TS 150 Gear Oil

Postby Javelina Kid » Mon May 12, 2008 1:43 pm

I am working on getting a 74 TS150 back into rideable shape for my son. I don't have service manual to check, but am wondering what the recommended oil is and how much should be added for this bike.

Hello!

450 cm3 oil SAE 80 EP ( for transmision and gearbox), also ok SAE 90 EP or 80W90 EP if you don´t found SAE 80.

Don´t fill with engine car oil, you clutch can slip.

Un saludo, Manuel.

Como ha dicho Manumensa por el olio.

0.45l of gear oil (MZ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS)

There are two drain plugs, both on the lefthand/kickstart side. The oil level/casing screw is the one below the kickstart/gearchange shaft (Haynes book of Lies).

I had a TS150, a classic machine!

Best wishes to riders and motocheros everywhere!
