Simoniz tough paint
Is the tough black the same as the tough black engine enamel?
Was going to do the GPz11 frame in tough gloss black but it seems to have changed to engine enamel?
Any thoughts?
Cheers

Re: A Four Cylinder W1400? …A Midlife Update of my retro styled Z
Nice build and a very informative piece on ethanol. I have 5 mowers plus chainsaw, hedgecutter, 2 strimmers, 2 bikes on the road and a genny. Taking a carb off a mower takes 15 mins, diaphagm carbs are more complicated with the membranes and microscopic orifices. Bike carbs, as we all know are a pai...

Re: GPz11 Uni front wheel bearings
Thanks chaps. I was over thinking it. I thought the silver lip obscuring the circlip was another clip. Didn't realise it was part of the casting until I saw Angus' pic showing the the two 'lugs' on 41064. The centre sleeve took some persuasion to move out the way to get the drift in and the speedo d...

GPz11 Uni front wheel bearings
Cleaning up the wheel ready for new bearings and I'm stumped. FSM says remove the clips from each side, then remove the speedo drive and punch the bearings out, if I'm reading it right. However, on the speedo drive side the circlip is behind the speedo drive which is stuck fast. It's also slighlty d...

Re: Oil pump gasket
Thanks, I realise new is the best way but with other gaskets if correctly greased before hand can be reused. The reason I was asking is that they are 7 euros plus shipping here in France. After cleaning up the bits I've spotted a small tear so it will need one anyway now.

Oil pump gasket
Just stripped the oil pump on the Gpz11 for a clean and the FSM says to replace the gasket. It is in one piece and not damaged. Do I need to replace it?

Re: Much cooler downpipe
Couldn't really see the colortune due to sunlight but did a sync. No 2 had risen 6cm. Levelled that off with No.1 then had to bring 1/2 down 3cm to match 3/4 lifting the idle as I went to stop it stalling. I starts very well, no popping at all on choke and very steady cold or hot. Went for a quick b...

Re: Much cooler downpipe
Gasket turned up yesterday so that was fitted along with RTV for cam cover halves. Chucked the tank on, prime for 20 secs, full choke, started 'quart de tour' as we say in French. Checked the temps of the downpipes and No.2 now gets as got as the rest. Tank back off tomorrow evening to redo the mixt...
