Brief History of the Marque: DKW
J. S. Rasmussen founded Motorenwerke Rasmussen
in Zschopau, Germany in 1906, and entered the motorcycle manufacture
with a bicycle motor in 1921. The name DKW was trademarked in 1922 and
the firm went on to become one of the largest manufacturers of motorcycles
in the world.. By 1928 they were building some 65,000 engine units annually,
and DKW engines could be found powering some 60 German marques of the interwar
period.
They joined Audi, Wanderer and Horch to form
Auto Union in the 1930s, merging again in the 1950s with Victoria and Express
to form Zweirad-Union, which in turn was absorbed by Sachs in 1965.
DKW motorcycles employed mostly two-stroke engines and often were technically
advanced.
Marques which employed DKW power units include Diamant
and Hercules.

Ich haben eine fragen, kennt jemand ob Sie DKW / IFA R125 mit Fahrgestell
von der IFA hergestellt und der Motor einer DKW, Ich könnte mich das
vorstellen, dass nach dem Krieg in Zschopau, die in Ost-Deutschland liegen
kamen, hatten viele Motoren aber keine Fahrgestell und hat dann einer Hybrid
gemacht, ich kann mich das nicht vorstellen aber wer weiß, das ist
vielleicht denkbar.
Fahrgestell ist ein R 125 mit IFA Fahrgestell Nummer 779783 und der
Motor DKW DKW ist mit der Nummer 46115395, wird jemanden etwas über

How much are they worth?
DKW Auto Union RT 125
Hi.. I have a 1956 DKW which I am selling because I am moving away
from Bali. For what it is and time that it has been around and health of
it, I can safely say that it is in perfect condition. I ride it every other
evening to dinner at restaurant near my place and every weekend to the
Sunday market.
What has been difficult for me when trying to sell this bike is, how
much is it worth now? How much can I sell it for? I do not want to sell
it just to make a sale. I wanna sell it to somebody who would give care
to it.So what is a fair price for this old timer? I still have it's original
papers and registration, though it is registered in Indonesia.

Thanks & Cheers, Frank Van Ruth

.............
All I can say is that this particular bike is a water cooled three
cylinder
250cc two-stroke, I think that the third cylinder acted as a compressor,
this bike was a 1948 factory built road racer, very fast for its time,
it
could beat 500cc bikes any time, the spelling is correct as far as
I
remember. I have no images just fond memories.

Hi, I'd like to show you my long-mile DKW RT125 ( but I'd like to call
her brand with "Audi"), with (i think) NSU fork & rims, harley lamp
and fully equipped with accesories from the street we crossed.her name
is Cempluk ( cute),she's the smallest ratbike motor in Indonesia.We've
been thru so many moments together.Now she's sleeping for a while, waiting
for me to come back from work, in the jungle.eu amo te Cempluk,,,peace
Jakarta, Indonesia
....
I don't like new shiny paint on my bike. Healthy engine & tranny,
good wheels ( & brakes ) and strong frame is the most important thing
to maintenance, in order to keep the bike runs well daily. Any parts on
my bike has it original paint and list, except for the rims. Even if I
need to paint my bike, I would rather to use brush than spray gun.
My brother has just finished my other bike. I use more than 5 brands
of bikes ( with different year ) to become 1 complete bike. It's not only
because not too easy to find British classic bike parts in Indonesia but
also I like to be different. He sent me her picture ( attached ) couples
weeks ago. And he said the bike is running well right now.
And I still have a 1954 AJS 350 project to do,,,
Keep on riding :-)

DKW nz350 clutch adjustment.
Hi,I am a DKW fanatic from Australia. Can anyone out there in DKW land
tell me what the clutch spring adjustment is for a DKW nz350.
I imagine the spring plates would be set to a specific height.
A friend told me that the workshop manual states that the spring tension
should be even but makes no mention of tension so that one would not know
if the tension was too tight or too loose.
Best regards,Ron.

