6.    Wiring harness

Due to geometrical changes, the new wiring
harness 1123 440 3002 is used in the MS 210 C

with Easy2Start. The wires in the new wiring
harness are longer.

7.    Engine housing
Due to the geometrical changes, the new engine

housing 1123 020 3027 is installed in the MS 210 C
with Easy2Start.

8.    Handlebar
Due to the wider starter mechanism, a wider

handlebar is used in order to maintain the correct
distance between the starter mechanism and
handlebar.
Handlebar 1123 791 1701 is installed in the
MS 210 C with Easy2Start.

Extracted from the manufacturer's 2012 service catalogue. Most of these PDFs embed fonts with a shifted character map, so the text above was recovered rather than copied — read it as a faithful but imperfect transcription, and treat the page image above each block as the authority where the two disagree — the figures exist only there, because they are vector drawings that text extraction cannot keep.
