Oi oi chums

This plague thing has hit again, after 15 years meeting in the Marsh in Cleck the new regime for  entry/ meeting has forced us to find a new venue. Whether this is a temporary move or not is for the future to tell us.

We held the section AGM at Ponden Mill cafe Stanbury on Sunday and it was decided that for the foreseeable the section meetings will be held here. Same pack drill just a different location.

Second Sunday of the Month from 12.30

Any peripatetic meetings in warmer weather will be notified to the masses.

Greetings chums.

the Yorkshire section meeting for September will be held at Ponden Mill cafe, Stanbury near Haworth.

from 12.30

the cafe is opening specially for us, sadly there will be no hot food available but scones have been promised to soak up the copious amounts of tea and coffee.

There will be a run out to the meeting starting at 10 am from the Brown Cow in Bingley. The route is dependant on who arrives but will be small roads and possibly some easy off road sections.

If you like travelling faster than an Es150 please plan your own route and meet us at the cafe.

Just a quick note to those which have bikes with MOTs expiring soon, or have expired recently. MOT’s are no longer being extended by 6 months. It only ran for MOTs expiring between 30th March and 31st July

I only just realised this today, as my car runs out on Friday . Just thought I’d post here, to make sure no one makes the same mistake!

Hi all,

just finished rebuilding my TS and got it MOT’d today.

I put around 50 miles on it after the test and noticed a slight weave/bar oscillation.  This occurred below 35mph and was relatively high frequency but limited movement of the handlebar.  Above 40, it disappeared.

Is this normal?

apologies if this is in the wrong category but I can’t work out how to post it in two stroke help!

ps, I’ll post photo of the finished bike – very happy with it.

cheers

Weather permitting we hope to have an unofficial section meeting in the car park of the Eagle & Child pub on the first Sunday of July (5th). It will be just an excuse for a bit of a catch up and to see how everyone is. It is possible that the pub will be open but we won’t know till we get there.

I have received an message from a Jon Jackson of Lancaster who has just bought a 1974 ES 250. The engine has a rumble on the left hand side which more or less disappears when the clutch is pulled in. The seller said that it was the clutch bearing but Jon thinks it could be the main bearing. He is looking for someone, hopefully in the north of England who can rebuild the engine as he is hoping to do some European touring on it. Jon is not a club member at the moment but intends to join if he can sort out the engine. If anyone can help he can be contacted via me.               Thanks

Forgot to mention – does anyone know where they (CDI) can be bought or repaired – thanks

Help, sick scorpion traveller, runs for 3 miles and dies, carbs etc all sorted – down to electrics, replaced coil, plug, lead cap, tried a preloved cdi and runs smooth but gets too hot – gold exhaust etc. I’ve been fed all sorts from www, they are year/model specific etc etc.

Does anyone have one for sale or that I could borrow, already run up a huge bill on parts alone, dread to think of how much I owe the mechanic – thanks

Hello all,

I am a new member of the club, after purchasing a 1962 MZ ES250/1 requiring a little bit of fettling (ha ha!). I am going to try to get the engine running first of all, but on closer inspection the wiring is a bit of a mess but more importantly the regulator is missing, so there is a bit of work to be done to get it to the start up stage. To this end is there anyone out there with a good used regulator for sale? As I am new to all things MZ any advice/suggestions gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Kevin Stone.

Hi there,

I’m continuing with sorting out a few niggles with my TS250, one of which is an overly soft front end (in my opinion).

Any advice on oil weight/spec/volume required to stiffen it up a bit?  With riding gear and luggage, probably looking at 100kg ……just me, no passenger.

also, anyone got a hybrid front brake cable (MZ lever to CB350 TLS brake)?

cheers

How do puppies hope everybod is keeping well.
Just had a gazebo donated to the section. That’s 2 we have now. I know that no bod will be planning functions at the minute but any one who wants to borrow one is welcome. Just get in touch with me.
