MZ/MuZ Riders

I've been having a slight problem over the past couple of days with lack of power, the bike would not quite touch 80mph.
It reminded me of when the diapragm went on teh right hand carb some time ago. In the workshop tonight I was checking the operation of the carbs and the engine cut out completly, with a very irratic spark.
I found the wires to the 4 pin plug on the ignition unit were faulty, 3 of the four wires were broken off due to corrosion.
To stop this happening to you, I suggest you take the plug out and make sure there is planty of dielectric (MS4 or something like it, Vasaline will work to) grease to stop the water getting in and causing corrosion.
Hope this stops others suffering the same problem.

these bikes seem to not have too good of wireing

my rt125 lost the plug from the alternator to the voltage reg
last fall and i have been under the seat on the saxon tour
more than once and it is nasty to get the seat off and on yuk

check them out guys its easer to fix at home than on the road

I agree the wiring on the Baggi is not to good. One of the wires for the tail light has broken somewhere. I am going to have to remove all the panels soon and look at all connections, fillingall plugs and sockets with dielectric grease to try and prevent any further problems.

I don't blame the wiring-I blame the crappy British weather!!!

My GSX-R750 covered 200,000 miles before dying in a crash, and the only problem i ever had with it was corrosion around the wiring block connectors.
