Re: Engine oil

ZEd1015, I wasn't suggesting you ( or anyone else ) had copied and pasted or Googled. Apologies if you got that impression. I agree with you and now use almost any 10/40 semi=synth I can get hold of.

Re: Engine oil

I'm not an oil expert, and don't profess to be. what I can tell you is this : Over the last 15 years, I've restored and run 6 Gs1000's, a CBX, Z1300 , both Benelli sixes, Z1a, Z1r , Guzzi Lemans 3 and a few others I cant remember. I tried Mobil 1 fully synth in nearly all of them ( bought a drum of ...

brake caliper

Grease gun as Paul said. Put the caliper back together if split, put pistons back in and clamp the free ones. Block the fluid inlet with washers and the banjo bolt, then apply a grease gun to the bleed nipple ( opened of course ). Grease gun can apply massive pressure, and when a piston comes out, y...

900A4 carb needle jet code

could someone with the genuine Kawasaki workshop manual kindly tell me the correct code for the needle jets on the A4 carbs. Then I can order new ones from Allens before removing the old worn ones.

Thanks in advance

brake lever travel

are you sure that you are not suffering with slightly more seal stiction than usual in the calipers, especially with the pistons being stainless rather than chromed finish ? I have experienced this before with stainless pistons. It can show up as the calipers having slack on the discs which you can ...
