MZ 500 Country Rotax
« on: July 09, 2025, 07:05:59 AM »
Hi folks, it`s been a very long time since I`ve posted on here, hope you are all keeping well?

I`ve just bought a 500 Rotax engined MZ Country and waiting delivery. It`s a UK bike but I`m still here on the Isle of Man so I have to wait.

I was wondering where the best place would be to get service items? IE cambelt, filters, etc?

many thanks :-)

Morning yesir!

Shame the Southern 100 was hit by the rain t'other night. Fingers and all else crossed for tonight.

As for the Countryman spares? It was a rare bird back in the day and cycle parts won't be easy, I would suggest you have a looksee for German/Continental forums.

The Rotax motor is a rugged bit of kit. If you need parts/tuning etc. then ex-REME man at Sportax Racing is probably a good contact, here is the web site link:

Good health, Bill

Hi Bill !!!

thanks for the info, I`ll have a skeet!

Yes, the good old Manx weather stopped procedures last night but for a change the sun is shining today, and looks good for the rest of the week, so all things should go to plan for the Southern. And I`ll be able to ride to work on the little Enfield too :-)

Hi Bill,

just to let you know I contacted Sportax Racing as you recommended, at they were great, very helpful and I`ll be placing an order with them later!

Many thanks for the lead, much appreciated.  :)
