    Sir, you need a museum. I have a 77 maico in relatively good shape, it needs someone to love it the way you take care of yours! Amazing.

    I’ve had several left side KTM open class bikes. I will lean the bike over first than put it in gear and rock the bike back and forth about 4 times and than by the 3rd kick it starts. I use this technique on all my 2 stroke bikes also. I guarantee you will be glad you tried it ... are your money back.

    I can understand why you'd want a liquid cooled, because of the performance, and better cooling system, and yata yata yata, but the sound of an air cooled engine is better in my opinion.

I allready have an air cooled bike, a IT490 (that I'm switching to YZ spec) and it's engine noise is much, much louder then either my CR or KX500s. Im going to try to get some rubber dampers to quiet those ringing fins, but it'll allways be louder.

I have a motorized bike on my channel with details about it being sold if you are interested. I have a video of it on my channel, if you wanna come see it. I have to get an idle screw for the carb first, though. After we sell it me and my dad may go get either a Yamaha DT125 or GT80 Enduro. Cheers and God Bless.
