Re: Z1000A1 airbox
Hi malc87 the "clean air system" was a device kawasaki develloped for the US environment regulations. A tube ran from the air filter box to a vacuum valve where it was split in two tubes. Those tubes went to the valve cover where there was a one way valve that permitted fresh air to be suc...

Re: Original Colour scheme, how to find out what it was
Hi Phil welcome to the club! Finding out what original colour scheme your Z1A had is very difficult. To my knowledge there's no list of which bike had which colour scheme. If it's repainted sometime in the past you might be lucky if you have a look at the underside of the fuel tank. Try to wash off ...

A few months ... In the mean time the engine that came out of the B2 , which is in fact a Gpz1100 Uni-Trac engine,...

Re: Hello and KZ900LTD advise
Hi Mark welcome to the club! You're at the right place for asking questions about the old Zeds. As previously stated by Ultim8pc the Ltd isn't reaching the value of a normal Z900. If you're able to buy one for a good price and you want it, just do it. Restoring a Ltd can be as expensive as restoring...

Re: Z1000A project
Hi John
just go for it! She can be restored, I've done worse cases.
Find the correct parts and use good bolts.
You can find the correct camshaft cap n°2 but take good care and make sure it's the same because there are many details to look after.
Good luck!

Re: Tank Liner
Hi r3sc I use the tank liner from Restom, if it's used properly, according to the manufactorers standards, it lasts for at least 20 years. It comes in a kit with degreaser, deruster and a two component resin. It takes a few days to apply it and after the tank is lined you have to wait a week before ...

Re: Kawasaki Z1A from Holland
Hi Lex great work you're doing! I can see that the pistons are first oversize (0.50). It could be usefull to install new piston rings and to hone the cylinders. If the bike stood so long there might be a little damage to the cylinder walls and the piston rings could be "tired". Since the e...

Re: Z1A Security bolt(s)
Hi Warren
I had a look at an original Takasago rim and that's the location I found. I think it's obvious that the two masses of the tyre grippers should be located 180° opposite to one another in order to avoid too much unbalance in the wheel...
It makes sense to me...doesn't it?

Re: Z1A Security bolt(s)
Hi MrDavo if you make two holes for the tyre grippers they should be 180 ° opposite to one another. The exact location compared to the valve hole is between the fourth and fifth nipple hole counting from the valve hole counterclockwise. The other tyre gripper hole must be located at 180° opposite to...

Re: Time to rebuild my old GPz
Hi Marc
most of the time consuming work is done ! Now it's time for fun!
Think twice before you install a part, if you do that too soon it might stand in the way for installing another part.
But anyway have fun !!!
