New member + inline oil filter location query

[PhilD]

Hi,
First post. Never had an MZ before but from what I've read these models seem to be good bikes.
I've just bought a 1995 Skorpion Sport which has been standing idle for some time. Having read some of the posts here regarding oil changes etc I decided to do an oil change and general checkover on mine before i start riding it.
Changing the oil filter was fine but I'm unclear where the inline filter/strainer is located on mine. I've followed the oil feed pipe down the frame from the tank until it joins the crankcase behind the starter motor via a flat plate with an Allen key in each side. Is this the location of the inlinefilter/strainer?
Many thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil,

Just spotted this, sorry..............

You should also remove the coarse filterscreen and clean it if necessary. This is in that hefty fitting just behind the starter motor and up behind the air filter housing/battery tray. It is in the continuation of that Line leading to the fitting next to the drain plug.
