    Michael, I think you can still buy them from the club. click on the “Regalia” heading at the top of the web page then on the first heading which includes a reference to Hints and Tips.

    Hope this helps

    Sorry can’t offer any advice on that one Keith, adjusting the end float into tolerance sorted my clutch noise which was at its worse when the clutch lever was pulled in. It would appear you have a different issue to explore

    You can shim the crank end float with the engine in the bike easy enough. You need to set up a dial gauge to measure how much end float there is and then measure the shim you have and get a thicker shim to “correct” the end float back into tolerance. I had a nose which was worse when I pulled the clutch lever in indicated excess end float was causing the primary drive gears not to mesh cleanly. The MZ manual is easy enough to follow if you have access to the right tools to measure the end float and existing shim and to remove the clutch.

    I’m not sure but believe a more consistent “gearbox noise” may be because the primary gear itself needs shimming but I haven’t done that job, my noise was resolved when I got the crank end float in tolerance.

    If you haven’t got access to an MZ manual I could email an extract to cover shimming the end float

    Hope that helps
