| As far as the low RPM "judders" with the stock gearing.....just remember that switching from a 17/43 combo to something like a 16/45 combo will eliminate that issue. Transforms the bike IMO...... going thru the gears while accelerating hard never drops the rpms out of the MZ's impressive torque band, so it obviously compliments the trans gear ratios. And that combo enables you to use the original Regina 108 link chain, which is good....saves you some considerable $$$. I did'nt like the "shaking" either...could'nt go down my gravel driveway in first without pulling in the clutch occasionally to keep from going too fast...... so that was the first thing that got changed. And you still can hit 130+ mph if you really need to! Don't let the shakes be the determining factor...It's an easy and cheap cure. |
