Gearbox takes 1l of oil when totally drained. Lots of different ideas on the best oil, but a lot of people go for Silkolene Light gear oil-When draining the gearbox Do not remove the wrong plug! The one you need to remove is the one nearest the exhaust, not the one nearest the gear lever. You also want to remove the lower clutch cover fastening screw.
Forks take 250ml of oil each, 10W fork oil ( or whatever you have available!) . Draining the oil is a bit of a bind as MZ didn't bother with a drain screw. So you need to take the legs out and turn them upside down. The top nut may be very very tight. A close fitting socket, breaker bar and possibly an old fork stanchion to give extra leverage may be required. If you are luckily someone has already done this once before and broken the sealing material MZ used.
Easiest way to stiffen up the forks is to get a pile of 2p's. Start with 4p a leg and work up, depending on weight!
