1983/1984 Maico M-Star 490 Intake Manifold

Manufactured by Hot Foot Moto LLC. Intakes are made from a polyurethane material that is very durable and has some stretch to it. Air boots and intake manifolds are molded from the same material. The intake manifolds will typically last 5 years on water cooled bikes, sometimes even longer. We recommend replacing intakes at the end of every race season on air cooled bikes. The air cooled bikes run much hotter than newer models. The hotter that an engine gets, the harder it is on the intake glue that is used.

You must use a M6 socket head allen bolt for installation if the intake has polyurethane around the mounting holes. Larger hex head bolts will cut into the material.
