Wow - yes I like that - the paint colour really suits it.
I think 'very tidy' is a bit of an understatement
Good luck with the sale

Fantastic looking bike -
I have never had avons on mine - Are they any good?

For Dyna s - Main advantage - as has been said - is lack of maintenance. Main disadvantage is if it goes wrong - employing a 'get you home' fix will not be easy. Having said that - Both the original points and the Dyna s are known to be fairly trouble free. I have dyna coils and the original points ...

Agree with Philippe - I only fill up bikes with the 'Superunleaded' options - and only the 95 octane regular unleaded when I have no choice.
(although over here the ethanol content is still only 5% I believe)

When my factory original reg rec failed in the late 80's I fitted an electrexworld unit which has been on since.
The symptom was a boiled dry battery and battery acid where you don't want it!

Have to agree with David!
Great looking Z1R.

I had similar issues with my A2 The key to sorting it involved a vacuum bleeder. The method that eventually worked for me was: 1 attach the vacuum bleeder to the caliper in the normal way 2 remove the brake line connection to the master cylinder and place in brake fluid container and then draw fluid...

Quite a productive day really - when I got back I decided to do a job i've been meaning to do for over a year - fit a new starter button to replace the broken one. Might be me being ham fisted but I found it a right faff. While I was into the throttle assembly I also fitted new cables. Only problem ...

Put new battery on her yesterday so I thought a road test would be in order.

Instead of watching the footy I decided to take the A2 for an (almost) deserted roads run out.

Yes - now you mention it I did see a maroon 400 departing. - looking very clean. If I had seen it parked I would have come over for a closer look - I jumped off a KH250 straight on to a brand new purple KH400 in 1979. The blend of power (much more than the 250) coupled with a fantastic exhaust noise...

Went to this pub tonight - nothing interesting in the car park but saw a z1a on the road not far from the pub!
Nice night for a run out - whatever the destination -
No traffic

I for one hope Garn stays as a contributor to this site.

Strong Kawasaki contingent -
I will have to have a run up there one Thursday !

I too had a C1 (green one) and I found it very fast with superb brakes. The only minus point was in cold weather it would suffer carb icing. You could add a silkolene additive to the fuel which resolved the problem. I believe C2 and E models have some kind of heating to alleviate. It is a great bike...
