value of vintage maico bike
1959 Blizzard 250
My friend recently acquired a 1959 Maico 250 Blizzard that is in pretty
decent shape, although it is dismantled. I love the style of the
bike and would like to purchase it from him. He's the kind of guy
that won't ever touch the thing and it will never get restored under his
ownership. I know he'd sell it for $1500, but I want to make sure
that it's worth that and that I can find the parts to restore it.
What is your opinion and are parts for this bike still available somewhere?
Thanks.

Maico Magnum 440cc 1978 For Sale
Purchased new from the famous "Wheelsmith Motorcycles" shop in Fountain
Valley, California. Wheelsmith was known back in the day, as being the
"Shelby" of motorcycles. Guys would have their bikes upgraded with factory
approved modifications at the Wheelsmith dealership before taking delivery
of them. As you can see by the pic of the original receipt here, there
were a number of factory/dealer mods made.
Receipt reads: 1978 450 Maico, Eng# RT3380659, Frame# 3364762, W/E Pegs,
Case Saver, Mud Guard, S'Stl Spokes (rear), Gas Cap, Case Split, Clutch
Mod, Shim Trans, Port Cyl, Polish Linkage, Set Squish, Pin Main, Custom
Pipe, WhirlPull Throttle, Terry Throttle, Terry Clutch, Fork Seal Mod,
Drill Dampers, Size Cyl, Lighten Piston.
Original paperwork includes the Maico Magnum Owner's Manual, The Build
Sheet (receipt), A handwritten note from Phil Smith on Wheelsmith Engineering
letterhead that reads "Dear Mark, Enclosed is the Manufacturer's Statement
of Origin with our endorsement to you. We have not had to get the notorization
down here. However, if you need it in Oregon I'm certain the bank w (sic)
some one will sign it for you. Hope the bike works out fine and you are
winner. (signed) Phil Smith". Of course, the statement of Origin and title
are included.
Runs excellent. Normal wear for an off-road vehicle that is almost 30
years old. Near new shocks. Was rode regularly up until last fall when
new bikes were purchased for the household.
There are two small tears in the vinyl seat on the side. The pipe seat/seal
(where it goes into the head) could use a stiffer spring. A bit of smoke
comes out of there while
the bike is warming up. The shut off switch is not there anymore, just
the wire. Touch the wire to the handle bar and the bike shuts off.
The case has the usual minor seepages here and there and the compression
relief has been plugged.

I need help with 2 wires to put my Blizzard back together. One is the
wire from the coil (it goes where) The one from the coil frame goes to
the points I hope and of course the large balack too the sparkplug.The
one from the center of the coil is where I am lost. The person who made
me anew one put 2 wires on it and I have to go back and have a new one
made again with the one that I do not remember where it goes.
Then there is a large red one in a yellow case that runs from the left
lug (of the 3) next to the solinoid below the coil (no idea) i know that
the 3 lugs are for the frame wires out of the headlight.

Good Morning,
I am looking for anyone who could offer some assistance and history
on the older European 250cc air-cooled motorcycles that were used for enduros
and such throughout Europe. The class of racing that I am involved
with stipulates that the motor must be an air-cooled 250cc motorcycle engine.
We currently run a 1979 Yamaha YZ250 air-cooled motor, but I'm wondering
if any of the European motors were better, faster and more preferred. The
rules do not stipulate an era so if Maico or Bultaco made a 1985 250cc
air-cooled motor, that would be acceptable. It just needs to be a 250cc
air-cooled 2 stroke motor. Looking for any advice and help.

