I’m at an impasse with fitting the Tezet system to my Supa 5, I’ve followed the instructions to the letter but the first test without the Regulator/rectifier fitted is not giving a spark. Sensor clearance is spot on. I don’t really understand where, in the above setup it’s recieving power from?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the input Derek, I think I’ll try 45:1 and lower revs for the next 500 miles. I was out on it earlier today and it sounds and feels very good.

Hi Keith, I’m not a world expert on MZs but I do know, from experience, that it’s easy to get blindsided by the obvious when you’ve spent a lot of time on a project.
Whereabouts are you, can you ask another member to come and look through the bike? If you’re anywhere near Devon, I volunteer myself!

I can vouch for Malcolm’s approach which I’ve applied to my TS250/1 – that and the addition of a Venhill cable has resulted in a very powerful front brake.

Hi Gerry, 40 years is quite a while! How much would you like for them, including postage to Devon?

Much appreciated Brian, I’m off out to the garage to do some measuring. I’ll let you know how I get on.

Hi Brian and thanks for the reply. If you could find time to measure up the bars I’d really appreciate it.

Also, can anybody tell me how much higher the high bars are than the standard flats?

I’ve had a look at the Mitas tyres and I think I’m going to have to go to an 18″ rim, I want to compete in the MCC Lands End Trial and have to be road legal.

Thanks for the tip Max. We’ll need to meet up before too long for a spin through Devon!

Hi Peter,
thanks for the very kind offer; I’ll take you up on it if that’s ok?
I’m just East of Exeter so not a million miles away – I’ll get in touch and arrange something in the new year.
Regards,
James

Hi Mike, I’ve still not solved this to my satisfaction, I’ve raised the seat with spacers as suggested by Malcolm but still feel the footrests could be lowered an inch or so – time to find a friendly welder nearby!
