Re: Genuine versus replica fenders/mudguards?

I paint waxoyl underseal under my fronts cos it can't be seen once bike is together.

Re: Desperately need help

Hi There
You can have a digital copy of the Owners manual for the Z1 off my web site here -

It will explain the functioning of the carbs and may help you to understand where the issue lies.

ENJOY your lanes.
