It has been a while since my last post so I thought I had better do an update.
As you have seen it looks ok in the video but that is where it stops. As soon as you load it up it dies and goes and dies and so on.On friday we realised with the help of a timing light that the ignition was "walking", that is is was firing up to 15mm outside and on either side of the timing mark and so it seems that the issue is the CDI.
The bike has been sent to a workshop that is more qualified than I ever will be and I will have a clearer idea of what is going on on Tuesday.

Cheers
Rob

Rob, are you in Australia?
The sticker on the swingarm is from an Australia company, which is why I ask.

If the main jet was clogged it would have seized already. Power valve could be a good place to start then I would check the ignition timing, by that I mean strobed with a timing light v's marks made on the flywheel graduated from mm BTDC
Which is why I said this.

The 'issue' is those PVL shitter ignitions throw that away and get a proper DC/DC programmable and the world will be your oyster.

I had a little test on it today after getting it back on Friday and did the holy shit thing straight after dropping it into 2nd gear. About 30% throttle and the front wheel came off the ground, so I short shifted into 3rd and had the same reaction. With a little bit of luck weather wise I will get to test her out at Symmons Plains Raceway (Tasmania) on Sunday week.
The ignition problem turned out to be incorrect installation instructions from the manufacturer apparently.

Rob, this is a crazy coincidence!
There's very few Aussies on this board, yet two of them happen to own late Model Maicos, and both live in Tasmania.
I reckon there would only be a handful of late model Maicos in Australia.

What are you plans with the bike?
That thing would be a beast around Symmons, it'd hit a decent speed down the back straight.
In motard form there isn't a whole lot of places to ride that in Tassie.

Would love to check it out in person one day.

Hi Bio,
I bought the bike because I wanted something radically different and could not be f@#ked building another motard. 8)
And I don't like road bikes. ;)
The plan is Symmons Plains and Baskerville amd hopefully a round of the Vic's. :-
Where in this tiny little state are you ??
And we should catch up. ;D
