The z1000st has a wider swing arm (around 40mm) I suspect the silencer will sit further out if fitted to a Z1R.

DVLA computer was set up late 1998. So if your bike has not had a change in registered owner / taxed since then extremely difficult to trace.

Unfortunately it’s mullered now, you need another new one. Sounds like it was faulty. You might be able to get your money back. Fingers crossed.

Love em. especially the MkII.

Turn it off and get a combined rectifier / regulator.

He may have put the cam caps on in the wrong place / switched them around ?

Talk to hutch - pontefract panel and paint. He'll give you the run down on which primer, undercoat and top coat to use.

Got to be blue. Best colour.

Hello and welcome. Good to be on the road.

Thanks for the replies. It's a US import and had already been repainted. DVLA says 1974 Green but the frame/Engine numbers come up as 1975/Z1B. I guess they just have whatever the importer gave them at the time. I'll look for previous paint as suggested. If that doesn't work, I'm thinking the blue ...

Only tells you the colour the vehicle currently should be. Not original colour.

Looking good.

This forum is a lot better than most. Haven’t noticed much bad mouthing / bitching etc. It is easy to misread writing - as impossible to judge emotion / or intent of the writer.

Hope the owner manages to recoup his money.

It will fit. Only thing you may have to do is alter silencer mounting bracket.

Stunning bike. Would love that in my garage.

Fuel tap on a bike 40+ years old can be a right pain to get parts for and fix. Glad you got it sorted.
