I'm pretty sure that engine was made to MZs own design so you might struggle.

You may still be able to get spares for them though.

Yeah they used thier own 15bhp 4stroke engine as far as i know. It was one of the first 125cc 4stroke motards, and probably one of the first bikes to be made to produce 15bhp instead of the 12.2bhp max that all older bikes had to comply with.

Which side is the chain run on these?

Just got it a few weeks ago and the other day I was going flat out at 50 mph on a dual carraigeway when it started to slightly shudder and then slowly lost power until I had to pull over and call the AA. It was pouring down with rain so could that be a factor? It's 4 yrs old but has been kept in storage until we got it, with 800 k's on the clock. I've pushed the distance up to about 1200 k's now with going back and forth to work so it's only just run in. Is this problem something I should expect under the circumstances, or is there a possibility of a problem somewhere? I have ridden it since it broke down and it seems ok but I'm worried about going on the dual carraigeway again incase the same thing happens.
