1996 MZ ETZ 251 Saxon Tour review from Denmark
"A cheap and fun ride"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Ignition was busted when I bought it. It was changed with another after-market I harvested from my other MZ. It started after 1 hours work.
Lubbed all possible spots, and changed the tires for winter use, and that's it.
Dirt in the choking device cost me half an hours work.
General comments?
Cheap as hell. Got it for $430, and made the above mentioned fix on it, and changed the fluids.
It has the original battery that still lives, since it's a kick starter.
It wheelies easily giving throttle and fiddling the clutch, and is fast enough for commuting.
The plugs is the only issue, but that is just me being cheap.
