1982 Maico 490 Resto

Very cool. Had I known you were looking my buddy has an 81 490 that has been reed valved. We just put a new ignition on it, because that Motoplat was 40 years old. And they fail without quitting. When they go bad they do weird ****. You can’t get the tune up right, and it’s always changing.

My brother has an 80 440. He is the second owner and the original owner stopped riding the bike in 1982 and my brother bought it 1999.

He also has a 1981 Can Am 500, 1988 Cagiva 250, 1998 TM 250, 2003 Gas Gas 250 and a 2003 Maico 500.

If anyone is interested in the 81 490 PM me.
