Shim adjustment
Hello, Having shimmed up my head on my Z1B I find one shim needs to be 1.9mm thick, all the rest were 2mm +, I have been advised this is too thin and would not
fit it but what is the solution?

Re: 13mm Under Bucket Shim Swap Shop. Now Under New Management…. Again.
Hi is that because the shim may bend as its only 1.9mm thick?

Shim adjustment
Hello, excuse my ignorance in this matter but I've always had a shop do this, now the shop's closed and it seems no one's interested or got the tools anymore. I've just rebuilt the engine on my 1975 Z1B and after grinding all the valves in and fitting a couple of new valve guides most of the shim cl...

Rubber Bits
Hi, just after some advice, I've just dumped last years oil and filter to find a number of small black hard rubber bits luckily picked up by the filter. I have a PMC auto cam chain adjuster
fitted but would like opinions to where they may be from
Thanks

OIL WARNING LIGHT FLICKER Z1B
Hello,
I was recently checking the head bearings and happened to have the engine running when I noticed the oil light flicker whilst rocking the bike. When ticking over
and riding there is nothing. I am using a semi synthetic 10/40 oil, would mineral oil be better?
Thanks
Stinky

Re: APE Extra Clutch Plate Kit
Hello, thanks for the responses, I fitted cheap plates and kept the std springs when rebuilt 4 years ago and under heavy load it slips. I am going to replace and can find EBC heavy duty plates and springs on Ebay for about £70.00. I am no lunatic on a bike especially a 45 yr old one so will probably...

APE Extra Clutch Plate Kit
Does anyone know what the advantages are to fitted the APE extra friction plate clutch kit are? I have converted to a hydraulic clutch and noticed it slipping
when high in revs. Is there a real benefit or would std plates be OK with maybe heavier springs?

Z1B Revamp
Hi,
just finished a 2 year refurb on my Sanctuary inspired Z1B, I know its not everyone's cup of tea but the mods mean it goes around corners and stops when
required, and with 102HP it doesn't hang around either. Hope you like it
