Thanks sleepy. I've got a set of 340mm shocks, sounds like a perfect fit.

Maico / '74 shock length

« on: August 23, 2016, 10:21:03 AM »

Can anyone tell me the stock eye to eye shock length on a 1974 400 maico? The one with the shocks moved forward.

Is it best to stick with that length with replacement shocks?

Cheers

Maico / Maico cranks

Can anyone give me some guidance on what cranks will fit a 323 series Maico 400, the '75 5 speed model. Will cranks from 73, 74 and 75 4 speed engines fit?

Thanks, Ralph

Maico / '73 vs '74.5 Maico 400

Hi,

Can you mob set me straight on the major differences between a '73 and a '74.5 Maico 400? I know the shocks are moved forward on the '74.5. I have a suspicion the 73 has less travel in the forks and the gearbox is not as sturdy but I could be completely wrong. 

Any other significant differences?

Thanks, Ralph

Tech Talk / Any restrictions on pre-75 tyre size?

« on: December 07, 2014, 04:29:18 PM »

A buddy of mine was telling me that too wide a rear tyre can be ruled illegal in the pre75 class. I can't find any indication of this in the rule book. So..

1) Is he right, are there any tyre restrictions? If so is a 110/100x18 legal?

2) While I've got your attention, are 17in and 19in rims legal too?

Cheers.

Tech Talk / 39mm PWK Keihin legal in pre-85??

« on: December 02, 2014, 02:44:30 PM »

Hello all,

I've searched quite a bit and been unable to find an unambiguous answer - Is a Keihin PWK 39mm carb legal in the pre '85 class on a 1984 Honda CR500? No arguments please and if you aren't sure let's both wait for someone who is. 

Cheers.
