Speedo Glass Removal. 1981 KZ1000

Can anyone advise the best way to remove this glass from the metal casing ?
The rubber seal is quite hard after 44 years.
Glass is very thin so easily cracked.

Thank you

Re: Speedo Trip Knob Removal (KZ1000)

Thank you Fluff, You were correct, it is a LH Thread and I did manage to get it off but it was well seized.

Re: BS34 Carbs ?

Thanks Al, So it looks like there are 2 different types and designs of carbs but with the same name / reference (BS34). My 1981 KZ1000 CSR has BS34's without coasting enricher diaphragms, but when I search BS34 on Google it shows images of them with and without them. Its unusual for any manufacturer...

Re: Z1000A1, running super rich?

Have you set your mixtures with a Colortune Plug ?

If not, its well worth buying or borrowing one as its the only way to get them spot on.

Re: BS34 KZ1000 Carbs. Rich

Thanks Warrren,

That is exactly how my 4 plugs look too.
I only use E5 fuel.

Thought I was going mad, but obviously its just the way these carbs / bikes run.

Appreciate your help as ever.
