The regulations for 2002 season are used as a guideline. It is not intended as a tuning reference so the settings and timings are for example only, but are mostly workable – I have to say that because mistakes can be very expensive in this game! Some definitive theory books are listed at the end. The MZ formula is simple - basically stock carburettor, stock exhaust header and diffuser cone, max diameter of expansion chamber no more than stock, and clutch must be crank- mounted as stock. Other standard parts specified, like barrel, head, cases, frame etc. but some parts are ‘open’ eg wheels, brakes and tyres. Engine Bottom end Crank stays more or less standard - some people lighten and rebalance the crank wheels but it is lots of work for little gain in this class. The best place to spend the effort is making sure it gets assembled properly, perfectly true and check it for out-of-round. Bigend needs to be replaced with a silver plated cage type for racing (£20), to a conrod that has been checked for damage. The standard (original MZ) rod has proved perfectly reliable, but the crankwheels can be modified to accept a japanese rod and bearing kit which some pr
