Any idea on what crank phasing they/he used on this Maico ?
Whoever did it ,did a neat job .
I can just imagine trying to kick start that on the second day of a two day enduro .I can hear my mates asking "Where have you Bing all day ?"

Great bikes!!! Still have my 78 IT175 that I bought new and have pictured before (not this thread).

Thought I would go for a change of pace and recently picked up this pup, a complete 1967 Kawasaki 250cc A1SS with 6.8K on the clock. Amazingly this rascal is, despite the external rust, in real good mechanical shape. The tank internals are perfect as is the engine (almost).

Will require the normal elbow grease and some parts to recover some of it's original cosmetic appearance but I'm looking to turn it into a near original runner as opposed to a museum piece. Currently torn down for rehab and so far, so good.

I picked this one up from CL. I have been rounding up parts and cleaning it since. It is in pretty good shape for it's age. I just ordered a bunch of needed parts, and dropped the cylinder off for boring. It's needed a bunch of TLC, but I paid less than you might for a used mountain bike (I sold a set of golf clubs to pay for it). It's a '74 Suzuki TC185 (actually a 183, but with a 1mm overbore it'll really be a 185). It has a dual range 5 speed transmission. I need to find a petcock, and a left side passenger footpeg, but other than that it's pretty complete.
I fabbed up a rack for it a month ago or so.

Since the first picture Ive gotten all the lights, a mirror, sprocket cover, airbox, and some electrical stuff fixed.