Hello Maico-fans, I just wanted to make myself known. I've
been a Maico-fan ever since I first saw one in action. I used to
visit MX-races at young age and the Maico's there seemed to breathe out
pure, raw power So, at that time I knew: if ever I would race myself, it
just had to be on a Maico. I turned 15 and purchased my first Maico:a
''77 mc440.The first tryout scared the hell out of me. No way I could keep
that front wheel on the ground. I really had to work-out my fiscal
condition to keep this animal under control. So I did and pretty soon I
wanted more and found it in a '82 Alpha 1 mc 490.This one I raced with
in 86.Although it was kinda old-fashion (back in 86,any other bike had
liquid-cooled engine, disc-brakes, smoother powerband, lighter to handle
and so on)I had some pretty good results and even made some hole-shots!
People were really impressed, so I got a chance of a lifetime from a Maico-dealer,
who was trying hard to relaunch Maico. The fantastic GM-star just
got out in its blue version and at that time,together with the Husky, was
the most beautiful bike in MX. So I got a chance to race this bike,...'till
I first rode it.Man,what the f*** did I get myself into, I thought
to myeslf. I knew I could expect more power than the Alpha 1(according
to the add,it had about 5 more hp's.). Well, Ican tell ya: where-ever they
got these horses from, they were sure well raised. It took me a few
training-sessions to get used to this overwhelming power-boost.In the end
I got away with it, which resulted in my first (but unfortunately only)
winning race.I had beaten those Japs and this gave me an enormous feeling
which lasts up until now. Eventually, I had to give up MX racing
and concentrated on road-bikes for several years. Last year, I found
my own GM-star after 14 years!It was still in fairly good condition and
was even upgraded with some '87 parts: side panels and a power-valved
cylinder (what??More power??). This time, I'll never let it slip out of
my hands again. I even bought a GME490 , GP250 and another GP500,
which is renewed and for sale by the way (one of those monsters is more
than I can handle). Hope you all liked my story. It sure fills
my heart with joy to see there are still so many Maico-enthusiasts around
and I salute you all! -- kurt.catelin at pandora.be

In the 70's I taught a motocycle mechanic course at the community college
in Las Vegas. At that time my custom Maico was stolen. It was the best
of both worlds. It had a ported 360 yamaha engine that would rev out of
sight with a custon snail tuned pipe and a 36mm Mikuni. Used a CZ rear
wheel that had great brakes and modified front forks with 10'' of travel.
HD forward mounted rear shocks handled the rear. It was a great motocycle
and would handle better than anything on the market at that time. Unfortunately
it was stolen from the college where I used it for demonstrations. Randy

Wanted:
Looking for help with a clean-up project. I have a 1958 Maico 200 that's
been in the family since the mid 60's. Since then and for a few years prior
it was in storage. In the late 70's a Maico dealer offered to tune and
clean it up if they could put it on display. Unfortunately they went out
of business with my bike torn apart, I was luck to get back what I did.
Well this winter I decided to clean it up and get it running again, but
as luck has it the rings are frozen to the piston. I have not been able
to locate a piston for the 200.
Here's my new plan, can anybody tell me if it will work.
The piston isn't in too bad of shape so I'm going to get the piston
teflon coated, this will increase the size by about .002" then I will bore
or hone the cylinder to the recommended clearance and live with it. For
rings I hope to have Wisco send me the best fit possible based on the cylinder
bore and piston ring groove width.
I'm also in need of the following (lost by the Maico dealer)
Headlight trim ring and headlight lens
Tail light assembly (Small teardrop shape)
Shift lever (big ugly thing with toe and heel pads)
I have attached a picture of the headlight bucket and one of the bike
which is half apart. I'm not going to restore just disassemble clean, grease
and fix what's broke.
Thanks for any assistance -- jonelaker at msn

HI EVERYONE! it is so great to actually have a place for Maico people!!
I used to have a 1975 250 mc when i was 16. it was an awesome bike!
I raced it a lot. I also rode it every day, when I would get home
from school!! I had bought it from a local shop. actually, one of
the people who owned the shop was in school with me. I have great
memories of that bike. but, as most of know we do things we wished we would
not have done, yes I sold it after about three years!! During which
I DID NOT have any problems with this bike!! I changed the oil after
every ride or race, that was the most maintenance. NO MAICO BREAKO
HERE!!! it was fun smokin' those jap bikes!!!! I own an 1982
alpha 250. It needs some repairs, it is in decent shape!!!
I paid 125.00 for it!! It needs a new sleeve, and piston setup.
A few bolt on here and there and it will be great!! After I
get it running pretty good, I'll probably take it apart and clean and paint
it (restore it!) oh well, that's it for now!!! i hope to see ya'll on the

Wow! A Maico website. How cool. I have a 1980 250MX (the last
year of dual shocks). It has been ridden once in the last 19 years and
that was about 14 years ago! It's been sitting in my garage forever.
Now my kids are old enough to ride and it's time to dust off the cobwebs.
I need to find someone in the Southern California area that can get it

the old one is probably dried up and new fork seals. ANY IDEA WHO
CAN HELP ME GET THIS BIKE BACK IN RUNNING CONDITION OR WHERE I CAN GET

