thank u

Can anyone save me time and tell me what diameter of pipe I need for my Z1000?

The current fuel pipe is really heavy duty stuff and I had a helluva job getting it on and off, so would like to replace it

Ta for advice

Don't use fully synthetic oil in these, just normal 10/40 semi. If it's that bad i would fit a new filter and some cheap 10/40. Give it a good run , drain it out hot and then refill with another filter. I use Smith and Allen 10/40 in all of mine, it's some of the best out there and you are not payi...

No I got the paint done, the bike was 3 colours when I got it.
I saw the design on Google Images and just thought it suited it.

ok, just wondered, nice bike all the same

you didn't but no matter, hopefully you have the right info now

Joke lads, happy to be corrected!

what's this, pick dave up on his mistakes day, sorry assumed it was a Z1000 we were talking about LOL

well there you go, euro ones had them, AND they are the same part number as the ebay link I posted

Did that bike come from Scotland originally, I went to see one very like it a good few years ago, the colour scheme was very similar, should have bought it!

Mike I think these were only fitted to US models, you can get a red one via Z power which looks similar, but I can't see an orange one listed, if you can get the US parts schematic, then it could be part still available, sure Phil at Z Power will know BUT type Kawasaki Frame Reflectors into US Ebay,...
