Maico Bible?
« on: December 31, 2007, 10:18:51 pm »
The thread on the 'Yamaha Bible' has me wondering if there's a similar book available for Maicos.
My bike's a '78 Maico Magnum 440 and I'm looking for anything useful on this subject; a workshop manual would be perfect.
I've found these two generic items on the 'Clymer' site:
 
Collection series - Vintage Dirt Bikes vol 2 and;
Vintage Collection - Two Stroke Motorcycles.


Is there anyone on the Forum familiar with these volumes?
Can anyone advise a lead on any worthwhile Maico publications?

Thanks Paul; Maico and ebay were the only two words I recognised so I'm guessing it's not written in English...

Weekend Wariors has some parts diagrams and lists etc. There is now manual availaobe thta I know of for the Aws, or Magnums until the 83 Manual. The 82 would be helpful-as it is Magnum engine and all.

Try this link:

Go to Chassis or engine for exploded views -oh yeah select year.
BTW Lynn does great work too.  :) :)
