Autumn Run (before salty roads!)

After listening to the weather forecast this morning I decided that I had better get on a bike and enjoy the fine weather. The forecast for tonight in the midlands was showing frost and that usually means salty roads and the end of my riding season! I had a great 50 mile ride on dry roads. 20221010_...

Re: Z1B Refresh for 2022 Events

1st May 2022, bike completed and ready for first start, fuelled up, new fuel hose fitted with inline filters. The carbs were leaking like a sieve on the T pieces. (The carbs had not been touched since last ride 2 years ago!). Quickly ordered and fitted the 2 new T pieces and fuel leaks banished. Rea...

Re: Z1B Refresh for 2022 Events

I'm just completing the refresh story...I got a bit sidetracked with a bike trip to Turkey, round trip of 6,000 miles in May & June of this year. The engine was largely completed last winter, the remainder of the jobs to do in spring where to replace front and rear wheel bearings, repaint front ...

Re: Side panel mounts

Afternoon folks, I have a Z900 but would like to put the slimmer Z1B type side panels on it. Ideally repaint in that scheme too. My question is if I buy the Z1B brackets that provide the front mounting for the side panel lugs, will they fit my bike ? And if so, do I need to change anything else to ...

Re: Z1B Refresh for 2022 Events

Decided to crack on with camshafts and timing today. Removing the old cam sprockets was difficult since the securing bolts had been treated to permanent thread lock. Needed to get a large wrench out to stop the camshafts turning. New sprockets fitted and treated to non-permanent thread lock. Install...

Re: Z1B Refresh for 2022 Events

How time flies, I've managed some time working on the bike over the past few days, cleaned up the head, fitted the new cam idler sprockets and I am using a Vesrah gasket set for this rebuild. Annealed the copper washers and then fitted the head and it is now torqued down. Next task is to change the ...

Re: Z1B Refresh for 2022 Events

The job that I least like is putting the barrel back on, always makes me nervous. This time I used the special Kawasaki tool that I recently managed to find on ebay, however the one I have is really for the 1000cc engine, but with care it can be used. As usual first attempt I did not have it done up...

Re: Z1B Refresh for 2022 Events

Hi, That motor is looking great. I’m just on with stripping my A1 and my engine needs some serious cleaning. Could I ask, who’s cam chain hardware did you buy? Did you get the kit from Zpower? Keep up the good work. I purchased the adjustable cam sprockets (APE) and the top idler gear assembly(APE)...

Re: Z1B Refresh for 2022 Events

Thanks for your encouragement and words of advice Philippe. I often look through your posts on your projects for tips and technique, very helpful. Today I worked on the installation of the new IMD pistons, I found the circlips quite a bit stronger and thicker than the kawasaki ones. I needed to deve...
