Following a biased and flawed moderator choice (someone posting aggressive personal attacks is rewarded, while my technical posts are removed - behind my back & without any justification!), I have withdrawn from this forum.

Linkage on Skorpion is different to Baghira/Mastiff one.

I will check today the measurements of the one i actually fitted and get back to you, i seem to think i had more than one attempt at getting it right(or that could have been another bike altogether!)

Hi, sorry for delay.
Its looks like it`s the upper one i fitted in the link i forwarded.
It puts the centre-line of the toe end of the lever 200mm to the centre-line of the footrest (My Beta has 190mm) fine for my size tens!

Cheers

I got in touch with the seller of the MZ/KTM some while ago to ask him about his carb mods, this was his reply -

"The new carb is for the Yamaha Raptor/Grizzly 660. It fits the existing inlet/outlet rubbers. The mixture was set using a lambda sensor to get the jetting/needle position right. The original carb + cables come with the bike, so it could easily be returned to standard. I found the old carb hard to setup, or rather, once set it would 'drift' over time and need resetting. The new carb might not give as much top-end, but that wasn't a problem for me"

Hi all I’ve just come across this thread.
I brought this bike in July 22, it’s been a pain but fun, up and running even though I’ve got a list of stuff still to do.
