OK Thanks for the advice, the head is currently off and having work done at Cylinder Head Shop in Louth so I will have a new seat put in on at the same time....its only
money.

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?

Hello, can anyone advice what the compression reading should be for the Z1 engine, its fitted with wiseco 76mm pistons?

Hi is that because the shim may bend as its only 1.9mm thick?

Hello I need a shim for a Z1B (larger type) about 1.9mm, do you have one I could swap please?

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.

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...

when high in revs. Is there a real benefit or would std plates be OK with maybe heavier springs?
