Greetings all. I find myself in need of a bench seat for a super5. Anyone got one they need rid of?

Howdo cats n kittens.

just a reminder for any masochists out there who are missing their fix of winter camping.

The Yorkshire section winter camp is go. We shall be gathered at Howstean gorge campsite Lofthouse, Pately Bridge HG35SF on the weekend starting 19 January.

For those who don’t know the site is nestled in little Switzerland Nidderdale Yorkshire. There are 2 pubs within walking distance. The top Crown high on a hill, the bottom Crown a leisurely level walk. Both do hearty food and good beer.

There is also a cafe on site and superb facilities

Not to mention some of the best riding roads in the U.K.!

Just tip up!

any more info please text me on 07980837005

Does anyone have instructions for ignition timing of Tezet unit on TS125 or is it preset by Manufacturer?

I was wondering if I have the correct fuses in mine. I think but not sure they should be 16amp each. The positive is an 8 and the negative is a blue one, not marked, but guessing it’s a 10. I’m not blowing any fuse but am having some issues.

Just joined, glad to be aboard. I’m in the States, so finding one here not so easy. Prices for the TS250 running around $5K and above. I’ve found a very sweet TS150, ’74 model with 39 miles showing and asking price is $2900, and am seriously considering it over a 250. I ride very small back roads, if I get on the highway it’s for very brief periods, maybe a mile or two so really don’t need the power. Reliability and durability are more important than performance. Is the 150 just as smooth as the 250? Is the engine rubber mounted like the 250? Many thanks for any help. Jay

Did I read somewhere that it’s possible to change Supa5 crank seals without removing the engine or splitting the crankcase?

if so, are there any special tools required to do this?

thanks!

I need to replace the home made seat on my etz250. The seat is as comfortable as a plank with fish hooks attached. I have a big trip planned and would like to be able to walk when I get home.

does anybod have a seat I could buy?

I’m looking for new tyres for my super 5 original size would be 2.75 x 18 front and 3.50 x 16 rear, not an easy combination to get a matched pair it appears.

Has anybody used Mitas H-06 which are available in the correct size?

Has anybody used the slightly larger 3.00 x 18 on the front and does it fit OK? If so I can get the Michelin City Pro pair?

other tyre option suggestions welcomed

Thanks, Andy

Good evening everyone!

I have tried to find (sadly without success!) the above mentioned item. Does anyone have one they’d be willing to part with (sell)?

Kind regards, Neil Wisbeach

Morning all, has anyone had experience trying to fit a Honda TLS hub into a standard MZ 18 inch wheel rim? Can it work or not?

Obviously the straight pull spokes for the standard MZ hub leave the rim at a different angle to the spokes for the Honda hub but I would like to know if there is enough play in the rim holes to allow the Honda spoke pattern, or can the MZ rim be redrilled to allow it to work?

any pointers welcome before I cut out my existing MZ hub, I may need a new rim to make it work but hopefully not.

Thanks, Andy

Looking for some advice from the forum. I’ve been bothered by an increasing level of excess smoke from my etz 250 ( 1984 19k miles) but with no other running issues and no obvious cause.However upon checking the gear oil level yesterday I find most of it gone.It appears that I’ve been burning up the gear oil along with the 2t.Could this be anything other than Crankcase oil seal failure? My mechanical experience to date is confined to Top end and forks etc- is it a big Job? Can it be done with the motor in situ, do I need to split the engine? What about tools required?I’ve rooted around the web and got some conflicting info.Any help is really appreciated.Greta Thunberg would not approve the current situation!Thanks
