mz ts 150 revs up on right lock

[fletty]

The design feature where the revs rise on right lock ,ie at traffic lights ,has just failed the mot on me and the tester wont budge from dvsa rules that say no increase of revs are allowed ,help please.

Adjust/re-route the throttle cable so it doesn't do it.

Could be a short cable fitted.

[fletty]

its a design feature according to the handbook .why I dont know ,but got a new cable ordered that Ill oil well before its fitted so fingers crossed

[andys675]

adjust the cable so its that its really slack for the mot and then tighten it back up afterwards?

exactly what I thought when I was told ,but its in the handbook as just that .it revs up a bit when stopped at junctions ect , as the normal tickover is not good

A reply from the mz club reads ,a ts125/150 tickover has to be set by adjusting the free play out of the throttle cable ,due to lack of a throttle stop screw ,done in the straight ahead position ,then you will find bars moved to left slows tickover .moving to the right speeds up tickover usefull if you dont want to blip the throttle at traffic lights ect ,this is a design feature you will find documented in the user manual .it works like a charm though why is a bit of a mystery,

I still find it funny that a design flaw that causes the bike to fail MOTs is classed as feature in Soviet Germany...
