Thank you

I have a 1981 KZ1000 USA Import with an 80mph USA speedo.

I want to swap the speedo for a UK 150mph type.

Will the speedo drive down at the front wheel also need replacing or not ?

Thank you for any help.

I had the same fault on one of my ZRX1200R.
Check the block connectors from the clocks.
It was one of the pins had become slightly corroded.
A brief clean and WD40 sorted it.

Thanks R3sc I agree with you there, but I have now removed the paint on a larger area around the hole and the steel is not showing any other signs of other holes or damage, so I intend to lightly centre punch the hole back and fill with a petrol resistant filler and watch it for a month or so before...

I have a very small (microscopic) hole on the side of a petrol tank about 40mm up from the bottom crimp. Its created a very small bubble in the paint about 8mm round over the last 4 weeks. After cutting the bubble out of the paint , I can see a very small spot/stain on the surface of the metal about...

Thanks for suggestion !

Everything has been doen in the last 200 miles.
Oil Filter/ Air Filter / Oil / Plugs / Shims...........etc.

Have not ran with pick-up cover removed..........but what difference would that make ?

Is it common or regular to get a light "Tick" on the above engines from the Ignition Pick-Up area ?
It can only really be heard on idle and not above.

Its NOT leaking exhaust gaskets.
Its NOT valve shims.

Any productive and useful advice appreciated.

Thanks

Thank you for the reply, Its more about if the down pipes with conflict with the frame or bottom of the motor and sump or not that I need to know.
