Das MZ Forum für MZ Fahrer

The MZ is nimble and doesn't
require much input on the bars or very much
lean to negotiate many turns, even hairpins.

Running new Headenau tires, proper size. ..........
........how low can you go ?? Do any of you scrape the foot pegs ?

After much searching in Missoura I have found some curves( ! )

Hi Michael,

you can go as low as you want. Or, to be exactly, as low low as you dare.

Scraping the footpegs is possible, on the right side the exhaust is scraping first (at least at my ES250).

For some really nice curves you should consider doing your holidays in the Alps. You'll never want to go home again...

Technically with normal street tyres there is about 42 degrees possible.
But normalley scraping some parts of the MZ is coming sooner...

Ok then, I'll get my protractor and an assistant,
and see how she looms with an uncompressed
suspension, leaned over about 40°…
At that angle she should cut a pretty tight radius.
