important Info relating to ignition systems for MZ offroad motorcycles (GS for Gelaendesport)



pictures may be enlarged by clicking onto them

We see some significant increase in interest and demand for MZ GS motorcycles, but about every second order we get for such replacement systems is wrong. Quite often the customer has (or thinks to have) a GS chassis, but in this a normal TS or ETZ engine. There is always room for ample confusion in old motorcycles.

In the case of the MZ GS types there is additionally that:

# there have been more than one stock system used
# the customer has an offroad look alike with a normal MZ engine sold to him as an original GS.
   In very many cases however this bike has a standard TS or ETZ engine in). The market
   is full of such lookalikes. When you look at production figues of such bikes you can see that
   the scope of the present offer is somehow wrong
# also, crankshafts are with some effort interchangable and create confusion.
   With such modified engines configurations come into being which are not covered by any of our 
   existing systems. They must be dealt with individually.

Important for choosing the fitting Powerdynamo system ist not what chassis you have, but what engine and whether and if so, how this has been modified
