Thanks for reply, yes soaked mine overnight too, re fitted all cases and filled with new oil and filter, also as prev stated new ball bearing and pushrid too so hoping thats made a big difference. Incidentallt i notice the 5mm difference in spring length, which are the original the 35mm or the 40mm?...

Thanks for reply, will give them a soak overnight.
Cheers

Morning Guys, yes i know its been a while, but to be honest its been so called in winter have neglected my baby( Z900) until now. So before the cold spell i was having trouble with my clutch sticking so bought all new clutch plates, springs, cable and push rod and ball bearing. I also fully drained ...

Just seen this post, i too live in East Yorks Hull, i bought a new rim for my Z900 A4 as the chrome on my other was very poor to say the least, have kept old Takasago rim though. Anyway i respoked the rear wheel a while back myself as again spokes were very rusty and pitted. I used Phillipes guide t...

Hi Guys thanks for replies, never even thought of that duh! Yes cable comes up through ears from left hand frame leg, but also tried on outside of ears up through tank edge too. I also tried with cable from clutch housing inside frame and outside frame no difference. However when i look at bars thin...

Afternoon Guys not been at it for a while, too cold in garage even with fan heater on, perhaps im getting a wuss but def feel it more these days! Brrrh! Anyway all parts arrived, new ball bearing, new pushrod and new clutch all fitted, also fitted new clutch cable, the old one was wrong one and far ...

A while ago now i stripped my Z900 A4 engine for full rebuild and vapour blasting, whilst everything was i bits decided the cylinder head needed some work, new valve guides, head skim and to assess minute cracks ( which forum advised was normal) etc. I also noticed that 1 of the plug threads had bee...

Well if thats true theres no appreciable play in any of the plates to pins, youd expect with 1/2" difference you'd be able to feel it when you pull and push it on the links? Anyway regardless new ones in place now so problem sorted, least that side of it, time will tell on the remainder. Clutch...

Yes thanks Rob i did remember, counted from next after mark, cant believe how much original chain had stretched. Realky surprised me! Measured both, new one nearly 1/2 " shorter then old one yet appeared to be no play in links themselves, so guessing extra is every part has stretched a small am...

Afternoon Guys, thanks for all the comments they helped Friend made a solid steel plate 5" x 1" suitably drilled to match cylinder head cam cover holes, then bolted down tightly, this had 2 clamps 1 at either end to hold camchain tight against the plate so as not to move. Then the top link...

Thanks for reply, thats, exactly what seller said too, just wanted to verify before proceeding, now managed to press plate onto pins ready for peining, my friend is making a plate that bolts onto head with a large mass so you can pein against it, he uses it on Hodnas but re drilling it to suit Z900....

Quick question Guys from someone whos done this, new Did camchain arrived, ground off heads on 2 pins then pushed old link out, attached new chain then pulled new one through, so now go new soft link with the 2 ends, assumed top plate would fit onto link then pein over protruding ends, but the new t...

Cant honestly say whether their the best or not, but will certainly do the job, unfortunately most of the cheaper ones available wont and you dont know that until you buy them, then find out, despite their varying prices on Ebay, Amazon and Ali express suspect their all the same from chinese manufac...

Theres some Morgan Carbtune ones listed on ebay at moment, think cheapest are £100 inc postage, but their upright tube type rather then circular gauge as in your photo. If your carbs are anything like most posters on here then they will probably need constant fettling to keep at their best. So may b...

I bought a set off ebay same as photo, thinking i could use them on the Z900 complete waste of money, def not worth buying the cheaper ones ie below £60. Even with the adjusment valves almost closed needles bounce around so much so they're unuseable. You would be better borrowing a decent set from a...
