Title: DKW/Sachs
Post by: Mike52 on July 26, 2012, 07:00:25 pm
Just scored a cute little DKW 125mx with a Sachs engine.
Questions
Where is the engine number?
How can you tell a "A" model engine from a "B" [ has an electronic motoplat fitted.]
How do you tell the year of manfu ?
Best place for engine parts , conrod/piston.
Cheers

I had a shed full of  DKW Sachs Scramblers and Enduro bikes no one wanted them , new barrels and heads, thousand of dollars worth of parts., I could find the fellow that got it all off me,. I will try and find his number if you want it.

Alan Breuhner in USA is the gentleman to get Sachs parts from. PM me if you can't locate from web. Reliable and has extensive range. There is also a gentleman at Tamborine Village who also has a vast knowledge in Sachs motor building. I'm about to list a 73Wassell 125 for sale, all original and a good goer. Also have 2 B type motors which are the enduro/trials base while A motors were mx. all at  very realistic prices

The early "A" series motors were in the first Penton bikes..wasn't just restrictred to enduro / trials..they were also 5 speed whilst the later "B" designation was 6 speed. tho both had ten neutrals.. also different size flywheels from a to b... try the Penton Owners Group on the www it has a section on the "message board" which has discussion and parts for sale / wanted..
