I’ve recently bought a TS250 which looks to be in very nice condition. Unfortunatey the dynamo appears to be no good. I’ve had a lot of help from Roy Johns who came over with spares and we managed to a working dynamo of sorts. We both thought the best permanent solution would be a 12 volt complete system.

I’m aware of two systems, Tezet and Vape. Has anybody had any experience with either and can give me advice on the best system taking into account the costs. many thanks. Paul  Hague.

I am looking to get an MZ prefer a 150/250 ts or would now consider an etz. I am down in darkest Cornwall

November 2024 issue has an article that might interest some for an afternoon read, our technical rep Roy Johns is featured along with his ETZ 250, Roy was a great source of mechanical knowledge when I rebuilt my ETZ 250 engine before lock down, good on you Roy and a good article.

Greetings all, it’s my pleasure to inform that Krampus Treffen 2024 will be all systems go on 6/7/8 December.

New site this year near Lymm in Cheshire.

However as in previous years due to the peculiarities of the site pre booking is necessary.

25 people max. Please book with me via email

bynnsi@ gmail.com

I shall send directions about a week before blast off.

The Site is located on a private farm, and camping fees are a donation to charity.

There will be a caterer on site doing good quality food ( not a burger van) The food to be paid for when ordering.

There is a pub in walking distance but beer will be available on site. Recommended £1 pint ( bring a vessel) on an honesty bar.

Tea and coffee also available, possibly bisquits.

Its a basic site with only one bog and no showers, so timing is everything.

There will be a marquee on site with a brazier for folk to thaw out/ gather round to talk nonsense.

If you are able to play an accordion or recorder please bring them along as we may run out of logs.

I have a persistent oil seepage from the bottom of the engine that runs down the front bracket fixing the exhaust pipe. Not serious and has been happening a long time but where is it coming from? Looks like gear oil.

howdo chums, for those who have forgotten it is the club AGM this weekend. The meeting will be in the pub function room on Saturday about 1 pm, and we have the room for the evening. Details of the venue are in this post. The campsite is reserved for Mz ers so don’t be shy. I have booked reasonable weather, and the views are fantastic.

what could be better than camping behind a pub in Yorkshire?

The landlady has laid in extra beer!

be there or be elsewhere!

Hi can anyone give me the correct distance eye to eye for the rear shocks on my ETS 250 TIA Darren

Greetings chums

jusust a reminder that the AGM is looming in wonderfull deepest Yorkshire.

had a ride out to the venue today in the sunshine, it was fantabulous.

Angie the landlady says that the rooms are booking up. So if you are wanting bed & breakfast get in touch sooner rather than later.

no need to book for camping.

there will be someone on site from Thursday if anybod has the urge to tip up early.

Contact details for the pub are in the photo

Can anyone recommend gear oil for a 1990 ETZ251? I have a choice of Silkolene Super4 (4 stroke oil) SAE10W/40, or Mobil Mobilube 1 SHC fully synthetic gear oil SAE 75W-90. I have drained off the old oil and want to ensure an appropriate replacement.
