Hi Richard, How I understand ! I also brought home an R 24 at the beginning of 2003. Well, an R 24, say mostly an amount of rusty parts, with a rear wheel with...
Hello Jean Daniel, Thank you for your reply and some insight. I would be happy to see photos of your R24 project. I have two R25's that were in much the same...
Hi, Has anyone tried out the NASCAR Select Spin-Flow oil filter? I went to the NAPA site (I linked it below) and read a bit about them and they sound pretty...
Hi all, I am new to this group. 34 yo male from karachi, pakistan. Am already a BMW affectionado - r60/7. Have the opputunity to buy a 1960 r27 in reasonable...
Hi Andy, You should look for the same points as on another bike: - oil consumption (muffler exit hole is not black and greasy)? - general state/aspect of the...
Well, as I do use both systems (with and without battery), I stated, the spark was a bit weak (for my standards). But both bikes are OK. What about yours....
Did you carefully follow the mounting instructions? You've got a spark, hence the system is working It is very important you check there comes some gas into...
Jan, How about trying the aerosol starting fluid. It's ether based and readily available in the US. If you have trouble finding it, try a place that has Diesel...
Kim, Good idea, but I discarded it because ether is highly volatil, hence, dangerous. And if the timing is not good, it will not do anything good to the...
i checked the timing and used a spray for quickstart, but still no noise in the exhaust pipe..... Can it be that there are not enough rotations to start...
"Any one wanna buy a nice R25?" Jan don't give up, it will probably turn out to be something very simple. There is also the possibility that the MZ unit just...
Jan, ... Don't tempt me... In addition to all the excellent advice already gven: I'm not familiar with the MZ-system in particular, but if it still has a...
hi Bart, the problem is there are no points anymore with the MZ system. And the system is also rebuild for 12 V instead of 12 V to insure that there will be...
Anyone out there have a spare battery side cover and a speedometer for an R27? It's unbelievable how computer technology has made the world smaller.... I had a...
Jan, Sounds like options are running out. Certainly the suggestion of putting your points back on will help answer that question. As a diagnostic tool, check...
Hi Jan, Finally i got the time today to write here some thinks that might help you.First of all i have the MZ kit on my r 25/3 for about 1800km's now and in...
Jan, Good suggestion from Bart, as one can use the MZ-B system not complete, that is , with only the alternator. Jan, you didn't say (or I don't remember...)...
Hi Jean, I dont know yet what is happen with my battery,im useing a halogen 35/35w but at night and inside town driveing the battery goes down.Before i put the...
Hi Thomas, The alternator give its max power at (how many?) turns per minute. If you have less than this, it will give less, that's normal. Hence, at idle,...
Hi Gordini, i also did go for a complete system, also with coil, advance and electronics, even with a 12 V battery, but still no sound in the exhaust. Jan ... ...
Jan Are you absolutely sure that you have that spark ,even if it is weak, firing on the compression stroke? ... minute. ... Hence, ... a ... the ... well ... ...
the spark is firing on every stroke i thought? Not necesary the compression stroke? Everytime the piston goes round in the cylinder there is a fire i geuss?...
Jan, I can't really say that I know the MZ system. With the old points set up certainly you had a spark on each crankshaft revolution. However I'm not sure if...
There's no way that they can have eliminated the wasted spark. The setup instructions would have been far more complex. I've had to admit that when I installed...
I'll check for it, but it must be the same, as the captor is on the rotor, hence it revs with the crank => 1 spark for each revolution. JD ... I'll check for...
