MC 440. Due to the expected Kickstarter setback, we had a different starting procedure. Tilt the motorcycle slightly on its side, step on the kick starter with your right foot and then, hopefully in time, let your foot slide backwards off the kick starter immediately after the step. We were always warned that some US boys broke their foot while kicking a Maico 😉

    how much different it is compared to stock one? just ordered a silencer for my exc 250 -13, later on the full pipe maybe. :D

    • @derekvalenzuela492
      @derekvalenzuela492 Před 4 měsíci

      Honestly couldnt tell you because i have never rode the bike with the stock pipe on it. I instantly lit this one on.

  • @toolstogollc5339
    @toolstogollc5339 Před 4 měsíci

    You have to "tickle" the bing carb! My Dad owned 11 Maico's. Use your two fingers to block each of the overflow hoses on the carb. Then depress the black drain / tickle button to flow fuel into the carb. Should then only take 3 kicks at max to start.

    You've obviously never tried to start to make go before you have to use your right leg stand on the left side of the bike you'll never start it like that

    • @derekvalenzuela492
      @derekvalenzuela492 Před 7 měsíci

      I start it with my left all the time. Usually 3rd kick. That was the first start in a couple years with the engine being fogged

      Rather have the chain take out the plastic cover. They rip the case half off. I own two bike that are missing a chunk of the case where the threads are. Bought them that way but with that engine design i dont think it benefits it to have it on.
