Whats the general opinion on engine oil, its for a z1000 a2 1978, it only gets used in the summer and i was wondering if there was an advantage in using a 20w 50 semi synthetic, any thoughts greatfully accepted.

Regards phil

Thankyou

After having ridden her the upgrade to twin front brakes is a must, i have a zrx1200 and thought they were poor but in comparison they are fantastic.

Thanks for the edit and many thanks for the compliment, im pleased with her she has only done 18000 miles and runs like a sewing machine with the standard exhausts on.

Ill get me list out then And mind my p's and q's thanks for the advice very much appreciated

Resprayed, exhaust rebuilt from two donor systems the rechromed, new tyres and frame respayed blown in few electrical gremlins and a carb clean and rebuild, im really happy with her. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd316/taffus_bucket/File%2014-07-2016%2020%2058%2020_zpswngisggv.jpeg

I want to upgrade my kz1000 a2 to twin front discs, if anyone has either a right caliper or pair and anything else i may need for sale id be very grateful. Many thanks Phil

They look good but the 1000 silencers have their outer manifold down pipe welded to the silencer with down pipes 2 and 3 floating, opposite way round to the 650 and the ends are Dunstall copies so if I cut the cone off to use it, it would not match my other mint oe silencer.

So anyone got a scrap z1000 silencer I can chop the end cone off? Pretty please

That's a blow, the z1000 is 114mm diameter but same length, thanks for your help.

Thanks for the offer that would be very helpful, just the diameter where the cones are joined and the length of the end cone would be great, many thanks.

I have an exhaust silencer which needs a repair, I'm considering cutting the reverse cone off a z650 exhaust and tig welding it to my damaged exhaust then having it rechromed, any one know if the 650 cone is the same as the 1000? Or any better ideas, anyone have a lovely nos offside silencer sat doi...
