I’ve been using them on my z1000 (still running points) for the past year. No problems with them at all.

What fuel hose do members use on their bikes? I’ve tried a number of different suppliers but it all seems to harden quite quickly with this modern crap fuel rendering it pretty useless after a while. Any recommendations for decent fuel hose that’ll fit a Z1000a1 with the fuel tap spigots close toget...

I’m looking for a sprocket carrier (42008-034, coupling) for my Z1000A1 spoked wheel. I’ve tried all usual routes, eBay etc. but they seem to be in short supply.

If any forum member has a spare one kicking around that they would be willing to sell, it would be appreciated.

I wonder if any knowledgable forum members could advise as to what rear hub I have on my ‘77 z1000 A1 bike. It doesn’t look like others I have seen which have different sized spoke flanges ie the one on the disk side is smaller in diameter than the sprocket side. Mine seems to have identical diamete...

Thanks for clarifying Speedie. The o rings didn’t look right and weren’t in the parts diagram but I’d thought I’d better check first before I removed them. You never know with these quirky old motors!

Looking at the parts diagram it doesn’t sh...

Don’t fancy the time and expense of restoring it back to standard. Wouldn't take that much 'time' wise, ie new paint, pipes and a correct...

New to the forum and just bought a 1977 Z1000. Have had a lot of air cooled Zs in the past but mostly 400Js, Z550s and Gpz750s- this is my first big Z.
Engine was running a bit rough when I got it but stripped and rebuilt the carbs today and it’s now running like a dream. Great bike!
