I have an 82 alpha 1 maico 250, Shes a runner!! Screams. She was raced for about a year when she was new,, everything in the motor broke (maico breako!!) Its been gone through extensively. Recently, Carbs re-jetted, new inlet manifold, new intake manifold, new air filter, New 12 tooth sprocket (im just learning this bike and it was geared too high for a starter. Im in Tahoe and we have a lot of uphill stuff) Got a real nice trials tire for the rear, and need a front. Again, shes a real screamer!! Wants to go faster than I do, for sure! Im new here, so, please say HI!!!!
