Replacement ignition key

Postby Bertram » Wed Jun 24, 2015 7:23 pm

Members: Can the ignition key be replaced at a neighborhood locksmith store. Or do I need to contact a dedicated MZ vendor. Are there other brands of motorcycles that use the same key blank. Also is the Rotax engine a Type 348, if not what is its designation?

keys are zada
lots of bikes use it

and i can not get the search to work

and rotax is 504e on mz bikes
i have a 1995 saxon tour with that engine

always shut off your rotax with the compression release
then shut off the key saves the starter sprag clutch

Mz Key Blank Interchange

Did a little additional research on the key thing (hope this is the last post on it). Here's an interchange on the different bikes that use the same key as the Baghira/Mastiff. You can either source a key blank through a brand dealership or use the Ilco blank #X270-TCM1 via this list. This is just for information I got off the Ilco website. Paul
