Started so easily nice looking bike and built to last . Had two NSU's back in the 70's (N and L or was it N and S ? ) memory fading a bit now! I remember them being ultra reliable, excellent mpg and fun to ride. Other than the odd plug and gear oil change never needed anything major. Happy days!
Thanks for looking. The models were N and S I think. N was basic and S had more enclosed mudguards, both were two speed and as you said a decent machine to get people around without costing much to run. My first restoration in the mid 1970s was a 3 speed Quickly, rebuilt in best friends fathers garage. We skimmed the head with glass sheet and grinding paste and re sprayed it with aerosols from local car accessory shop in closest colours we could find. It kept going for a year until we could move on to a bigger bike. Great times and probably not something the current generation of teenagers would dream of doing.
hi Classic Rider i have myself a NSU Quickly S, and the Start works without pressing the decompremission button first. Once I read the same thing that you have done in the Video in a handbook of my Quickly. Why do I have to do this? is it better for the engine?
Well with compression released its easy to turn through. On the other hand, if the zylinder is flooded somehow with fuel, its POSSIBLE to crack the crank. So I heard from someone destroyed it this way.

That,s good just shame sound was a little off . I,m starting restoring same model soon .
This brings back memories I had an Nsu Quickly back in 1976 which I bought for £12. 👍
Thanks for watching and enjoying, unfortunately prices are considerably higher now!
Such a beautiful machine.
Thanks for info. It was a shame about the noisy location but I think I got the picture.
Glad it was of some use, I made the video a long time ago and just recorded it on a phone but it seems to have helped a few owners.

Great memories, wish I had one now.
Yes, it took me back to being 16 again in the 1970s. Happy times.