message: I used to race Sachs motorcycles, later known as DKW's, in
the deserts of California, as well as Nevada, Baja, etc. from 1969 through
about 1976, eventually holding a low double-digit AMA numberplate. While
working in a motorcycle shop, I became a DKW franchise. As I recall, this
took only about $2400 U.S., which got us 4 bikes, a bunch of spare parts,
promo. banners, etc. They were well known in the desert circles for their
toughness, and handling, with the leading-link front end.. In fact other
people were manufacturing linkage front ends for desert racing which were
fitted to everything from Hodaka's to Triumph's. In any case, I still have
a boxful of brand new parts from that time, which are for sale. They are
smaller-sized things (no gastanks, fenders, etc.) like a complete transmission
gear set, shifter parts, shims, engine gaskets, cables, and many various
other parts.

Sir:
I have enclosed a copy of my 1972 DKW Enduro for your use on the web
site.
A couple of notes, the two sources of parts you list:
* Uli's
* DKW-Geyer
only pertain to pre 1965 DKW's. For Sachs, Hercules and DKW parts (and
sometimes services) in the US include:
* The Penton Man (Larry Perkins) at 417.865.8884 and
* Al Buehner (Buehner Supply Co.) 216.651.6559
Additionally, a group of vintage ISDT/E owners & enthusiasts daily
discuss these and many other bikes of this vintage and style on "Vinduro:"

DKW ended with motorcycle production in autumn 1958. The trademark
'DKW' is still hold by AUDI AG, but as I got as an information from AUDI
AG some days ago, they do not plan to reactivate this name to built motorcycles.

Good morning,
I thought that some of your readers would like to see a great example
of a 1970 125 DKW. My brother has had it for many years and has always
kept it in pristine shape. He has all of the manuals and an extra tank.
IT has the Motoplat CD ignition. Thanks for viewing.

Hi
I am a long distance driver with a DKW RT3PS'38. With that model,
in '37 the Dutch team did win in the125 category with that small 98cc.
Now I have contact with Mr SJ de Vries from the Nedelands who did build
a very good replica of that Dutch machine.
In the Nederlands there is also Mr RT Posthumus who did build a beautiful
replica of a commercial Silver model. I have also contacts with Familie
Quinzel,from Germany who did build a nice German replica.
Mr Sammy Miller did bring me in contact with Mr Ralph Venables, who
was there in 1937 and who did send me a copy of the 1937 list of entries
of that Six Days!!!!
Now I am asking if somebody could help me for some more information
about that Dutch team?

I am not an expert but I remember seeing many Sachs engine two strokes
in Vietnam in the mid 60s. These were mopeds and small displacement
bikes. The scooter and 3 wheel market was dominated by Vespa &
Lambretta. Honda dominates now.
It appeared to me that the mopeds were made locally or for local consumption
and fitted with Sachs engines. Some of the mopeds or small bikes
were painted in garish colors like yellow and purple. They had flared
fenders on them. The color schemes and styling appealed greatly to
older Vietnamese. These bikes were terrific in reliability. Breakdowns
in that country are a lot moredangerous than Europe.
They also had a DKW (same company, I think) fan cooled engine later
on. The fan cooling was a big deal in that climate. I understand
that Sachs sold a lot of their engines to other companies. I thought
some were marked JBE SACHS but I am not sure.
The Vietnamese were very status conscious as we yanks are. They
would push the bikes for miles in tropical heat to save fuel and then drive
it through the village where everyone could see them. It reminded
me of motorcycle poseurs here in the US. The teenager boys would
get the family moped and try to pick up girls. Some things never change.