Hello Maico Fans
I have a 1985 250cc water-cooled M-Star. I am rebuilding the front
forks. Does anyone have some info on oil weight, oil quantity/level,
air pressure. They last owner had 20 weight oil and ran no fork pressure.
When I road the bike like that the front end was a real workout.
While removing the fork bodies I noticed the springs seem quite soft which
makes me think about a light oil and maybe 5 pounds of pressure or more.
As for oil level I have no clue. I am 6'1" tall and weigh 210 lbs.
I would consider myself as an intermediate rider. Big jumps are not
my bag. On the ground and on the gas is my style. Any info would
be great.
FYI: Look for cracks in the air boot close to the carburetor.
I found that the 3M automotive weather striping adhesive will seal them
up after a good cleaning. I know, replacing the boot works even better!
Thanks,

Hey hey from hot springs arkansas,
I bought a 1983 maico 250 spider in 1990 and this is my chance to brag
to those who care to read. I bought it when I was 19, and like most
people in my area and age group I had never heard of a maico. I was
looking for a yz 250 when a good friend told me of the mighty maico.
I went to see it and bought it immediately.
the fellow I bought it from said, "be careful kid, it'll get up in your
face". ...the next day I called him back looking for a new rear fender
and seat base.
I rode the bike frequently for two years with little maintenance required.
when it did break down (lost the skirt off the piston) I had just completed
a 200 mile ride 2-day and was running the gas out of the carb when it happened!
it has never once left me stranded more than a mile from the house or
truck. I'm 6'-1" so the maico ergo's are better suited to my size
and the suspension
is something I have never felt as comfortable with on any other bike.
rocky trails that would have jap bikes three foot in the air and sideways,
I can blast through with much more straight line stability. It's the most
forgiving bike I own. when it comes to long uphill stretches the
mighty maico really shines!
once, on a ride with about 8 people we started up a really nasty powerline
when the lead man lost it. Hondas, suzukis, ktm's and can-ams were strewn
about and I was stopped upright about 3/4 the way up. the guy in
front of me said " you're gonna have to turn around and try again". I Eased
out on the clutch, the maico said, "uurrrp" took off crawling and climbed
that son of a bitch.
I rubbed it in till they all wanted me dead.... "the mighty maico!!!
With a piston forged in the fires of hell!!!!"
I still have the mighty maico and my wife say's I look more at home
on it than any bike I have. I'll never sell it. It's family now.
it badly needs some attention which I plan to give soon. like
many of you.
I'm looking for a kickstart shaft. Any hints?

Hi my name is Patrick,

We think it was a 96 though. I was wondering if you could send some pic's
of the enduro's and the dirtbikes around that time. It had a seat
that was dark blue and it was in the tank a bit. Also gas tank had a notch
for the starter to rest in. It had a relief valve to for if you cranked
it and it got to hard to crank over. It was also water cooled and it had
a monoshock on the back. Also it had disc brakes. If you could send
some pic's I would really like it. if not thanks anyway

TESTIMONIAL....... I live in Washington state, and last week had the
opportunity to visit NORTHWEST MAICO/CZ in Bend Oregon. (541-389-6112)
I have to tell you that it IS vintage bike heaven, and I was very impressed
by the shop and found Rick Clark to be very helpful and very friendly.
I can't tell you how much these guys are devoted to the marques, and the
work and restoration's I seen were of top-notch workmanship, with attention
to detail nothing short of amazing. They are very supportive of vintage
racing and shared my enthusiasm with motorcycles.
Their shop is utterly sanitary, with nary a dust speck or bolt out of
place that I could see.....with plenty of bits and spares available and
lots of good advice.
My advice to you is if you own a Maico or a CZ that you give them a
try for service and parts...I have to say that first impressions are lasting
ones, and these guys impressed me.
In closing, I own a 92' Maico MC 500 water cooled, and the bike is very
powerful and, handles well. I sometimes hill climb, and last week me and
a buddy tried to climb a hill with our Honda's, and after many attempts,
failed miserably. The next day I went out with the Maico and climbed the
hill easily, and was actually gaining speed at the top.
I, in turn went to climb the unclimbable spot on Mt. Clemens, and failed
the first time, but on the second run, I made it to the top, and I was
actually sitting on the gascap. It was brute power and courage that carried
me up, and my buddies wont even try it, they are so intimidated by the
hill. My Maico rocks, and I'm glad I own it.

