What fluid are you using? I changed from DOT 4 to DOT 5 a while ago and it took me about 2 hours to bleed.
I was warned that bleeding with DOT 5 takes more time.
My hand was dropping off by time I finished but boy, the sense joy when it finally worked.

Re: 72 Z1 for sale-comments gents.
What is missing, John? There are about 13 things I saw from the clip that I would personally not be happy with but that is just because my mind is that way inclined. I'm not going to slate off other peoples hard work and expenditure. This is still a very nice bike, but not for me. And yes, it is wa...

Re: 72 Z1 for sale-comments gents.
Mentions a guru but not named , how many gurus can you name .Achim , Z2John, Not me. Have to say, I haven't seen this yet as I am not a member of that forum. I always think that anyone can restore a Z1 to 95% correct for the usual cost but every 1% more you strive to perfection will cost at least a...

someone will flip this for a tidy profit. I'd give you 85 but I don't need one. I hope the buyer genuinely needs one

Re: Another boring question about Z1 date codes
Ah yes thats what i was wondering, so would the forks with no markings be for the 1974 so, i know the 73 had bullet shape fender mounts not flush. Speaking of the 73, I have the thin wall points cover, thats is for the 73 only right? Only early Z1 had the 'bullet' as you say. No marked forks could ...

Re: Another boring question about Z1 date codes
Yes you can.
By the way, you mentioned about fork legs with a number cast into them. This will be the number 2 I assume you are referring too? These 'number 2' forks were only found on Z1B.
The number/letter stamp by the axle mount is same as my earlier post (assemblers stamp ID)

Re: Another boring question about Z1 date codes
These are not date codes but the assembler's identifier stamp for quality purposes. When for example, your caliper was assembled, he would stamp his N2 mark as the assembler so if there was a problem they would know the guilty party. If you were to find NOS parts for these individual items (say the ...
