Thanks to everyone who posted advice on this problem. A mate of mine who has worked in a motorcycle garage came and checked out the carbs and much to my shame I still had a blocked jet on pot 1 but biggest problem was I had not set the float heights correctly, rookie mistake. Bikes now running well ...

Thanks for the reply's I'll check the compression and valves over the next couple of weeks

Hi folks I have a strange problem with my 1976 z900 A4 I have hardly used her in the last 12 months and she has started running very hot on pots 3&4. From start up on choke the exhaust down pipes are too hot to touch within a minute and the barrels are hotter on 3&4 but pots 1&2 are fine...

Hi all, my z900 a4 has spent most of the last two years in the garage and the carbs are all over the place. Is there anywhere in the Bristol area I can get them cleaned and rebuilt?

Shipping was £7.50 had to be signed for delivery although the courier just left it on my doorstep, it was really well packed though. I've attached a before and after...

Thanks for the info, appreciate touching up not a great idea but I've got a 3/4" scratch on the side panel near the seat and I don't want to get a panel done then need the rest of her sprayed. I'll see a man locally to see if he can match my shade of green

Hi guys thanks for the comments. I'm split on the tax disc holder not pretty I agree but nostalgic, maybe

A picture of my 1976 A4 imported from the states in 2012. She's not mint but she's not a monger either

Hi all, does anyone know where/if I can purchase a touch up paint for my 1976 KZ900 in diamond dark green I only need a small amount. I caught the petrol tap on the side panel when refitting the tank the other day. Yes pretty stupid I agree

Hi had my KZ900 A4 about 4 years now but met a guy on a Z1000 the other day who suggested I should sign up
