General Two Stroke Talk / Has anybody heard the recent Husqvarna news?

« on: March 09, 2013, 05:35:24 PM »

i personally dont think its a bad thing, BUT it will be sad to see a genuine husqvarana not being produced

You've been sad since 1987   Just saying.

  PS..No pun intended but I trust Mr.Pierers words a heck of a lot more than the people from Maico International... " title="Angry" class="smiley"> just saying.

I don't get the connection, they never said they were going to acquire Husqvarna and get them back into motocross!

2 Stroke ports are "chamfered", i.e. rounding off the ports so they aren't sharp edges.  This prevents wear and tear on the piston and rings as they pass over the ports (i.e., like going past a gillotine every stroke!).  4 Strokes have valves at the top so they don't have to worry about that

I talked to him a year or so ago.  He has a 1989 Maico 500, the exact one in the posters, serial #1.  However, it's pretty much in parts and the cases are busted and would need replaced.

You can always check out my site, www.maicowerk.com  There are pictures of bikes in different years however there are original ads and brochures so you could go through those and see if there's any 1977 pictures.

In 10 years, when the bike is older and 3rd hand and someone buys a universal silencer, they're going to get hot exhaust up their butt and covered in smoke when they stop

Just saying, that's how I look at things, not everything will always be sealed 100%properly!

Ossa looks like a pretty cool bike.  The only thing that freaks me out is the exhaust being under the seat!
