I love it, it's even got a towing ball...

The easiest way to tell is by the clocks. The J2 has 2 separate clocks and a fuel gauge in the middle. The J3 has an instrument pod like the Z1000R.Also the speedo drive on a J2 is electric,mecahnical with a cable on a J3 Spot on, also carb tops are round pressings and chrome plated, not squared of...

Sweet, that's lovely, really clean and love the colour

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.

Thanks for looking Phil, it's much appreciated.
I'll take a look and see if the 550 version is available.....cheers.

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'...

Hi Will,
Do you, or anyone else know if stock shocks can be rebuilt/restored? Is that your plan ?
Cheers

Cheers for the advice.

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. Don't need to save rollers or seals as new ones goin...

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.

I have a Z1000J3 (1983), the top yoke, clocks and headlight fixing arrangement is totally different to that of the earlier 81/82 J1 and J2. Mine is same as later (83/84) Z1100/1000R. If you have an individual speedo (electronic) and tacho you have the earlier arrangement. The later R model arrangeme...
