A different exhaust will change the note mate - there is a page on here somewhere that describes all of the aftermarket exhausts superbly. It will also give you more power as the standard puch cigar pipe doesnt have any 'expansion chamber' so you'll get better noise and a more efficient engine! :)

I'm completely new to bikes of any kind and bought a maxi 2 months ago in need of a rebuild. I've nearly finished now, in fact the engine is done - I stripped it and fitted all four new bearings in the case, a DMP racing conrod, and DMP/k-star 70cc piston head and cylinder and a bing 15mm carb along with a foam filter and a Biturbo exhaust. Will I have to be careful with how high I rev i

Old thread alert! Anyone done the seat mod described above but then propped the back up so the seat is level? I'm just wondering how people might have done it. I'm going to mod my seat tonight but I dont really want the mad angle at the front of the seat as it's goin to be my daily commuter and it doesn't look like it'd be pleasant on the old testiculay

thankyou very much matey very useful! I've managed to catch the thread and wind it up sufficiently and its got rid of almost all the play - the only thing Im wondering now is, is it best to wind them in as much as possible with them resting naturally about where they need to be or is it preferable to wind them in further so they are past the point of 'resting naturally in place' for

Forum: Repair
Just a quick reply.I might have sounded defensive as in a way I was being. I didnt appreciate the tone of posts - people insinuating not only that I was 'dumb' but that my bike didn't exist! Im sure other people might jump on the defence too.And no - the bike won't be stripped down because I've given up! I got it about 2 months ago, I'm a car man and have never owned

Forum: Repair
Just to clarify it IS a Puch Maxi Super - it says that on its registration certificate and a quick google brings up other examples. Perhaps its a Europe only thing that never crossed the pond? Who knows. As far as 'less contact area' I'm not mounting the tyre to a hulahoop... Its a relatively thin wheel but not absurdly so. The tyres are now on and look superb - they also look gripp

Forum: Repair
greatsnowy, sorry Im not sure what you mean exactly - So If I drop the wheel away from the front forks, what should I do then? The lower bits of the forks (the chromed bits) spin around - should they be wound around before putting the wheel back on? How are they held in?

For some reason my iPhone changed the word when to egg.I'm still confused about this though if anyone could shed some light on it for me?

Hi I have the exact same problem at the moment. Do you just mean that egg you pull the lever, the clutch arm needs to be fully pressing against the side? I really can get my head round it unfortunately and it's halting my progress!

Hi guys I'm restoring an 83 maxi and I'm now trying to refit the arm and spring that go on the outside of the clutch case (it's an E50) I'm not sure how best to do it? Or even exactly how it's supposed to be fitted? Does the clutch cover have to come off to fit it properly?
