MZ/MuZ Riders

Anyone out there who could help me get hold of a working speedo suitable for a super 5 and marked in KPH please. I'm also on the hunt for a headlight glass which dips to the right, I have a post Pandemic European trip in mind and would like to be able to set my bike up correctly.

Hi,

That sounds like expensive modifications if doing properly.

As puffs has said, it seems there is a gearing issue with the clocks, and not just a counter change will work.??

Even if 70 at 12 o' clock on a kph is pretty much the same as 40 at 12 o' clock on a mph clock.. Not sure how it works fully- as not tried, only Puffs has to my knowledge - and it didn't seem to work for him.


Chepeast way would be to put selotape on the lens- lenses themselves would be expensive.


All this aside though, the countless times I've been abroad i've never changed anything on the car or bike (inc MZ) but put a gb sticker on the back... I never thought i'd say this, but mentally converting kph to mph was quick and easy after no time at all. 50kph>30mph, 70kph>40mph, 90kph>50mph. Give or take a few mph, of course the gauges could be off a little anyway.


Where do you plan on going?

electric GPS boat speedometers work great
we use them in the king midget car i own
and cars where the original speedometer is sick

most can be set to your km or mph choice
most read to 60 mph a few to 80 mph
and powered with a battery pack
i use the battery from a Ryobi 12volt drill

Various smartphone apps?

All Ts engines revolve at the same rate no matter what market they end up in. So use your rev counter as a speedo (suitably Marked, contact a rider with a Km type Ts speedo) or other motorists, a picket fence, outside lighting poles. Or just guess. Maybe measure potholes per Kilometer Sorry, if this is as much use as a chocolate frying pan, I applogise profoundly.
