1981 was the last good year. Sadly it was animosity between Family Members that killed Maico. Internal Sabotage....there's a small Shop in Germany that makes Bikes to Order (Maico/Kostler). Expensive, of course. I think some of their Bikes are 17,000 to 18,000 Euro < it's roughly the same in USD

Dang. I owned a 1978 CR250 back in the late ‘70s, and I never knew what Elsinore stood for until now. lol. Thanks for that. Man I HATED that left side kick start. I was a skinny 140 pound 15 year old trying to kick start that darn thing. I eventually went back to RMs, which was, imo, the best Japanese platform at that time. Love ‘em all though.

If a Detroit deisel 2 stroke works with large bore and stroke than why did everyone think it impossible. No forced induction ? Is that why the bike was normally aspirated
@Maicowerk 2 ай бұрын
@@waynegarfield6607 I dont know all the mechanics around it but even 500cc 2 stroke si difficult to achive. Suzuki gave up and yamaha had issues even. First the diesel engine runs on diesel.and is a very large engine. It has a glow plug and it caps at 750 rpm. So to make a smaller versiom thats usable on a bike with thr normal 2 stroke fluid mechanics are likely around where the difficulty becomes. He was able to gear this bike like a street bike where 1st was like 3rd. Im sure theres some more in depth.details about small engine 2 strokes and the difficulty as they grow larger in displacement but I have not looked in detail. Maybe sometime Ill take a closer look.

@@waynegarfield6607 I would also say that likely the strokes end up being longer. This bike had (bore x strokr) 109mm x 83mm. The early lanz bulldogs had 150 x 210mm and these vary later modles had 8.8 inch x 10.x inch. The stroke is longer than the bore and rpms low.

Synthetic two stroke I then change the shop I bought my oil from and I asked s silklean two stroke got home mixed up the oil and blow my big ends I was given natural two stroke oil

I restored an 1983 490cc Maico way back in the 90s..but left it completely stock..It was an ex race bike but surprisingly apart from the stretched 2 primary chains the motor was in great condition..Wish I'd kept it..Best torque monster for any hill you point it at.
