Hi Chaps, I need to refurbish some carb issues on a Z1000A1 project, but cant seem to find a source for standard Mikuni 17.5 pilot jets. Tried a few searches for VM26 pilots: phoned Allens Performance twice and was told "no one available go away". I emailed them and 48 hours later have zer...

Bill, still liking that H2 - sadly still have the projects in progress: long story
Cheers Tim

I thought the models from 76-78 (Z900A4 and Z1000A1 & A2) had the indicator mounts on the OEM grabrail, whereas the earlier bikes had frame mounted rear indicators.

Gav,
only just seen this: did not realise that Bike Fest was this Sunday, and have agreed to be elsewhere : Bugger
Cheers Tim

Nice bikes Bill - would love the H2a: will get one one day, but need to finish a project (or two) before I can fit another bike in my garage.
Cheers Tim.

Guy, I've got an A1 that will soon need a respray, so will be interested to see who and what you go for. Just out of intetrest I recently got a quote from Dream Machine to do mine in Candy Sky Blue, Ive used them before and notwithstanding the negative comments I had heard Ive been pleased with the ...

Have you checked the inlet rubbers for cracks or air bleeds / leaks ? - revs hanging can be a typical symptom.

Made a little progress with the A1: all electrics working, timing spot on (new Dyna S fitted), a bit of powder coating, refurbed the switch gear and harness, fitted new tyre, chain, sprocket, sprocket guard, battery, cables, total rebuild of rear brake, and few hours with the Scotchbrite pads and Qu...

Rob, thanks - think i'll ditch my light test and go as you suggest.
Cheers Tim

hi, just fitted a new Dyna S2 Ignition system to my Z1000a1 resto, all went well until I came to try the "light test" to confirm firing and my light stays on all the time, irrespective of where the pick up / bobbin is on the timimg cam. Its installed as per instructions and "Youtube i...

Snowy thanks for posting this.
I've sent you a PM.
Cheers Tim

Hi, bit of a long shot but does anyone have a spare "Points Cam" for a Z1000A1: ive got the timing auto advancer and full points / condenser set but sadly missing the points cam. I believe its a common OEM part on the Z1, Z900 & Z1000A1 models - but they seem hard to find :( . Please P...

Just started a retso on my latest project - a US Zed Thou A1, a lot of TLC needed, but one day she will be back to her former glory: trying to keep as much as original as poss as chrome and frame are in good condition. Hard to believe she is road legal, even DVLA played a blinder and sorted the firs...

Hi Lex,
nice bikes you've got there: liking the A2 colours .
