25 TIPS AND TRICKS FOR YOUR VINTAGE DIRT BIKE

See the ignition wires running through the front motor mounts on this Husky? Well, normal vibration will eventually cut through the wire and short it out, often smoking the ignition in the process. A zip tie will keep it from moving around.To make sure that your Maico (or CZ) rear brake arm returns, fit a fresh inner-tube rubber band like this. It'll also keep the axle adjuster bolt clean.

 

Want to make your old motor look like new? Heat resistant barbecue flat black grill paint is the perfect match for most black-painted engines.This little clip keeps the Maico brake rod on your pedal. At least it's supposed to. To make sure, put a zip-tie around the clip.

 

After you wash your bike (or ride in wet conditions), always remove the wheels and lightly sand the inside of the drums to remove the rust that builds up.Do you suffer from sluggish braking when it's wet out? Cut some grooves in the brake shoes and it'll disperse the water quickly and easily.
