Z1 front suspension
Hi all Have a z1 with early front suspension. It is a bit clunky. I have read elsewhere that this is a common characteristic of these and Kawasaki changed this system going forward.

Loctite on cylinder studs
Hi All
Which Loctite or equavalent is recommended for the cylinder studs that hold the head and barrel together?
I'm thinking Loctite 272 but any others better or more suitable?
thanks in advance

Re: Z1000 swingarm
Hi thanks for the reply. I think that only the bearings are different between the a1 and a2? Which I believe won't cause me a problem to fit?

Z1000 swingarm
Hi looking now for a standard z1000 a1 or a2 swing arm not bothered which also if anyone can confirm z1r swingarm might fit as the part number appears to be the same? Many thanks.

Re: Dyna coil
So got a replacement coil and changed the mounting arrangements on both to this. Bike fired up and hopefully no further problems. Thanks for the help all.

Re: Dyna coil
Yes a good tip thanks again
Re: Dyna coil
I can dispense with the nylon washers and use some extra half nuts on the screws to mount the coils in the current position
Re: Dyna coil
Thanks Warren That is a steel washer under the cross head screw. I used the nylon washers as the slot pan screws that connect to the coils are close to the bikes frames and can touch and short to keep them away from the frame. So I guess I need to somehow allow the metal heat sink to dissipate heat ...
Re: Dyna coil
this is the other side the duff coil was mounted the same
