I have a 1983 yamaha yz 490 for sale Motor was sent out to have the head ported by the best in the business Forward Motion, a Millennium Technologies LLC Company 1404 Pilgrim Road, Plymouth, WI 53073 making it run better on pump gas. Cylinder was bored over .020 and this was the first bore from original. Wiseco piston and rings. Cylinder and head were sandblasted and powder coated as well as exhaust. It starts hard and needs someone that knows these bikes. I jetted it and put larger pilot jets in it. It has a brand new clutch just rebuilt, new throttle cable. Front forks are good and I have new rubber fork boots for it, manual and fork seals. Rear shock should be rebuilt. It also needs chain rollers. This is a beast of a bike and they are getting harder to find. Frame has never been welded and the plastics are in great shape they are aftermarket Maier and Clarke tank .It has under a hour on the rebuild. I am selling it because It is hard to start and I cant figure it out. Coil was replaced new and when it starts on starting fluid it runs and idles great. Shifts through all 4 gears. I have detailed everything I know about the bike, It is a great candidate for a restoration I believe or if you are good with these bikes, I think it has a great start. Some new parts will be included. Ask any question you want. I will ship it if you arrange it and pay for it as long as the bike is paid for first. It is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end this listing early if it sells. Not sure of vin number or mileage. It only will come with bill of sale. Ebay requires a number so I put an erroneous number in that place.

1975 MAICO GS400– ALL ORIGINAL SURVIVOR! 134 ORIGINAL MILES, FRAME # 341016, ENGINE # K407112, TWO OWNERS FROM NEW, TITLE INCLUDED, RUNS AND RIDES 96 Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE Maicowerk A.G. was a West German motorcycle manufacturer. Founded in 1926 by Ulrich Maistch as Maistch & Co, the company originally manufactured 98 and 123 cc Ilo two stroke engines. After Worls War II, they began producing their own unit construction two-stroke engines, selling complete motorcycles. Maico made a brief foray into the automobile business with their own line of microcars in the late 1950s. Maico have also made go kart engines. The road motorcycles were named after winds... 'Blizzard', 'Typhoon' etc., but the company was better known for its purpose-built Motocross and Enduro machines, and for its 'Maicoletta' motor scooter, both of which sold in higher numbers than the road motorcycles. Maico Racing Motorcycles: Maico motocross (MC) and enduro (GS) racing models proved very successful in both European and American competition throughout the 1970s. While lacking the financial capital and big money race-team backing like that of the Japanese factories of Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki, Maico riders such as Adolf Weil, Ake Jonsson, and Willy Bauer proved to be a serious challenge to the Japanese factories and produced numerous top three finishes in the Motocross World Championships. The firm also experienced some success in Grand Prix road racing competitions with rider Borje Jansson winning three 125cc Grand Prix races between1972 and 1973. American publication Motocross Action called the 1981 Maico Mega 2 - 490cc the greatest open-class motocross bike of all time. The 1974.5 400cc and 440cc GP, 1978/79 250cc Magnum and 1981 490cc models along with any year 501cc motocross bike are also some of the most sought-after vintage MX and twin-shock motorcycles to this day. One of the visual modernizations of the Maico off-road motorcycles was the move from a "coffin" style tank in 1974 to a "teardrop" style tank in 1978/79 on bikes like the 250 Magnum. The bikes later moved to plastic tanks in 1980 with the Mega 490. One of the largest contributions to the world of motocross suspension technology came in the 1974 season when the Wheelsmith Motorcycles team in the USA and the Gunther Schier teams in Europe forward-mounted the rear shocks on the Maico factory-backed motorcycles, immediately increasing the travel and ability to trump the competition. This initiated a frantic effort on the part of factory teams and privateers alike; chopping up their frames in a desperate attempt to remain competitive. Maicowerk AG filed for bankruptcy in 1983, but continued to produce small numbers of motocross and enduro models (re-badged as M-Stars in the United States due to legal issues) up through 1986. Subsequent manufacturers have purchased the brand name and applied it to their own limited production motorcycles. Modern open-class dirt-bikes are still being produced under the Maico brandname. The ATK Intimidator dirt-bike (reportedly the most powerful production 2 stroke motorcycle available aside from Maico's own motorcycles) features a Maico motor. After the company went out of business in 1986, its assets were taken over by a Dutch company, but to this day retains a strong cult following. Many riders restore vintage Maicos for display or to take back to the track.