Wow, sure glad I found this site. Great to see other Sach/DKW
fans. I raced these machines back in the late 60's and early 70's,
in S. California. Did quite well on them at that. Just recently I
acquired a 1972 DKW 125 6B with a spare 5A engine, two frames (older ones),
pretty much complete. Most of the frame parts, I don't think I'll
ever need.
So, if anyone has a need for for a frame part, wheel hubs, rims (a little
rusty, just for shipping costs), let me know, and there yours. I'd
hate to throw them away. I have a parts book, if anyone needs part
numbers. I'm looking for sources for engine (rings) parts, if anyone
has a source, let me know. I'm searching the entire world for goodies.
What I find I'll share with with all. The wife is from Germany, so
I can have some items (small) picked up over there, she goes every year.
I would like to see the Sachs/DKW back in the lime lite again (Vintage
Racing), thinking about it myself. Maybe, that these old bones won't
handle it. If any one has a problem or question, I'll search the
old memory for an answer or try and figure it out for you or find an answer.

Here's a picture of my '71 DKW 125 I recently purchased in California.
I had been searching for about a year and was contacted by a nice guy who
had one in his garage and let it go for $800. I have several vintage
CZ-mxers, I race in local and AHRMAevents
in the great Northwest. This model of DKW was my first dirtbike,
I was 14 years old. It represents 3- testosterone building years
of my youth, helped keep me out of trouble, taught me some mechanics, and
allowed me to join the ranks of offroad motorcyclist where I grew up in
Santa Fe, NM. The DKW wasn't the fastest, wasn't the prettiest, but its
unique design always brought the girls over for another look. As I tell
my wife of 25 years....."the DKW was my first love!"

Info on Sachs 100-125 found in Germany
Hi All-
Just thought you guys might be interested in a RARE info found in Schweinfurt,
Germany where Sachs were made. These old pages were evidently part of a
master mechanic at the factory and I have never seen these addendums to
the factory service manual anywhere before.
Very informative information on engine, transmission, electrical and
suspension- Although not many pages it has ALL specs for major engine rebuilding
and tolerances.
e-mail to find out more. Sachs engines were also used in DKW, Dalesman,
Hercules, Monark, Rupp, Penton, Saracen, Speedway, Sprite and tyran motorcycles.

In the early 1970s I owned a 71 Sachs Boondocker and following year
a 72 Sachs/DKW 125 Enduro. I always thought they were a great little
bike, always running w/ the best in their class of the day. My friends
were all riding Pentons,
Jawas,
Maicos
and of course the spectrum of rice burners. Mention of water around Some
of these bikes and they would belly up but the Sachs and DKW were submarines
and could swim with the fish. The Earls front suspension was superb to
any telescopic fork Id ever ridden, handling was Ace in the sand.
The Sachs engine was cursed with and awful shifting problem. (just when
you were pulling away from an opponent or got the hole shot off the start,
the mid shift curse would occur. Your RPMs would scream through the
roof an everyone would blast by you leaving you in their dust, eating their
dirt. Well that was the worst experience I had with these bikes.
I always thought they made a much better Enduro racer than Motocrosser.
All in all these were great bikes that ran with the best of them in the
early 70s and have gone forgotten for many years. Its good to see people
are finding a new interest in them. -- Ed Hall, Texas, USA

I have a 1971 DKW 125cc Moto Cross bike (and manual). I race the bike
from 71 to 73 when the jap bikes really started to come on strong in Moto
Cross. I also have a 1971 copy of Dirt Bike Magazine featuring the Deek
as they call it. In 1970 and 1971 the little 125 DKW's were winning most
of the big races such as the Baja 1000 the Mint 400 and many other races.
Their leading link front suspension made the bike really stand out in a
crowd. If you have any further interest let me know. jswindle at msn

I have a small metal toolbox 17X7.5cm and 12.5cm high. It is
painted green and has Werkzeug stenciled on the to and front. It
has a neat spring activated clasp for the lid plus a ring riveted on the
front. It came with 3 wrenches designed to handle various sizes of
hex nuts, two spanner wrenches, and something like a forked screwdriver.
They are all marked Auto-Union Werk DKW Zschopau and on the opposite side
H. I was told they were from W.W.II but I know very little else. They look
like motorcycle tools. I'd like to know what I have and what they might
be worth. -- Thanks, -- Wes --
