Thanks.
The difficulty is in getting the pinion in - even on its own, without the housing.

Replacing Tacho Drive Z1000
I had an oil leak from the tacho drive on my Z1000A.
Having replaced the oil seal and o-ring, I now can't get the drive pinion back into the head.
Is there some trick to getting it back in?

SRM wheelbuilding - any good? Suggestions?
Having sourced a decent rear hub for my Z1 (thanks Keith), I am now in need of a wheelbuilder. The build will be with a stainless rim and stainless spokes. SRM seem to have pretty reasonable prices - has anyone here used them? Were you happy with the result? Does anyone have an alternative suggestio...

Best source for braided hoses for twin disc Z1?
My Z1 currently has a "race" front brake hose arrangement, with separate hoses running from the master cylinder direct to each caliper. I am looking to change back to the conventional arrangement in which a single hose runs from the master cylinder to a fork-mounted splitter, with each cal...

Complete Z1 rear wheel or just hub and brake plate
I have a Z1A with alloy wheels which I want to fit with conventional spoked wheels. I have found a newly laced front wheel with a new stainless rim, but need to find a rear. I would be happy to buy a wheel that needs rebuilding, as I am interested in appearance rather than authenticity! But obviousl...

Z1parts.net list a pair of "mufflers" but I don't see downpipes. I don't know whether these are an accurate copy of the silencers for an A1. $700 a pair.

Al, I'm pleased that you have found a good solution. It would be good to hear how the bike handles once you've got the new parts fitted. Thanks for the details of the two RaceTech suppliers - I'll be paying a visit to PDQ. The prices seem pretty reasonable. Coincidentally I came across an article to...

Rear wheel (+brake) front axle clamps + centre stand for Z1A
I currently have alloy wheels on my Z1A but want to switch to wire wheels. I have a newly laced front wheel with stainless rim and spokes but as yet have not found a rear wheel. I'd take a complete hub and brake assembly in good condition or a complete wheel. If the price is right, a wheel that need...

I have Hagon progressives fitted to my Z1000A2. At least with the supplied oil at the recommended level they have made the front end very harsh. Would be fine on a smooth racetrack, but with the tired roads around here it is no fun at all. I weigh about 95kg ( too many pies). Until I read the excell...

Nice bike: the paint is excellent! I'd get a quote from Footman James - especially if you are (or would become) a member of the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club. I think they are happy with some performance mods. I pay about £150 to insure 4 bikes fully comp, agreed value, unlimited mileage with bu...
