250 into a Sachs Roadster frame
2002 Sachs Roadster 125
Does anyone know if it's possible to mount a 250 Virago engine into the frame of the 125 Sachs Roadster? I was wondering if it was a case of just dropping one in. If anyone has any thoughts or experience of this i'd be happy to hear from you.

Wiring Diagram
Sachs XTC 125  4 stroke
I need a wiring diagram for my sachs xtc 125cc four stroke, the wiring is in pretty poor condition  for a 3.5 year old bike. It has the suzuki 125 cc engine and I think there is a problem on the charging circuit as the battery runs flat and the lights get brighter as you rev the engine. I tried an aftermarket regulator but when I fitted it it got very hot and started to heat up the wiring from the generator/engine.Any help, information on fixing the problem or where to get a wiring diagram from would be most appreciated. I have contacted several sachs dealers but they seam to be uninterested either can't or won't help. Thanks, Rich

Hello Tom,

yes, a few $, I can request the wholsaler about the fuel tap, the fuel hose
and the plug wire but the shipping to USA is about 15 $. Should I inquire
the price?

The bike looks like this one http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/073261/ ? This
would be a Hercules Prima in Germany.

Best regards

Georg Landmann

--------------------
Ok Tom,

I´will ask my dealer Herbert. In Germany Hercules-Sachs marketed about
200000 of this mopeds in the 80´s.

But the german cancer of bureaucracy stoped this success. To wear a helmet
become obligation and you had to take a lot of driving lessons for this 25 km/h bike.

Now the old scool bikes are back.

Georg
------------------

--------------------
You can see it also on my page: http://www.hercules-sachs.com/html/mofa.html

In Germany it´s named "mofa", Motor - Fahrrad means motor cycle, restricted
to 25 km/h. The engine is the same as yours but the cylinder have smaller ports and a
smaller caburetor.

Back light is also not expensive, a will ask about it.
--------------------
Yes Georg,  that's the one in the photo.  Mine is blue.  Neat to see a

> Tom
----------------------
Yes, I also owned one as I was 14 Years old till I was 16. Then I must have
a "Kleinkraftrad", very bad word, hihi. It is a smal motorbike, 10 HP, 80 km/h and you could take out a gril with it :-))))

Today there is a great revival in mofa - racing. It´s pity for this old
bikes, but the youth have a lot of fun to make a race and tune this smal
bikes. You can change a 80ccm cylinder with a big carburetor, less weight,
it runs up to 100 km/h.

Look this:
http://www.mofarennen-speinshart.de/2004/Rennen2004/Teams2004/Teams.htm
-------------------
Yes, they are very economical and you don´t need a car park.

The bikes were completly made in Bavaria. The engine were made by Fichtel &
Sachs (Today ZF - Trading) and the bike itself by the Hercules - Werke
Nürnberg. My friend Herbert worked for Sachs and Hercules.

Oh, 1 AM in Dachau, I must sleep.

Good beye!

Georg
---------------
With the price of fuel over there, they are economical and practical for
> some I suppose.  It's a shame everything is so restrictive nowadays.
> Too much regulation.
> The bike has been in a shed and not suprisingly the tires lost the air
> over the years, but not even dry rotted.  They pumped up just fine!
> Made in Holland they were.  I think I have 1300 miles on it?

1971 sachs country 125cc
I have a 1971 sachs country 125cc in fair condition and have no means to rebuild it, I would like to see it go to a good owner who will use it. please contact me at my e-mail address if you or someone you know would be interested in purchasing it from me at a VERY reasonable price. Thank you
----------------
I found the bike at an estate sale in lincoln,CA and had to have it. I put all the parts i found in the workshop at the estate back onto it, but was unable to find a headgasket. so i made one out of 0.030" gasket material, had the cylinder berry honed, cleaned out the fuel injector and the left side of the crankcase. it ran for about 15 seconds and blew out the headgasket. I was later told that it requires a copper headgasket and have been unable to find one.  but it did sit behind my house for about 6 months under a tarp and has some minor surface rust in the cylinder. the frame is in good shape as well as the gas tank, although one of the plastic emblems is gone and the other has a crack in it.  it looks to me like it is repairable. but I am by no means a motorcycle repairman and recently moved so it is impossible for me to keep the bike any more.&nbs! p; I would like to see it go to someone who will make it run, and take good care of it. please contact me if you have further questions.

I have a 1970 Sachs 125 Cross Country that I purchased new from the dealer that I used to work for. I do know that during that period that Sachs was a very popular engine with many manufactures.
There is a guy that I know of who had a shop in Pasadena Calif. named Eric Jenson who was a factory rider for them and very good.
The 5 speed transmissions were the weakest part of the bike as I remember. I had many problems with mine.
I am looking for parts to restore my bike if anyone has any outlets or leads on how I can find them it would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if a 1974 Tyran qualifies, but it certainly had a Sachs engine.  I have a chassis now and I am looking for parts to begin restoring this bike.  It is a 125 and I have been told that many of the Dalesman parts fit it.  I am especially in need of a seat, tank and pipe, of course an engine too, but they seem to be plentiful around these pages.  Anyone with any additional information on this bike should contact me at their earliest convenience.  --  Thank you. -- JoeyMotox at aol

I have a Sachs gearbox in which the connecting rod pulled in half. I couldn't say what year, or make it is, but i am sure it is a two stroke in around the 125 size. the rod spun around, and ruined the case halves. but the side covers, magneto, clutch, and transmission are probably in useful condition. I would get rid of it cheep to someone who could use it.   kirtlisa at gci.net

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  -- quonset at airmail.net

Attached are some pictures of my 72 DKW which I own today.

The Sachs motorcycle is a favorite of mine since I talked my dad into buying me one back in 1970. I’ve enclosed a photo of my 1969 Sachs 125 Enduro model, taken in front of my parent’s house on July 4th, 1971 in Long Beach, California. The photo shows that I stripped off all the lights (it was street-legal). Also featured on the bike is a custom exhaust by legendary cycle exhaust builder, Tom Turner. I cut-up the side case, exposing the chain sprocket. The safety gear in the photo includes the football pads on the knees.

Today, I still own two of these odd-looking dirt bikes, including a mint 1969 Sachs 125 cc Cross Country, and a well-preserved 1970 DKW 125 cc motocrosser model. Feel free to write if you have any questions. Dan Stiel  --  dan at stieldirect
