Seat lock

Hi Guys,
As above, seat/helmet lock to fit a Z1000J, B1/B2 1100 or 1000R. Not working or no key is fine, i only need the main body.
Cheers.

Brake fluid hose

Hi, Z1000J/GPz1100/Z1000R. Rear brake master cylinder to piston rubber hose (non pressurised). I need to replace mine as I have to disassemble the master cylinder from it to fit new spring. Can't pull it off, and don't want to cut it off as NLA from Kawasaki (part number 43059-1096). Anyone know it'...

Re: Needle rollers in swingarm Z1000J

Finally got them out, removed the cage and ground through the outer shells to split them. Even then they were difficult to get purchase on to tap free. Dremel to the rescue once again....
Thanks both for your advice.

Re: Needle rollers in swingarm Z1000J

Thanks Al,
No luck with mine, I'm going to grind through the cage with mounted points and hopefully split it.

Needle rollers in swingarm Z1000J

Hi Guys, Does anyone know any clever ways to remove the needle rollers from my swingarm? I don't want to thrash them out using the central spacer bar, but the spacer bar also stops you getting behind the bearings from opposite side of the arm too.

Sight glass

Hey Guy's,

Does anyone know if there is a sight glass available, genuine or not, for the square Z1000J front master cylinder ? There's not one shown in the parts manual, but the reservoir body isn't listed either.
Cheers.
