Agreed, I'm going to stick with my manual Husky.

Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

 8) Yeah, that's awesome! Someone should convert him, looks like he could use a real bike, and maybe one he could start!

Man!  I saw that video a long time ago and have been trying to relocate it (and share it here) for months!

That said, I couldn't help but notice that in the comments to that video, someone was saying that two-strokes are better because on four-strokes, you "always have to replace the reed valves and shit."  I thought that was pretty funny.  ;D

I had a KLX300 5 years ago, before i saw the light.
Main reason I sold it was all of the above.
Just would not go when hot. >:D
It's no fun sitting in the middle of nowhere and waiting half an hour for your bike to cool down before it will go, just because you turned it off to have a pee.

Wow, that sounds like it really sucks!  I'm used to all my bikes being first-kick when they're hot.  It's when they've been sitting for a while that they need a massive, time-consuming three kicks.  Well, the 250 does anyway, the 120 starts first-kick after 12 months in the garage.

I think the reason the bike wouldn't start is because no one was speaking english  :o

J/K

I had a friend with a YZF426 and you could stand on the kicker, was amazing, wouldn't move at all.  However, it had a compression release and you just rotated the kicker to a certain position, then you could release the compression release and it was easy to kick from that spot, just had to feel for it.  But ya, if you didn't know how to do that it was hard but once you do it a few times becomes easy.

Not sure if the same thing existed on that bike.
