Newbie Introduction

[ThierryScorpio]

Hi MZ Riders,

My name is Thierry (Terry)...yeah dont ask its foreign.

I just bought a 2001 Skorpion Tour with 1800 miles from a guy that sells only used bikes outside of Milwaukee, WI. My other bike is a 1986 BMW K100RT that I love very much, great for long trips. THe MZ though is a blast and feels so much more lively than the Beemer in the twisties. I eventualy would like to take on the race course and take lessons (Keith Code type school). The MZ will also make a great bike for my fiance to learn to ride.

Cheers,

[phlat65]

Yeah, welcome to the cool people club!

I saw your question about oil changes--did you not get an owners' manual? I think it calls for 20w-40, but I've never seen that anywhere. I've been using 15w50 in the non-winter months. Quantity seems is 2.7 liters, but I've heard that one should use less.

Other MZ resources are the Yahoo group MZOG, as well as the German language http://www.mzskorpion.de If nothing else, you can look up the MZ links they have listed there.

I had my bike out at Loudon, New Hampshire on Monday:

I use 10W40 all year round in the UK. Semi-synthetic, but understand that some members of this forum use fully synh with good results.