polished ports ( standard ). It goes surprisingly well, BUT!
I need more power. A little bird tells me that the 320 barrel
& piston goes straight on with some mods to the powervalve and head.
Could anyone tell me, can I bore out my spare 250 barrel and replate it,
hopefully saving some cash! i.e. is the porting identical to
the 250? Also, will it give me a worthwhile power gain. Failing that,
any tips on making it faster would be appreciated. -- Mike

Yes I am the person who asked you about the new Maicos. Reading your
letter date Nov 23, 1999. I have already spoken to the manufacturers
in Holland and they are definitely making huge progress. When I called
him he was on a other phone and I could hear the conversation. It was about
sending 13 New Maicos to a German dealer. I then asked him a few
favors like Brochures and Pamphlets to all the new 2000 Maicos and he agreed
to send me the information to California. He also told me that they
were doing a big Motocross bike show in Holland and that a lot of dealers
were to be at the show to look at all the new MAICOS. So it does
look like they are doing something really good for the MAICO name.
I also asked him about the quality of the new bikes and he assured me that
they were better than before. So good-luck to you my friend and I,
in the other hand will soon have a NEW 2000 , 500cc two stroke MAICO.

Here is something very interesting. This gentleman e-mailed me
asking what I knew about the 1998 and 1999 Maico models. I wrote
back telling him that to the best of my knowledge Maico ended production
in 1983. Seems I was quite wrong. I'm still not sure where
they are producing them but this is what I received in my latest communication.
Does anyone else have more information? -- Sheldon
Aubut biker at cwizard
That's truth!! Here in Chile a friend was the representative of
Maico and had three models of 1998, 250 cc Motocross and 320 Enduro.
I am very interested in more information because I will manage Maico Chile,
and I am trying to promote Maico in this country and perhaps other countries.
Actually I am Product Manager of Bel-Ray Co. in Chile, in the motorcycling
area, and team manager of the Honda - Procircuit - Bel-Ray Official Team.
If you want, I can send you the photos and info about Maico that I have.

I've posted your message on the Maico page. Maybe other owners will

Was Maico out of production for a while? -- Sheldon T.
Aubut
I'm not sure that they ever ceased production, but internal problems
kept them from being a serious threat in the ever changing world of motocross.
They have, however, moved their production facility to Holland, and are
now producing what looks to be some really competitive machines in the
250 and open classes, and have been once again assembling a factory race
team.
Refer to the Maico Madness page for a reprint of Off-Road's article
by former Dirt Bike editor, Rick Sieman, aka Super Hunky, and by all means,
give them some serious consideration if you're planning to purchase a new
bike. (No, I'm not employed by Maico, I'm just a rider that doesn't want
to see them disappear.)

(From Sheldon: Check out the Maico Madness web site at:
http://www.maicomadness.com,
it is a great resource.
Someone on the Maico page says that MAICO is still producing bikes.
OK, that's true but it's a kind of badge engineering. MAICO (Germany)
IS
out
of business, and someone in the Netherlands bought the MAICO name and builds
bikes. These bikes aren't bad, BUT: if for example HARLEY-DAVIDSON would
be bought by Suzuki AND produced in Japan, would you still say that it's
a HARLEY?????
Best regards -- Hartmut -- Hartmut
Schouwer
Sheldon answers: Hartmut, it
could still be a Harley (or Maico), sort of. It could still be something
to be proud of, if it were a good bike. And for lack of any other
name to associate it with, I would still consider it a Harley (or Maico)
if I owned one. I sure would want it to follow that heritage, even
knowing that it may not be quite true to the original, or made in the same
country. We still need something to hold onto, and sometimes all
we have is a name.

If the new owner of a brand tries to build bikes that keep the spirit
of the original ones, that's OK. Sometimes this even leads to improvements
and developments that we would have expected from the original owner of
the brand. That's not what I had in mind when I wrote about badge engineering;
MAICO really isn't a good example: they still build all-terrain bikes,
and they are built with the same intention as before. What I meant: if
a company imports cheap (not even bad) mass-production bikes or scooters
and puts famous badges on it to make more money, and if these bikes don't
have anything in common with the products of the brand we knew (just imagine
a modern 50cc plastic / automatic SSanyong scooter with a URAL logo on
it;-), that's nothing which I would support. -- Hartmut
