Does your MZ smell?? Laughing

My MZ has a certain smell to it that is unlike any other vehicle I've ever been near.

I'm not sure what it is but theres a certain "MZ smell" !!

Never got a whiff of another Z so I'm relying on you fellow owners to report back!

Its an oily smell that you get whenever you work on an MZ, from setting the points to draining the oil.... the MZ smell is there!! Shocked

A blend of stale 2-stroke and EP90 gear oil?

That's what my Jawa smells of.

Ah yes maybe its the EP....

Does your gearbox oil emulsify very quickly? My MZ will go from fresh oil to a lovely creamy complexion in about 250 miles Sad

I think its most likely to be water ingress down the silly clutch cable mechanism that MZ's have (it also leaks oil too!!)

Yep, my MZ smells of MZ, with a dash of petrol (I have a leaky fuel tap).

I've also decided I hate the fact that it won't start without a battery.
